Topic: Metal Gear Solid 5???

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_i … tory=19992

I dont see how there can be another mgs after guns of the patriots kinda wrapped the story up nicely. Tbh I would prefer there wasnt another one rather than a sequel that just shreds the ending of mgs4. What do you fellow mgs fans think?

Re: Metal Gear Solid 5???

I'll buy a MSG5 on one condition.

That they make it an actual ******* stealth game. Sorry, but I'm going to rant a little here.

There's no reason why a stealth game should give you control of a guy with a million hit points, have him face enemies who die exceptionally easily, and then give him access to literally half a hundred weapons, from pistols to AK-47s to rail guns to freaking javelins. I've never seen a conventional combat game do this, and... a stealth game? Handing me a ****** AK-47 and javelin and expect me to sneak about is like releasing Gran Turismo 10 000 and say that I can drive at any speed I want, finish in any position I want, and still win.

I can understand the "we need to cater to the run-and-gun CS tards who can't play a game without killing something every five seconds" argument, except... I can't. MGS is a classic, and people are going to buy it in droves no matter what you do to it.

A stealth game is supposed to be about stealth. Introducing 50+ weapons and a system that gives you access to them on demand is as ridiculous as adding an option to sit down around a table and have peaceful negotiations for a round in freaking First Strike.

Rant over.

I dont see how there can be another mgs

Now let's see, make a sequel and get even more millions out of the tired old cash cow or come up with something new? Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Re: Metal Gear Solid 5???

Um, did you ever play it on The Boss Extreme? You die in like 3 shots and can carry very lttle ammo. Also I did say "how can there be another mgS They could allways turn around and make one thats not about Solid Snake or Big Boss. And i'd also like to point out that its your decision whether or not you want to use all those guns or stick to your pee shooter handgun, and lets not forget,  the game is set on a BATTLEFIELD.

So the stealth portion of the stealth game is hidden away as an unlock. Wonderful big_smile .

Every game is a stealth game, then. I could perfectly well advertise First Strike as a 'tactical espionage action' game and say that hey, it's not my fault that you choose to use tanks and heavy weapons and play it as an FPS.

and lets not forget,  the game is set on a BATTLEFIELD.

Doesn't matter. A stealth game is supposed to revolve around stealth, regardless of setting.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 5???

1. Big Boss hard is pretty challenging aswell.

2.If you were to do that everyone who came here looking for stealth would be pretty damn p***** off. Mgs delivers stealth if you want it, but doesnt force you to crawl throught the whole game. Also it is Tactical Espionage Action you can either play the game as a stealth game or blast your way through. But do the latter and you get a pretty crappy rank at the end.

3.And it does revolve around stealth. There are however sections of the game where you need a big gun such as the boss fights. I like the large selection of weapons and I doubt im the only one who does. Therefore I am one of what you refer to as one of the run and gun CS tards, or am I? I like the guns, I like shooting the place up from time to time but that sure as hell doesnt stop me from playing the game properly. Im currently half way through the game on big boss extreme trying to earn the big boss emblem.

Gamers are not divided into serious realism freaks who do everything as they "should" and dumb noobs who cant help but kill things, I do play games properly but sometimes I just want to have FUN

'nuff said.

I wondered why the game had a 10:1 cutscene-to-gameplay ratio tongue .
