Even though the PS3 still had pressure sensitive buttons I wanna say they took them out because of the Xbox 360 version. The PS3 version has the pressure sensitivity still. I keep the ol' PS triple around just for that game and MGS4.

Welp, I guess I'm sold on finally playing Ground Zeros, which I have in my library that I haven't touched. And then I'll likely get MGSV proper during the upcoming March sale. Edit: this is the one with Kiefer Sutherland as Snake, right?

GZ is a lovely little game if you're interested in a sandbox-y MGS base infiltration and loving around with guards. MGSV is then that but with a really great variety of bases spread out over a big open world.

I'd prob go for 6 and it should work just fine. I'm officially done using windows on the deck. It's clunky. It's slow. Its fuckin annoying if you don't boot into it every day with all the updates and poo poo. I have a real windows handheld if I want to play the few windows games that the deck can't run. Windows really blows on portable machines.

I’m not trying to be too hyperbolic or anything but MGSV is probably in my top… 2??? games ever in terms of actual fun gameplay. The sandbox you get to play around in to complete missions is joyous that I couldn’t believe it. It’s light years ahead of the other games in the series in terms of being accessible and immediately fun and there really hasn’t been much to match it since it released. It also still looks great, the Fox engine was one of those masterpieces of engine design that meant you could get incredible results on hardware as weak as the original PS3. I think about it all the time, the story ends up being a complete mess but I could play around in that sandbox forever. The few subsistence missions in the game are genuine gaming nirvana for me.

I think about it all the time, the story ends up being a complete mess but I could play around in that sandbox forever. The few subsistence missions in the game are genuine gaming nirvana for me. I sincerely appreciate this post, thank you. See, I absolutely adore MGS3 (Subsistence). I love the sneaking, I love the goofiness, but my favourite aspect is actually the sniper battle with The End. I realize I might not get that with any other game ever, but hey, I don't hold that against other games. I also love the little things, like how killing a food or ammo supply depot means that the next few screens are going to involve hungry or out-of-ammo enemies. I think I love MGS3 so much that I've been so reluctant to try 5, as if it's spoil my love for 3 somehow, OR me just assuming that it won't be better, so why bother? Another very minor reason why I haven't tried it yet is because I only got a new gaming setup last year (and then later on, my deck). None of my older laptops (or my mac,  ) would have been able to handle it. And I only had a Switch for a console, so I couldn't play it that way, either. But these reasons are either dumb or not applicable anymore and I fully expect to come back here spouting my love of 5 very soon. Well, I only have Ground Zeros for now, but still... So, thank you all again; it's actually very nice to hear such high praise from people who (likely?) totally get why I love 3 so much. I've never played 4, and only played 1 and 2 a couple times each. Been through 3 numerous times.

MGSV is a game of contrasts. On the one hand, the deepest and most satisfying stealth gameplay ever made. On the other, a story that doesn't flow well or stick the landing and a mostly barren open-world.

Yeah MGS5 is the best sneaking game I've ever played and I still get hankering to replay. The story is awesome actually because it doesn't get in the way if you just want to play the game, and is full of neat ideas and moments if you want to get into it. And the only disappointing thing is knowing there could be more but won't be. The game's fine as is.

About the only thing I'd like to see it do better is encounters with super powered weirdos - we get a handful (and some of those missions are great) but it's not a patch on the boss battles of MGS1 or MGS3. If someone managed to put Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis / enemy army system into MGSV's engine (with the potential for random superpowers to be awakened in random soldiers if certain events occur) I might not need another game ever again.

I don't know about stripping the online elements out, but there's one Cheat Engine table online still mostly works. You can have infinite GMP, add resources (except for common minerals I think), have infinite ammo and supressor, no recoil, etc. Setting combat deployments to be instant is actually a mod on the Nexus, though. Despite loving MGS5 I didn't care even a little bit about the online parts though I can see after playing Death Stranding what were they trying to do. I wish I could disable them entirely, too.

The good news is the number of "unsupported" games that actually work brilliantly far outweighs the number of verified ones that don't!

I dove into cyberpunk last night. Mostly it runs great after I dialed down the deck preset a bit, but when the action gets heavy, the audio really starts crackling. Anyone know of a fix for that? Also it was really cool to be able to turn on the gyro controls and just have them magically work. Also also, valves solution. If only having gyro active when you are resting your thumbs on the thumb sticks is pure genius. No “reset view” button needed

No “reset view” button needed It's an absolute game-changer and I hate that every other console doesn't have the feature built in at the system settings. it makes the PS5 controller and especially the Series X, which has no gyro at all, feel ancient.

I got about 80 hours of GOAT-tier gameplay out of MGSV. I thought the game part of it was incredible. My experience with it as a total package is soured by 30-60 minutes of story bits and pieces at the very end of the game, plus that Quiet cutscene somewhere in the middle - which I consider one of the worst things this medium has ever produced and should lead to every copy of MGSV auto deleting itself out of embarrassment. But to play it? I think it's by far the most fun and engaging open world sandbox that's ever been made. It's fun as hell to just toy around in that space.

Ok, so I remember some sort of controversy about Quiet back when this game came out but I avoided reading anything about the game at all. I do that for games that I can't, at the time, play whatsoever. It helps avoid fomo, since I'll just want to play it more. So I gotta ask, what are you referring to? I don't care about spoilers.
