I'm a Metal Gear fan, and I absolutely loved MGSV. Well, despite it's story. It's an Anti-Metal Gear game, though.
Question: did you play Peace Walker or did you say you were a huge fan just because?
Did I really need to specifically mention that question was directed at the OP?
We NEVER had this discussion before.
Open world didn't prevent this from being a great MGS.
Know what every other numbered MGS has that this one lacks? Fantastic boss fights.
This is where I'm at with it. The core mechanics are absolutely incredible and is the sole reason I keep playing it (along with the trademark MGS humor/quirkiness) but everything surrounding the mechanics is so mediocre. But hot DAMN are the mechanics incredible. By far the best playing MGS game.Theres a good game somewhere hidden in it, but it's surrounded by poor or question design choices. It's also a unsatisfying story with poor character arcs.
Disappointing is the best description for it.
I agree.
Even as a HUGE Metal Gear fan, I don't see myself playing MGSV again.
I've put 200 hours in and haven't finished it yet. It's endlessly fun for me. I'm thrilled that it wasn't just dozens of hours of boring cutscenes.
MGS V is one of the most divisive games ever to be made.
i really liked those. every metal gear solid opening is soooo gooood
Yes. It was clearly a bad MGS game. Had more in common with todays generic sandbox crap than any MGS, and that's for sure.
I mean, cmon. Chapters and mission select? Lack of cutscenes. Lousy characters. Weapon customization? That whole "skan everii guy u see cuz cud b gewd soljer cuz....will be gud" thing?
yeah. uh, not MGS. Was a decent game. I just, you know, wont ever play it again.
That whole "skan everii guy u see cuz cud b gewd soljer cuz....will be gud"
i didnt really get into that because i didnt have psp.
but i was always crazy about metal gear franchise since i saw the trailer on demo disc on my ps1.

that changed the way i looked to video games.
i still have my copy of MGS4 even though i sold everything related to ps3.
just saying, metal gear solid is the best franchise ever for me.
now if you dont think thats not enough
i have a metal gear solid mug
I don't give a shit. Get over yourself.
Get over myself? OK... Done. Anything else?
I don't get the people claiming to be "huge fans" of the series and a fan of this entry. I just don't.

No. That would be all.

This is what makes it so good: a MGS fan hates it.
I stopped playing because practically every mission played out in the exact same way. Way too repetitive for my taste.
I agree, even the main ops are the same after 10 missions.
Theres a good game somewhere hidden in it, but it's surrounded by poor or questionable design choices. The story is poor with the most characters being two dimensional.

Well, you're wrong.
"Extract guy", "Escort guy", "retrieve this", "destroy vehicles".
