Get to the awful second half of Metal Gear and see if you have that same tone.
They are literally opposites. Witcher gets stronger over time. Has a great narrative and tries to add meaning to each quest. However the combat is rather clunky.
MGS5 might be the best stealth game ever made, but completely stumbles over itself in a disjointed narrative and one of the worst second halfs of any game out there.
I love Metal Gear but I've never turned on a game harder. It's an unfinished game with no satisfactory conclusion, and a story that never ever comes together.
Glad someone said it. At this point I feel more like "Big HR" rather than "Big Boss".
Were the gameplay not so good in MGSV the writing, that at this point I am convinced is literally trying to kill the game intentionally, would have succeeded. Points for that I guess.
