Media Metal Gear Solid Discussion Thread (NO FIGURES /CUSTOMS JUST GAMES) SPOILERS

[ZombieRepublican]

They called him Jaeger (Hunter) cause he preyed on soldiers with his innocent child looks, in German, cause he spoke a little German.

I'm just gonna continue believing that's just his name.

I was watching Robocop and it hit me, MGSV IS Robocop. Man gets identity erased, conditioned to be a combatant, unknowingly works for someone else. Heck, both Snake and Robocop punches an object in rage when they realized who they really are.

The difference? Robocop punching the TV was at the second act and Snake punching the mirror was well, the ending. Exact same story.

 

[Snake Plissken]

You make a good comparison, but I've come to see Venom as Guts from Berserk... design wise. It's a blatant rip off.

Missing right eye, and mechanical arm.

Hmm looks like it. Has that bulky look too.

I'm saying that the story of both Robocop and MGSV plays out the same. Both don't remember who they were due to human tampering but unlike MGSV, Murphy goes on a quest to hunt down those responsible of "erasing his old identity. Murphy then faces hell for his betrayal by getting shot by the cops, Boddicker's gang and had to fight off ED-209. Wouldn't it be a much better story if 1/3 of MGSV was spent on Venom hunting down Big Boss? Facing tremendous adversaries along the way?

Nope. Rescue this. Extract that. Replay this.

That's the game I wanted to play.

I still need to know how all those 10/10 comes from. It's barely a 5.

15 years ago on PS2, it's a 10/10.

It comes across like all those third part PS2/PS3 games that try to emulate big titles with their own crappy twist on it...

Because Hideo Kojima and/or Konami.

That's really the only reason I can see it getting such huge scores...

I think because MGS V was Kojima's last game, the scores were much higher than they would've been, than if he were still around at Konami. This is the most over-hyped game I've ever played in my entire life. Every serious gaming commentator on YouTube (like SuperBunnyHop) were trashing this game, while it was getting 10/10 scores from IGN and elsewhere.

 

[Snake Plissken]

IGN has been retarded for a good decade now on reviews. You can't even trust Metacritic since it's filled with a load of 12 year old Brojimas.

 

[Solidus]

I liken the MGS V scores, to the "Heath Ledger" effect that earned TDK the high ratings it got in 2008 .

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah no kidding. I was in on the hype on that too... but nowadays? He's meh.

Hamill > the rest.

Apparently, David Hayter's former schoolmate came out with a story that he was stabbed by a girl in school(!) that might paint him the wrong way. Turns out, Dave had the classiest response to the story:

To be fair, TDK is a good film regardless, and even beyond the Ledger effect, some people still find it as such. We'll have to see if MGS V gets the same thing years down the road

Woooow...pitiful watch as the feminists try to tear apart the story though

Omi K. Gibson cosplayed as Solid Snake.... hnnnnngg

Even did Shinkawa art makeup.

 

[Dylan]

That is actually a really nice costume.

 

[FSLAR]

my Snake is Solid after that

 

[Snake Plissken]

No more Kojima MGS. I look at this as a good thing. And seeing how bad this break up was, I doubt he'll even be a producer in any future title.

Report: Hideo Kojima has officially left Konami, forming new studio | Polygon

 

[FSLAR]

Huh, guess it's finally happened.

It probably is for the best, but two questions lie. Where does Kojima go, and where does Metal Gear go?
