I just finished chapter 1.........I don't think I can continue playing V at this point. I'm too drained and too disgusted.
For 3 years, this thing has been on the forefront of my mind and now this.....just feels empty. I had so much confidence that this would be incredible. I really, truly wanted this project to succeed and so much has gone so wrong. In the back of my mind though, I had this reservation that this could be the dark knight rises all over again and unfortunately, my fears all but became a reality.
How does a person that created mgs 2 fuck up this royaly? Is it egotism? Pessimism? Franchise fatigue? Why do creators do this shit? Judging from everyone else's reaction here, I don't think I'll find much joy in continuing, it would just be torture. Jesus, I'm bummed.
I'm genuinely wondering if the pacing and narrative is solely kojima's doing or konami's ( I would very much like to see the executive s of said company be skull fucked to death and their children crucified upside down.)
The only way to make the phantom pain subside from playing this travesty of a game is to nailgun my dick to a termite mound.
