Was it really that disappointing?

No, it's the best stealth game ever made. You don't actually take nostalgiafags seriously, do you?
>>389711729
Yeah. The story was lame as hell and obviously unfinished, despite Kobingo saying otherwise. The 'twist' ending sucked too.
Gameplay was great though
Yes.
It's okay, it's serviceable, it's 7/10, but we expect more from Kojima and Metal Gear.

Chapter 2 was, all of those repeat missions sucked, and they should have tied up the eli/third boy storyline at the very least. also we should have had a boss fight against the a man on fire. the game started out good but ended poorly. I still like it but I can see how someone who payed full price would be upset.

There's only about 4 good missions that make use of the mechanics well. The rest is cheap easy stealth.
It's way more mature than the 'lol so random' clusterfuck fanservice fest that was mgs4. A more somber, grounded MGS and I like it for that. I found Paz' moments quite touching.

Mgs is absurd and silly it's the humor and self awareness that is its saving grace.
>>389712263
I think a problem with MGS as a series is that it is hard to find a balance between the silly stuff and the serious stuff.

It was goddamn amazing right up until you realize just how much is missing.
When suddenly its over, and then we find out there was an entire arc and another map cut out... Yeah. That was pretty damn shitty.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one that was confused when I got so far and still couldn't use my walker tank. Huey finishes it, send it on missions, waiting to get to hop into the controls... nope, never happens.
It's a fucking amazing game. The story was really cool and DAT GAMEPLAY
the only downsides are the boss battles. Only two of them are the shit.

Boss fights were almost nonexistent, too many missions weren't interesting or fun, levels/maps felt empty, open, and don't compliment stealthy approaches anywhere near as good as Camp Omega. Helicopter scenes(mission prologues/coming to and from motherbase) and Real time weapon r&d timer can fuck right off.
