I will never call any MGS "bad" or "the worst" because together they make one great tapestry.

Plot wise I think of it as a weird ambitious spinoff focusing on secondary and background characters, 3xploring what it's like to be a pawn of the crazy MGS power games (or a pawn of a pawn I guess) with some interesting backstory stuff about Zero and BB. Like Kojima says it's not MGS5 it's MGS Vee.

If you don't buy that I can see why you'd just hate it to be fair

I bought a PS3 pretty much just to play all the games for the first time in the Legacy Collection.

I did this, playing all of them during Metal Gear July 2015, and it was such good gaming.

some segments where we switched to the real big boss wouldnt have hurt. maybe the twist couldve been revealed halfway and we could switch between big boss in setting up outer heaven in africa and venom creating distractions in Afghanistan. That way we could tangibly see the efforts big boss was putting into the base where one of the major points of the entire series took place. Plus its just that there was so much potential for filling out big boss story in africa in the 1980s because a lot of cool things happened there with him at that time. The fact that they skipped over all that stuff, while an interesting take, is ultimately a let down. For me at least. The gameplay is great but without a really good story connecting it all it starts to feel repetitive.
this would've been great. I still wish it had ended with the player switching to Solid Snake and invading Mother Base and coming up against the finest soldiers and defenses you've built up

You cant just shrug off this games problems with "yeah it wasnt PERFECT, but hey what game is?" or whatever the gently caress. the game has serious problems. Kojima was not allowed to work on the game towards the end. Yeah the gameplay is fun at first but even that gets old eventually. As the conclusion of the metal gear series it's seriously lacking in the story department, which is a huge, huge part of the metal gear experience, and that cant just be swept under the rug

edit: after taking my klonopin i have realized that we agree to disagree, and everyone has opinions their entitled to.

Does RC break character for anything other than metal gear

The Fury is really annoying sometimes but I love him so much. I guess he fit in better when the game was meant to have more stuff to do w cosmonauts and that sort of thing buy as it is he's just thjas random dude whos insanely angry because he went to space once. And the flaming skull thing
