Yeah it's such a weird thing to come out of the Konami channel, very passive aggressive of them

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes

This game actually picked up a bit, few Easter eggs on motherbase, and someone waiting at medical bay for me that was a real mind ****.

Also the online FOB portion of the game is actually amazing. Very unique.

Not sure about that ranking.

I actually like them all for various reasons.

MGS 1 because it was the game that got me hooked to the MGS universe.

MGS 2 because the game first introduced me to the tranquilliser gun gameplay. It was a blast and a good laugh going around putting darts in people's crotches. I was young back then so don't mind me.

MGS 3 because of the whole survival jungle gameplay and the epic sniper battle.

MGS 4 because of the gun modification and extensive tool sets available such as the little robot. Also the Europe sneaking mission was mysterious and memorable.

MGS 5 ... Haven't got it yet but it appears to be a culmination of everything that came before.

If I have to give a ranking, it'll be:

MGS 3
MGS 4
MGS 1
MGS 2

I am going to say its safe to Assume I am the only one who places the Metal Gear Solid Games In this Order:

MGS 1
MGS 2
MGS 4
MGS 3

I think its because I like Solid Snake more, in my personal opinion I feel like the games he makes appearances in have more to tell. Anyone ever think its interesting that he is the only 1 to have crossed over whole (no loss of eye or limb) aside from his youth being ripped away?

I'm prioritizing the side missions over the main story as I learned from Peace Walker that I'll be royally screwed in the story missions without upgraded gear. Or is that not the case this time?

Sort of, I only did about 15 side missions or so and I have plenty of GMP and missions are pretty easy to get through it I go guns blazing.

By the way, my game glitches on episode 42

I’m reading some people online had the same thing happen to them and they had to start over. I definitely can’t put in another 40 hours into this game.

if it wasn't posted something about Paz

Did 3 side missions and im currently on the mission where your after 'Honey Bee'. The gameplay really is great, I feel more compelled to be stealthy in this game than I have in any other MGS. Shame the MGS3 camo rating isnt here though. Not an ounce of story bar getting Kaz. Feels like all im doing is recruiting and hoarding gear to build my base like an RPG game doing dungeons. Enjoying the stealth though.

Its totally worth while doing the side missions. And when doing so dont forget to fulton targets rather than killing them.

........... just incase some of these targets have certain skills that can make you new weapons and tools.........

I cant progress i nthe story at the moment, difficulty spike overload for 1 mission so im doing all of the side stuff at the moment and its very rewarding when you do it with the goal of getting gadgets and goodies rather than using it to pad the game.

Anyone find the dialogue laughable, even when it's not intended to be?
Kaz is hilarious.

I've heard there's some really awkward and unintentionally funny scenes, plus apparently Skull Face is pretty cringe-worthy when he gets really into it...

Seems like the only person that doesn't sound cheesy is Sutherland but then again, he hasn't really said sheet yet and I've only played 6 hours. But skull face, huh? Can't wait!



I'm going to run around the 'Stan and recruit some men and gather supplies for my mother base.

I'm 14 hours in and just met Quiet. The story picks up just a bit but the pacing of the game is still really bad. I'll grind my way trough these next few days to beat it and finally have a definitive verdict. As of now, what I see is a good game, okay story trapped in a horrible mission structure. I'm indifferent towards it all and I hope it changes soon for the better!

Yea up until that point I still had hope the game would be good, let me tell you, I can’t believe how bad it gets later on.

Jeez man, way to sour the mood for a dude who just got a second wind!

What about the story? Without spoiling anything, do you think it's engaging/deep enough so far as to sustain interest when doing all the grinding?

Does anyone miss the random & long CODEC call conversations between snake and his support and command team?

Maybe there some sort of underlying genius metaphor I’m missing but as of right now, I think its the absolute worst in the series, and how its being executed is even worse. I already see people starting to rip on the game on other forums.

I think EVERYONE misses everything about the old games, even the long cutscenes. Aside from sneaking, this has NOTHING you'd expect from Metal Gear.

I also think the soundtrack is non-existent. (Not the songs as they're great!) but actual original score. This has the lamest Metal Gear soundtrack ever.

If you're talking about the games' story, I'm betting the voice acting is not making it any compelling.

I even thought that ...

Spoiler

hospital escape was sort of stupid. And especially Kaz' rant about rebuilding.

Voice acting is great to me from almost everyone, that and the gameplay are the only redeeming qualities. Everything else is either mediocre or bad.

However Christopher Randolph might possibly give the worst performance in the series, I can't believe how bad his voice work is in this game.

Well, my theory from ages ago is that it's a doppelganger, that would make perfect sense. Big Boss was the real villain all along and you're just a pawn. There are so much allusions of duality, even from the initial trailers. The Bowie song in the opening pretty much gave it away.

Then again, you'll probably be the first to beat it on SSF so don't spoil anything, don't even mention if I'm right/wrong!
