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

Yea, I'm not worried about the length of the gameplay, 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.

About the plot itself and it's development .. considering that we are talking about Kojima (The Master Troll: lol) ,I'd bet he has many "hidden surprises", twists, and not everything shown in trailers is what it seems.. However the pacing, well, that's really worrying

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.

I think the hate for Kojima is real

I don’t get it though, even based on all these rumors going on with Konami, he seems to really care about his projects, I really don’t get the hate for the guy. Even if you feel like he’s fallen off from what he use to be, he’s still has to be mentioned in the top 5 best developers currently working on games. He’s right up there with Bruce Straley, Neil Druckmann ( hate them because they’re hipsters but they’re definitely talented), and Dan Houser.

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!

You didn’t find the stuff with Paz and Chico to be dark or disturbing? I think the internet is causing people to be desensitized to violence.

I’m assuming you haven’t played P.T. Kojima can definitely come up with some dark creepy stuff. That teaser is arguably the best horror game we’ve gotten in years

Yea, I’m sure we’ll be in for one hell of a ride. Based on previews I heard theres a good amount of content to be found in side ops that expand the story.

You think Konami could still **** with the game at this point?8 like cutting stuff out and selling as dlc, they do need dat $

I wonder if Kojimas name will feature in the credits?

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.

I ordered from Shopto aswell. Its the closest thing to a special edition after the game exclusive which sold out months ago! I'm going to go to the different ones to see if anyone neglected to pick theirs up. Other than that theres nothing

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.

Yeah a preview said that its the opposite of MGS4, not enough cut-scenes. That will definitely bug me! Whats the point of Kiefer then?

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!

To be honest if Africans are only victimized in the game and there are no Africans in the main cast then ill be on that bandwagon... At least RE5s other playable character was an intelligent African woman


Im not worried the game looks definitely dark from the trailers. Especially considering the franchises past

Not as dark as Kojima intended, still disturbing. And that was the extent of what disturbed me from GZ, and probably will for TPP

Well the thing is with P.T. 1. I can't play it, for obvious reasons 2. that's the point of Silent Hill...but we won't see anymore horror from Kojima

Who knows? Anything could happen

Maybe Kojima is trying to avoid racist allegations...even that would be going too far for him

 

[Solidus]

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.

Well, Peace Walker is first and foremost a portable game, so I'm not sure how that format will translate for TPP. If the missions are lengthy in TPP, that'll be great. But, what concerns me, is that PW is known for its short mission structure with an emphasis on co-op to enhance its portable experience. It's also pretty concerning, that there were reports which stated that the credits will roll after each mission clear.

As for the dark theme... I still have my reservations after experiencing GZ. Paz was basically Kojima's piniata throughout the game, and thinking back, it was very comical about how much she has to suffer. I just hope that TPP's dark themes will be done more coherently.

 

[Solidus]

Anyways.... there's four weeks to go for TPP's release, so I think I'm done with this thread until late Sept when I (hopefully) finish the game. I really couldn't care about main series spoilers, since we already know those. But, just in case there's any significant spoilers surrounding the story itself, I'd rather experience it first hand that read some guy's leaked info on a thread.

PW is fine for a portable game, format, and everything. But as a console game, it does not hold up. Your points are all true, and that concerns me too, among other things.

The credits thing...seems stupid. Kojima does crazy stuff....but he wouldn't do anything legitimately dumb, would he?

 

[GasparZizou]

I wonder if the credits thing is another way to stick it to Konami by slamming KOJIMA after every mission is over.

If that's the case...
actually still not sure what to think of it.

 

[pturtle]

I just read that leaked list of missions is fake and as made up on reddit, except for the first chapter which was released and confirmed already by the previews.

Japanese spot

All I could think of was this:


It's not something that would entice me to buy it, but heck, they already got my money so I guess it doesn't matter. I haven't been this excited for an entertainment release since MGS4! Heck, it's only release date that I remember for something other than MGS4! Ground Zeroes has my all time favorite gameplay mechanics besides the Demon/Dark Souls games (MGS3 is still my favorite game of all time though), and I was able to play it over 40 times without getting sick of it, so I have complete confidence. The latest game in my game collection is from 2011, so it's cool to add something to the shelf after so long.

Isn't Bloodborne a spiritual successor to the Demon/Dark Souls games? How come you didn't buy that? And you didn't play Arkham Knight, Bane?!?!

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just shocked your last game purchase was in 2011

I'm with you though, I haven't been this excited for an entertainment release since MGS4, and to me that game delivered.

Yup. You're right

New trailer with music by Hans Zimmer. Just kidding.

 

[GasparZizou]

Nice trailer, Deadpool and this, not a bad day.

How many so far? This has to be the MGS with the most trailers to date.

We can expect at least one more, the "launch trailer".

 

[Jameson Rook]

I think just about the same as the previous games. MGS2,3,4 and PW had A LOT of trailers.

 

[pturtle]

This trailer was done by Konami? Not bad.

 

[Solidus]

Strange trailer. Skull Face isn't even a main character in the game according to his voice actor. Unless he's used to progress some other part of the story, that doesn't involve him.
