PW tapes had plenty of conversations and humour.

At some point, after it's $20 or less, I might give the game a try. It *is* MGS, after all, and I feel like I should at least try it eventually. My dislike for the game's direction is what it is. I understand that not every game will be made with my preferences in mind; in fact, I accept that fewer and fewer of those kinds of games are being made.
It's great that the game is getting such high marks. My disappointment is just what it is. I'm not angry about it. I'm not going to chuck my older MGS games out the window in disgust because Kojima didn't make the game I wanted. It's just weird that, after four previous installments-- each of which I bought on their respective launch days-- it's impossible for me to rationalize spending $60 on MGSV because Ground Zeroes set the tone and basically warned me that I won't like the final product.

It's like when people get mad that you're disrespecting the memory of Batman's parents.
22 critics? That's weak. People weren't even trying back then.ummm....
no
GTAIV managed a 98 with something like 90. The Citizen Kane of video games.
Any spoilers?

Now now this was at a time before metacritic existed. And gaming journalism was maybe 10% as big as it is now.

How could anyone turn down big American teeteees.
ehhh...how else would Kojima take the series forward in terms of gameplay?
Loved mgs4 but it was essentially sneaking around very contained maps with very specific pathways. I'd rather have the AI roam around rather than walk back and forth 20 feet for the whole mission.
AI in this game have their own habits, they roam around and aren't stuck in the same position waiting for you to tranquilize them
It isn't directionless. It doesn't just drop you in the middle of nowhere. You have an objective/target and you go in and out of the mission. It is how you tackle the objective. I find that way more fun than just being dropped in a corridor, solving the initial area then moving on to the next. I've already played that game numerous times in other MGS games. That is why I haven't even finished Peacewalker yet because of how repetitive the missions can get. After a while, the level design becomes inconsequential, the AI becomes predictable and the challenge is easily overcome with better weapons.

Nah, they're as much conversations as any previous CODEC calls.

I'd swear... there's so much misinformation regarding the contents of tapes in Peace Walker.

Not surprised at these scores at all. From the moment I played GZ it was obvious this was gonna be a masterpiece. The gameplay-mechanics and level-design are just so much better than most AAA games it's almost laughable. Congrats to Kojima and his team. Can't wait to finally get my hands on this, I even got a few days off for this.

Quiet is so damn hot
You're going to feel shame soon.
Someone says at one point that around 3 min in (I'm paraphrasing here) that if you want to remain spoiler free you should "get the fuck out."
So that answers that.
The way he said it just put me off though lol
That's ours
I should add that this is one of the very few to be written from someone who has completed the game. Our guy Was told he was the first person outside Konami to finish the game!
Edit: he and I talked a lot about it as well:

PC Games (Germany) Review - 88%
"A worthy entry to the Metal Gear franchise that is refreshingly different"
My opinion: I like this direction. I just started playing MGS (finished 2 yesterday) and while the story and characters are great (and batshit insane) and the small confined areas are okay, the length and number of cutscenes can be annoying sometimes. I started playing the series because the gameplay of Ground Zeroes (played it on PS Plus) was so much fun that I wanted to rediscover the series. I'm looking forward to playing MGS5 in the end because I already know that the gameplay will be tons of fun. And the german reviews mention that Phantom Pain is a great sandbox. Exactly what I want. A modern Deus Ex/Thief that rewards your thinking and planning.

Finished the story. 100% with all the side stuff he reckons will take around 80-100 hours

Is the GT review REALLY spoilery ? Story dpoilers ? I want to see it so bad...

I'm guessing Kojima finished it first.
How many hours for the story? Also how quickly did he burn through it.
Like his own pacing was he sneaky or just run in and gun down everything?
Well over 40 hours. He's a Stealth kinda guy, so that was his playstyle

So are we going to get an OT to match MGS4 one?

None of the footage is new and they're vague about the story. The most specific topic they address is the number of areas in the game.
Unless I missed anything else while watching the review, I don't think there were any spoilers.

I tweeted this message to Mr. kojima
"it is unacceptable to be forced to replay the main missions for no reason, is something that can be corrected with a patch?
please answer is a unanimous criticism from reviewers and fans
is a choice imposed by Konami?"

FUCK this
ok, my two cents on this.
i had my own problems with PW and portable ops. i own them both on multiple platforms but have not finished one of them myself. despite several tries, i just couldnt get through them. the mission structure and the base-planning elements were just not for me at the time, so i can fully understand your point of view regarding that. although i think motherbase will certainly not be my main focus in the new game, i'm a lot more open to the whole concept this time around.
your wrote:
how the hell do you come to this conclusion??... i mean, is MGSV different than the other games in the series? yeah,sure... that was obvious for the last couple of years.
yeah, the codec is gone and you can like that or not. i think it worked really well in GZ. despite loving the conversations in older MGSs, they sometimes could be a little much in number, especially in MGS2. no doubt there still will be conversation...and yes, a lot of tapes obviously.
no david hayter(as big boss), silent snake.... sure, cant argue with that. but kojima made it clear, why he made these changes. found my peace with it.
but how can you honestly state, that the game has a weak story and no cutscenes?... i mean, i have not played the game (you neither) , but to think kojima would end his last MGS without filling it up with story is mindblowing to me.
and weren't all the trailers basically edited cutscenes? soo... if they are an indication, what to expect cutscene-wise... i'm not worried.
so, maybe the game is just not for you and thats totally fine. if you wanted a game that felt exactly like 3 or 4...well, this game is not. but saying all these things one week before release and before ever laying hands on the game yourself seems wrong to me.
i have honestly never seen so much complaining in a review thread, where the game gets only 9s and 10s
Half of MGSV is like this:summary of big boss's character arc
"Oh look, he gonna cry again."
He's consistent. Gotta give him that. Emo Snake.

Err.... you mean, that for all other reviews on your site, you haven't completed the games? oO
No, I mean that there are very few reviews for TPP that have finished it. We finish all of our games, and if we don't we make sure we explain why
