How exactly does MGSV look silly compared to previous main MGS titles? Looks about on par to me. Is it the shrapnel / horn?

It was mostly the flying sheeps into your base, and then proceeded to even fly containers in with just the help of the balloon. Then there was the snake getting shot out of his cardboard box in an explosion like manner and him and the horse pooping all around. Of course hard to judge it already, but it seemed to have a lot more silly things all around than previous games in just the small demos we've seen, and I would certainly say although something like MGS4 and MGS1 were also silly at times, they were also very serious and not all that jokey, with MGS4 too serious for my taste although I also enjoyed it a lot.

The ending that we already know should make the journey in MGSV intriguing as fuck.

What exactly happened to turn Big Boss into the antagonist? That's maybe been explained elsewhere but if it has I'm ignorant to it, so it'll be great

I'd say getting repeatedly fucked in MGS3 and PW by everyone is enough of an excuse.

That's it.

It's like every new slice of gameplay is centred around an entirely fucking ludicrous mechanic or gimmick.

And then the story is totally pointless and of little consequence.

And then there's that stupid cigar time travelling device.

It's all just overly ridiculous. None of the games in the franchise have as overtly revelled in ludicrous stupidity like MGSV has. Even the fucking dog is stupid.

Previous games had the weird nonsense embedded within a serious and intriguing chassis. This has none of that. I just see Jack Bauer shouting "Kaz!", a character that plays no part in any of the other main games.
 
I'm going to bet that Big Boss is just a split personality of Liquid.

That proves how little I care about the story

MGSV also will feature Muppet Babies versions of all the MGS1 FOXHOUND crew.

if you think Gaal would abandon RVP like that you are wrong. RVP and his one half of football is here as long as Gaal as. He doesn't have the stones to do that to him. We are screwed.
Gaal the flipping idiot subbed RVP off against Argentina when he was one of our best penalty takers. Gaal doesn't care about RVP that much.

Yeah, I guess I see your point, but eh, I consider things like that to be an integral part of the MGS experience. Even in the more serious MGSes you had a fair share of silly / funny stuff in between the 'serious' (and over the top) story-related gameplay and cutscenes. I'm thinking about stuff like soldiers getting distracted by porn/fashion magazines, slipping on pigeon shit, etc. I don't think slightly overindulging with this stuff will make the game feel sillier than previous titles. It'll really come down to how batshit crazy Kojima goes with the story and characters. So far I haven't seen anything particularly :rollseyes: worthy, relative to what MGS is.

Totally disagree with Arnie on this one.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Juventus and AC Milan have made their move to sign Tottenham midfielder Paulinho.

The Brazil international signed for £17m from Corinthians in 2013 but has failed to hold down a place under Mauricio Pochettino.

Juventus are favourites to take him from White Hart Lane as they will offer to buy while Milan can only offer a loan.

I want to believe, but surely Allegri isn't that stupid.

Mate, be on the ps4 in around 12 hours. I'll play you then.

LOL

I was writing that post then left midway and still submitted it somehow.

Anyway, sounds like a plan m8. I should be having an early night so it's doable.

Here's the countdown:

I'll be online on the PS4 when it hits zero :p

MGS5 story I don't mind but I'm really worried about the gameplay design, seems like a bunch of cool shit thrown together completely unfocused and the handholding babby mode seems off the charts (Iknow you can turn off a bunch of stuff but the game is designed around them anyways). I completely dispise the support/base/fulton/helicopter crap, I just wanted a nice adventure where Big Boss gets tossed into the middle of nowhere alone and short on supplies.

Ronaldo and Messi are absolute boys

The entire rivalry was a lie
You seen that video of Ronaldo introducing his kid to Messi? :3 :3 :3

I don't care where this current MGS goes, as long as it leads us to a definitive remake of the NES Metal Gear. Now that would be something if he's able to tie all of this shit together into one big 30+ year narrative.

Hahaha. You don't have to if you somehow you can't, of course. Just got the timer to make sure we were sync'd. Screw timezones.

it'll probably come either in MGSV itself or after packed in with a MG2 remake. Kojima has the stage all set to finish the series once and for all while making it impossible for anyone to take in the reins.

Wonder which striker we would go for if RVP/ Falcao left.

Don't want Cavani.

Doumbia looked good but not sure if he could do it in the prem.

Harry Kane it is then :p

Lacazette

Although I think he's better suited for a different team style. He's going to cost a billion dollars after the season he's having, but United are no strangers to overpaying right now anyways :p

None. Rooney as the lone striker with Wilson as cover. Actually improve the midfield and team balance for once. Like that would ever happen. You know how much Levy loves selling to us. Young English striker + Levy tax = at leas 50 million pounds. thats probably a low guess if Andy Carroll sold for 35.

No way, not that long a contract and not those wages.
