Are we serious here? That sounds like damage control bullshit at its best to me.
Damage control ? WTF are you talking about ?
Are we serious here? That sounds like damage control bullshit at its best to me.
A french reviewer who hasn't posted his review yet said he refused to rush the game like so many other reviewers and that in his opinion, most reviews complaining about the story being unconclusive and lacking the Kojima moment have simply not seen the true ending.
He says that to get the whole picture, you NEED to listen to tapes and see the actual ending.
He also said that, had he written the review right after the final mission without playing the extra content, the score would have been much lower.
He said he went from being a little disappointed to blown away.
He also mentioned that the true ending not only broke the fourth wall but completely shattered it in his opinion. With an incredibly powerful message to the players.
And what did you say when I told you nobody had played the ending?
"Don't assume you know everything from an event you didn't attend". Dude there's a reason I told you that nobody had seen the proper ending.
Edit: As of the other day and when the first review came out.

I'm planning on this being the only thing I play in September. I've already done MGS:Twin Snakes, MGS3 and watched the Peace Walker Youtube Movie this month, so I'm ready.
I'll be taking my time with it, glad to see its being well reviewed. It's only going to give Kojima even more bargaining power for wherever or whatever he does next.
I'm not GAF. Also, if you read through the thread, you'll see posters with impressions having access to the game as well who mention tapes are the biggest source of story with cutscenes helping along the way. One can deduce this pretty fucking easily if you read. So, I'm not sure what you're getting at. As to the quality of the game and such? That's what I don't quite trust with these reviews...based at a review event. These people have to slam through the game in order to get as much as they can and are NDA'd and blah blah.
Just grabbing the basic FACTS about the game is easy. Don't be stupid. Scores and quality? Out of a review event? Ain't trusting it.
Also, I'm not GAF.
I like the idea that you have to earn the real ending, that it doesn't get gifted to you. Something that can set you apart from others.I'm shocked that a so powerful ending is locked behind the true ending and not the original one
You must have missed Bloodborne And The Witcher 3 then : )
Can't Wait.
First time to see GameSpot & IGN Give 10 to the same game.
Not a fan of either. Bloodborne is a good game but the hideous artstyle ruins it for me and don't even get me started on The Witcher 3. Most overrated, mediocre game I've seen in ages.
On consoles the only thing of note to release was Splatoon. That would have been my GOTY (on consoles not counting portables) before MGSV came around.
It's not. Like I've said before, it's spoiler territory, I'm walking a thin line I do not wish to cross, especially in here. I'm not getting banned for trying to explain something. I'm sure others from the spoiler thread will back me up when I say we won't know how to unlock the ending until September 1st. basically the story doesn't finish when it finishes, there are are questions still left. On September 1st we will find out how to further the story.Are we serious here? That sounds like damage control bullshit at its best to me.

Pretty sure they're referring to the aggressive CA present in Bloodborne.Bloodborne is gorgeous man. Awesome game too.
You're not GAF, but you're popping up in a review discussion thread to tell us how you're going to YouTube the ending. If that isn't the greatest example of infuriatingly neogaf.gif I don't know what is.
Also people in this thread need to stop quoting the description of the secret/true ending.

You should know what TPP looks like by now.
Let's make it a 98, Polygon.
I'm so so sorry :/
I liked Twin Snakes. Its early 2000s way of doing things was ok with me. I thought it'd aged surprisingly well.
Plus it looks a lot better than the PS1 version.
Charades usually are humorous.
I'm sure the reviewers would not have minded some more of it, but Kojima is running a little short on time.
Everything they did at the review event was scripted. A little exercise set up by us.
It will likely drop back to 95.Let's make it a 98, Polygon.
Tons of reviews remain. Will we get to *gasp* 99?
Yup, that's exactly what happened. I feel that the game didn't deserve all that crazy hype and praise and definitely didn't deserve all the crap it got later. It simply was a good but flawed game.Just to be the contrarian in the room: how did people react to MGS4 on day 1?
I seem to remember it reviewed very well and everyone loved it. Then the initial Kojima madness wore off a little and the opinions started to change.
After watching the in-depth stream of Twin Snakes yesterday, I have to say in my opinion it is vastly inferior in every way except graphics, and even graphically it somehow manages to age less gracefully than MGS2 despite being on better hardware.
On GAF, MGS4 and MGO were like the second coming at the timeJust to be the contrarian in the room: how did people react to MGS4 on day 1?

What, like English(Kiefer)/English(Hayter)?Does this have dual-audio?
I don't know if I can Keifer.
Just play all the side ops and you'll be fine.Man, I may have to buy the guide. I want that true ending.

On PC it does, but not on consoles unfortunately.
Yikes, don't agree with you on Bloodborne's artstyle or Witcher 3's mediocrity at all, I thought they were both masterpieces.
But I always felt MGSV was going to beat them.
No, like can I play in Japanese instead of Keifer English

I usually ignore audio tapes in games in general... to think that the story of a MGS games relies so heavily on them is a travesty...
Seriously, I'm getting more and more frustrated with the things I'm learning about this game...
Man, I may have to buy the guide. I want that true ending.
