all this cutscenes are making me have MGSV flashbacks again, if this is like that, maybe it's unbalanced the other way around, hope it isn't tho.
MGSV looked amazing from the trailers, then you get past the opening of the game and there are no more climaxes for the story. I really hope that we are not getting Kojimaed again with the trailers.

Team Fortress 3 looks really weird.

I guess that depends on your definition of gameplay.
Open world traversal, fighting, stealth, using guns, ladders and motorcycles... looks like gameplay to me.

Oh you will get kojimad..
They havent shown any interesting gameplay so far besides running and driving around in an empty big environment...
To me this game gets way too much hype from some folks...

Interesting to me how the actor's likeness is nothing like I've ever seen, or would expect to see from a made up CG character. Chin too small, receeding hairline, nose to big, just not good looking enought .. of course Refn is a producer not an actor..
Even so, shows just how unreal the characters usually are in VG.
[edit .. well madeupMan is giving me slight vibes of Shaun Hastings in AssCreed2]

Gamplay looks pretty interesting and it was great in MGSV, i don't think we are talking about the same thing.

This game is an MGSV clone, you gonna get dropped on the map (like mgs) carry that bag to this area, go get a sample from this area and be careful some weird freaks wearing masks lurk in the area, and drop a tear to see those invisible ghosts .
looks promising, can't wait.

No im living in a realistic life... IF you are proud about your gameplay in your game, you would show it. So far its just a package delivery simulator with some enemies here and there...
But yay lets keep kissing Kojimas ass...
Gameplay was boring in MGSV and the Open World shit basicly killed the game. Worst MGS game by a mile. I was not suprised that Konami pulled the plug.

This why I HATE the fact they used celebrities faces instead of designing original characters. This is my biggest grip with this game and mostly why I’m not all that excited for this game but I also understand this mostly my own personal issue with the game and mostly nothing to with actual quality of the game and most people are not bothered by it.

What killed MGS5 was defficulty.
If you have MGS5 on PC and use mod (infinite heaven) to lower health to just 10% and enemy visibility range by multiplayer by 2 you will get one of the best stealth game ever. Suddenly you have to use those extra stuff.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Kojima has been on this stage of hype before with Metal Gear games, Death Stranding is LOADED from what I can tell and will win more than 2 awards.

We’ll have to wait and see. I trust Kojima because he never disappointed me. Some call it “ass kissing” but I call it “trust in the developing team” and for the reason I stated.

"They havent shown" ?? No, you simply haven't seen or been paying attention. They've shown several combat sequences.
As in....look at this.
So....that looks like more then just "running and driving around in an empty big environment"
You maybe don't get the hype because you haven't been paying attention in the first place, I mean....you thought it was just about running and driving around. I understand how easy it is to not get the hype if THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK THE GAME IS.

I have always wondered with Kojima, why doesnt he direct a few movies on the side, he obviously wants to by the amount and length of cutscenes in his games. I then realized why he doesn't. Can you imagine the kind of reviews his movies would get if they had the kind of dialogue his games have, especially the MGS games, he would be savaged and rightly so.

Eh screw that noise about Kojima making a movie. I don’t care for modern movies but I’m day one on a Kojima game.
It doesn’t have to be a choice of one or the other. Games have the capacity to tell deeper narratives than most film.
I’ve still stayed mostly in the dark about this. Kojima trailers have always have so much fake shit in them too just to fuck with you.

There are multiple key moments in MGSV after the opening. They're just not cinematic, which I'm afraid is exactly what you were looking for. There is:
- Quiet's boss fight;
- Huey's extraction;
- The arrival in Africa;
- Eli's capture;
- Children rescue;
- Mother Base's quarantine;
- Code Talker extraction;
- SKULLS encounters;
- Sahelanthropus boss fight;
If anything, I'm excited to see how Kojima will further tie gameplay and storytelling in Death Stranding.

