It has almost been 2 years. Have you recovered yet?
>>
>>382229070
Yeah I guess I have. My biggest annoyances at the time were:
Paz, and grinding out her scenes because she was hidden in a place you had no reason to ever go
Finding out Mission 51 was not in the game at all, and that it wasn't something I needed to meet some requirements for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDtj-2qnTXk
Now both of these things could easily have been fixed by now, patching in a Yellow Side OP for Paz's room after your first Wandering Dogs Side OP.
And Mission 51 they didn't even have to make playable, they could have just finished off the cinematics they already had.

There is no way that Konami would agree to such a ruse, with all the negative PR that has swirled up since Kojima's departing the company. Especially with the most recent revelations about how they're actively preventing the new Kojipro from getting health insurance, it's very improbable that there's a ruse.

Being able to spawn into every mission with any vehicle or weapon you wanted really ruined the tension of most missions

NPCs react to player driven tanks as if they're silenced weapons

The chopper should have been able to take commands from you to allow you to actually use the minigun ie. Keep circling the LZ if there is still enemies

Battle gear should have been usable

Slow motion should have been removed. The NPCs already have a viewing distance as of they had cataracts

Head shots with trancs should not have instantly put the enemy out
Putting a tranc to the neck should have been more efficient

Stealth should have been more rewarding at the end of missions. I often found myself with better rankings for rushing in and killing everyone and was graded worse for taking my time and never being caught once

Buddies should have been less op. Other than d horse they really trivialized every mission

More corridor stealth segments. There should have been mgs1 styled level design underground bunkers to infiltrate

Again, restrict access to weapons and vehicles on many levels

The Fulton and by an even larger extension, the worm hole, really removed any reason to try to his bodies or deal with enemy tanks

The horn was dumb, but more the permanent blood was stupid

You should have gotten most of your fighting force through hiring volunteers, not Fultons.

High value enemies that you desired should have been extracted via helicopter like in GZ

The Fulton in general was just a pile of shit

No traces bonus. Rewards you with 200k points on top of everything else if you do not use items or fire guns or knock/fulton out any guards.

Everything else it's an okay criticism.

Kojima is not involved, he just happens to be a movie freak and the director is a kojifan so ofcours hes asking for any advice to make a good movie. There is nothing oficial is just like Del Toro asking kojima his opinion about movies.

>>
>>382234610
I felt the OP nature of a few of the early items made all the customization of kit redundant. There's basically no situation that CQC, smoke grenades and the tranq pistol couldn't solve. Add in the fulton and held up guards never getting off the ground and there was basically no challenge left. Sneak close, spam smokes, CQC everyone, hold up on the ground. Take your sweet time checking their states and move on. Even in larger areas, you could just do this incrementally until the whole area was free from guards.

Finished this recently. I'm sure anything I can say has been said a million times before, but holy fuck what a shitshow this turns into.

>Quiet dies because the helicopter pilot is an actual fucking retard
He only knows how to speak ENGLISH THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE and can't get anyone else on the line. He also needs constant detailed instruction on how to fly helicopter. How did he even land this position? And they expected this scene of Quiet instructing a retard how to do his job to be emotional or some shit.

>Boss lets Huey go because "we have no right to judge an enemy"
Everything about this is infuriatingly stupid. They've killed countless enemies before this. But suddenly it's wrong and immoral to judge the traitorous scumbag that fucked you over at every chance and infected your men with parasites forcing forced you to kill them?

>constantly lets all the murderous kids attempt to murder them, riot, and steal shit because "but their kids though"
Literally what the fuck. Why are they not at least detained? What is wrong with these people.

>ends with the hospital mission...again

Boo hoo the pilot only spoke one language? he must be retarded! I'm sure you could fly a helicopter being able to speak Spanish!
The Quiet scene was emotional because she spoke, causing the parasites to hatch, she chose to help venom snake and walk into the desert and die on her own so she wouldn't cause others to die.

>>Boss lets Huey go because "we have no right to judge an enemy"
>Everything about this is infuriatingly stupid. They've killed countless enemies before this. But suddenly it's wrong and immoral to judge the traitorous scumbag that fucked you over at every chance and infected your men with parasites forcing forced you to kill them?
He let him go because he realised that Huey wasn't on his side, he was just trying to make him join him and that the outbreak was his fault for allowing Huey to stay.

