7 Years Later, There Is No Stealth Game Like Metal Gear Solid 5

Ойындар

A fragmentary, misunderstood masterpiece, meticulously crafted and laced with imperfection; a narrative half-resolved, a broken ouroboros. However its framed, the waves of post-release critique surrounding the ninth and final instalment of Kojima Productions’ techno-stealth thriller series often describes the game as brilliant despite it finding new and creative ways to dumbfound its audience, recontextualise plotlines and retcon character arcs along the way. These points of view are largely at odds with Metal Gear Solid V’s near-universally perfect review scores. For the most part, reviewers praise The Phantom Pain’s immersive open world, its innovative gameplay fostering player freedom.
This feature isn’t an attempt to demystify MGSV’s discombobulating narrative though; there’re already plenty of feature length analyses and series-spanning deep dives dissecting Metal Gear’s tapestried narrative floating round the internet. No, instead, this feature places MGSV’s prowess as a stealth title firmly between the crosshairs, taking aim at the strengths propping Big Boss aka Venom Snake’s final foray as the zenith of stealth games. So, let’s get started.

    There’s a mission where you have to steal intel from a base to find out where the next patrol is coming in. If you already know where they are you can skip the camp entirely and place your horse in the road where they’re coming from to make them stop. Blowing up the whole convoy with mines while they’re trying to shoe away your horse. That mission blew my mind. You can “break” the missions and they’d reward you with the highest grade for doing that. Other games just aren’t designed like metal gear games are. Also Quiet is a masterpiece of an AI partner.

    The possibilities were endless, I was doing things like planting C4 on vehicles driving towards the enemies and jumping out, all the enemies would approach the vehicle to investigate and I'd trigger the C4 and go another direction into the mission! Or using a flution on a container and escaping a mission quickly...😄

    Even early on when your mission is to destroy the comms equipment, you can do so beforehand in free roam. Then when you start the actual mission, about 30 seconds in Miller will tell you your objective only for Ocelot to interject saying its already done. Miller pauses and awkwardly says "Oh. Uh...good work boss, mission complete." and the mission literally ends then and there.

    As a person who isn't that deep into the MGS franchise, basically only playing MGS1, 2, and 3, but only ever beating MGS3, MGSV is one of my favorite games of all time. It's my favorite MGS game for sure. Just the amount of creative freedom and how interesting the AI works and how some of the levels and missions are set, the base management and silly things you could do, I've never encountered another game as satisfying to play as it. Hell, on PC, there are even mods that add to that replayability. And despite how much shit the story got, I actually really enjoyed it. It did feel unfinished, but it was still very compelling. Not as good as MGS3, but all it's other qualities make up for it. I know I'm in the minority, but I can't lie to myself and deny just how much I enjoyed it.

    This game has grown to be my favorite in the entire series and Metal Gear Solid is my favorite series of all time. I didn't feel that way when it was released all the talk of it being unfinished really took away from how I viewed the game. However years later diving back in I realized the genius of it with "never game over" and "we are all Snake" being the theme of the entire game. The game is so layered that it's easy to miss upon first glance. You have to really dig into its world find all the tapes, listen to guards at different times of the day and different locations, and piece everything together to yourself. Every other Metal Gear had all of its story elements laid out right in front of you as convoluted as they may be. Mgs5 completely stripped this method away and tell us it's story in a way that even if you come back to this game years later if you're paying attention you'll almost always find something new. I love that I can dive back into this game at any time and tackle missions completely differently than I ever have and find new content it is tucked away all over MGSV's world. I understand now that this game truly was a parting gift from Kojima to his fans. Something that we could play for years and still find something new hence "never be game over".

    In term of stealth mechanics and freedom (down to passing of time, waiting for the night etc.) the game was such a huge step forward for the series and stealth genre in general. The mission design was very repetitive, however, it lacked proper "camps", "bases", industrial complexes - like those in the previous entries or Ground Zeroes. And the unfinished plot.. yeah. Still, a fantastic game I wish other developers would flat out copy ideas from.

    Finally a comment that makes sense. Everyone else in the comments is sucking off mgs5 but not realizing its true flaws like you mentioned. I got platinum on mgsv and I totally understand what you’re feeling. If I’m being honest, I reloaded ground zeroes recently and that experience is way more fun in terms of re-playability than phantom pain. The story was pretty terrible too. I believe the early leaks were the reason for the story being unfinished and, to be honest pretty shitty. AND THEN, They fired David Hayter…THEN Kojima. This game was realistically a major shit show. lol

    There is always a lot to say about MGS V, but when it comes to the qualities of the game, there is a thing we almost never speak about and which is for me one of his biggest achievement: optimization and stability. I played the game on PS3 and PS4. In both cases, the game was flawless in this area: no crash, no bug, no drastic FPS loss (or never enough to be noticed), etc. Despite the challenges, the internal tensions and the few corners they had to cut to release the game, Kojima Productions never made any compromise on confort and "QC" in general, no matter the support (in my experience anyway). Some would say that it's a miracle knowing the context, but no, it's just what happens when a studio really care about his product and his public. I think we should talk more about that, because a lot of people don't see or appreciate the gesture and still considers MGS V as a "failure". They couldn't be more wrong from my point of view, and some recent release showed us what a "non finish" game really was.

Everything needs to work consistently. From human movement, to gun handling, to vehicle handling. P.S.: And the sound part!

When you play mgs and find silly things it is like you are chillin with the developers and getting a nudge and wink.

    This game is the one which made me happy to come back to video gaming, after i almost never played since my master system and arcade wanders in the early 90's :(()) in 2017 I decided to a buy a PS4 because what I was looking at the beauty of games like Witcher 3, Horizon, that got my attention on this media again. Phantom Pain's gameplay is so precise and perfect I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on it, redoing all missions to get an S+ on each of them, trying different approaches. I really didn't care that much about the story which I absolutely had no cue on haha (because I never played a MGS game before this one) but I loved everything else so much about the game, the little trics and alternate use of some equipments you can do to fulfill the missions, and the feeling of stealth is amazing. Some missions are crazy like Where do bees sleep?, Cloaked in silence, Code talker being my favorites. Simply my favorite of all time!

    I really enjoyed Death Stranding, both as a game and as a weird, surrealist narrative experiment. MGSV wasn't the narrative masterpiece that Death Stranding was, but as a game, it's a clear culmination of 20-odd years of honing a single genre. To this day, I've never played a game that operated as smoothly, or felt as intuitive to play. I never felt like there was a right way and a wrong way to play it, never felt like I was searching for the one trick the game wanted me to use. In that way, MGSV has ruined me for other games. Every time I find myself trying things that should work, but don't, because the game wants me to use one specific trick or tool or technique for a specific problem, I think to myself, "Kojima wouldn't play me like that. He'd want me to be creative."

    The prequel is superb, but Ragnarok turned out to be complete shit as a result of Sweet Baby Inc's interference. The almighty Tyr, a powerful god with immense power, a true dissident who went against TPTB, turns out to be a weak and pathetic character who's afraid of his own shadow.. Artreus' revolt against his fathers ways is just whiny and pathetic, they could've done it in a more righteous sense but they intentionally went with the spoiled brat attitude. For those who haven't played it, I cannot stress just how annoying he is. Freya's outburst could've been directed in a far better way, but instead they made her seem like a mental case. Kratos is becoming old and weak, he isn't a God of War anymore. Artreus' girlfriend? A "norse goddess" LMAO.
