Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
haha and so the battle for supremacy continues on! & i'm always late to the party...
MGS4 was bull****, it destroyed basically everything Kojima had set the foundations up story wise so it was a complete fail for all the points already made. It (along with PW) made the best game (MGS1) defunct in some aspects because of the way it disregarded everything it had originally intended.
Note to Kojima. Don't produce a game that makes the best work you've done not make sense anymore.
If you thought it was better than either MGS1,2 or 3 then your opinion doesn't count because you obviously don't know what you're talking about - in my opinion of course.
Same goes for the argument between SS & BB. If you prefer BB then you are a fool in my eyes. I don't want to offend anyone and i'm not trying to start anything but it's the truth. BB was intended to be a nobody in the SOLID games, just the main boss character from the MSX games. It wasn't until MGS3 when they fleshed his story out did anyone actually care about BB. Who coincidentally was a copy of Solid Snake to keep people interested in the series and to stop everyone from crying about MGS2 and the lack of Snake, because he had already had that much of an impact..
There's no fanboyism or folly in complaining about the way the series is headed and has been headed for the latter part of it's existence. TTP/GZ does promise hope yes but judging on the last titles entered into the series i'm not holding out for much.
If anything everybody who is ****ing in there pants over some trailers are the real fan boys. Praising something they have seen a 15 minute trailer of that gives no insight into anything. It's basically a hype machine and you're all the suckas...
It's fine if you like the rubbish MGS games and like the way the series is headed but be under no delusion it's nothing compared to what it was and some better graphics and an open world map are not going to bring it back up to the same level it once was. It needs concise, well thought out, intricate and most of all emotional writing which stirs up new feelings for old emotions, not retconning the same bull**** for 3 games.
That's why Solid Snake will always be better than Big Boss because he will always be the more interesting character. Kojima inadvertently saw to that by making Big Boss so predictable and borish
EDIT: When i say rubbish MGS games, i merely mean the worst out of the games that have been made. I still think MGS4 & PW are ok and i got enjoyment out of them of course, just an overall set disappointed was felt the more i played, which is the premise behind the reasons as to why some people really like it and why some don't. You were either disappointed or you weren't
