Thread 719746235

Is it worth replaying ten years later?

>>719746235 (OP)
why would anyone replay this game. It literally makes you replay the game to beat it. I say this as someone who enjoyed there play through of the game

>>719746235 (OP)
Yes, if only because of the mods.

good for a first time playthrough, miserable for a repeat

>>719746374
>It literally makes you replay the game to beat it
No it doesn't, the repeated missions can be ignored.

>>719746235 (OP)
It loses the magic after your first time in a big way.

>>719746235 (OP)
It's okay

Infinite Heaven is cool at least. I liked the addition of being able to fly with Pequod to markers. Adds a lot to running around in the world.

>>719746235 (OP)
No.
Play and finish Peace Walker instead. I doubt you ever played it, now did you?

Top it off with Ground Zeroes 100% run.

>>719746235 (OP)
Yes, but this board of gacha slurpers are still mindbroken because it was a videogame and not a movie

>>719746235 (OP)
Yes it's still the best metal gear game when it comes to gameplay and some of the storypoints are alright.

>>719746235 (OP)
I miss my wife and her humming.

>>719746593
>Peace Walker
Its MGSV but clunkier, with more cutscenes and where grinding is mandatory.
Also the way to unlock new weapons is a convoluted mess.

>>719746696
I mean yeah it's a fucking psp game no shit it's clunky.

>>719746235 (OP)
hell yes, it may be unfinished but it's still incredibly fun and full of sovl

>>719746696
Wrong. It's MGSV, but better, actually finished, way more "Metal Gear" -like, more mission variety, and an actual co-op mode.

>Grinding is mandatory
No it's not. Just don't rush the missions like an ADHD caffeine bunny.
I literally beat the story 100% within 20 hours, week before TPP dropped. Zero grindan needed.

>Also the way to unlock new weapons is a convoluted mess
Locating design docs and kidnapping high-level R&D people is "convoluted"?
Get fucked.

>>719746774
The HD port fixes any and all control and framerate issues, and on PC you are free to choose both.

>>719746864
>way more "Metal Gear" -like
That's not a positive.

>an actual co-op mode.
So does MGSV.

>No it's not.
Good luck beating the Peace Walker boss fight with the M16.
You also need to finish ZEKE to truly end the game.

>Locating design docs and kidnapping high-level R&D people is "convoluted"?
When it requires completing random side ops chains and getting a specific rank on one of them yes, it is.

>>719746393
>Yes, if only because of the mods.
Name 15

>>719747090
>That's not a positive.
Incorrect again. It's a MASSIVE plus, especially compared to Ubishit that was V.

>So does MGSV
A clunky mod built off data mined code =/= official content. The game is not designed with coop in mind no more.

>Good luck beating the Peace Walker boss fight with the M16
Why should I?
Are you one of those plebs who did NOT already have Rocket-launchers and LMGs unlocked by the Pupa fight?? That shit never ceases to blow my mind.

>You also need to finish ZEKE to truly end the game.
Yeah, which ain't an issue at all if you blast the AI pod alone, and/or do the SideOp variants. You can easily acquire the bare minimum parts by accident even.

>When it requires completing random side ops chains and getting a specific rank on one of them yes, it is.
Such as?
Because most gear is literally just standing there on the maps, and obviously S-Rank is gonna give you the best shit.

>>719746374
Are you retarded? Chapter 2 is just the part in PW where you do extra ops to pass time until the true ending. I just did some side ops in V

>>719746593
It's weird how goofy and silly Peace Walker is at times. Probably one of the lightest Metal Gear stories of them all.

>>719747473
>It's weird how goofy and silly Peace Walker is at times
That's how Metal Gear has been since day 1.
MSF shall forever be my Mother BASE.

The true ending made me feel patriotic.

>>719747618
Sure, but Peace Walker is far sillier at times than the rest, which is especially strange considering this is part of Big Boss's decline into villainy and yet it's a very comfy and goofy experience most of the time.

