TFA was bad simply because of all the repeats.

The Sequel Trilogy invalidates the original trilogy, nothing that happened is relevant.

Evil Empire with biggererer Death Star and AT-ATs (aren't they cool guys)

The Jedi are all faded away and now new hero has to bring them back.

what do you do in that game? can you hit on chicks?


Play baseball, stop a child trafficking ring, deliver pizza, sing karoke, uncover a plot by members of the Yakuza, gamble, play darts, get approached for a pyramid scheme, get into street fights, fight a pants stealing thief, defeat eight year olds, get into a gun fight, leave a chicken in charge of a real estate district, see Japanese discrimination against the Chinese, dance off against Michael Jackson.

And yes, you can hit on chicks, via a telephone club and on other stuff.

The series is great for variety, somehow managing to have great humor in it's side events and a very serious well done plot without dropping a beat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; the games have never been historically accurate, and for the most part, the only complaints about accuracy are about women and minorities, and that is telling. Other incredible historical inaccuracies are just completely glossed over because it doesn't fit into the whole 'SJW agenda' paranoia.


Like people complaining about the Dutch being absent in this very topic?

Seems you want to gloss over points to fit into your agenda.

I don't get this. I enjoyed my time with Twin Snakes. The cutscenes were a little dumb at times and the voice acting is somewhat subdued at some points, and I definitely think it's not the way you should first experience MGS1, but how does that make it the worst MGS game ever?


They basically made a mockery of MGS1.
Gameplay engine was from MGS2, therefore you could see stuff you otherwise shouldn't be able to in MGS1 level design. Tranq gun was also implemented and nothing in enemy design was changed. Game was way too easy.
Voice acting had to be redone because MGS1 VA was done on some old technology. They made it sound like a parody.
Cutscenes also made it look like a parody with snake doing backflips while stepping on missles etc.

Well yeah it's supposed to be a different take instead of just a graphics update. It's by no means a replacement and I don't think it's supposed to be.

But the cutscene thing is way overstated. There were only a handful of times that really felt excessive to me--the Ninja intro, the missile jump and the side flip in the Rex hanger--and of those, two are clearly meant as goofy answers to dumb questions. How did Snake survive when the whole roof exploded? How did Snake not get seen when he went past the door? The real answer is shut up it's a game and this has no bearing on the story, while the smartass answer is... well... TTS.


To be fair Liquid tanks everything in MGS1 and is totally fine.

People want a degree of realism in some media they consume and others not so. Why do you think people liked Band of Brothers and thinks with a darker tone.

If I see a WW2 film I expect it to be accurate, that doesn't stop me from enjoying how wildly stupid Sci-fi can get.

so why is that that it's always the inclusion of women or minorities is what spurs people to bitch


It's not always people complained about automatic weapons, the tanks, use the Aussies and neglecting the Kiwis on a battle they were present at in BF1.

People bitched that there weren't black people in Kingdom Come Deliverance too.

I don't think reinforcements moving up and out is that big of a thing.

That character still dies, you are just moved to a different member of the force.

Holding to those standards you couldn't describe any game or even film as accurate.

The Battle of Hong Kong, and the Asian war. Indian, British, and Chinese soldiers holding against the Japanese.

Show the Gurkha and all of that.

Focus on the really early parts with the Polish, Dutch, and Belgium, that initial sweep and countries we rarely see.

The Finnish-Soviet War.

They can't do stuff like that because there aren't enough Americans involved

MGS2 is my favorite, but the first three Solid titles are in a league of their own.

With Peace Walker and Rising coming after.

MGSV has great core gameplay, but the levels and missions really suck for the most part, and the story is downright awful.

I'm still annoyed over

"Focus on lesser known aspects of the war, showcase diversity"

Oh so we get to see Italy's invasion of Ethiopia?

No

Then something cool like the Battle of Hong Kong

No

"The Indian and China side of the Pacific"

No.

Then what is the game going to cover

"Britain versus Germany."

Why can't we actually get something cool?

WW2 had so much crazy shit.

The Polish regiment that recruited a bear in the Middle East, a Korean who served on every front of the war (and survived too), a Gurkha who actually won 1-200 conflict literally single handedly.

Let's see that.

It's what annoyed me in BF1 the same way.

Instead of Actually doing what the marketing claimed we get these lame fake stories on things people already knew about, that actually destroy the contributions of other groups.

Because remember that Australian mission where they bash New Zealand the whole time? That battle was fought by New Zealand.