>>constantly lets all the murderous kids attempt to murder them, riot, and steal shit because "but their kids though"

>mfw haven't played anything after phantom pain

>>
It took me 60 hours to get bored with the gameplay. Gameplay was fun and rolled out enough shit to keep me engaged.

Why would I care about the story? Every Kojima written narrative has been absolute dogshit since MGS3. Anyone that expected V's story to be good after MGS4 and Peace Walker were fucking retards

So yeah, I don't hate it.
>>
>>382229070
>Have you recovered
I was never a Metal Gear fanboy manchild so no, I never needed to recover. It was a fantastic game, it still is, and proably the first game Kojima actually enjoyed making in more than a decade.

While MGS4 was a big fuck you to the fans disguised in what fans wanted and Peace Walker was kept from reaching its potential by the shitty hardware limitations, MGSV felt like a a game he wanted to make for a long time.

It feels different from the rest. It's almost devoid of humor, everyone is angry, the bosses are almost missing, but what we got is a very polished product. I wish people would stop longing for the perfect game in their heads and realise what a pleasant surprise this game was. I certainly was pleased, especially after being so disappointed with Kojima and his studio for more than a decade.

>>382235216

But there's nowhere left for MGSV to go. Notice how I said V, not Metal Gear.

>>382229070
I recently started playing it again. I don't care much about the story but I can play this game for hours just because of how solid the gameplay is. Attacking the same outposts gets repetitive a bit but I like switching up how I play and the gear I use.

The resource gathering and development wait times are bullshit though, especially since it doesn't continue when the game's off.
>>
>>382243106
What's so hard to understand that Chapter 2 is the equivalent to Peace Walker's Chapter 5, except there's no boss fight?

>>382243172
Because Mission 51 takes place long before Mission 46 and (according to datamined shit) even before Mission 43. It also fixes nothing. It's not an ending. It doesn't affect Venom in any way.

>>382229070

There tons of depth in the mechanics but there is almost none in the level design and mission structure. There are probably only 4 missions/camps in the whole game that are actually different and everything else has the same achievements. On a technical it's impressive but on a fundamental level MGSV is not very good and clearly unfinished.

>>382244046
>none in level design
Nope, there actually is. Every single "big" base does three things:
1)Is accurate with how it looks, how it feels. There's no Camp Omega in Aghanistan because it wouldn't make sense. Do you really think there were CIA-like bases constructed back when the Afghan was still under Soviet occupation? Nope. It's why you can only infiltrate villages, settlements and the occasional destroyed airport/oil refinery.

2)Pretty much every single base is designed to look like their counterpart in reality. Check out Lamar Khatee Palace and the actual, real one that existed.

>clearly unfinished
Not as unfinished as you think. People think it's missing an ending. It's actually missing something before the ending.

I like to believe that Venom was never working with Big Boss and is just crazy and made everything up in his head because of implanted memories by the Patriots. Ocelot made a fake Big Boss for the patriots to use and once Big Boss built his army, he sent Solid Snake to kill their fake boss. Which is why members from Foxhound like Grey Fox were captured in MG1. It wouldn't make sense for Big Boss to capture his own people if he was working with Venom. BB didn't know/ approve of shit from Diamond dogs and Big Medic.

I like 5 but to call it poignant is to ignore how much of an island that final cutscene was compared to the rest of the game.

The whole concept of making an MGS game fundamentally unsatisfying in many of the key elements of the series was not a good idea. I know why skullface is unsatisfying as an antagonist for example, but it does not justify that decision when considering the sacrifices Kojima had to make to get his point across.

No. I'll never recover. In fact I'm planning to make an indie game "prequel" to MGSV. I'll make sure to only reference MGS very lightly so that nobody can actually sue me. It'll be set in post-WW2 USSR in Siberia and it'll be about the owner of that pin that killed Zero. I'll try to merge MG1 top-down gameplay with MGS1 visuals, MGSV AI systems and Zelda1 open world structure. Look out for that game in about 5 years. It'll take time, I can't even start on it yet, I'm just a junior in a shit AA studio currently, there's a long way ahead.

It certainly did kill something inside of me, like the hope that there are video game devs out there that are not hacks. Even if MGS was usually kinda stupid, I could appreciate the love that was put into the game and the little details everywhere so much that it made it my favorite series. V was just an empty open world piece of vomit.
The situation at Konami was a factor but overall it was the game Kojima wanted to make.
It's a better splinter cell than it is a MGS.

