Less birds and badgers attacking me out of nowhere for sure.
I was talking about the infiltration aspect by the way. The thing that matters.

That problem doesn't exist for me, because good voice acting always made anime better and it also makes this better.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Huey's facial animations are great in the torture scenes too. Brilliant facial capture going on.

I have also felt, from GZ onwards, that Sutherland doesn't even sound like he's on the same continent as the rest of the voice cast. Obviously they didn't all record together, but the audio mix has Venom often sounding like he's not... there. I can never put my finger on why it is though.

The voice acting in this game isn't good, outside of Horan, Atkin Downes, and Zero.

Im just amazed they didn't use the open world design to do better versions of similar stuff from past games.
Liquid Jeep scene
Eva's two motorcycle chase scenes(imagining a pre Sahelanthropis fight while being driven on a bike.)
The Drebin Stryker scene from 4.
Would have been so much better with an open world design like V.

While I don't think the whole game is as wholly consistent as those games, I would say Mission 43 easily matches that sort of intensity, while also making it playable.

The voice actor for skullface didnt sit right with me. It sounded like Phil Lamarr doing a bad guy voice in Futurama.

Maybe the parasites got the better of Skull Face but he was great in GZ and the TPP tapes.
In TPP as a villain though, he was terrible. Ofcourse he had the best scene and line in the game, but for the wrong reasons.
V still had better boss fights. Quiet, The sniper skulls and Sahelanthropus were better than any boss in PW.

I think in terms of control, how you can interact with enemies and the options at your disposal it's easily the best. I think the level design is pretty weak in a lot of Phantom Pain though and never really brings out the full potential of the system.

The same people who deride MGS for it's pseudo science and philosophy definitely take issue with any anime that tries to take itself seriously, as being equally pretentious, and consider it ridiculous, goofy and silly just by virtue of it's medium being a "cartoon" - in fact, that's why so many people loathe anime, no matter what srs biz classic you recommend.
Pick whatever anime you want then. Akira. Tetsuooooooooooooooo = Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. There's no creative virtue in devolving Akira to be full-on Dragon Ball Z just because it has a couple nuclear-style explosions in it and a guy that flies with "powers"
Nobody sane is going to ask for the voice of Scooby Doo in Metal Gear just to facilitate an outlandish lack of seriousness that you guys think is necessary to accentuate the moments of levity and self-aware gameification. Should Code Talker sound more like Homer Simpson all the time just because there's an amusing set of tapes about burgers?
Everything sounds excellent to me and Zero definitely is not even close to a highlight for me, out of all the ones you could have picked.

Something like this is the all the evidence I need that I differ so drastically from the typical MGS fan.
Holy hell, that cutscene is still awful. Christ, I'm surprised I was able to stomach that the first (and only) time I played PW.

I said this yesterday and I think this is actually the reason. When they blow it off it doesn't seem he looks any different, so its not the parasites or something. Or he loves Zorro.

I'm glad I could be reminded today that nothing will ever be as bad as the "it's thinking with its heart" line.

I don't see how anyone can understand what that character was doing half the time. Let alone who was controlling? Him. I'm still super confused as to who he was trying to kill at the hospital. At first I thought he was there to kill Snake, then It looked like he was protecting Snake from the soldiers.
How was he being controlled by Venom, or Eli? I can see SkullFace using him but controlling no.

lol, I just tried it again with one of the armored personnel vehicles that have an autocannon, that was even easier. No overheat, takes out parts fast, you can even get rid of the metallic archaea mist quick while sitting in it because of how much damage it does.

That's miller and wikipedia ocelot though.

Its explained, he uses the rage of others.
It also proved to be SF's demise. Liquid was the true monster. The plothole here though is that Miller has more hate than all of them combined.

I was thinking the same thing. But then I also hoped that frank and naomi might be in this game, although he found her in Rhodesia.

There's something to be said for free roaming approach to those situations. What "open world" means in this context is semantics anyway. Both maps are beautiful and feel more realistic and tangible compared to most other games.
I'd rather take some breathing space between side ops, listening to tapes, before tackling the next objective. The option to pick them out from a menu is presented as well.

He's influenced by the emotions of others due to his psychic powers, and thus he basically works for them as long as he is influenced by them. Volgin's anger compelled him to the hospital, but later he is influenced by Snake's emotions and potential fears and protects him. Then he works for Skullface due to Skullface's thirst for revenge influencing him.
The stronger emotion, though, is Eli's hatred, which is the final thing that influences him and he stays on Eli's side until the end of the story.
I'm gonna try this. He's the last mission I need to finish in this game.

Freakin' Ocelot fills his role and then some.

He's basically a blank slate, a tool for whoever has the most "rage" or whatever. They're effectively borrowing his powers.
In the hospital, it's Volgin using Mantis (note the flaming sleeves) for most of the time. When the whale wastes the chopper, that's Venom. I guess he was super pissed just right then.

How would they have mentioned him? Even if he was in it? Don't get me wrong, I don't think missing an opportunity to shoehorn in yet another established character for the sake of "connecting" things again would be a real loss, but to play devil's advocate for a second... you could also ask why wasn't "Psycho Mantis" mentioned in MGSV? Because even though he was clearly in the game, it was a codename he received at FOXHOUND like "Liquid" being Eli as obvious as it is wasn't explicitly stated until the end credits timeline.
"Drebin 893" is a codename the character wouldn't have even been assigned when he was a child soldier but when he was recruited by the Patriots, so hey... if you really wanted you could maybe make it your headcanon that it was one of the nameless African kids before he could recruited by Cipher, I guess? I mean, nothing was mentioned in the timeline stating as such (same for the Third Child being Mantis) but the Sigint = Darpa theory floated around for a while before it was made canon in 4 so who knows.

Holy shit.
very cool details. I hadn't notice those changes before.
Holy shit.
I didn't even notice those small details.
Holy crap, [Full Stealth] Pitch Dark just bugged out good. I don't know if it was becase I was annoyed by Miller keep blabbing shit while I tried to listen to the tapes about the infection. Anyways, as I was walking over the swamp between the abandoned village and the first one and suddenly the cutscene where Venom shuts down the pump starts and suddenly I am standing in the control room. I retained everything from before, the sidegoal I aquired (saving the child soldiers) and the ammo stand of my tranq sniper. I could just play normally further until I blew up the tank with C4 after I got out of the facility I was back in some part random part of the facility after the explosion cutscene plays. Anyone got that bug or any kind of that?
