It's been two years now. What is your honest opinion of V?

>>390062329
Kojima failed us.

Not as bad as mg survive

Unremarkable, way too easy, shit level design, sparse dialogue, a source of fun when messing around.

>>390062329
The definition of all hype and no substance.

he did what he intended to do. leave the world with phantom pain

I'm still disappointed, not even a story fag. I expected more out of an open world MGS gameplay wise. The whole game should have been subsistence missions and indoor stealth should have been improved through patches.

Played it for around 80-90 hours and had fun with in every second. Wasn't the story I was expecting and was somewhat disappointed with it, but it was still one of the most fun games I've played. I can hardly sit down and play video games anymore because I'm not as interested in them since there more stuff going on in my life at the moment, however, with this game I was actually able to sit down and have fun again. I can understand others perhaps not liking I suppose or being really really disappointed with it, but I personally really enjoyed the game.

Not a MGS game. 40/60 cut ene gameplay or gtfo

The worst in the series.

>>390063225
That's 4 and no amount of memes can save that trash game.

>>390063435
V is even worse than 4.

>>390063478
Cutscenes don't make a good game. V is repetitive as fuck but at least for 16 hours it's miles ahead of anything 4 offers in its entirety.

>>390062989
>The whole game should have been subsistence missions
Wanna know how I know you're a console pleb?

>>390062329
Brace yourself for MGS 2/4 kino fags complaining that there aren't enough movies.

>>390063837
>Cutscenes don't make a good game
No, good design and gameplay makes good games. 4 might have been more of a movie than a game, but the game portions still blow anything in V out of the water.

>>390063912
Because I'm better than you?

>>390063992
I don't know what's more hilarious, that you wrote this stupid shit or that you probably actually believe it.

>>390062329
Well, at least the soundtrack is pretty good.

>>390063980
The level design is just as bad as anything found in V if not worse at times and V's controls are superior. Plus there's only like two real levels in 4 while the rest of the game railroads you to the end.

>>390063435

4 was great.

What's there is good, but it feels like it's only 20% finished, which is bad. Overall it's a mild 3 out of 10.

>>390062329

Piece of shit.

>>390062329
As a MGS game not very good, but as a game a solid 10. Loved going in to missions in a heli and calling one to pick up. Restricted myself to using only horse and took off all helpers like tagging, also no snipers. Great gameplay, bravo.

>>390062329
I like it quite a lot. I know /v/ hates it but I honestly don't give a shit.

>>390062329
Overly shit on.

Incredibly fun, allows the player multiple ways to tackle any situation and your choices keep growing throughout the game.

Genuinely believe it'd be regarded as a top tier MGS if it's landing stuck the ending.

It's very hard to say it's a bad game when the most common complaint seems to be that it just kind of ends and that the game becomes never-ending after Chapter 1.

I really love it and I hope people eventually judge it on what it is, instead of what they wanted it to be and expected it to be from the trailers.

The story ended with 4. I never thought there would be a real 5 so the game was just a victory lap to me and I enjoyed every second. I love that there are strands that connect to every game in the series and help everything gel together in a way that makes more sense. Without being very overt about it too like MGS4 was. There's even an explanation for why Dr. Clark is called a man in MGS1 despite being Para-Medic.

It wasn't the over the top bang people wanted the series to end on, it was more like an iron that smoothed out the wrinkles of the series and makes the whole thing work as a perfect circle.

>>390064205
Nah, the open world aspect of V completely neuters what makes a MGS game good in the first place. Well-designed linear levels are the bread and butter of good MGS gameplay, and 4 has more of it than V.

>>390064223
Did we play the same game The only part I somewhat liked was the 2nd act and that shit lasted ~1 hour. Act 3-5 are probably among the worst parts I've ever played in a game.

>>390065197
>well designed linear levels
>MGS

I had a lot of fun with it, open world was a great thing, no doubt.
Animations and gameplay in general were flawless to me
I enjoyed constructing mother base and wondering around the map
Story was a bit boring but every mission was different and fun

So good

Liked it but I was disappointed nonetheless. It could have been better.

>>390065321
Levels is the wrong word. More like areas.

Just bought a new FOB

Its actually really fun invading FOBs and protecting yours. I build nukes so the higher people come to steal them, then I do the retaliation infiltrations to steal their S++ guards

>>390065463
I don't know, man. I feel like only 3, GZ and V(talking about the big bases, not the desert/savannah connecting them) had good design.

I like having multiple options to approach things, different routes and complete freedom over movement and items/weapons used. Only these games had bases/ areas to infiltrate that somewhat accomodate what I like.

1 and 2 were corridors and you were always kinda forced to do exactly what the devs wanted. PW was dumbed down and the AI was a complete joke. 4 barely had any areas worth a shit.

