You know that's a good point. Maybe it'll have a high-texture mod upgrade, like Skyrim.

I was gung ho for getting Phantom Pain for the PC. I have an ok PC, nothing great. But i can make some Ps3 Era games look next gen. And games in general run decently on it.But i got Ground Zeroes and i could run it somewhat good. Medium to high settings for most of the settings ( stuff like lighting turned down somewhat ) and i could play the game with no lag or anything. Then i went for a good month or 2 without playing it and i can only assume they added some patches or updates or something because when i went to play it next the game ran like crap for me. i have no idea why. I re-changed all the settings to every possible combo. All of my other PC games are fine ( Apart from The Evil Within which has always ran like **** for me ). So its a complete mystery. Ended up buying a ps4 Pretty much because i couldnt guarantee if i bought the game for PC it wouldnt run like a lemon.

Man, what's wrong with people nowadays? Kojima zombies that are defending Quiet thinks the detractors are calling Kojima a "sexist". Or that this is all "feminism" or "double standards".

Kojima's not a sexist person. He's just a 52 year old pervert, and don't anybody dare to deny that.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The Kojima apologists... ugh. They need to fabricate excuses all the time. Can't it just be what it is? Does it always need some intellectual layered bull **** under it all the time? No. Can he just be a creep? Yes.

You know what would have been cool? If Kojima owned up to the whole thing and just admitted he just wants T&A. What's wrong with that? I love some T&A too! Why hide behind philosophical pandering of being ashamed of your deeds and all that BS?

My girl watched me play some of MGSV (not no more since she finds it even more dull than I do )

She liked Quiet and thought she was cute, but didn't understand why she needed to look like a swimsuit model. Meryl, Eva, The Boss were all classy but attractive. Naomi I think, was the start of making his characters slutty.

I love Quiet and everything, and I do think there's a place for the "you'll be ashamed" bit, but for her character not for the players.

But yeah her design is pure T&A and I love it

Quiet as a character is fine, the irony of it all is that how she looked turns of to be decremental towards her credibility as a character.

As for Naomi, yeah it bothered me a lot especially since she was such a classy lady in MGS1, and she dressed the part. What's the point of her dressing like that except for fan service. And the less I say about the B&B the better.

I love that Naughty Dog refuse to sexualize their female characters in Unchrated and TLOU, since Kojima will probably have Ellie run away from David in her undies.

Okay guys, the moment you've all been waiting for. SuperBunnyHop's review.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Watching it now... finally, an unbiased review. "Breathe of fresh air" for sure

Kojima's sexuality must be kept a secret! Ancient Japanese sense of honor...or a proverb....or something...

I don't want to know about "Japanese sexuality".

 

[Snake Plissken]

I don't want to know about "Japanese sexuality".

It involves fondling women on the subway so much, that there's "women only" trains.

 

[FSLAR]

I don't want to know about "Japanese sexuality".

It involves lots of 'o didju rike dat?' moments, clearly

 

[Snake Plissken]

"The series he's made, has grown into a self-contradicting mess." Too true.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Okay, I've just finished the video (FSLAR, don't watch it as it has spoilers).

George Weidman speaks the truth, I always said he's definitely one to look out for, and he consistently proves it with his in depth analysis that would take an idiot like me years to formulate. He mentions how this is inferior to MGS2, 3 and even 4 and how much of a letdown the total package is. Just like myself, he criticize the game not out of hate, but love for Kojima, and how our "God" has fallen so spectacularly.

There will never be change without some honest to God attempt at doing some good, even if the cost is getting a few hindered dislikes. You won't get evolution if your content with whatever your idols throws at you. I'll never get the awesome MGR soundtack if I hadn't been approached to do that MGS video which I gladly did to just because dubstep is what I thought would suit Raiden, and that's what Platinum thought as well.

Point is, this game touted itself as being revolutionary and "taboo", but what we got is not only far from it, but the worst Metal Gear experience to date, yet fans and critics are eating it up. This is why more MGS games were made, and as a fan who loves this series dearly, Kojima's departure just might be a blessing in disguise.

So yeah, we finally get a very intelligent argument form an intelligent man going against the norm, the review scores. While people, including Kojima hail YongYea as the next MGS messiah, I'll gladly follow what George is preaching.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The fans (most of them) are exactly why this is what we got. They perpetuated this **** for years, and are too stupid and naive to do anything but bend over for it.

There's no way in hell, people that hate it now are going to love it 10 years down the road. MGS2 took awhile to grow on me, but shortly after I understood it. And at least it had a giant message, the biggest message ever in gaming, about the age of information/control and memories. None of that was in here... nothing to take with you once the game abruptly ends.

I just can't fathom how spectacularly bad this game was, which totally goes against what the reviews are saying. Like you said, it has no message, no irony, no juxtaposition. It's not fit to wipe MGS2's Raiden's Sneaking Boots, it just shows that Kojima just gave up. Why? Because we'll eat it up anyway. Like we always do.

Well screw this crap, I'll take part in MGSV no more! Well, as soon as I get the platinum that is..

Man, I wish you could join in the discussion. Why don't you rent the game instead of buying it, you might be glad that you did.

 

[FSLAR]

Thanks for the warning Raiden, I was suspicious but I'll wait

The other thing with MGS 2 is frankly, there was still some decency to its story! Ignoring the underlying message, it was still a good story. And the gameplay was great too, I still say it was pretty advanced. From what everyone's saying about MGS V, it's pretty bare bones with story.
