Old thread got the unable to view pagenumber bug so it got locked. Here's the new one where we can mourn our favorite vg series, laugh at MG Survive, cuss Konami and deliver 10,000 word posts on MGS lore. Oh, and wait for Death Stranding, whatever the gently caress that game is. https://twitter.com/ParametricPalta/status/1579727595096408065?s=20&t=Yzwcr-bDyOMOy_Q_EP2F9w

MG survive will be a better game than Death Stranding, because MG survive will have excellent gameplay, while Death Stranding will focus on Kojima's garbage storytelling

Or really justifiably uptight about male gaze in videogames but I don't think that's your tack itt.

I wonder if it would add up to an entire game if you watched an hour of MGS4 cutscenes between every MGS5 mission.

That's awesome, why are hours of bad dialogue spoken by terribly written unbelievable unrelatable characters necessary to tell this story that you told in one sentence

kojima also directed development of the game parts of the games he directed, as a game director, hth mgsurvive might turn out good and that'd be cool, but it's building on a foundation kojima directed in the first place so I dunno how it'd be any dunk on him

Motto posted:kojima also directed development of the game parts of the games he directed, as a game director, hth Considering Kojima resisted a reasonable third person camera for ages and a reasonable control scheme for even longer, I firmly believe that there are other people behind the scenes making all the good gameplay decisions and the only thing he's really contributed is "hey let's make a game where you sneak" when he made MG1

Man, if you experience emotions when you see/hear these horribly unrelateable, inhuman, shallow characters, you must be a sobbing mess any time you encounter any fiction that's not written by an autist
