whats wrong with peace walker ?

story wise theres a lot, imo. the main thing that comes to mind is how they overdid the boss's characterization and turned her into jesus christ that is also secretly the first person to travel to space. her a.i. character felt unnecessary and seemed to be there just to rehash mgs 3's story for no good reason

The first person to travel to space part was in 3.

Also, rehashing the Boss' story with tweaks and misconceptions is the plot of every MGS game after 2, and kind of the point of the whole series.

I actually thought V was funny in how all the marketing indicated that the game would show BB's downfall from the idealist he used to be into the cynical and amoral maniac he is in the original MG games and experimenting with illegal weaponry and child soldiers and stuff while the final game had Venom going around saving children and fultoning as many people as he can and generally being kind and merciful. People are still really upset about that

I also think it's funny in retrospect that the trailers include footage from, I believe, every single cutscene in the game.

The reveal of extremely high def Big Boss in the first trailer that proudly proclaimed "Snake is BACK!" while cutting to footage of him unloading an AK on a cage of child soldiers was epic.

it was dumb to me that the marketing said "NOW youre gonna find out why big boss turned evil" in that last trailer for phantom pain

that was the plot of mgs 3, a decade ago

and as if that wasnt enough, peace walker made it even more unnecessarily obvious, with big boss straight up turning into a lunatic, saying "the boss turned her back on me" and having a villain speech after the credits.

The tapes in V are awesome, as are all of the major cutscenes. I think spacing a few hours of cinematics over 100 hours just lessens their impact compared to a game like MGS3

The tapes bored me to tears

No, it was just some boring rear end crap where theyd talk about what kind of mineral residue they found on some barrels for 20 minutes at a time. I hated it, and I'm a normal person.

MGSV also did this thing where the knockoff military vehicle designs looked better than the the real ones. Is there a reason non-authentic weapons/vehicles are used?

If you use "authentic" weapons/vehicles the patent holders can charge you licensing fees. That's why an M16 is always a different designation, because Colt would be entitled to money for the use of its likeness. Same thing with vehicles

That was the weird thing about MGS4, considering the entire story was about the evils of the ballooning war economy, and the game was also full of licensed guns.

I think since Sony paid for that one they probably just told armalite or whoever to go gently caress themselves. EA apparently does it too because they're big enough not to get bullied. Also I'm sure call of duty probably sells more guns IRL than any gun ad ever has

I assumed all the name-brand stuff like the iPod were there as commentary, like brand names in American Psycho or something, but I'm not actually sure. There's some sloppy writing in 4.
