I doubt there's anything in there that tops Meryl marrying Johnny "I shit my pants" Akiba.
He was just there as soon as I jumped out of the helicopter in an early mission and Ocelot (or Miller, can sometimes not hear them apart) commented on the dog puppy even before I noticed it.
Eh so far I would rate it 10/10, too. If I wanted a game with good story I wouldn't play MGS in the first place

Finish and come back to me
People are in for a very nasty surprise if they believe Meryl/Johnny is the lowest this series can go.

But you enjoyed previous Metal Gear right? You must have hated MGS2 and MGS4 with all of the cutscenes.
I don't even know what it's saying.
Piece of shit robot. I wish I could do a 'Short Circuit 2' and beat it to death.
I finally got online working today and played a bunch. Invaded twice and defended twice. Its some good fun. Invading is difficult. You have to go up the command platform to the top, so you have to be very careful not to be spotted from above. You receive negative espionage points for killing, positive points for Fulton extraction.
When it comes to facing another person, neither you or your opponent stay down for long. Even a tranq to the head and you're back up in 5 seconds or so. Be ready for it if you're trying to Fulton them but have to move them first. No one is all that good yet. Most people haven't expanded their bases either so most people only have a command platform. I think it'll take awhile for people to build their base up and get good.
Also forgot to add: successful defending and invading nets massive GMP. I netted 850k in one go to be exact

Fucking 4 in total and fucking singing robots and AI's are worse than this.

I just discovered you can switch between primary and secondary weapon while aiming by pressing square. After 45h of game time lol.
Wait until you discover the secret fast travel system.
No problem, bro. I infested Vally's mind with that idea through parasites.
Mission 16:
Wow, I can't believe I managed to take out the Skulls on my first try. Good thing I brought my rocket launcher along, and had Quiet for backup fire. What actually triggers them anyway? I think I accidentally fired on the truck when I was trying to hit the driver going into it and then they all showed up. Also is it possible to sneak by them and get the truck without fighting them?
Let me guess it has something to do with Quiet.

Yes, I used the Phantom Cigar to get into nighttime, infiltrate that base and retrieve the guy who makes his own seat.

Yeah, it's probably the worst mission in the game ._.
lol
If only.
Everything story-related to Quiet is absurd beyond belief. But I WISH I was talking about her.

I haven't, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have anything as bad as the Niaomi scene in here because the atrocious voice acting from Hayter and Raiden is gone. Nanomachines son.

You'll be ashamed of your words and deeds, Kojima.
It's the worst by far. Both MGS4 and Peace Walker were at least entertaining at times. This just flatlines almost the entire way through.
Oh boy.

I like Metal Gear when it's being stupid and over the top. There's just not enough of that here.

Even after finishing TPP I still think Meryl/Johnny is the crowning jewel of shit in the MGS storyline ._.
But yeah, plot wise Quiet isn't actually that bad. Heck, she's probably the best character in it despite the stupid objectification and not speaking.
I took them out with a sniper, didn't even try getting up close. I had D-Dog with me to help spot them, but you can also trace their laser sights back to them. Take cover, line up your shot so you can pop out quickly, and fire. You have a few seconds before they fire on you.. But only a few. Two headshots will do, or 3-4 body shots.

Strangely enough I used this relatively soon.
I look forward to finding out whatever it is you're talking about to compare. Did you play it, or just find out what's up?

Same, and I'm only on episode 14. MGS4 was stupid but entertaining, Peace Walker was just stupid AND boring.
Played the game to completion. Jesus. I felt offended when I finished it.
Mind...blown. Only 30 hrs in myself, lol.

Finish it. I thought 4 was terrible too.

This one is fresh, which would make sense for such opinions. MGS4 however, Meryl and Johnny, BB graveyard. Fucking Drebin + Monkey drinking soda and ruining scenes... its way worse and there is much more of it.
I did it with D-Walker with no problems at all. If you hold square for his acceleration mode he's fast as hell
I'm assuming it has something to do with what most who pay half attention already know without being spoiled or finishing.

Confused?
Exactly, look guys at the end of the day, this game hasn't got Mount Snakemore -_-
In fact I did. Of the mainline games before V I feel MGS3 had the best cutscenes/gameplay balance and even that was a bit cutscene heavy. Not to mention that IMO the writing in 2/4 just plain sucks.
Marvel
could never
No, just numb lolConfused?
Pretty much, yeah.
Yeah, and that automatically makes it inferior to MGS4.

My feeling at this point is that like with Final Fantasy, the people making the games may as well do whatever they damn well please and to hell with the consequences, because there is quite literally no pleasing every "fan"!
I think it just happens to any series once its gone on for a certain number of significantly differentiated instalments. Some people get so trapped in their own peculiar expectations of what sort of experience the franchise represents that they just get uncomfortable and defensive over anything that departs from their preconceptions.

I've at least not heard anyone say "Nanomachines" and "Peace" 50,000 times though, so there's always that. If it's just the ending of MGSV that sucks, that's still better than the shit MGS4 and PW gave us.
