Has any GiTs game been better than just "okay"?

This is not what I want out of a GitS video game.
Seriously. It should be, like, one part Deus Ex, one part Metal Gear Solid, and one part its own thing.
Too bad people are going to reward this kind of decision making by throwing money at it.
There are people who want to go in a game mostly/completely blind AND read this particular thread. Spoiler tagging hurts less than not, and it's not like it requires any real effort. I don't want to ruin anyone's day, because I wouldn't want them ruining mine.
If this were the MGSV OT thread, probably a different story. But I wouldn't recommend reading through that thread unless you've finished the game, as people tend to be a bit too lax with tags.

The PS1 game was actually pretty good, and it had a killer soundtrack.

Uzzy please, I know you love the franchise but, you don't have to support this.
Umbrella corps has to be better than this.
Yeah for real.This is not what I want out of a GitS video game.
I haven't played it personally but that PS1 game is looked back with praise. Not to mention that opening movie.
Infaune please
So, where is the Ghost in the Shell part?
I'm sure the existential philosophising part will come in quote form on the loading screens.

Scifi stuff and Kusanagi was there. Also opening phrase.
Other than that. I don't know.
Fixed. Back to the Future is their best game and should be played by as many people as possible.
People have freaked out over less.

One of my friends got mad that I said Dark Souls 2 had Estus and Swords in it before it was released and cried spoilers.
No they weren't joking.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I'm (selfishly, I admit) part of the problem because I'm really loving the "remaster" trend. I missed most of the Xbox 360 / PS3 console era, and now I'm getting to play the best versions of the most popular of these games on my PS4.
Also, I love how people think this is anything new. Nintendo released Super Mario All Stars in 1993 and it was essentially the first wide-spread commercially successful "remaster" - bringing several beloved games from one console to take advantage of new hardware in the form of updated graphics. I still love the shit out of Mario All-Stars, and even though remasters are much more commonplace now than they used to be your point about bringing it to as wide an audience as possible is right on point.
Also, I agree that BttF was a great game (though certainly not their best) and I'm looking forward to playing it again on the PS4.
I liked Stand Alone Complex

I can't believe I spent over 50 hours in MGS V and never got the gun customisation =/
Maybe if you support it enough they'll make a Ghost in the Shell-themed MMO you can play while reading the lore on an app on your phone.

the fallacy with remasters is that dev/pub efforts should be put towards making new stuff
but these tend to be smaller projects done wetworks style from smaller companies who might have issues finding work otherwise.
the cost of these projects is pretty small so it's a dumb line of reasoning to think we would be in a world filled with nonstop new AAA IPs and releases if only these remasters didn't exist.
finally, the only thing that will stop remasters and rereleases is people not buying them. You can't fault a company meeting demand with supply. People purchasing remasters doesn't mean that we will no longer have AAA releases ever again.
so in short, there's no valid argument against remasters that doesn't come off as a bit of unneeded whining from folks not understanding how the business surrounding these things works.
I found out yesterday that the reason i wasn't getting those missions was due to not doing the STUN ARM blueprint side op. I never use that fucking thing so i just never bothered with that mission. It seems that if you dont do it, the game doesn't reveal the Legendary Gunsmith missions. kinda BS really.

I seriously hope this is as good as I hope it is
Edit: erp, just watched the video. Hopes dashed.
It's because the game doesn't count it as an important (yellow) side op. Another tip is to do the 'hunt legendary animal' and "wandering motherbase soldier' side quests. The former unlocks upgrades IIRC, and the latter rewards you with photographs, some of which can be shown to a certain NPC in the medical bay.
Meh, it'd be better than Arise at least.
Thanks, that's the one

I'm at mission 23 I think, I need to play those ASAP! I was wondering why the hell I would have to develop a weapon that already equipped a silencer instead of having the ability to put a silencer on any weapon developed
Where's Jay Sherman when you need him?
It isn't monster hunter or hentai so probably not. But there is a market for that genre, at least in anime where they've got GitS and Psycho-Pass and stuff.

Yeah, I've heard that, but I've actually done that side op and yet still never got the gunsmith one =/

then do the legendary bear one. I believe you need to have both done for it to pop

Shame. You can really tell how GitS license adds nothing to the game being shown. It's just there to lure you in. Nothing but a bland shooter with a hazy GitS paint job.

Done that too
I think I just need to grind out more, it's silly though that I've done over a third of the side ops and it's never came up.
Oh, here in Denmark, I'm paying for 60/60. But I'm thinking, maybe it is my cheap router that is the fault of my connection losses.
Yes it is. I actually bought the Nighthawk, but returned it without opening it. Maybe I should just have kept it. Thanks for this, I'm definitely gonna look into it again!

Do you have the stun arm?

didn't know there may be prerequisites you have to do Side-Op wise to get the gun customizing ones to unlock...though I had already done all the ones mentioned before so dunno

Seems like a smart idea, joining two of the most terrible plots and shit endings in just one thread. I approve.

wonder if there will be a way to rip the Tom Wilson Biff stuff from Remaster to the Future or will TT do the reasonable thing and give PC gamers some sort of option to get that stuff without needed to repurchase the game at full price
eh im being kinda over-sensitive. he basically just said people called the twist
I guess people called lots of things so its not like im sure who was right
but.. I know

The announcement that the Mighty No. 9 demo is delayed is also delayed.
