Which is why those accents are mysteriously gone in MGS4 got it. Whatever floats yall's boats I guess.


On another note, I am going through Horizon Zero Dawn and it's so daunting. There is just so much that I feel like the game is telling me to do. I remember goons saying that I should beeline to Meridian before doing anything else. Anything else? What are some great must have skills?

What little gameplay there is in MGS4 is very good and MGSV is great since you can just replay any mission you want. I usually end up replaying one of the two when Im in mood for MGS.


MGSV has the least personality of any 80 million dollar single player game in recent memory, at least in this console generation. Less personality than Watch_Dogs :eyepop:. It's interface and performance are cut and polished to a diamond sheen (diamonds being a timeless, quintessential social status cliché) and are ogled to and fro like a wedding rock upon many a gamer's swollen, cheeto-dusted finger. Appropriately enough it was delivered to the world under slave labor conditions. It's the poster child for Keeping Up With The Joneses videogame development, something made in a joyless vacuum, deprived of soul or human idiosyncrasy, deprived even of artistic provocation, cranked out as from a machine to upmarket standards. It's Military Entertainment Complex: The Game. It's what the people demand!

MGS V is great. I disappointed myself hyping it up more because of the marketing which made the game seem like it was going to be a lot darker than it actually was, but the gameplay was great.

I am usually one of the first to defend it's open-world gameplay. There are some missions in the game that heavily depend on the open world and a good way to see this is to actually look at some of the extra mission tasks when you replay levels. There are usually things going on that you wouldnt know about the first time through.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
After getting a PS4 I decided to try Parappa 2. It's not as good as Parappa 1 or Um Jammer Lammy but not a bad game. So many weird changes made to that game. I also decided to get the Parappa PS4 port. That is terrible compared to the original. The animation doesn't even sync up half the time the characters speak at the end of the level. I can't believe they were so lazy with that port.

I didn’t get very far into MGSV but it was my favorite MGS to play by a large margin. I wish they would’ve just made it fully open world instead of what we got.

One of these days I am going to play the MGS games. I played MGS1 two years ago and got to just after the Tank Boss before I put it down.

I think I have booted up Ground Zeroes for about 15 minutes but I was so confused and overwhelmed that I was not really sure what I was doing.

I do own the MGSV definitive edition on disc so one day I will give it another try!

Ground Zeroes is great if you’re a seasoned player but it’s kind of a front-loaded wall of difficulty. Phantom Pain is better about tutorializing you with low stakes at first.

Did you get the legacy collection? It’s the cheapest way to get 90% of the series on PS3, like it has everything except MGSV

So should I play Phantom Pain first and then Ground Zeroes? If it is more manageable that way then I have no problem doing so! I just assumed Ground Zeroes was a bit of a prologue and I would not understand as much if I did not play it.

As for the others, I am not sure. I might have them somewhere, but I cannot really concentrate on any other game right now other than "The Magnificent Odyssey of Kiryu Kazama and his Stylish Counterpart Goro Majima" :D

you can play phantom pain first, then do ground zeroes once you have your feet under you. gz feels like it was ripped out of pp anyway

No Ground Zeroes is chronologically before Phantom Pain but being more of a glorified demo gameplay wise it kinda drops you straight in it

Do not play Phantom Pain before Ground Zeroes

Ground Zeroes is literally a prequel

Manatee Cannon

yes, it takes place before phantom pain but it makes just as much sense if you play gz in the middle. there is such a thing as a flashback. you don't always start at the beginning

there is very little story in mgsv in the first place and I would absolutely prioritize what makes you more comfortable to play

Ground Zeroes comes first storywise and Phantom Pain picks up immediately after it.

If story matters to you at all, I'd go in that order, just know that yes the rest of us know it's unfair how overwhelming Ground Zeroes feels throwing you at a maximum security black ops site as your first mission.

I am still in chapter 3.

I will be playing more at Lady VGs tonight so it is possible I will get to chapter 4!

I like MSGV, have usefull and great companions and freedom about how you do the missions. My routine is to stalk a enemy base studying where to enter and what to do. But if i want I can order a pink tank and enter the base hung-ho. MGSV is easilly in my top 5 games ever.

You've got to know, to understand,
Baby, take me by my hand,

The MGSV hype was half the game for me. The Phantom Pain by Joachim Mogren.

Also I really enjoyed MGSV despite its failings. Going loud doesn't feel as good in nearly any other action game and you have so many optional gadgets and associates that the gameplay feels fresh and exciting. It's a shame it didn't use a MGS3 or 4 critical path with branches or interesting set piece open spaces between well designed stealth segments (like those found in main missions). Would have been one of the greatest.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
mgsv is true art by a master of his craft that it evokes a feeling of phantom pain from the player.

and what is art if not to make us feel. to feel alive again.

You know me, I lust for the hype so don’t worry. I mentioned it before but for some dumb reason I haven’t been pulled towards the game at all. I don’t know why. It looks so adorable and charming. I did grab the demo earlier, sucks I just missed the sale. Might have to boot it up later. PSVR content has been extremely good this year.

Well, I can certainly say that Kiwami 1 has probably one of the shortest stories of all the Yakuza games, which I felt was a good thing. Yakuza 4 and 5 could sometimes feel like bloated messes.

I loved 4, but just couldn't find the interest to see 5 through. Saejima's storyline just seemed slow and boring, and Sawamura was interesting, but the mini-games got stale pretty quick.
