Survive should have been 19.99 or 29.99, I think that given the content the price point is too close to standard retail to seem like a great value. Especially the way the endgame content is time gated since it seems a lot of the best stuff is from the solo base defense. Finding a game at peak hours isn't the worst I've seen but it can seem impossible in the morning or late at night. Matchmaking also sucks because you're stuck at a screen and can't even gently caress around with your loadout in the staging area. I really enjoy the gameplay but Survive has its share of problems. Way better than the multiplayer in mgsv though, that was easily the worst its been. Hopefully they add a bunch of wacky equipment and cosmetics or I'll be bored in a month.

MGS5 multiplayer makes me so mad because it seems like it would have been SO EASY to allow for free roam Dark Souls style invasions. Like you open that up once you get the wormhole tech. Imagine just rolling through some outposts listening to Final Countdown on your iPod and XOF Soldier xxxSomeAssholexxx has invaded! FOB invasions are basically the same thing. The pieces were already there. If Survive had that, I'd buy. Look Sir Droids fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Mar 1, 2018 |

The first AC!D was so awesome that it's one of the only games I ever lost sleep over. I would go to bed thinking about it and eventually just get up in the middle of the night and play it lol it was insane.

CJacobs posted:edit: Remember all of the doomsaying about Rising back in the day? "Kojima didn't have very much involvement with Rising so it's going to be bad. This game is NOT a metal gear game" etc etc. It's the same poo poo over and over again. I mean, this excludes the part where the kojima-less team ended up going vastly overbudget with an unfinished confused game, and needed to be picked up and salvaged by Platinum.

Acid was really cool. I remember there was some weird gimmick in either 1 or 2 where you could put a cardboard thing on your psp and get some kind of cheap 3d goggles, but it didn't work because I had a PSP GO. The PSP was honestly a really cool system; it had a lot of neat games including those as well as Peace Walker, of course. Portable Ops I never played; was it any good?

Look Sir Droids posted:Youtubers probably don't care anymore already because that's not going to get them clicks. This is likely my biggest grievance. It will be settled sometime this month when I get a chance to see how (in)substantial the upcoming rescue mission type is. But if it turns up something pretty good, it will be a massive bummer that what amounts to an MGS5 funtime expandalone that could have included any zany gametype/idea from the entire franchise without impacting any of the fan's precious canon won't see any of it beyond a silly rex/ray vanity headpiece. Anyway, I still got my 30$ worth already. Maybe something strange will happen and we'll actually see a year's worth of new content before Konami finally gives up on the thing. Maybe there's hope audiences look past the brand and actually invests in the only super fun survival game on the market. Right?

Its only shortcoming for me is it’s a bit too short. I love the writing and characters in it and think it’s some of the best of any Metal Gear.

Portable Ops has a bad story and rough controls, but it's still very fun and was the origin of capturing soldiers to assemble your team in Peace Walker. Portable Ops Plus rips out the story and instead adds enormous amounts of missions, items, and good multiplayer. E: TMNT is weird because it plays like if a platinum game had its difficulty ripped out by the throat and score system flattened. It really hammers how integral having a finely tuned scoring system is to their games.

Objectively I agree, MGR is definitely not Bayo 2 or even 1, but subjectively it's probably my favorite Platinum game. There's something about seeing another developer actually get Metal Gear and manage to augment it with their own brand of craziness into something special.

Terminally Bored posted:man, mgs fans are the whiniest bunch of gamers I've ever seen. Konami closes down the KJP, cuts the last metal gear game before it's done and then releases a last grasp for cash before the MGS trademark loses its value and they still go 'waaah but Kojima'. Be consumers, dammit, pay for that survival zombie poo poo and be glad you could. You should try it when you calm down

I like Survive but there's some things that would make it objectively better with zero additional effort. For example, the campaign only has one proper boss, and an additional boss you fight in a defense thing (though it's a cool one spanning your base you've built over the last 15 hours so at least it's a good one). However once you get the credit roll new bonus bosses appear around the world! They could have easily been put in the campaign (with a higher level version in the postgame if needed) but they simply weren't. Similarly, there's a lot of enemy types including various weird monsters, so there's no reason that you only see basic zombies for, like, six hours of gameplay. Sure, the player early on lacks resources to deal with the flying creatures or mortars, but you could have maybe put some armored guys in or whatever. In both cases the hard work (designing, animating, and implementing a creature) has already been done; they just... don't show up. And that's true for far too long. The spider ruin is a great horror moment, though, and I'm glad they didn't show up until then. Once they do though, put them out in the world! Why not? That's how some of the other enemies are handled! Lots of games start strong and end weak, since they know players often don't finish. I've never before seen a game that starts weak and ends strong. Bizarre

All I need to get full enjoyment out of MGS is fighting those optional super bosses. One showed up at double my level and that was it. I got new toys to try out now.

Here's my hot take: Metal Gear Survive is more a game you need to invest time in. Bad for reviewers to play, but if you got time to kill it sure does the job well.

So much of the rest are “Go take out a mook. Go rescue someone. Take out a different mook.” The unevenness is probably related to my experience of the game getting easier in later missions, rather than the difficulty increasing.

Had the enemy evolution gone much further than "blow up bases with your away team to remove their armor" it would have done a lot to help even out the difficulty cliff. Other modern stealth games gave enemies thermal tracking, drones, etc to counteract your power creep but it didn't feel like that happened in MGSV.

I'm slowly playing through MGS3, just got to Graniny Gorki where all the scientists have a hive-mind and if one of them sees you, then another scientist in another room is instantly running towards an alarm panel. Oh, also the scientists see right through your lab coat disguise. Gonna be a crowded river, boys.

Is it safe to just say that MGS3 as a whole is the best in the series? The story is self-contained enough that anyone can pick it up and play, and the weeaboo tropes, while still present, are somewhat minimal. The story is very grounded, relative to the rest of the series. I also love the camo system and thought the octo version in MGS4 took that idea and made things easier, in a bad way. And the boss fights... oooooh the boss fights

No, MGS2 is the best in the series. The camo system in 3 never added anything but another step you take when you enter an area, since you always just pick the best one and there always IS a best one. 2 has Raiden, and the best soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hkqqZx2rTE

MGS 1 is the best, even though it does everything it does worse than all the rest of the games do it. That game ate my life when it came out, none of the other games, for all their hype and quality did the same.
