Oh, I see what it is. For some reason they animated guards sweeping left to right when searching but their field of view doesn't actually follow the angle of their head. The enemy was facing you but his field of view was facing the grenade.

the gameplay speaks for itself in this case, watch any stream and you'll see how much of a mess it is

It's not a Konami game, it's a Square Enix game. It never had anything to do with Kojima in the first place, outside of trying rip off his game and failing

I've never even assumed that it may be something not done on fox engine and not by konami, why would they do that?

Such a shame. I really really wanted this one to be the game that brings Front Mission back.

I have no idea. It's a Front Mission game, but made to be like Metal Gear.

It's wants to be Metal Gear, but feels like Deadly Premonition with none of the quirkiness, paired with an escort system worse than Dead Rising(1)

Ofc since it's also a PS2 game. oh wait, it isn't ?

The game does feel janky and feels like it needed a couple more months of polish. I don't hate it, but I'm not very far into it. One thing that does annoy me is how Mikhail holds his pistol. Good way to lose a thumb.

It's going to be a fine kusoge purchase once it goes on sale, it's just the full $60 price that makes it extremely dubious.

Come on, give the poor guy a break - it's dark, and you can see shit with those masks on.

Yeah, this. Don't know what all the hubbub is about. It looks amusing.

There was a good game underneath all this but the game as it stands is not good at all

>MGS stealth sections are okay-ish, but guards are *retarded*
>RE style item management and scarcity means you're counting bullets
>this would be fine if you could 100% ghost the level, but that leads to
>escort missions require you to clear the way for survivors, since the survivor doesn't follow you, they follow a preset path that you need to clear, and you need to be RIGHT NEXT TO THEM to tell them to start/stop moving
>so either you hoard bottles and shit and chuck a ton of bottles to make sure the guards aren't looking at the survivor, or you burn resources killing everything

On top of that, if the guards *do* find a survivor, they run up to it and ignore you, meaning you can use the survivor as bait to kill guards which is fucking stupid

apparently the game is balanced around you *not* rescuing survivors in NG and going to NG+ where perks significantly strengthen you and allow you to handle things more effectively, but that's fucking terribad game design

lots of technical problems

>and you can see shit with those masks on.
Those helmets are hilariously designed

>and you need to be RIGHT NEXT TO THEM to tell them to start/stop moving
I haven't played this game, but I heard you can actually tell them to move a certain direction if you open up your map or something.

the game is fine at $20 but you expect more from a AAA franchise, which FM used to be

forgot to add, that *conceptually* you can make a superb game out of this, but squeenix did not. they wanted to really push home the feeling of This War of Mine, but the gameplay as it stands is nonsensical

>Front Mission
>AAA
lol no

if that's true that's news to me - why the fuck would you need to open up the map to tell them to stop moving

that's just shit design right there

>why the fuck would you need to open up the map to tell them to stop moving
pretty sure he's saying you can tell the AI to move to a certain area by opening the map, not to tell them to stop/start moving.

i'll check tonight when I get back. if that was in the tutorial, well, I missed the shit out of it

some of the paths these guys take normally are incredible

Yeah, sorry. I was trying to say that. Highlighted the wrong part of the post, meant to quote
>they follow a preset path that you need to clear

Like I said though, haven't played the game, just heard this from someone on the internet. Not sure if it was a suggestion on how the game could be improved, or if it's something you can actually do in-game.

Features artstyle of Yoji Shinkawa. "OMG ITS MGS KOJIMA AND KONAMI TOGETHER AGAIN"

also forgot to mention

this is actually a cool trick. having more items appear where players have died means they didn't have to put *too* much effort into balancing resources, they'd just have players get slaughtered until the resource amount naturally balances over the course of the various chapters

this is impressive on a conceptual level, but fucking lazy

is the game fun? I don't mind janky shit, I loved RE6.

This, verbatim. It'll be fun to play this piece of shit for 5 bucks come summer.