Quarantine, or if you go by how it’s spelled on the building, “Quarantin” is act 2. Or did you mean that idroid mini game where you need to fire staff because of infection?

Interesting character. I'd argue 21 minutes isn't enough time to do what one needs.

Kojima is like an opposite Tarantino to me. When the first makes a game I know I shouldn't bother, whilst when the later makes a movie I know I should watch.

Those are story beats, hardly meaningful moments and worst of all, those are allmost all the moments and they were almos all spoiled in the trailers. Also, for all the good gameplay mechanics that there are in MGSV, none of the story moments you listed are better or even equal to their equivalent in older games gameplay or pacing wise.
Also let's not forget the jeep moment, that is probably the most akward moment in the whole franchise.
Game had potential, but most missions where not well designed or no par with older games or even VR missions and after chapter 1 quality pumels hard. I'm all in for emergent gameplay and story telling, MGSV is not a good example for it sadly.

Alright, now I'm interested in knowing what you would classify as meaningful moments in previous MGS games...
Keihart

lets take the first MGS for example, sniper wolf's figh is a very meaningful arc in the game for the characters because not only being a boss fight , but because it is used to develop the characters. Otacon, Meryl, Solid and Sniper wolf are all developed through Sniper wolf's fight since the first time you encounter her. Within that moment there are several meaningful moments that have weight within the story and build a setup, confrontation and resolution. In MGSV most of those "moments" have no weight and payoff, they are just there, there is no setup, confrontation and resolution, there is maybe only half a setup for all the story threads. Maybe the game intended to have chapter 1 be only setups and then expand in 2 with confrontations and end with 3, but if that is the case 1 was not even enough for the setup and 2 is just there, giving you more "content".
I would say that the tapes are way better than the narrative of the rest of the game which is no excuse because you can expend hundreds of hours in it and even then is not capable to make it cohesive or even meaningful.

So you wanted more story? I've heard that argument and MGSV does have plenty of story. Setups, confrontations and resolutions. It's just not thrown in your face as it was in previous games. And the means through which that is achieved, you yourself already know:
Yeah, the tapes contain most of the story in the game. Probable reason for that was all the flak Kojima got for MGS4. So, the people spoke and he complied.
It's all in there, you'll just won't be interrupted as much to pay attention to it if you don't want to.
A game can't be more accessible and have more story at the same time. Not when you're talking about something like the eighth game in a franchise and accessibility was a clear priority.

I don't know man, the game is basically Peace Walker but not portable, yet, Peace Walker does a better job in the narrative. The tapes are no solving shit, they are like the scraps of a unfinished game. Tapes were the excuse for codecs in PW.
Also, don't look further than Ground Zeroes for an example in how MGSV could have been a better and complete game. That is the blueprint, everything is better in that demo sold as a game, it pretty clear that MGSV is incomplete and the trailers just used every bit of cinematics and editing to make it look bigger and better than what it was.

I agree. The main story beats weren't anywhere near as exciting as previous games, and the resolution to it all was super anticlimactic. I also agree that Ground Zeroes felt better done than most of the main game (story presentation and mission variety/creativity were better here, not to mention Camp Omega was a better sandbox than any of the locations infiltrated in the main game).
I loved MGSV for the raw gameplay, but everything else fell flat.

MGS5 had amazing gameplay. The open world stealth is amazing.
Its problems came from the lack of good story that we expected from MGS3.

And they're the excuse for codecs in MGSV too, nothing's changed in that department. They could have made codec calls in Peace Walker, hell, there are plenty after key missions. The point is Kojima learned from the feedback of 4 that stopping the player all the time is not what players want.
That game had one map with multiple missions in it: same as Phantom Pain.
That game had very few cutscenes: same as Phantom Pain.
Most of the GZ's backstory was in tape form: same as Phantom Pain.
And Phantom Pain has more gameplay refinements than GZ, no doubt about that.
If you liked Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain does the same, only more of it.
