Good thing the game was delayed
Since it was delayed, it was eventually good

If only Peace Walker was the true MGS V. Dreams.
I think the story was fine with some great elements, especially when you consider Ground Zeroes as part of the overall package. I actually enjoyed the ending and the game had some really great high points. You really have to dig for the story, and while it's maybe not the way I initially wanted it to be presented, I'm fine with it in the end. MGSV is one of the overall best gaming experiences I've had in the last few years.
I think the game is a victim of some people setting some weird expectations in their heads and then heaping knee-jerk reactions out whenever given the opportunity. I honestly believe that most people are fine with the overall story, but there's a group of people out there who sit and wait, chomping at the bit, for their chance to complain and make hyperbolic statements such as PP being the worst story ever written in video games. Quite honestly, I think it's a real joke and I can't read people who state things like that without thinking they are or would have been the same people who said MGS2 was terrible, but now praise it as some sort of new-age literary masterpiece.
Honestly, I've forgotten almost everything about it.
It was Metal Gear trying really hard not to be Metal Gear. And it never concluded. I love the gameplay, but the story was a huge let down for me. My biggest video game disappointment of the last 5 years.
The thing that really pisses me off is that the story is basically fucking filler.
We could've gotten an interesting story about Big Boss and how he became this fallen hero who succumbed to his anger and twisted idea of what the Boss wanted and how he created his own nation (which would be a perfect way of ending the series and connecting Big Boss arc with Solid Snake's). Instead it's about this retconned worthless medic clone that was duped into doing unimportant shit in Afghanistan and Africa that doesn't amount to anything in the MGS saga.
Just thinking about this makes me mad, fuck...
Still find it stupid and unneeded. Should have stopped with 4, hell I'm ok with PW at this point.
Kinda wish GZ and TPP were a reboot with a different story to go along with the different gameplay.
Like you I loved these moments. But still I can't help but feel...unsatisfied. I wanted more of the story, or the pace it progressed.I was actually moved by the scene with the soldiers saluting as you shoot them, by Quiet's sacrifice, by Venom wiping the ashes on his face, by the realization by Venom of Big Boss' whole plot...
But we already know that, it's called MGS Peace Walker... I'm glad Kojima doesn't delivered what people want him to do though...
I love you XD
