No, I knew you were talking about Phantom Pain. The over world being empty has been a common criticism thus far. It sounds like you don't like the cutscenes much, having watched the prologue of MGS V and having seen MGS4 played in its entirety recently though, the cutscenes in MGS V are way better. People actually have human like demeanor when talking to one another, whereas MGS4 feels like a 8 hour stage play.

Kiefer hasn't wowed me with his performance, but his line delivery seems a lot less lazy than what Hayter has been putting out since MGS3. Hayter's best performance is still from MGS1, its been a slow trend downhill ever since.

I like Kiefer snake.

Himu · « **Reply #123 on:** August 28, 2015, 09:10:40 PM »

I've barely noticed Kiefer Snake. By the time MGS4 rolled I definitely noticed Hayter Snake because he sounded awful. Kiefer's performance isn't amazing but it's not terrible either.

The one with the eye and the finger? Yeah that one was rough. The finger was easy to get too but I ended up pushing my luck a lot and improvising a ton for the finger. Mainly a bitch because I was going for the rescue option instead of assination though.

It's actually really easy once you know their spawn locations and what you're doing.

Found a 50 minute video of the 360 version on youtube, shit looks really good. Framerate dips in the open world section I've heard, but visually it looks better than Ground Zeroes did on the 360. Last gen versions look like they weren't thrown in the gutter

Since vids on youtube get struck down really quickly, I've uploaded the footage on Daily Motion.

The entirety of the prologue is spoiled just about.

No. Not anymore. That was a "six month" thing, after that they patched them to allow the X-box/PS3 exclusive missions (Raiden/Solid Snake) to the other platform.

So like PC you can do both of them and get the Raiden/Solid Snake/Gray Fox outfits from them.

I could totally spoil the locations, but they're completely easy once you know where exactly they are. I'll give you a hint, you're going to find one of the tapes near where one initially spawns. So if you found the tape there you're good for one.

I already beat the mission. I already know where they are.

When I mean "another shake" I mean playing it over and over until I S-rank it. First time I didn't bring my sniper rifle. I already know how I'm going to handle this mission to get an S.

I found someone doing a PS3 playthrough, looked stable performance wise.

Digital Foundry has an article about the last gen versions, but its trash. Long winded as fuck with not that much tangible info, the framerate will randomly dip in the open world, doesn't dip below 20 fps though. 360 version is better during cutscenes when it comes to performance, gameplay wise they're very similar.

Comparatively, Phantom Pain on last gen runs better than most Rockstar open world games. I loved Rockstar's output last gen, but performance for all their games were sorta fucked.

There's a bajillion cassette tapes of characters talking to each other, but that isn't really the same as codec stuff from past MGS games. Still neat how you can listen to those convos during gameplay or free roaming.

MGS1 and MGS2 have the best codec stuff in the series. MGS3 was alright, but I didn't dig the support team that much. MGS4 barely had codec stuff.

Oh. I was gonna be like: You son of a bitch, tell me how you downloaded it.

I'm sitting here waiting for the ability to download it.

@Wrath: I'm glad you're enjoying it. But one thing: You can use the binocs to see which of the guards you should fulton out. This isn't a huge deal right now, but once you're hitting the limit of soliders to send back (200?) and your levels are stagnating you'll have to start to learn to hold-up->GET DOWN'ing people instead of knock-out->Fulton'ing.

Nah, I enjoy the story and characters. Codecs were also pretty fun and could be charming. The tapes aren't the same and I loathe having to actually find them just to have a semblance of story. Fuck that audio diary trend.

What really sucks is the absence of a rogue unit and it's boss battles. That is a defining MGS thing and it honestly is a big mark aginst this game for it's lack of them. Even if many of the bosses lacked importance in the story, they still usually had presence to them. Something that made them memorable. Plus, the battles themselves were pretty fun and creative.

You can listen to the tapes while in-between missions. Cruising around fultoning people to recruit and/or animals plants hunting. This means less gameplay interruptions. It's a good thing.

Honestly, I like the tapes, but I like character interaction from Codec. It was the interaction and exchanges I liked. Not too a big deal because I *do* like the tapes.

I gotta agree. I love Kojima, but that opening was so "what the fuck" that I have no clue what it was going for. I guess it's "okay" as a tutorial and trying to bridge Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain, but the whole

Blacklist was alright, muuuuch better than Conviction, but yeah: Post X-box Double Agent (NOT X-box 360 Double Agent) Splinter Cell has been kinda weak.

If anything, Blacklist was kinda lifted with Phantom Pain/Ground Zeroes' sandbox, but it's still level gameplay versus Open World gameplay.

I didn't mind the level so much. But the supernatural shit after Ground Zeroes' opening kinda flew in the face of the "serious story/tone" Kojima wanted.