4 is the second best in the series. The storytelling and graphics were utterly groundbreaking for its time. Gameplay had some interesting quirks but overall lacked a little, but was way better than 3.

I have a lot of fun with the stealth gameplay. But Chaos Theory is still number 1 stealth game.

Also, Metal Gear story is garbage. Hideo is overrated.

A game with tight, well designed mechanics in a sloppy, poorly designed world.

>wow, I can climb these cracks in walls
>maybe 5 cracks in walls throughout the entire game
>wow, the sneaking mechanics are great
>take out 4 guards at an outpost over and over and over


Ground Zeroes was actually a better game than TPP simply because the Cuban base is a well designed " level " and TPP has none of that in it. It would have been a much better game is given a smaller hub area that connected to 10ish areas of similar scope and design philosophy to the base in GZ.

>>390062329
95% ludo, 5% kino

>>390068692
Yeah. Cracks in the walls. How cute they were with this fascinating mechanic.

Anyway. I was honestly hoping there was going to be a 3rd map that was essentially a giant facility, concrete, metal, steel. Maybe another, "Shadow Moses", if you will. The game lacked any kind of infiltration into an enemy facility, very disappointing.

>Best gameplay in the MGS series
>Worst story in the MGS series
The game should have been a non-numbered title like Peace Walker instead of a main entry, it widens the gap between Peace Walker and Metal Gear 1 instead of closing it like fans were more or less promised.

>>390068692
>wow, I can climb these cracks in walls
I didn't even know about this mechanic at all baka

>>390070194
I really should never have even been a MGS title. It's a good game, but a terrible MGS game.

So Quiet was half-naked because being exposed to the parasites made with The End that saved her life turned her into a plant and she needs the sun and water and clothes are a problem, but the skulls are a unit of parasite plants with the same DNA but they wear heavy armor?

In the middle of my first replay and it's not bad t b h. The gameplay is great and I get to skip all those damn cassette tapes since I know the plot. Still a little butthurt about the game being unfinished but whatever, it's fun.

>>390062329
if they got hayter and not kiefer, boss would actually have dialogue

getting big voice actors fucked them out of story budgeting, with cheaper ones they could do MUCH more story missions instead of repeats

but bar repeats the gameplay was fucking superb, just wish there was an incentive to be evil

After mods and unnoficial fixes, its enough to grab once in a while and do some pseudo sneaking.
But this isn't a proper metal gear game.

David Hayter has been fucking shit in every game after MGS2 and he was long overdue to be replaced. Kojima even tossed the idea around as early as MGS3 but he never cared enough about the dub to force him out. MGSV's mocap and original recordings were done by the English cast, so he was more involved with the voice direction and he knew David Hayter's meme voice wasn't going to cut it. Dude can hardly speak English but he knows bad acting when he hears it.

Venom being silent was a stylistic choice, it had nothing to do Kiefer being too expensive. Even David Hayter admits Kiefer may have been cheaper, because he took a flat fee while Hayter got paid per session according to voice actor guild rules, and ended up making an obscene amount of money; he made something like $1.2 million for MGS4. Even Kiefer Sutherland, a B-list TV star actor, would be worth that.

>>390076416
The third map was just going to be that island from the missing Chapter 3 with Eli.
Also, the game would've been shit no matter what, and I feel like Kojima overspending on actors and pointless shit (like fucking battle gear) was all just to get himself fired from Konami while looking like the good guy

>>390072176

>>390062329
I like the base building, I just wish there was more to do with it all.

>>390077156
base building was cut down immensely due to the ps3/360 versions. Each platform is its own area that has to be loaded in, which is why they're all so goddamn far apart.

I hope that 4% of the overall sales was worth it, Konami!

>>390077309
It was actually being developed for the ps3/360 first before the ps4/xbone were even a thing

>Venom was the guy who Snake killed in MG1
Was this retcon justified?

>>390079330
If you think the purpose of Venom was to explain how Big Boss survived MG1, you missed the point entirely.

>>390079330
It was so Kojima could make Big Boss look better, as MG1 Big Boss was a generic villain who talked shit for a few seconds and then attacked you

>ywn infiltrate outer heaven as snake after experiencing the ending

Good gameplay with levels/bases that can't keep up. Cameras, traps, all the cool FOB stuff should have been in the game much earlier.

A 4/10 when Ground Zeroes made me expect 10/10. Story, world design, mission variety, level design all were lackluster.

>>390062329
Not the game we hoped for but a fine game none the less

>>390062329
I really liked it. There are definitely parts that drag, and the reuse of certain parts of the game isn't that great, but overall it was really solid in my book.

No other game from now until the end of time will ever be a bigger example of "what could have been"
