I finished chapter 2 in the very early hours of this morning. Don't know how i feel about the game for the most part, mostly disappointed, honestly.

I changed my expectations regarding the story after like 10 hours and just enjoyed the best stealth game ever made. I was okay with the ending, but you know I won't discuss anything here.

I will say just one thing. The game just wasn't that what I imagined it to be, storywise.

Anyone else prefer the base building in Peace Walker? MGSV is obviously a better game but base building was my favourite part of Peace Walker but it feels more like a distraction here. I'd rather use the tons of methods at my disposal to complete a mission but all I end up doing is trying to fulton everyone. I don't want to miss out on weapon and item upgrades but fultoning anyone with a A+ and above gets boring.

I thought MotherBase really felt like this huge deal in Peace Walker, GZ it gets destroyed and we know after V the new MB is irrelevant as the actual Outer Heaven soon comes into play.
V really needed more to do around MB, PW gave us a dang major boss fight there at least.
Also just look at MB's design in PW compared to V's lifeless disconnected base.

Combat deployments are also a pathetic replacement for the Outer Ops.
Why even have captured vehicles or Battle Gear if its a 1 off mission thing now?

I wrote out a post for the now closed Kojima thread and felt the need to post here because holy shit its blown my mind that Kojima helmed the MG franchise for 28 years. 28 fucking years. Not only that it still manages to be fresh, relevant, and somehow continually impress the majority. Thats the mark of a championship team and maybe a true artist. We can only only dream to have something that lasting, influential, and marking in a respective industry.

Well put. And I agree that Outer Ops is a whole lot better than combat deployments.

I can understand being disappointed in the game. Entertainment being subjective, and all -- but calling Kojima a hack took it a bit too far for me. We don't know all the details behind everything that happened, how much the team may or may not have struggled getting FOXEngine made, running on last gen, drama behind the scenes, ect.

Sure, Kojima is going to be the one directly and indirectly responsible for the final state of the game, content cuts and all, but you can't say he didn't deliver a compelling product in the end even if that product wasn't something you liked. The scores, both critical and consumer, positive and negative, back that up.

I love the game, the gameplay mainly but I'm still highly disappointed that the return to Camp Omega, Episode 51, and various other things were cut.

Hey guys! If I wanted to play all the games, from the original Metal Gear through Phantom Pain, is there a way to do that on PC or one console?

You didn't really have any control over Mother Base in Peace Walker. It just sort of exists there in the background without any input from the player. I wasn't very heartbroken when it was destroyed in GZ. I was just like "Okay. Am I supposed to feel something for the loss of a home I barely got to interact with at all?"

At least in V, I can walk around and act like a boss. A bad bad boss that punches everyone, then kicks them awake just to do it again. >:D

I find walking around it adds nothing to the game since it's so boring. In fact, I hate that you're consistently called back there so it has more of a negative effect on the game in my opinion.

I thought I might ask this in here, A) because this thread is full of cool people, and B) because the regular OT is chock full of spoilers and I'm only up to mission 13.

What are some good tips for filling the Animal Conservation platform? I'm curious as to what approaches people have used, because I've been neglecting it and never seem to be able to find the time to do it properly.

Also this is really important if you're trying to capture all the animals, bring the Animal Capture Cage with you all the time. Place it down in random spots as you go around doing stuff. This will help you fill out a lot of the animal list and save you trouble later on of having to hunt down specific animals. Of course this doesn't really matter if you don't care about the achievement for finding all animals.

Im sad today. The cracks on this game are deep.

I don't think the great gameplay this game has can make up for what a mess the story is. Not to mention the narrative.

Oh boy....

Why did Big Boss send Solid Snake to Outer Heaven in the original Metal Gear?

Has this been covered outside of Phantom Pain and I just missed it?

Or is it covered in Phantom Pain? I'm still early on in it so if it's covered please don't tell me why.

Hahahaha. I remember how collectively let down everyone was. We were all expecting a Steam port of the Legacy collection, but then the Metal Gear Collection just ended up being a ridiculously stupid fashion show.

What's a spoiler-free version of what this ingsoc.org stuff is? <_<

Wasn't that URL proven to be non-legit ages ago?

It's a bunch of conspiracy theory stuff that says in five hours there will be a massive update to the game that adds in a ton of new content including the missing mission.
