i am the biggest idiot in the world

Spoiler:

I'm sure I did the same thing because I was bricking it

[RealGunner]

I don't even know what I have to do? beat him or sneak past him lol?

ah well. Rage quit in the end. Can't concentrate due to 3 hour sleep.


btw Sahelanthropus is ridiculous. Amazing design. Skull face is a GOAT villain

tells you to hide from it until your chopper can come extract you, ragequiting at that part

prepare for real rage later then

3 hrs sleep? ffs you addict

[Firenze]

I won't spoil or anything, won't even mention ending details until both of you have finished it

but I'm currently sitting through the end credits, think I messed up, had important side ops to start but I thought they would take me to the end missions, because other important side ops have led to legit missions starting before

so I decided to do the single regular mission I had available first, turns out it was the final mission

hope I can still do those important side ops

make sure you do the side ops first always IMO

[RealGunner]

How does that work out? shouldn't it force you to do the side ops first in that case?

I always do side ops first anyways. That's why I am only on mission 12 after 5 days


But if it was the final mission, were you shocked, disappointed or was it a satisfying ending?

smh I missed out because i was admiring it so much.

Nah just couldn't sleep till like 9am

[Kaladin]

HOLY SHIT

RG don't open

Spoiler:

btw fire whats the last mission #? i get the feeling that i'm close

[Firenze]

you can still play as usual after the 'final mission' I have a feeling these side ops will lead to a 'final showdown' if you know what I mean though, yeah the 'final mission' was alright, the pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place for me before it though so I wasn't that shocked.

HOLY SHIT

RG don't open

think fans of the series will be satisfied if this is the final game though, seemingly ties everything together nicely (admittedly from the limited history and events I know of the series)

[RealGunner]

From what I've read, people are blowing it over proportion. The main gripes seems to come over side characters lack of closure rather than the main story itself.

Opinion seems to be divided.

I guess people were expecting way too much from the story. Atm I have no problem with it. At the point I am, story is going as well as it could be.

[RealGunner]

Just a Yes or No question.


Does it at least tell you why Big Boss turned into a villain?

[Firenze]

that makes sense

remember that mission '51' that got cut? that you mentioned is partially on youtube

apparently that was a huge part of the game that tied up the side characters story and would have been in an entirely new area

seems so stupid to cut one mission from the game, especially the 'true intended ending of Kojima' think it was out of spite tbh, should have given him an extra few weeks/month to finish it

[Firenze]

Just a Yes or No question.

maybe

[RealGunner]

As much as i would like to blame Konami, Kojima was taking far far too long to finish the game. He is a perfectionist and wants to do every single thing 10/10. Which means he speant hundreds of hours on the right music, which he didn't even use in the end. Game went over-budget and konami had to release GZ to make up money

But it's actually not the first MGS game which had content cut. MGS1 had content removed, MGS2 had big stuff cut off which caused a lot of controversy back in the days.

Kojima wanted a completely different ending to MGS4 which didn't go through (THANK *bleep* for that because I would have destroyed my ps3 if it ended the way he wanted).


In oppose to that MGS5 actually is the first MGS to only cut one mission/scene. But reading from non spoiler sources. They cut off stuff which had impact on MGS1. That's why people are pissed off. But I don't see a big problem in that because this game is about Big Boss, and not side characters. It's his journey from PW to MGS1, not someone else's. That even includes his sons.

Kojima has never completed a game where he gives everyone 2+2=4.

[RealGunner]

Just a Yes or No question.

Spoiler:

[Firenze]

current mission isn't even funny

come close to doing it a few times I think, everything can 1 shot you from 500 miles away with 100% accuracy, died like 30 times

I feel sick

[Firenze]

now that I think about it more, that cut content decision is straight up ridiculous and ruins the entire second half of the game

the story in the first act is quality and feels like a legit ending

but the second half of the game all builds towards the mission that was obviously cut, so you're left with a sense of no resolution (although some of the missions in the second part are among the best moments in the game)

think that's why people are pissed off

overall IMO;

gameplay: 9.5/10. so much replayability, looking forward to MGO too

story:  8 (in the first half) 4.5 (second half)

the good thing is that all of the iconic characters throughout the series have their history tied up for fans via cassette's, I'm sure you will be     at some of them

[Kaladin]

hnng

everything makes sense now

[RealGunner]

What's your view on the ending ES?




smh still sneaking around Megas XLR

[Firenze]

there are numerous times the credits roll in the game btw, I guess to signify the ending to each of the major plot lines (dunno if this is a normal thing in the series), I enjoyed them all..just disappointed that one was cut when it was the main focus of half of the game.

really, really enjoyed Quiet's story though. Fav character in the game.

[Firenze]

sold 3 million copies apparently first week

If it follows MGS4, then it will end up being one of the most sold games (specially since it's on all platforms



minus wii U


is mole back from Ipswich from holiday yet?
