You have a good point Hoffmann. It kinda sucks that Sony and others are focused on VR rather than trying to get console to have constant 60fps 1080p with no texture pop ins, clipping, glitches etc. We haven't perfected gaming so why enter another plane? I can only imagine people getting sick from playing an unoptimized game with VR when the FPS goes from 60 to 10-25 variable.
I wonder how long it will be until we get games that look as good as Diablo 3's cutscenes, an...
You're right, the damage is done.
I don't need to get over it. I was cheated out of $60 because Kojima wanted to piss me off by ruining Big Boss, sacrificing dialogue for a retarded twist, removing cutscenes and everything that makes a Metal Gear Solid game a Metal Gear Solid game, it's like Venom Snake really is the game.
On the outside you would think it's a MGS game, but at its core it's just an imitation of a great series. I'm allowed to b...
The game is multiplatform. Way to resort to fanboyism.
It's really not though. Never playing a MGS game before and thinking TPP is what a MGS game is supposed to be is retarded. Which is what the majority of people defending Kojima are. Where are the interesting boss fights? Where are the innovative mechanics that make each boss fight feel unique and memorable? There is no End, Fury, Sorrow, Pain, Psycho Mantis, Revolver Ocelot, Vamp, Fortune, Fatman, Vulcan Raven kind of fights in this game at all. Boss fights were just as important as story...
Thank you Gamecritics for being honest with the game and giving it the score it deserves. This game is by no means a 10/10. 9/10, or an 8/10. Gameplay and attention to detail doesn't fix the story which is what MGS is known for. The game was meant to tell how and why Big Boss became "evil", and tie up loose ends in the series. This game hardly did one of those, and made the main story missions feel like side ops, and the side ops felt like tacked on Activision tier dlc.

"Aww poor Kojima never did anything wrong, he would have got away with making a complete game if it was for that meddling kid Konami" - 90% of N4G.
It took Kojima five years to take a huge dump on my favorite character in the series? It took him 80M to ruin Big Boss? If I wanted to play as myself I'd play Final Fantasy X, or another JRPG. Shout out to being the first Metal Gear title I've ever sold, and shout out to Amazon for $40 trade in credit.

He's right though. Xbox is known for Halo and Gears of War for the most part. That being said the majority of the Xbox install base don't play many JRPG's in comparison to Playstation, which Playstation has the most JRPG games on it at this time. It doesn't make sense to shell out money on something that hardly anyone is going to mess with in the first place.
Xbox has more than enough things to focus on without needing to stress over FF14 not doing well at all...
@donwel, thanks for the information. So he's pretty much like that Phil Fish guy?
@Razor, the problem with that is THQ went bankrupt. Konami is far from bankrupt. They have health clubs, pachinko (where they make their majority of revenue), mobile gaming, and a few other sources of income.
It does suck that we'll more than likely never get another Castlevania (fav Konami series) or MGS, or Silent Hill. I guess all we can hope for at the end of the day is that the original creators or art directors will leave Konami and create their own game similar to ...
Fire Emblem x Persona.
There's nothing about SMTxFE that looks remotely like a SMT game. It's too colorful and happy to be SMT.
@calvincrack
Yeah I saw it, it doesn't fix much. It improves the bond of Eli and Psycho Mantis, and does a very cop out job at explaining why Big Boss is hated by Liquid. All the stuff that was supposed to be answered is all "behind the scenes" head cannon crap.
That feel when people call proof of concept cut content. /facepalm
It's okay to say it's a bad MGS game. It's not like you're going to get death threats or something.
Finest work? You mean Snake Eater Subsistence and/or MGS 1.
Sony got nothing out of this deal what so ever. I don't know who this Johnathan Blow guy is but this game looks terrible. I've seen way better indie games made than whatever this is attempting to be. Bastion and Transistor come to mind as good examples. Inb4 artistic expression defense.
@Superblunt. I originally didn't like hearing Kiefer in Ground Zeroes , but I eventually got used to his voice. I don't dislike the voice acting in the game or lack of dialogue. I dislike the fact that we didn't get major questions of the series tied up, and that the story felt like an afterthought.
The "Story Missions" of the game just felt like Side Ops with cutscenes and credits that spoil who/what you were going to be fighting.
The c...
@Wit. Right? Shout out to Kojima's Army on the prowl.
"The game is perfect"
"Even IGN gave it a 10/10"
"Open world is the meat of the game"
"You don't play MGS for the Story"
"This is the best MGS game made"
"The ending was so powerful"
"You're not a hero Konami, you're just a villain"
"Evil Konami and their cut content"
"...
So much for them saying 2015 over and over again.
SPOILERS
It was a terrible ending and there's no way to justify answering why Big Boss was still alive in Metal Gear 2 was worth paying $60 for. We never saw the creation of Zanzibar Land or why and how Big Boss became evil.
Instead we got a terrible self insert character, which explains lack of dialogue for "Venom Snake", and an awful "twist". Then you have those idiots that try to justify the ending by saying well you know I've ...

He means we should all buy Yakuza 5 regardless of it being localized digitally. It's people that say no physical no purchase are the ones punishing everyone else.
@lucky too true. Then again 99.9% of articles on this site are click bait.
