That look so cool! But I don't have enough money for that.
[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;47527335]There wasn't much about The Boss to ruin. She was a stoic, emotionless woman who went on a suicide mission for the US. How did Peace Walker even ruin her? By having an AI very slightly based on The Boss's personality?
The rest are valid complaints, though. Hot Coldman was just awful.[/QUOTE]
She isn't meant to be a full character, just motivation for snake / a plot device. By ruining her character they expanded on her too much. And as a result they ruined mgs3
it also doesn't matter what character she was when the plot of the game is about a magic machine in the 70's that was a perfect clone of a woman so a different woman could ask her a bunch of questions culminates in a giant robot singing a sesame street song we've gone off the deep end

And that's the sign of a bad character. Snake went on and on about how much she meant to him, and we barely even see that in the Virtuous Mission. That's really my main problem with The Boss, she wasn't developed enough, at least not until her final cutscenes in Rokovoj Bereg, and she's essentially a walking plot device for 90% of the game.
I just wish there was a game that was [i]like[/i] Peace Walker, but took itself a bit more seriously, had better graphics and cut-scenes, and had a better story. Maybe it could even tie in a bit more with the Solid Snake saga. It would be pretty cool to also be able to actually walk around your motherbase and maybe be able to customize it. Plus larger levels with less time spent in menus. And the player could be able to use vehicles as well as on the ground sneaking missions. And have a really awesome multiplayer features.
Now [i]that[/i] would be the perfect MGS game.
Oh wait...
What I'm trying to get at is PW just retconned MGS3 rather than move the plot forward. BB could've moved on from The Boss if he just decided living in her shadow was holding him back. Not "I need a robot reincarnation of this paper thin characters to help me reverse all my decisions of the previous game".

Yeah, there's a lot of [I]I need scissors! 61![/I] going on in PW. I kinda feel like the whole thing is just a weird day-dream Big Boss had with only certain aspects of the plot being reality.

I just wish there was a game [i]like[/i] MGS5, but took itself less seriously, had good controls, no health regeneration, unlimited inventory, a good alert system, consistent enemy detection, snappier movement, and actual codec conversations.
[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;47524264]Yeah it's called Peace Walker. I know people will rate me dumb and I don't really care. PW sucked ass.[/QUOTE]
Wrong the worse Metal Gear game is Portable Ops
I'm wondering would it be worth it to buy TPP just for the sake of multiplayer? I mean, for some weird reason I prefer watching people play story mode instead of playing it myself but I imagine multiplayer will be really interesting.

Except Ground Zeroes has good controls, and the game is still hard even with health regen?
I get that having movement tied to animation unlike the older games, where you sort of just glided along and could turn on the dime, makes things a bit clunky, especially with a keyboard and mouse, but I don't find the movement bad. Sure, there's no roll, but I got used to that pretty quickly.

The lifespan for MGO games has never been that long. Hopefully the pc version will be able to have their own servers so we can keep playing if Konami shuts down their servers a year later.

Is there a specific reason MGO doesn't last? From all the stuff I see on it it honestly looks great.

Konami is poor as shit and can't keep the servers up, because the only source of revenue between Metal Gear games are terrible 3D Castlevania games and DDR.
Kojima tweeted.

Doesn't Konami make tons of money from Pachinko machines?
[QUOTE=Amakir;47537513]Doesn't Konami make tons of money from Pachinko machines?[/QUOTE]
Well, western revenue.
[QUOTE=Amakir;47537513]Doesn't Konami make tons of money from Pachinko machines?[/QUOTE]
i would assume that's a different division, and that they aren't exactly keen on shoveling that division's profits into their video game division, unless maybe they're expecting huge profits (like with TPP)
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47535789]peace walker's psp controls were actually really good considering the hardware they were working with[/QUOTE]
The controls weren't the main problem with the gameplay. The problem was the ridiculous loading times, and also the really weird grinding the the PSP made during it.
I wont believe it's actually Kojima tweeting until I see a sunset picture or a picture of his food.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;47538430]He's been retweeting a lot of Konami and MGS stuff as well, makes me think their internal ruse has setteled[/QUOTE]
Or since he's still on contract and actually liked making the game he still wants it to do well.

I dunno, I find it doubtful that they'd fake a TED talk to promote their game, but the resemblanceis uncanny

Kojima is the greatest ruseman who ever walked this earth.
