I had never played a MGS game before but I put 120 hours into V

smdh will not knowing there was already a re1 remaster years ago that basically updated the game to 360/ps3 era graphics but not changing the gameplay too much overall except for extra content

it might have even been xbox/ps2 era graphics but still a big jump from the original ps1 shite

it came out like a month after 9/11 and yet pretty much predicts a terror attack on nyc and how it would break the world. unless kojima knew something we didn't know :tinfoil:

not quite that much time, but yeah, I didn't do much of the story missions, I just did the repeatable missions over and over because I like sneaking around and being army man more than I care about the dumb story.

Metal Gear Survive, the one where you are teleported to a land where everybody has boners coming out of their skulls and you have to set up chain link fence and poke at the boners with a stick to stop them is the only canon MGS game.

There's a pretty good theory that the "storytelling chops" were never really Kojima. There's someone named Tomokazu Fukushima who's credited for writing on 1-3, Ghost Babel, and the Ac!d games, and then disappeared. So MGS4 was the first time he wasn't involved.

Oh yeah, the guy who wrote the Ac!d games, clearly that's the dude with the loving skills. We all know about the compelling plots and memorable characters of Metal Gear Ac!d and Metal Gear Ac!d 2. Clearly the guy behind those loving masterclasses of video game writing was the guy bringing it all to the table in Metal Gear Solids 1-3.

They're decently written but nobody played them because of the card game thing, HTH

Kojima's a good big ideas guy, but he can't write a character.

It's okay cuz I think at the end of it all you just you know you sign a petition and that fixes all your personal problems. see working in the system worked it's all fine in the end. God the ending in Persona 5 is just a loving sad sad wet fart

To be fair the thing that actually gets you out of prison is the group finding the woman who the bad guy originally assaulted and convincing her to testify on what actually happened. The petition scene is just one dude (who throughout the game was portrayed as a loser) doing something. Although it was dumb still especially with one character coming out of their entire experience with "I wanna be a cop and change the system from the inside!"

Between those two things you turn yourself in to the police because they'd frame you and all of your friends otherwise, and then you go to jail for a couple months while your friends all do stuff to work within the system to try and get you out.
