You are not alone. It was the most i have been disappointed in a long long time.
yeah, same here, as a long time MGS fan I couldnt imagine at any point in the last 3 or so years that I would feel this way about a new MGS game.
That bad? What's causing you hang ups?
I'm still on the fence about buying it, but I've been reading the spoilers thread, so don't worry about that.
MGS games have always felt unique and special. they were an event when one came out. this one feels like any generic open world ops game. Not a whole lot different than say a Far Cry. and if you want to have fun with new gear, you have to micro-manage mother base before you can even think about getting any of the cool gadgets that make it FEEL like metal gear. In the previews I thought that Motherbase was supposed to be a diversion for those that wanted to do it. but after playing it for about 8 or so hours, its seems like a requirement. Mission structure, at least so far is a very basic, go here, get that blow up that. done. On par with vanilla destiny story mission. go here, shoot that, dinklebot open door, kill dudes the end. And the biggest and most glaring flaw with the game. the story, or lack there of. I know people complain about Destiny having no story. But this is METAL GEAR. it is the most important aspect of it. And so far, with the exception of the prologue, I have seen none of it. Its really sad. There is more but I dont want to get into spoilers
I dont want it to sound like I hate this game because I don't. I might have had my expectations set to high, but if high means MGS standards than this fell below the bar. I aint gonna give up on it yet.
