Metal gear solid v reviews are in, I can't hold that many tens - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Rossy167;48529683]Undoubtedly this is an amazing game but numbers mean little and, more importantly, I have no respect for the vast majority of these sites. I'll wait for people I do respect like TB and SBH to talk about it. Having said that I'm absolutely buying this game holy shit hype![/QUOTE] It's made by Kojima, it's going to be great. I'm not worried about that.

[QUOTE=Grandzeit;48528308]GTA5 on consoles had purely 10s as well, and that didn't hold my interest for too long.[/QUOTE] Imo it was overrated

[QUOTE=proch;48529784]Imo it was overrated[/QUOTE] Imo it was well deserved. Not only is it amazing that they managed to stuff it in last gen, the game itself was really fun for me. Sure, it had some problems but overall they were nothing major and as far as games go, V deserves the spot in hall of fame(or ratings).

[QUOTE=Jon MadN;48526824]I don't doubt MGSV being way better than 4, but 4 also got these kinda scores and wasn't even that good[/QUOTE] But are you looking at this from an unbiased viewpoint? MGS4 was my first MGS game and I loved every minute of it, whereas now that I've gone through MGS 1, 2, and a bit of 3, it feels lesser, but only after playing those. On its own, it's a pretty good game, with my biggest complaint being the year long cutscenes near the end, but long segments of cutscenes are a MGS tradition by this point so that doesn't even matter much.

A [del]weapon[/del]game to surpass [del]Metal Gear[/del] Half-Life's game score?

I read the thread title as "I can't hold that many tears" and was expecting to read that Konami execs somehow completely fucked up the game.

If not for the name or the company behind it, it probably wouldn't have achieved those scores

I personally disagree with most of your points, which in my biased opinion makes the game worthy of 10. Same thing will probably happen with MGSV, it caters to certain tastes very well.

[QUOTE=elowin;48529995]there's no such thing as an unbiased viewpoint don't exist Personally I think MGS4 is the best in the series, and I doubt TPP will change that tbh.[/QUOTE] I know its a very subjective thing but... Really? MGS4? Sure it has stellar gameplay, but not much else is delivered perfectly enough to warrant it the best. At least you didn't say PW...

[QUOTE=TornadoAP;48528461]Fuck it, I'm just going to wait for Angry Joe to give me an actual fucking number.[/QUOTE] Didn't Angry Joe complain about how Ground Zeroes expects you to know the story and characters from previous games? Not trusting him. [editline]24th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=kweh;48530551]I know its a very subjective thing but... Really? MGS4?

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48530832]Peace Walker is leagues better than MGS4.[/QUOTE] It's literaly kawaii bullshit vs awkward teen hour bosses imo MGS3 as best

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48530832]Peace Walker is leagues better than MGS4.[/QUOTE] Peace Walker's bosses were the biggest crock of shit ever.

In my opinion, The End is still the boss fight ever, the fact he can die of old age if you're completely incompetent is funny as hell too.

the fact that major news outlets and reviewers for games let themselves succumb to hype is one of the things still totally fucked in this industry

[QUOTE=Bokito;48530939]Peace Walker's bosses were the biggest crock of shit ever.[/QUOTE] Most definitely, but the BnB's weren't much better.

[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;48530970]the fact that major news outlets and reviewers for games let themselves succumb to hype is one of the things still totally fucked in this industry[/QUOTE] When did that happen? It's either paid or genuinely good.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48531499]When did that happen? It's either paid or genuinely good.[/QUOTE] You haven't read a single article from the gaming media that hasn't been overhyped?

[QUOTE=WarriorWounds;48531533]You haven't read a single article from the gaming media that hasn't been overhyped?[/QUOTE] The article? Sure. But the actual rating?

[QUOTE=Skyward;48531466]Most definitely, but the BnB's weren't much better.[/QUOTE] I at least enjoyed fighting them a bit more than Peace Walker's bosses, since those could be done by standing in a corner and shooting rockets at them for about 20 minutes straight.

[QUOTE=Liem;48526941]So they took his name off the box art but forgot to check the actual game?[/QUOTE] Is this a bad thing?

You know I like Metal Gear and all, but... [img]http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/screenshots/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain/Mgsvtpp63.jpg[/img] What the hell is going on.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;48531734]he strapped a balloon to a sheep. the balloon lifts up in the air and a plane or helicopter or something comes and snags it, taking the person/animal/object strapped to it back to the player's base. it's called fulton recovery it's a thing that exists in reality but obviously nowhere near that fast and the balloon doesn't actually lift the person in the air[/QUOTE] I actually knew that, it's just odd out of all the official screenshots, that this was the second one. :v:

[QUOTE=Bokito;48530939]Peace Walker's bosses were the biggest crock of shit ever.[/QUOTE] I enjoyed cool mechs more than the abysmally bland BB Corps. Especially Raging Raven, who is undoubtedly the worst boss battle in the series.

I have to agree that 4's bosses were not that great, but I seriously didn't enjoy even a single boss from PW.

[QUOTE=Skyward;48531466]Most definitely, but the BnB's weren't much better.[/QUOTE] I dunno i didn't have to go back several missions to grind personnel in MGS 4 when I wanted to beat a bullshit sponge of a boss. I just gave in to the urge and shot the fucker rather than KO'ing them. PW had some really fun shit in it, but the bosses were pretty trash, the grinding was a fucking nightmare (to this day I still haven't maxed out 80% of the research), and it was pretty easy really outside of the bosses. A downside of it being a handheld game I guess. [editline]25th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48531760]I enjoyed cool mechs more than the abysmally bland BB Corps.

That was up there was one of the worst parts of MGS4 (the triangle masher for MGS4 wins out because my hands fucking hurt every time after that).

[QUOTE=Jackald;48532119]I'm super excited for Kotaku and Polygon's reviews. I want to see how many points they take of for Quiet's attire. I reckon Polygon will dock 3 points for it, Kotaku will dock 2.[/QUOTE] bonus points if Patricia Hernandez does it.

[QUOTE=Ta16;48533693]You can apparently build a Animal Conservation platform where all your fultoned animals go and you can visit them.[/QUOTE] You're also rewarded for capturing animals alive, so it's worth going out of your way for it if time constraints aren't an issue.
