Could you have more objective good in an exclusive mission? I think n- oh wait system exclusive. They even got the theme!

Oh man. This'll either be the best thing or the worst thing. I'm leaning towards the worst because Surlaw posted:This will probably be handled terribly but I can't imagine it being worse than that drat Paz tape. I'm expecting something more along the lines of the ham handed B&B back story monologues. Wasn't the Paz tape(s) thing simply an unlockable that you get from pulling them out of AI cores? Like that's out of the spotlight compared to the themes that are going to be center stage. V Yeah I'm speaking more in general terms.

Also I'm still not convinced that Armstrong isn't simply mocking or lampooning Metal Gear Solid endbosses. That whole sequence just kept getting more and more ridiculous to the point of farce. Difference is that MGR had more responsive controls than that dumb fight on top of Rex.

Steve2911 posted:No they don't. They're terrible and we love them for it. See I wouldn't say that necessarily, the voice direction is highly competent and not meant to be taken seriously. But also because Kojima insists on directly translating the dialogue. Then you get people saying poo poo like "What's this fairy disguise?" while being straight faced.

KidDynamite posted:It's lovely criticism though. Paz isn't just there to show Skull Face is a bad dude. She doesn't break from the torture, she tries to comfort Chico, and she jumps out of the helicopter to spare them from the hidden bomb. She's not a round character at all but she does have more moments than just establishing Skull Face. You can't have every single character be round there will always be flat characters used to move the story along that's how fiction works. fivegears4reverse seems to genuinely not enjoy metal gears story or the way Kojima writes, so why keep consuming more of the same? It's really not though. Again he brought up a good point that Paz was functionally dead at the end of Peace Walker. The fact that she was used only to illustrate how much of an rear end in a top hat the new villain is smacks of bad writing. This is compounded by the fact that in the last game she was used as some weird fan-service device. It's moodwhip-lash only to show how dark things are, how high the stakes are. So when a character is used only to raise the stakes and exist as a plot device (literally something used to kickstart a plot) they've ceased being a character and become a way to cover up bad writing.

Steve2911 posted:I'm constantly surprised by people taking these stories seriously enough to debate and critique them. 90% of the enjoyment comes from how terrible, badly written and (sometimes) mean spirited they are. Well jeez this was supposed to be a more mature metal gear that took away the box. you think it would have a little more nuance put into the story.

Sigma-X posted:90% of Snake's lines were just him repeating the last two words of someone else's conversation in a surprised/inquisitive tone. The issue isn't what are his lines, the issue is that he doesn't have lines. I could probably count the number of Kiefer's lines in the main mission on one hand.

Elephant Ambush posted:It would be really nice if a single one of these complaints was, you know, new, and not the exact same copy/paste eyeroll-worthy white noise whining we've all had to endure for the past 10 years on these forums. Guess what? Nobody actually knows why they like Metal Gear. Because we all apparently take away a clusterfuck of messages away from it that either mean it's the best thing ever or a weird soap opera about war that shouldn't be taken seriously. Maybe you should wake up sheeperson.

We live in a post-racism society (or at least we will when TPP comes out!) so things like accents only serve to remind us of the differences between us. Which are bad. I might add.

Apparently Kojima is a bandage for Konami when they're haemorrhaging money. They're even trying to put him on Silent Hill and who knows how that'll go. Sad thing is that it'll probably work wonderfully. It kinda makes you wonder why Kojima isn't head of Konami already considering he makes the most money for them and is essentially the Miyamoto of Konami. Oh wait it's because the work's too good and Kojima wants to do something else.  Edit: It just seems like the goodwill from his success should allow him to do more pet projects. It's just kinda strange to me is all. Then again business practices in foreign countries are... foreign to me. So it must make sense to someone.

Gruckles posted:Playing as Ancient Snake is the hardest difficulty and turns the game back into stealth, because if you ever enter combat you're instantly destroyed by cyborgs. You have to eliminate bosses using tricks similar to sniping The End in his wheelchair to avoid their bossfights. Are you saying that Solid Snake becomes Harman Smith?

TheMaestroso posted:Which aspect of that idea doesn't make sense? I haven't read that essay, but I got the impression right away when playing that different game/story elements from the past were being brought together as a kind of culmination of the entire series (the final boss fight is a direct example of this). In MGS4 you essentially get the ipodization of war. War is a selling point with various PMCs running ads that pimp themselves out. Hell the suits the Beauty and Beast core are essentially the new hotness of the war scene. The remixing of various tropes from previous games is Kojima drawing a parallel with Konami who keep forcing him to pimp out Metal Gear with him still on board. Therefore you get the repeating of cycles within the game story because that's what sells, much like the concept of war becoming a commodity.

Harrow posted:This game seems almost impossibly ambitious. It's taking everything that was in Peace Walker and adding on the whole open world thing and the full-scale MGS story grandeur, plus all that Mother Base customization. I'm starting to wonder what the joke is. It can't possibly be this ambitious and complete, can it? I'm already too deep to think anything else.
