As someone who has defended MGS V in the past, I'm actually trying to empathize with the people who really like this game, but at the same time look at this situation objectively. I have also played Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2. Granted, I played them both in 2020, years after they released and were ironed out.
This is what I'm seeing for this game:
-They're making improvements to the 3rd act of the game.
-That is the act that multiple people have pointed out feels undercooked in multiple ways.
-It also has performance issues in this act
-My take is that from a certain perspective, I could understand why a small audience who have been playing this game nonstop and have already reached that act or have completed it, would be upset at this because they would feel like the rug was pulled under them by all of the hype and great reviews.
-My take is also that thankfully, this dev is a favored dev right now and that the first two portions of this game are beyond great, and people are much more forgiving towards this entire situation, because otherwise this would have been terrible backlash for not only Larian, but also the state of the industry.
Hopefully this post clears things up and you're both taking a step back to look at this objectively, and not continuing to do the equivalent of this image because you think I'm talking bad about this game:
