1. Isn't that what Ground Zeroes was?
2. Hideo Kojima has lost his frickin mind.
3. Ishmael is totally the real Big Boss.. Though with how far off the deep end old Hideo has clearly gone, that could always be a red herring. Also the flame demon. He's also the real Big Boss. Or Chico. He might be Chico.
4. Hideo Kojima has lost his frickin mind.

Or you know what

Ishmael could also be Ocelot. Or Decoy Octopus.

You know what

Yes.

I'm going with that. He's Decoy Octopus. And so is Skull Face. That actually explains a lot about his origin story. And you know what, so is my player character. It's how he turned into a black guy and then turned back when I did the character creator.

People keep sticking him with needles under the pretense that it's medicine, but they're actually injecting Big Boss' blood so he'll stay in disguise and not realize his own identity.

I was obsessed with Decoy Octopus after getting a MGS strategy guy when I was a kid and reading about him in it. I was so confused as to why someone that sounded so awesome was barely in the game.

Just finished chapter 1.

Nothing special. It's kinda disappointing that the Side Ops for GZ were significantly more fun and interesting than a main mission for PP.

I do like how many collectables are all over the place though.

BTW why does this game (and GZ) like brutalizing the cast of PW so much? >_>

Chico was supposed to be a major character in TPP but got cut.

MGSV gameplay wise is 10/10

Unfortunately the game falls apart after the first chapter and there's no real resolution.

Just try to enjoy the journey itself I guess

The intro was awful, I fucking hate on rails slow paced tutorial intros.

The game excels when it presents a mission and says "go do that shit however you want"

I guess some people like MGS for ultra-different reasons from me. I like it when it's cinematic to some degree. MGSV hates being cinematic after the intro and seems to actively avoid cool moments.

Ground Zeroes was far superior to Phantom Pain.

Phantom Pain's story is trash and will most likely piss you off once you finish it.

Whoa hey slowdown there buddy MGS2 is my favorite game of all time. I just recognize that MGSV is a departure from 1-4 but I enjoy it all the same. Gameplay wise it is objectively superior, but I do understand the frustration from a narrative standpoint. Kiefer Sutherland had like three lines, most of the plot is explain on tapes, and there isn't even a real fucking ending.

Still though, it has its flaws but it truly shines in some aspects. Hopefully Death Stranding overcomes the faults MGSV had.

Episode 3 was a little better. Though it was even worse than GZ about cramming a trillion enemies into one tiny area, and is it just me or do combat and alert statuses last way longer after you've escaped?

Like seriously, I watched a dude enter the building when I was on my way out and stand in the doorway looking left and right repeatedly until I was about to cry. He never did stop. I finally just capped him and took the reflex mode penalty. Which wasn't really a penalty at that point, I guess, since I had a reflex mode already by then (hence why he was looking for me).

The game is disappointing, but there's still plenty of fun levels you get to do. I especially liked the African (?) airport mission. In fact, all the levels there were kinda fun if you were going for full stealth.

Oh and I'm suoer disappointed to see that stupid heroism system from PW return.

Here, player, have 500 weapons. Just know that we penalize you for using them.

The best thing about GZ was unless your run required otherwise, you were perfectly free to blow stuff up, run people over and just generally have a grand old time because they ditched the persistent consequences.

True, I always felt that I was cutting myself off of a lot of the gameplay by going full stealth and never using the badass weapons I was unlocking throughout the game. When it came time to do a non-stealth mission I was pretty bad because I barely used anything that wasn't a silenced pistol.

Good grief who has time for this game?

Who has time to wait for them to revert to normal patrol after they see you so they don't throw a dang grenade at the target?

And to make matters worse, since you can't kill anyone they just wake back up if you take them out.

Well they gave me Fultons already but I'm currently limited to 12, compared to the thousand enemies they cram in every tiny base.

Hopefully that number increases. I can't remember if it did in PW or not. I do of course remember the fulton mines and fulton launcher.

I actually really liked that mission with the two tanks, the guy in the truck and the village on the cliff. Took a couple of tries, but I pulled it off with no kills by using a trick I learned doing the no weapons run for the Eye and the Finger in GZ:

I put a dude to sleep and threw him down in the road to make the truck stop. This was important because I couldn't come up with any other way to get the target out of the truck lol.

The other problem was that by the time I dealt woth the target and his driver, the second tank would be coming by and would see and kill me. I dealt with this one by using C4.

Then I think the Eye and The Finger died the first time I deployed them anyway. *shrugs* At least, the dudes I deployed never came back. I still haven't figured out how that works tbh.

Alright, so these are my favorite missions. And yeah, it is weird that some story missions feel like side missions and the other way around.

11, 13, 20, 28, 30 (except for the final bit...), 43

And that's...it. I like them all for different reasons, if it's for story, setting, or level design.

That scene where Huey is first shown was pretty cool. Not for Huey though. The colors were great and of course the Metal Gear/non-nuclear mech in the background was very nicely presented.

I hope they eventually give an explanation for Skull Face's habit of just letting his prisoners go. Like it's cliched and a dumb move anyway but when it happens once you kinda forgive it just bexaise it's a convenient way for the hero and villain to come face-to-face before the final showdown. But this makes the third time and I wouldn't guess I'm anywhere close to even halfway through. >_>
