Who said it's controls are flawless? Never me. I've mainly praised it's story telling and writing. It's the most coherent game Kojima did without his weirdness anywhere to be found in it. The controls are terribly flawed, maybe even for back then.

But you gotta look at it in the context of when it was made. Also, it's got in the top five best boss battles in the history of gaming.

I've seen so many people say the controls were perfect then and still are - then I mention the sniping bits and they're liike '....well maybe but the point still stands!' I think there is some still Kojima weirdness, between nude Johnny, the Psycho Mantis concept...and that Otacon Stockholm Syndrome it's tame. I think he was getting started with his Kojima-weirdness

I don't mind the story telling and writing, it's just some cutscenes were too long and had fluff, or some (Namely most of the Meryl ones) didn't have an actual purpose. As for the context, I guess...though that in itself may have some issues. But most of those games I witnessed made top five lists too for various reasons. Top five lists don't even mean **** anymore with how they're basically meaningless click bait

Also this is basically the fanbase as of late. At least with some old fans and def the newer ones. I almost want to say it's always been the series since MGS1 came out

Game is a masterpiece, and I can't even sell these things for half the price.

Yeah, it sucks. Aside from a few of the "V" figures being fairly in demand (Quiet, Jungle Fatigues Venom), the rest of the line doesn't really seem to garner a lot of interest. I know you've been at it for a while, but you'll get 'em sold eventually!

Mission accomplished, boss.

Mission accomplished, boss.

Indeed...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Such a nonsensical way for the reasoning for a character design... and like MGS cosplay needed to be strengthened anymore than it is.

 

[Solidus]

Well, Kojima wanted more female cosplayers doing Quiet, so...

...that is a really good point....look at how in demand other PAKs like the FFVII ones are. And yet MGS V is perfection to people so....why isn't the merch in high demand?

also gonna start listing the rest of my MGS PAK soon

Anyone else feeling kind of down about the very low likelihood of MGS merchandise going into 2017 and beyond? Chances are looking pretty remote at this point that we'll ever get some definitive MGS1 and MGS2 figures, in any scale

I'll even take Hot Toys Venom Snake and Quiet. Please just release something - anything - better than the PAK, Figma, Revoltech, etc efforts...

 

[Snake Plissken]

I feel it as well, but strangely I'm not all that upset about it. My interest in the series has declined ever since V. If we get some nice high end stuff of the earlier games I'll gladly buy them, but I'm not necessarily waiting with bated breath.

Stop doing what I'm doing.

The only figure I would be remotely interested in is a Marines RAY. I was never fond of the MGS4 Outer Haven Ray thus I never got the one from 3A or Koto.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I actually sold a MGSV PAK... the rapture must be coming.

That's what I was most down about when Kohima left. That and the notion of no more Shinkawa art