I'm finishing MGSV (I've already played the hospital mission), it's my first MGS game. I love it. I see why you hate the ending. I can see the good intention on it, but it needed more work. Some things are unfinished and some other are just simply not very well made. If second chapter were like the first one, it would have been just so perfect. But I love it anyway.

I'm also playing MGS1. I understand literally nothing about what it's happening but I am ejoying it.

V is basically PW but with a SHIT TON of unnecessary padding to fill time. The open world garbage only makes it so you waste time and doesn't actually have any positive effect on gameplay besides doing le wacky reddit stunts and grinding your guns you won't use. Both V and PW are mission based at their core, but PW doesn't waste your time. You select a mission and it drops you right into the heat of it immediately. It was built this way because of PSP limitations and yet V carries this tradition for some reason despite being marketed as open world.

Therefore PW cannot be the shittiest if V exists.

V features REAL TIME R&D. That alone makes it 1000000000x worse than PW. For V you also have to go around the world collecting garbage. This garbage is also consumed every time you deploy depending on what you pick. This is true padding. R&D in PW is nothing compared to V's grindfest.

>>382254179
I have actually. Funnily enough, there's more map variety in PW than in V which is almost 99% attacking generic outposts in 2 maps. Whoa, a dirt road surrounded by 5 small houses so you can capture a nameless soldier. Now that's variety. Oh, maybe you'll have to trail a nameless soldier and THEN capture him. WHOOOOOOOA. PW gets right to the meat of things and gives you what you want.

While I think being able to fulton everyone made the game super easy I can't remember having a whole lot of trouble dealing with bodies in MGS3 either.

Honestly I think that whole problem could have been solved if they made bigger bases with large indoor sections where it would take an incredibly long time to drag someone outside, or just make it so you can't drag people outside. It always felt like the bases were too large and open for the kinds of options you had so you could easily cheese your way through.

Actually, the real grinding in MGSV is done in the online part by endlessly invading other players FOBs because the ingame world does not even have nearly enough resources to come anywhere close to creating any high rank gear.

It's still incredibly disappointing as a video game, but I've come to the realization that Kojima made it that way intentionally, and it's given me a far greater appreciation for the game than when it was first released. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the original vision he had in mind for the game, but whatever that may have been was unfortunately scrapped due to the row with Konami.

MGSV seems to be a more spiteful rendition of the themes in MGS2 that related to the player. Metal Gear Solid 2 encouraged players to be their own individual rather than to live vicariously through Snake. On the other hand, Metal Gear Solid V has the player literally become Big Boss, in a fashion as if Kojima were angrily asking the player "You want to be Biggu Bossu? Fine. Now you Biggu Bossu". Not only was this reveal profoundly disappointing to most players, but Kojima made being Big Boss boring. I don't think it's a coincidence that by the end of the game when the reveal happens, everything has become dull, monotonous, repetitive and tedious, to the point that you're literally replaying missions. And just like we can never truly interact with the characters on our screen, Venom hardly has a relationship with anyone else. People like to blame Sutherland and his assumed exorbitant wages for Venom's taciturn nature, but it seems obvious to me that this is because of his nature as a stand-in for the player. Kojima gave players exactly what they wanted, and made them hate it by sapping all of the romance out of the fantasy of being Big Boss. Because that's the reality. Being Big Boss wouldn't be some perpetually exciting Hollywood spectacle, it would suck. The whole game is built around creating anti-climaxes and disappointing the player.

It's the most brilliant thing Kojima has done since MGS2, but I still can't help but be disappointed by it, as was intended. I would love to have seen Kojima's original designs for the game.

MGS4 had bosses and variety in gameplay. From sneaking, to on trials, to Metal Gear Boss fights. It also had better cqc system, story(that's how bad MSV's story is) and presentation

MGSV had 200 hours of the no Story, Bosses, same missions recycled over and over again.

MGSV might be more fun to play but MGS4 is a more finished game with a complete concept.

>his story has no conclusion, it just ends after an anti-climatic side mission.
Wooow, you're getting somewhere boy. If only you would notice that literally every boss in the game is treated the same way. Maybe you would understand it's not random. Maybe it's not just a joke that Huye is the one who kills Skullface, maybe there's something there if you stop being a brainlet and think for a second.
>>
>>382252614
No, it's still fucking garbage. The story is outright unfinished, has terrible fucking pacing, and never properly explores any of its themes.

