Its all repetitive though. You beat Ravana EX, Bismark EX and Alexander NM or Savage and that's it (let's assume that by then you already have the esoterics for i200 gear so you don;t need to run the same two end-game dungeons over and over).
Sure, they have a lot of stuff coming soon, but you're forgetting that its a SUBSCRIPTION game for which you pay MONTHLY whereas Destiny, for all its endless faults and price gouging is a ONE-TIME purchase.
I hated having to play the same shit over and over again... until I finished the storyline for Realm Reborn and had to replay the same fucking two dungeons over and over again to get max-level gear.
All MMO-like games, by design, are repetitive garbage, so perhaps we just need to accept it.
I think the trend is here to stay unfortunately. I guess all we can do is make the best of it. MGS is a great open-world stealth game, but my least favorite MGS to date.
I never thought I would be doing 170 repetitive side-ops in my favourite linear masterpiece of a series...
I agree with that. Perhaps its the deluge of open-world games and the absence of more linear experiences that is making me wistful for the past.
Great review. The game is a typical borefest of open-world repetition with a sprinkling of tapes and an unremarkable story.
More like a 7/10 as an open-world game and a 1/10 as a MGS game.
The side ops and the main ops in the game are ridiculously fucked up. Each solider is the same. Each interrogation is the same. Each base is almost a carbon-copy of another. Each mission has the same objective. Each prisoner is the same. Each tank-crew is the same. "Eliminate tank crew 5". Where is the rationale behind all this? None of it feels like it belongs in a MGS game.
Not only does Sutherland suck, but BB is also mute during the game. I have to listen to ta...
The article is right. I am sick and tired of open-world games. Until Dawn for instance was all crafted for story and it SHOWS. Imagine if that was an open-world games where you had to look for shit to do for the umpteenth time. The Order was also entirely based around linear objectives that were scripted to WOW you and not to elicit cries of desperation. Same goes for The Last of Us or similar games.
Ditch this open-world bullshit for good and go back to the way things used t...
Are you for real? Its a great stealth game maybe but the worst MGS ever made.
Until Dawn is the biggest surprise for me this year. Bloody amazing. Way better than any other game in the genre I ever played and the graphics. These damn graphics are mindblowing.
I want more of the same.
He is right. So many small annoyances in the game. For instance, if I want to fucking do another side ops mission, why the FUCK do I need to go back to the helicopter instead of, you know, have the helicopter transfer me somewhere else? Such an EASY thing to implement (and its already done somewhat at Motherbase).
And yes, a shitload of criticism that the reviews never mentioned should be applicable here as well.
Sure, they're all overbloated, but if Mad Max is getting 7/10 or lower then so should MGS. I think Mad Max environments are far bigger and win hands down in terms of detail and graphics.
True, but MGS praise IMHO is so undeserved, especially compared to the Mad Max flak which I genuinely enjoy far more (even though it has tons of problems on its own)
MGS lost the most important aspects: good story, codec, wacky cutscenes, linear cinematography, etc.
Now its an over-bloated, empty shadow of its former self where you listen to tapes, visit two sandboxes where you do the SAME SHIT over and over again (somehow that doesn't factor in the revi...
When will this MGS praise stop? Its an empty world bloated with the same shit as all other open-world games. Open your eyes.
Is this even a question? Sales-wise, COD will dominate, but in terms of overall quality, we are talking about a great Skyrim-level RPG versus a cookie-cutter FPS shooter for 12-year olds. Hmm...
Calm down people. Its great that we're getting a VII remake but I am pretty sure that's the last remake we'll ever get from SE.
The Game. Ignore the hub as the games are announced.
Bioware
You guys are insane. The shooting mechanics of Destiny and the overall atmosphere are eons above any Borderlands.
Who the hell cares about the Crucible or what lvl you are?! Joe is spot-on on all counts and PVP is not a fucking saving grace of what they promised this game to be. I blame each and every player who buys DLC for this for the continual sustenance of this dreck in the future. They deserve to be bankrupted over this detritus.
I hope its better than Inquisition. While it was a great game, I didn't feel immersed in its world at all. Mass Effect series always had me invested in its lore and story. Maybe I am just a space opera sucker :P
Still, I am surprised we didn't get any gameplay to this day. Mightily suspicious.