>>719747753
>most of the time
Not quite.
And let's not pretend like the first hour of MGS3 didn't have:

>VIRTUAL MISSION?
>John Doe / Jane Doe + 60s movie trivia
>shit-eating grin when seeing a bee hive
>meowing Ocelot
>KUWABARA KUWABARA
>anything SIGINT

>>719747410
>It's a MASSIVE plus, especially compared to Ubishit that was V.
Not when MGS is defined by being movie games with awful gameplay and plots ruined with toddler humor.
MGSV got closer both gameplay and tone wise to what it should be.

> clunky mod built off data mined code =/= official content.
No, which makes it better than official content, as mods usually are.

>Are you one of those plebs who did NOT already have Rocket-launchers and LMGs unlocked by the Pupa fight??
Yes because I paid no attention to the grinding.
Was funny in retrospect, having to cut the climax of the game to go farm soldiers.

>which ain't an issue at all if you blast the AI pod alone
Sure, just gotta do it the dozens of times it requires to get lucky and get the right part.

>Such as?
The WA2000

>>719747998
Again, ignoring whole second half of my statement there. It's weird how light and comfy the whole tone of the game is considering this when Big Boss is supposed to start being really evil.

>>719747169
That's what I got installed

i only wanted to get it so i could abduct and indoctrinate female soldiers

It's 00:00, are the men on your FOB safe?

>>719748261
that's it
captured and broken into an obedient combat sex gimp

>>719748527
I farmed the female prisoner in White Mamba so many times so I could develop my own Shadaloo.

>>719748814

>>719748260
You can do that, though I have a preference for this tanned blonde

Peace Walker has way more soul than MGSV but the level design was severely restricted by the PSP's hardware and it's way too easy

>feel like replaying MGSV
>locked in an infernal two hour long unskippable prologue

>>719749225
It takes 15 minutes if you skip cutscenes. The crawling part makes it seem way longer than it really is.

>>719748098
>Not when MGS is defined by being movie games with awful gameplay and plots ruined with toddler humor.
...said literally nobody, ever.
MGS always had great gameplay, shittons of TECHNOLOGY, tons of replay value, and fun, captivating stories.

V shat on everything MGS stood for decades. It's just an empty open-world shooter, with shittons of grindan, and no story.

Everything else is just (You) farming, and essentially stating that you don't want to play a video game.

>>719750421
>MGS always had great gameplay
So great it had zero influence on the stealth genre.

>fun, captivating stories.
They are non sense filled with retarded toddler humor and utterly stupid concepts like "soldier genes", they are terrible military stories

>>719750674
>So great it had zero influence on the stealth genre.
It practically invented it.
Not to mention MGS was always one of Sony's flagship titles, and a huge phenomena when one arrived. Zoombies can't remember this, obviously.

>they are terrible military stories
They're not "military stories".
They are societal criticism, tackling matters about times, politics and technology controlling people, alongside with genes and memes (the OG 1970s definition) affecting individual on a more personal level.

All this, while they're all also fun and exciting spy thrillers, with occasional tear-jerker moment or two.

But enough of detours.
MGSV was a butchered mess, PW is the real MGS5, and it's one of the top-3 MGS games of all time.

>>719751096
>It practically invented it.
Castle Wolfenstein did in 1981

>Not to mention MGS was always one of Sony's flagship titles, and a huge phenomena when one arrived
Which makes its lack of influence in stealth even more baffling.
Thief carried this genre on its back.

>They're not "military stories".
They are, they just suck at it because Kojima knows about the military as little as he does about geopolitics.
Probably why he feels the need to distract with toddler humor.

Expectation:
>Fight against Zero and his Patriots who basically control the entire world
>Build Outer Heaven
>Final boss is Solid Snake
Reality:
>You just go around saving starving African children and that's it

>>719751836
Notice that there's no mention of gameplay, just plot crap.

>>719749225
The prologue was the best part
