Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain

I really hope MGS5 does not follow MGS4 that closely. It doesn't look like it but you never know.

Because Kojima was the "guy" in developing, maybe having him away from the series will help it. It's gotten extremely cinematic heavy (for no reason), story doesn't make any sense and is filled with 85% filler and the gameplay isn't as good as I remembered it. And seriously, the writing is ****ing garbage.

MGS4 is pretty awful

Meh, thats a minority opinion. MGS4 was great to most.

MGS4 was boss.

I bet 50% of those reviews would be taken back if they reviewed it again.

It's not a great game and it hasn't aged well. The entire 3rd act is crap and with the Dresden shop and octocamo, entire sections can be completed without any skill.

I disagree.

Mgs4 was pretty good, not the best, but really fun nonetheless.

Pretty much the only people who liked MGS4 are fanboys who like all the MGS games and would have paid $70 for Ground Zeros if given the chance. 👆

I like MGS4 and I didn't buy Ground Zeroes.

You didn't buy Ground Zeroes? Wow, what a hater.

I go to the forums, and the majority of the fanbase hates MGS4. They are also the second worst fanbase I've ever been a part of (Silent Hill forums being the worst). Everyone else, as evidenced by the many glowing reviews, highly disagrees with you.

Well of course they do, not everyone can have my exemplary taste in vidya.

Ground Zeroes will be free on PS Plus next month. Talk about patience having its rewards.

Make sure you pay $70. 👆

But it has 500 hours of replay value!

You get to play the same area but instead of picking up some kid, you get to disable anti aircraft guns! And it's at daytime so even more awesome...!!!

Why am I not surprised?

Because people keep on buying it!

I was looking forward to the multiplayer but now this news of microtransactions make it look a little less appealing now and with Konami jumping from console to maining mobile like giving the finger as you leave before a bomb goes off, Kojima's departure is becoming more justifiable.

Doesn't affect me at all. Nothing more satisfying than whooping those losers that spent all of his mother's money on fancy weapons 👆
