Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

[Deleted member 7219]

Went back to mother base and found the woman I recruited.

Beat her up and threw her off a railing. She fell and hit the bottom of the platform below. She died. Game over.

"Maybe you're not the boss we thought you were."

Hayter got worse and worse as time went on.

Kiefer does a great job, notwithstanding the fact that he has maybe 300 lines and often goes into "Hey I'm just Kiefer Sutherland" mode sometimes.

Ocelot put me to fucking sleep. God damn is he boring.

Yeah it's pretty retarded how all of the advertising for this game was "MEN BECOME DEMONS" featuring "VENOM" snake - how Kojimbo went on about how "THERE ARE THINGS IN THIS GAME SO CONTROVERSIAL I MAY BE FORCED OUT OF THE INDUSTRY!!"

Then in the actual game it's an instant game over if you kill kids, and you can't even use all of your CQC moves against them.

In fact, Venom is pretty much the pinnacle of Dindu Nuffin in this game.

Doubly so, given that he steals everything and everyone not bolted down hard enough.

MGSV is basically an irrelevant side story.

Spoiler

This is a massive problem with all the Big Boss games after Snake Eater from a story perspective, as I've said many times.

I agree that a "missing link" to tie Snake Eater and Metal Gear 1 together was never needed. But if they're going to make a game about it, they could at least ACTUALLY DO IT. Portable Ops was billed as the "missing link." Then Peace Walker was. Then Phantom Pain was. TPP ended up being even less relevant to the overall story than either PO or PW. What a giant waste of time.

I still like PeePee quite a bit as a game, though to me the best of the series is still the MGS1-MGS4 quadrilogy.

And like I join Phage's fight against anyone who disses MGS2, I shall also CQC (Closely Quoted Copypasta, a basic form of internet combat) anyone who disses MGS4.

Skipping out on the old MGS games would be a mistake since you'd be missing out on some of the most memorable boss fights that video games have ever been graced with.

You'd also be missing out on hours and hours of cutscenes and codec conversations that will have you screaming "Will you all just shut up and let me actually play this damn game?!".

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Did you unlocked mission 46?

What was the bonus for owning Ground Zeroes beyond the extra Sneaking suit and staff that was being talked about before release?

The bonuses from GZ save transfer are:

100% clear = MGS1 Solid Snake player model
Any save = R&D can develop GZ sneaking suit and golden bionic arm
Any prisoners extracted = Special volunteers show up at Mother Base, none of them of particular note (few of them have an A grade category) EXCEPT...
Clear Extract Intel Operative = Hideo Kojima volunteer for Mother Base (S Rank, has A+ in R&D and S in Intel)

Aww you can only get him with a GZ import? Was kinda looking forward to put him in my team

 

[Phage]

You'd also be missing out on hours and hours of cutscenes and codec conversations that will have you screaming "Will you all just shut up and let me actually play this damn game?!".

The codecs are fun though since it's Kojimbo autistically explaining every detail of his world with ridiculous psuedo science.

That said, you can always just skip through those if you really want.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

MGS1 has the best Codecs. They're also aesthetically great and age like fine wine, what with the results they got with limited animation of well-illustrated portraits.

No, you can still get him through other means if you don't import from GZ.

I just bought this... on my XOne (have all the other stuff on PS). Microsoft gave away Ground Zeroes on Free with Gold, so I have that too. If there's a bonus to unlock, I suppose I should play it.

 

[Comrade Goby]

Any6body seen the latest on Kojima's ruse cruse?



This video has an image of Colonel Campbell and was uploaded 2 days after Ground Zeroes

Also that channel is a lot of work at high production value for an autist, right?

If this turns out true Kojime had ascended into godhood

 

[KK1001]

A lot of wishful thinking.

 

[Comrade Goby]

A lot of wishful thinking.

You will be ashamed of your words

 

[KK1001]

Everyone was kucked so hard by Kojima and Konami that they have to believe this is all an epic ruse. It's not happening.

true ending sucked. omitted ending was good, thanks Konami

Best codecs? Aesthetically great? Fine wine? Limited animation? Portraits?

You forgot an important part of Snakeism reply, "Hrrrmmhh, portraits?"

Speaking of which, only Hayter can do a Snakeism right.

Played a little of Ground Zeroes earlier...

Yeah, Sutherland is different. I'm still getting used to it.

edit: Also, I skipped out on Peacewalker. Now I feel like playing that first instead.

 

[Volrath]

I never tried any of the old MGS games.
Should/could i still give this a try or will i miss out to much?

Skip all even numbered MGS. Those are shit.

Play them in this order: MGS1 - MGS3 - MGS5

You go from good to heaven to meh.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Phage it's time to kill this nigga dissing MGS2 and MGS4.