85% of the "story" missions in the game are pure filler and contribute nothing to the plot. "Cipher is connected through a proxy to this dude so go take him out" is the setup for the vast majority of MGSV's mission, they don't progress the story in a meaningful manner in the slightest. Then the second half of the game consists of literal reused missions until the final hospital mission, which is virtually incidental to the first mission, appears with quite literally no fucking buildup and abruptly ends the game. There's no proper conclusion in the fucking slightest. Compare that to PW where every single story mission moved the story along at a good, linear pace and has a proper conclusion with a final boss fight against Zeke. It's a fucking night and day difference.

And that's just the fucking pacing. MGSV has a shitload of other crippling flaws:
>Skullface is a shit villain who halfway through the game dies after being built-up so well in GZ.
>The "Man on Fire" is one of the stupidest asspulls in the entire series and his story has no conclusion, it just ends after an anti-climatic side mission.
>Quiet is also a fucking shit character with a terrible story whose entire problem could've been solved by writing on a piece of paper. Choosing to kill Quiet also does absolutely fucking nothing besides outright removing content from the game, compared to killing/saving Meryl in MGS1 which changed the fucking ending to the game.
>Parasites are a completely unnecessary plot device and the 1980s equivalent to MGS4's nanomachines. It showcases Kojima weakness as a writer by relying on that same tired plot-device crutch to explain the "mystical" element of the series, such as the Cobra unit, when it's complete unnecessary.

>MGSV only has one proper boss fight being Sahelanthropus. The Skulls "fights" are more akin to encounters and aren't proper boss fights at all.
>The open world was completely fucking unnecessary and likely bloated the budget and wasted development resources that could've been better spent elsewhere. There's no incentive to stay in the open world and explore being it's fucking empty and you just select you mission from the helicopter menu and drop off at a designated point. The game would've been FAR better as a series of open, GZ style levels presented in a linear order.
>Speaking of the level design, the game suffers from a complete lack of interior levels. Almost everything is an outdoor camp, you never infiltrate a proper indoor facility, which were always some of the best stealth sections in the entire series. Everything feel samey as fuck after playing for bit.
>Motherbase is fucking empty and has nothing to do on it.
>Nobody in the game receives any sort of character development or has an arc besides Huey. Ocelot, who does fucking nothing in the game, might as well be a completely different character. Kaz is just bitter. Quiet's story is shit. And Eli's story is outright unfinished and never has any good interactions with Big Boss.
>>
>>382255897
MGSV starts recycling content almost immediately. All you do is attack really small outposts to capture/kill a nameless soldier. You will do this for like 90% of your time. There's almost no variety. It's the same mission on repeat. But I suppose if you're desperate you can say that slightly different houses isn't recycling.

>>382256239
>>382256130
>>382256327

That means you have to either
A) Use a travel buddy which means you can't use what buddy you want
B) Go capture a vehicle
As opposed to the non-padding answer of simply starting close to the gameplay. But if you want to defend padding that doesn't enhance the game in any way and only wastes your time since the game is unfinished go ahead.

>>382256284
That can't be right because GZ, a tech demo, has way better level design than V. V is just a few houses spread among a dirt road.

>The Big Medic twist has absolutely zero fucking build up and comes out of fucking nowhere. Big Boss never appears in the game proper to properly set him up as an antagonist, and Big Medic is never explored as a character at all. The closet thing to build up is the optional Paz hallucination side story, which is honestly quite good. The hallucination/misremembrance of Big Medic should've been an theme in the actual plot leading up to the big twist. But it's not and the only thing that even hints at this motif is contained to this optional side thing 90% of players didn't do.
>The themes of "Race" and "Revenge" aren't properly explored at all. "Race" is never a factor in the story at all and the only Revenge in the game is Skullface's edgy revenge against the world and Kaz's angst after MSF was destroyed.
>MGSV was built up as the "downfall" of Big Boss, where he was supposed to become the war mongering shitain we know him as in MG2. Instead, Big Medic is a fucking saint who saves children and never does anything close to evil and Big Boss himself never appear in the story to set himself up as an antagonist either. The lackluster story and themes of the game don't make up for the misdirection "ruse" like MGS2 brilliantly did.

I could go on, but MGSV is a fucking garbage game and anyone who defends it is a fucking faggot who has no idea what they're talking about and likely hasn't played the rest of the series.

