That’s what I did. Once i saw the second act was just a repeat of missions without all the stuff i worked on getting throughout the game i bushed it and watched the rest on youtube. It’s a shame cause there were some cool cutscenes and set pieces but the gameplay just took a nosedive.

Everything with Liquid ended up on the cutting room floor.
So this shyt don’t take place before mgs 1? It don’t tie into that shyt ?

It takes before everything except for peacewalker and MGS3. It was supposed to be a direct tie into the original Metal Gear series and explain why Big Boss did the things he did in those two games and why its so out of character.

But the game didn’t wrap up the story well enough so its all weird

I beat it....yeah it also took me a while to get used to the open world mechanics

That upgraded silenced knockout pistol is gonna be your best friend

Also the phantom cigar...

That look when scanning enemies & seeing those high ranks :ooh:

This game was a kidnapping & management simulator on the low

The DDog storyline & using him to kidnap enemies

Firing troublemakers at base

Making your horse drop a deuce in the middle of the road to disable vehicles

Once you get the hang of the game, it's easy

When you lose high rank players due to the Kikongo Covid :sadbron:

this that whole thing with the staff and GMP handling.
deploying the right soldiers and using the right resources
deciding what bases to build using the little capital and assets you have
it's a great business simulator

The online stuff is good the basic 3 person shooter stuff in metal gear online

And you can go and raid other people mother bases and steal their gear and staff

I couldn't get into this game either. If it isn't fun after the initial intro which was too long and tedious as is, I just couldn't waste anymore time on it and went to the next.

So this game is not fukking complete? The fukk is point of me completing this shyt ?

There is a ending to the game
. there a third act that was cut for time

Honestly there three points in the game could end and it would have been a Good ending

the second act is six or 8 actual missions and the rest are hard modes of the first act thankfully they are label and you can skip most of them to play through the second act


The game just needs to be stream lined because there like five side quest that should be missions as they trigger cut scenes and certain charcters either die or leave mother base based on what happens to them

Its a game that would benefit from a remaster

There still things people are figuring out from playing this game and it is satisfying once you get a good amount of soliders and weapons to play around with.

There a articlle this week about somebody figuring out you can electrocute npc with down power cables

I wont knock anybody for not nb wanting to play it or feel it to sparse at first but it is my fav game experince in the ps4 and I stop playing games for like 15 + years

I'm a MGS fan, I have played and beat every game except Twin Snakes & Peace Walker. I loved MGS V Ground Zeroes :noah:

I must have ran it back at least 10 times in 2 days so naturally I'm fiending for The Phantom Pain :dame:
The hospital opening is :whoo:and :ohlawd: but I'm very concerned about what I'm playing right now.

- WTF is this mission sh*t? What happened to the game story structure with the 2hr cut scenes? The ranking should come at the end of the game :birdman:
- I'm not feeling this mother base and fulton parachute sh*t :camby:He shouldn't be parachuting the opps. The items and inventory should be what you find and keep on you. It makes you want to explore every section of the game.

- I'm not feeling this horse sh*t :camby: My guy Snake is a legendary stealth soldier. Let him sneak into the next location.

- The game is feeling more like an open world than linear :snoop:

- The story so far is taking place in the middle east and it feels so dull. I miss the jungles of South America and the freezing winter in Eastern Europe :snoop:



- Where's the evasion and alert clock?



How much longer do i have to be in the middle east? it's visually unpleasing. I hope it turns around but I'm disappointed so far :to:

SNAKEEEEEEEEEEEEE :damn::damn::damn:



:pacspit:
lmaoooo nikka waited 7 yrs to complain...oh if u think u heated now wait till u REALLY find out the truth :mjgrin:
