Media Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes

[ZombieRepublican]

Not as many missions as i thought (only 3 chapters), unless each episode has several missions involved. I managed to not read any of the chapter or episode names either B-)

 

[Snake Plissken]

three chapters?

If there is one certain thing about the TPP it's that just not going to be a short game

The Game has over 200 secondary/sidequest Missions BTW..

 

[Snake Plissken]

Ugh...

 

[VALVOLINER]

Basically TPP has the same structure as Peace Walker, but further enlarged in scale and content.

Kojima himself claimed time ago that he was concerned that people could not complete the game because of this.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Having anything to do with Peace Walker is an automatic fail. It's ****** story and game mechanic don't belong on a main title game of the series. Kojima's claims don't mean ****, he thought the public couldn't handle how "dark" GZ and TPP were... we've seen terrorists attacks, and there's plenty of death videos on the internet... your game is nothing. Metal Gear isn't even relevant anymore.

People actually watch real death videos online? You have to be a special kind of crazy to able to watch those kind of videos if you ask me.


The violence in GZ was more than enough for me

 

[Snake Plissken]

I was just using it as an example... it's 2015, I think we can handle any type of fictional violence thrown at us... especially when IT'S COMPUTER ****ING GENERATED!!

Kojima seems to love the smell of his own farts by reading the garbage he spits out.

As long as it isn't a tank/helicopter battle spam. I absolutely hated that. The most lazy way to lengthen a game ever

Fully expect 100 RPGs to take out one lame ass APC

 

[pturtle]

Not me, I have a weak stomach

Anyway, I have no problem with this game copying PW format, I thought most of us here agreed the gameplay wasn't the problem with that game.

I also expect this game to sell like hot cakes

Truly was awful, some of the worst boss fights in Metal Gear, if not some of the worst I played in any game. I don't get why reviewers praised that.

As for the game being dark, I've seen far darker. The moon from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask is far more disturbing than anything in GZ, and darker too Nothing is really striking me out as Kojima intended in this game...unless Kojima is just luring us into a false sense of security.

Really? Never played a Zelda game but as short as GZ was it had some really dark stuff going on. Kojima did a great job in watering it down though and not forcing it on the player.

EDIT: Just read up on that moon thing, sounded like a fairytale for children to me

I don't know what's dark or disturbing about it, or how it can compare to all the things that happen to Paz in the GZ.

The true way to make t dark is to do horrible things to characters we love. It does look like a lotta black people are going to go through some pain here. I really hope we get a great black character in it. I mean they go to bloody Africa and not one african character!?

Where are people ordering the game from in the UK? i shopped around for pre-orders today but the only site i visited that offered a steelbook was shopto.net. Its the same price as the game everywhere else, and comes with day 1 DLC but the other sites dont say anything about a steelbook.

Metal Gear isn't even relevant anymore.

Kojima's concern was about the amount of content and time you’ll have to spend in order to complete TPP, and this corresponds to what people ( press people) who have already played the game say;

A few weeks ago I was watching a Q&A (from a Spanish online Magazine) about the TPP event they were invited .. And well, the guy had completed 25 main missions and plenty of side quests, and yet he ensured that he had’nt progress on the main plot during those 4 or 5 days in a row he had been playing (and the % completed was ridiculous)
Further, he stated that many of the side quests have to be made as you will need to progress in the main plot and main missions. (upgrades, items, gear etc)

Same for cutscenes, He said they were very few and very far between

All this fully corresponds to the Yongyea’s video (jeuxvideo French magazine preview) also

Have'nt played the game of course (like you ) but the impressions about the story and scenes are quite disturbing and shocking, at least in the opinion of those who have played TPP .. (NOT SPOILERS) ..Especially for what we are used in a MGS game.

Tomorrow at Gamescom event, They'll show a new demo/video focused on Mother Base.

Some teaser pics:

Yea, I'm not worried about the length of the game or the content in it, but like Solidus said before, I'm more worried about the pacing. It sounds like that can be a major issue. I just hope this doesn't turn out as underwhelming and predictable as Arkham Knight.

 

[GasparZizou]

Wait, now we don't think stuff in GZ was dark? I remember when GZ 1st came out everybody lost their respective **** due to how twisted GZ was, this place too, dark was the buzzword of the day; "Omg vajayjay bomb? Kojima you sick ****! Omg rape tapes! But, the tone of the franchise! Shock value! Everything is so dark is depressing!" not to mention the countless SJW articles about violence towards women, rape being a "reward" and all that. And now we're like: "t-that's not dark at all, I've seen ISIS videos more shocking than that! Lol Kojima u tryhard!" yeah I don't buy it, that **** shocked you and you know it.

It's an E rated game. but still, that moon (and a few things around it) is far more dark than GZ, probably even TPP could be. Hell, a creepy pasta based around the game is more disturbing than anything Kojima could do

We have Sigint, we should get more out of him!

That said watch as the game gets called racist cause of Africa alone RE5 repeat, go!
