>>11828143 (OP)>I rather play this than Peace Walker or Phantom Pain againyou say that, and i sometimes do too tbph since its such a ludicrously good GBC game, but peace walker and MGSV were onto something and the engine was just fucking great imo. there was a lot more to come from that idea of making that kind of an episodic MGS. and if you watch the growth between those games, you can tell something was there. it just didnt get enough time in the oven, and kojimbo used wayyyyy too much konami monies and got told to fuck off. so the series died an ignoble death then was shortly thereafter resurrected for a shitty survival/zombie asset-flip cashgrab, which put it right back in the fucking ground
personally, i wouldve liked to have seen that formula through to its logical conclusion. it was like the final form of combining VR missions with mainline metal gear story mode
but alas
ill tell you the thing it DOES have that indisputably mogs any regular MGS is an actual fucking plot and no kojimbo peepee/fart humor/"just like muh chink cartoons" nonsense. no guy off in the corner shitting his pants during serious scenes. which is certainly a massive improvement to the series
whats-his-face just knew how to write a more grounded espionage/thriller plot, but it still has juuust enough anime nonsense to be indisputably MG