Not only that he and Big Boss are supposed to be enemies. They were supposed to have a war yet in TPP Zero is the nicest character of the series, he rescues Big Boss from the helicopter crash, nurses him back to health and is even kind enough to make a fake body double to distract his enemies.

TPP is VR simulation, Zero is probably orchestrating it, has Big Boss put into the simulation after capturing him at Camp Omega. GZ might even be VR simulation. Zero might be the one who attacked MSF. Zero has the narrative of the simulation insinuate Skullface destroyed MSF as a way to manipulate Big Boss into taking Skullface out for him. When Big Boss realizes what Zero has done to him it'll spark their war.

Can you faggots read? I wouldn't care if the game went a different direction than what I was expecting at all if story and themes were good. It's exactly what happened with MGS2 and that game is fantastic.

The problem with MGSV is that its story and themes are complete shit and didn't justify it's ruse.

Dude, it's established in MGS4 and Peace Walker that Zero NEVER hated Big Boss, and he desperately wanted him back on his side. He saw BB as an irreplaceable friend. The ""war"" was entirely one-sided on Big Boss' end.

Stop getting mad your headcanon wasn't reflected within the story.

He was desperate to get Big Boss back on his side and used Paz as a last ditch attempt. But he gave her orders to assassinate Big Boss if he refused to join him. Doesn't exactly sound like something a "friend" would do. "Join me or die."

>He saw BB as an irreplaceable friend.
This was after killing Big Boss. That's why Zero places Big Boss into the nanomachine coma. That's what vengeance does. After dedicating so much energy and effort towards hatred, when you finally kill that person you're left with an empty hole. After Zero succeeds in killing Big Boss he's left wondering what did any of this accomplish and reminiscences on the fact they were once friends.

It is specifically said Zero himself had Big Boss and Gray Fox's bodies recovered from Zanzibarland. Yet Zero is apparently in his coma before the events of TPP.

You're letting TPP, a game that completely contradicts the previously established narrative without explanation warp your perception of the information displayed in 4.

That's fine, I like the explanation the MGSV Secret Tapes gave to his character.

The problem is that he never fucking appears in the game at all or has an active role in the fucking story. This entire explanation is contained exclusively to tapes you unlock after beating the game, it's a throwaway. It's a shit way to present the story when they should've been cutscenes implemented in the actual game.

The retconning is done with explanation and doesn't contradict a previously established narrative without explanations that make sense. Making the MGS3 codec team The Patriots comes out of nowhere but it's a reveal that fits into the Metal Gear canon. We know nothing about what happened to the codec team post-MGS3. They never once cemented the fact Zero retired after Operation Snake Eater to the desolate England countryside so he could marathon James Bond movies till the day he dies. We knew nothing about the codec team post-MGS3, MGS4 was just revealing what came of them afterwards.

MGS4 flat out explains Zero and Big Boss fucking hated each other and spent their better years trying to murder each other, which Zero eventually succeeded at, yet in TPP they're best of friends. And now Zero is in his coma before he's supposed to carry out actions which have huge catastrophic repercussions of the Metal Gear story.

>>382258258
>That's fine, I like the explanation the MGSV Secret Tapes gave to his character.
But they don't make sense. They contradict everything previously established. 4 already explained he never intended the AI to evolve into a war mongering force. What it did establish was that he became a psychotic maniac when elevating his Patriot organisation through the ranks of the world, unethical methods such as extortion and blackmail. He didn't set up the Patriot AI until after he killed Big Boss, with no intentions of it becoming a war mongering force.

kojima doesn't say he has no emotion. he says he is "soulless," and there might be something lost in translation there, especially considering the vagueness and broadness of the word "soul." But he does say that he does not have a desire to pass on genes, which is not the same as being emotionless.

What's most annoying to me is that a lot of brainlets completely missed the actual story of the game told in each story arc. All the story arcs are mixed together, so brainlets were just too stupid to connect the dots. They didn't understand that there was a child soldier arc that justified the use of child soldiers in MG2. The didn't understand that Skullface orchestrated the oil spill that killed the village in order to place children immune to the virus in that village, including Liquid. Brainlets didn't get that it was all connected, for them each mission was just a random infiltration. They didn't even understand the story about the oppression of the Mbele people by the Buta and didn't get the drama of the Mbele Squad platoon leader who never wanted his child soldiers to be slaves to Buta. It's all very sad really. People are just too stupid for this game.

