Do you have a single gameplay complaint? The only thing I'm saying is stop judging the dude on the stupid stories he had to juggle into games he never planed for. MG wasnt supposed to be a series that spanned this many games and it shows.
On which game?
MGS4 is trash. It's stealth is completely garbage that brings nothing to the table. You might as well just shoot through the game at some points. Never mind it being completely easy and offering no real interesting scenarios beyond some parts in Acts 1 and 2. The entire idea of stealth on the battlefield which would have done what the jungle did in MGS3 is half assed. First, the battlefield is not in constant motion. So "no place hide" was a lie and didn't amount to anything. Also the entire "chose your faction thing" is hilariously implemented to the point that they shouldn't have even left it in. You automatically are on the milita side basically. The game never does anything intersting with the battlefield idea beyond act's assualt on a villia.
Then the game drops it for Act 3 for a very tedious "follow this dude" that goes on forever. Followed by a MGS3 retread. Act 4 then just says screw it and throws in a rudimentary stealth section. Act 5 says screw everything and gives you a room with stealth and then a hallway you run through.
All the boss battles lack imagination. First boss is run around and shoot at odd things. Gets boring after the first battle. Battle 2 is "hey the ground is falling apart, I guess you should shoot her". Boss 3 is I guess a boring stealth battle where it's just easier to run up to her and shoot her. Vamp battle is a crappy horde mode and then who knows what the fuck that "lol Psycho Mantis" thing was. None of the boss battles in MGS4 have anything going for them.
PW is complete garbage. The ai is dumb and the levels so small you can just go in a corner and shoot the guards. Or just run up to them and cqc. Thoughtful stealth? Forget about it. The boss battles are so annoyingly shitty. They take forever to kill on solo play. They aren't hard. Since they lack anything creative about them, it's just you shooting rockets and then waiting for more ammo. Have fun repeating that for like 10 mins plus. of course you could level up your weapons buy replaying the missions over and over. Grinding! Yay. Grind through the most braindead stealth missions ever.
Terrible game. Kojima's last two games have been terrible in story and gameplay.
In this thread also, not a single gameplay complain it's always "BUT THE STORY" the hell guys?
Actually I mentioned that Kojima has lacked those really interesting interactive moments in his last few games.
Also the guy went into MGS2 saying it's going to be his last, that's the first time I remember him saying he wanted to stop, but it's clear the he was pressured into turning it into a franchise as of MGS2 and never allowed to hand it off. You think that's how he wanted to end it if it was his supposed last? MGS is a more convincing end with all the return chars finishing their stories.
How? MGS ends with them revealing there is in fact another clone and that Ocelot is up too far more then he let on. MGS1 ends on a cliffhanger. If anything MGS2 seems to be his most personal game.
