[QUOTE=MC3craze;48790917]Really nothing could live up to the hype. Kojima really knows how to get a crowd going.[/QUOTE] Even with the hype aside, no one but the most cynical could've imagined that we literally had almost the entire gist of the game just from the trailers alone, besides [sp]how much of a monster Huey became and the matter of the Parasites, even people like YongYea accurately guessed the parasites would be plot-important, be the power of the Skulls and Quiet, and be responsible for both the zombies and the Diamond Dogs slaughter scenes.[/sp] I knew there wouldn't be a whole lot of story, but as someone put it, "We hoped there would be the trailer cutscenes and more, but what we got was arguably less of a picture than even what the trailers painted." I could handle the Mother Base being nothing more than a gimmick with minimal interaction, and I can tolerate the open world being pointlessly bland and uneventful, but even despite knowing the story wouldn't be the focus going in, it was still plot developments I saw coming five miles away when there was actually any plot in the first place. Random cutscenes on your Mother Base, or dialogues between enemy or DD troops were more amusing than the actual main story. Dare I say it, Quiet's entire subplot was barebones too but that was leaps and bounds above the main story.
The biggest problem with MGSV is that, even if it was climatic, it would still be pointless like Peace Walker. Everything we learn from PW and TPP could have been inferred from what we learn in MGS3, and we only got these games because Kojima was being forced to make the series (at the cost of his others, like ZoE). Overall, I can't be too mad at the problems of MGSV because it's a bonus to what we would have gotten had Kojima been able to stop.
I want someone to recreate the poster for Castaway with [sp]Huey.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Combine 177;48790918]Only if it were year or two more in the making.[/QUOTE] but let's be honest, if kojima had all the time and money he wanted he would've still been working on phantom pain from his deathbed. his last words would be the secret to truly dynamic horse poop rendering [editline]30th September[/editline] [video=youtube;O4mQqVqRB7I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4mQqVqRB7I[/video]
Video games have been mastered. There is no need to make more. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5qdGS1m.jpg[/t]

So what the fuck happened to OILIX anyways.
[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;48791146]So what the fuck happened to OILIX anyways.[/QUOTE] It disappeared of existence bacause of parasites and nanomachines.
Am I the only one who actually loved the [sp]jeep scene[/sp]?
[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;48791146]So what the fuck happened to OILIX anyways.[/QUOTE] Probably suppressed by the Patriots in overall continuity so that the energy and oil crisis could continue to emerge for the sake of their war economy.

[QUOTE=matt000024;48791173]Am I the only one who actually loved the [sp]jeep scene[/sp]?[/QUOTE] [sp]I thought it was great. And while Big Boss never really talks to his villains, he usually does react in some way. He just looked like he was listening to his idroid during the whole jeep ride. I think the music should be playing throughout the whole thing though instead of just coming out of nowhere. I almost synced up the music by randomly playing it during the ride.[/sp] spoilers [url]http://webm.host/de29a/vid.webm[/url]

Has anyone tried F-Ballista on enemy chopper?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48791388]but he doesn't really exhibit any supernatural powers at all aside from [sp]being able to regenerate his cells very slowly[/sp][/QUOTE] Just have a CQC fight against him or something.
[QUOTE=Amakir;48791422]Just have a CQC fight against him or something.[/QUOTE] skull face gets beaten up by an old man, hes literally a skeleton
Sahelanthropus should have been a diversionary metal gear like RAY in MGS2. The real metal gear should have been a power suit for skullface with the justification being that sahelanthropus is too big to be a conventional weapon and has too many drawbacks and that a powersuit is more practical
[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;48791468]skull face gets beaten up by an old man, hes literally a skeleton[/QUOTE] and then code talker defeats him by riding his wheelchair over the skeleton
[QUOTE=RikohZX;48791191]Probably suppressed by the Patriots in overall continuity so that the energy and oil crisis could continue to emerge for the sake of their war economy.[/QUOTE] It could be assumed that after Metal Gear 2, OILIX was successfully deployed and refueled the world. There certainly doesn't seem to be any shortage of fuel in the later games, and Snake WAS successful in retrieving it. Assuming that happened, there wouldn't really be a reason to bring it up again.
Speaking of Skull face... WHAT THE HELL Happened to him between Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain? In Ground Zeroes he was sick and fucking twisted and [sp]Makes Chico Rape Paz[/sp], now all he does that is memorial is [sp]"Such a lust for revenge....WHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO0!"[/sp]

[sp]He also says "Major, I'm burning up!" before getting stepped on.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Combine 177;48791403]Has anyone tried F-Ballista on enemy chopper?[/QUOTE] Doesn't work. (Or maybe the helicopter in mission 21 is special but I doubt it) The fulton ballista is pretty shitty honestly. They should have at least made it an AOE like the fulton CG in PW.

i am extremely disappointed at the lack of fulton fb mr-rl mk2 the description even hinted at modifications to fire specialty rounds but I GUESS NOT