That absolute horseshit. There's like 2 missions involving child soldiers in the entire game, the Eli one and the rescue mission. Big Medic fucking saves the child soldiers, rehabilitates them, and the people forcing them to become soldiers in the first place are clearly portrayed as villains. It doesn't tie into Big Boss using child soldiers in MG2 at all.

Well everyone is different. Of course those feelings won't be universal, but it seems to me like the vast majority of players were disappointed in some way, shape or form. Spite may be too harsh a word. It's more along the lines of letting a child order a club soda or put his hand on the stove without warning him. Letting him learn through experience rather than simply preaching to him. Kojima wants players to come to the conclusion themselves that they're better off being themselves than trying to live through Big Boss.

As I said, the whole game is built around anti-climaxes. It's not just the ultimate reveal that disappoints in this game. And when you view all these disappointments together, it's hard to view them as coincidental and not intentional. Someone was complaining in this very thread about how disappointing the Man on Fire and his reveal as Volgin is. There's never a proper showdown, and when he's finally revealed as Volgin, he just vanishes. Ocelot hardly does anything throughout the entire game. Skullface has perhaps one of the most anti-climactic deaths in video game history, simply being crushed beneath the wreckage of a Metal Gear with a third of the game still left. The tank that Huey spends half the game building isn't actually usable, even though it's given multiple scenes dedicated to its construction. Huey gets off with an incredibly light sentence. Zero only ever shows up in the game through a pre-recorded audio tape. Part of me even wonders if they purposely elected to cut Mission 51 entirely when they could have possibly rushed it out in a near-finished state in order to heighten these accumulating feelings of disappointment the player experiences. That's pure unfounded speculation on my part though.

It just seems to me that virtually every plotline in the game falls flat on its face and blueballs the player, to the point that it's hard to believe it's complete coincidence and not designed.

Some of it was clearly intentional storytelling (Skullface's demise, Volgin's last encounter with "Big Boss") but other parts I think are just clumsy things they couldn't get around. Huey, for example, needed something to do on MB regardless of whether or not Battle Gear was implemented into the game, so that plotline stayed. I don't think that was the result of deliberation so much as just the nuances of game development. Same goes for the Kingdom of the Flies mission, or even Ocelot who exists for the player's benefit and not much else.

>>382263861
I think it's safe to say that what we received was not the original direction Kojima had planned for the game. It seems that at some point he realized he wasn't going to be able to create the game he wanted to, and that the final product was doomed to end up lackluster and disappointing, failing to reach the lofty aspirations that had been set forth for it and were now expected of it. But rather than try to avert the inevitable as best he could, he decided to incorporate those feelings of frustration and disappointment into the game's narrative.

I think the thing I hated most about MGSV is just how much it feels empty. Like there was no heart and soul into the game. The humor is gone. No more cool/unique easter eggs. Snake is a silent protag. Everyone is so god damn dead serious. There's only a few times where you actually feel like you are playing a MGS game(mainly everything that has anything to do with Huey) and then all the other times it feel like some weird series that trying to be MGS but not.

There were probably some alterations, but Venom Snake was a clear part of the game plan all the way back in 2012, and things like Skullface's underwhelming death and Volgin play completely into the idea of revenge's emptiness -- and revenge is also something we knew the game would touch on from very early on.

Skullface was one of Zero's underlings and the leader of XOF, FOX's super-duper-secret counterpart. He wanted to destroy English as a way of ensuring the preservation of distinct countries and cultures and wanted to give everyone nukes (under his own control, of course) for the same reason.
>What was the point of creating the phantom snake?
Venom served as a distraction and figurehead while the real Big Boss could get started on Outer Heaven unperturbed. There's a lot of thematic significance to this too, but that's the gist of it.
>phantom snake did anything but faff about and didn't really accomplish anything important at all
Well, he built up Diamond Dogs which is presumably consolidated into Big Boss's Outer Heaven. To what extent/in what ways he helped Big Boss with Outer Heaven is pretty ambiguous, but it's safe to say he helped with its operation given that he died for Big Boss there.

Big Boss.

There were a lot of rumors before release that one of the themes the game would deal with was mental illness. The whole Paz thing heavily implicates this. There's also a lot of hints that point at Skullface being another split personality of Big Boss.

Of course, none of this came to fruition, and only bits and pieces are left of it in the game.