The Steam reviews are complete fucking shit as always, half of them are bandwagoning crap like "Japan gave it 1 star!!!!"

After a bit of time with it, the thing is: it's a full price game despite being previous gen looking and feeling, it's concept soup with a whole bunch of ideas and mechanics that don't necessarily play well together, it has pretty dogshit AI of the annoying kind rather than the kind that makes it easy, it uses a checkpoint system with bitch ass lengths between checkpoints that will piss you off when you die, performance isn't terrific despite being outdated looking

There's also negatives which are arguably positives, it sounds like a dumpy dub of a Japanese game despite there being no Japanese version, which is kind of endearing. CAUTION, ENEMY IS APPROACHING is pure meme stuff

Comparisons to things like Deadly Premonition aren't wrong - there's conceptually great stuff here, just made by people who didn't have the ability to actually execute those concepts very well

>a AAA franchise
user give me a fucking break.

It plays fine, but the AI both sucks and can see you through walls sometimes. The level design is pretty terrible. Wanzers feel worse than Front Mission Evolve.

if you like dead rising escort missions, RE item scarcity, and alpha protocol's janky stealth, you'll probably enjoy this game

that doesn't make the game good, but it *does* scratch a certain itch. i'll probably finish the game but man I don't like the fact that i paid full price for it

looks fine

Don't get me wrong, as a Front Mission fan this should offend me because it's absolute dogshit. However, as purveyor of shitty games, this looks incredibly entertaining.

I'm trying hard to like this game but it's not making things easy.

the only worthwhile items are ied mines, RC ied mines, and empty bottles/cans

wire traps dont kill, explosive cans dont kill, the guards respond to grenades, and molotovs barely do damage

so if you ignore all the useless crap then yeah ammo, melee weapons, and explosives are in short supply. plenty of garbage though

The purple corpses are where players have DIED?!

>molotovs barely do damage
Moltovs are for CC

Yeah and it's funny to see how many died at the first enemy the game literally hands you a melee weapon and tees you up to kill.

I'm on mission 5 and I too have grown up with janky games, hell I love mediocre games. I like shit like Dynasty Warriors. Left Alive isn't even fun.

>ammo
>short supply

I've sat maxed out on pistol and smg ammo multiple times. Molotovs are great anyhow, you can throw one and then a frag grenade right after and that's a kill on hard.

>flare into molotov into grenade can ensure a group kill.

Attached: 15.webm (888x450, 1.94M)

two molotovs and the guy is dead, you can also shoot them when they are burning.
explosive can also are your ally.

i'd buy that but the empty bottle you can get by drinking the vodka is better for the purpose

Armored Core at the best of times had enough questionable design decisions that this shouldn't be out of the normal for you.

Yeah, it's hilarious because when I started there were multiple player corpses on literally the opening scene

The game is far from perfect, but that's BS.

To be honest that was probably more well executed than mine. I had to finish several of them with the pistol.

fabulous hair for a soldier, really helps you to aim better

Water make molotovs less powerful.

The Rutherians get steamrolled in a day. I get the impression their standards aren't very high.

Raiden was the same shit back then.

The molotov's useless here as well though, the burning guy just tanks it all

Attached: walking like he shit himself.webm (1024x576, 2.86M)

I hate ugly people, how's that for a justification?

Molotovs are mostly for stun, use one + a can grenade and it should be enough, maybe one shot to the head to be sure.

if this game ever at any point gets a followup 100% chance that mikhail gets turned into an S-type

but that wont happen this franchise is deeeeead

Who said a pretty boy has to cover his hair like that, looking like a homosexual?

If your weapons feel like shit, it's because the game's designed for NG+ to make doing the sidequests and survivor rescues plausible.

molotov plus can doesnt do it on hard unfortunately

If he doesn't die in the bad ending.

Funny thing is Solid Snake wouldn’t give two shits if someone is trans or not, he doesn’t care what people do with their personal lives.

They feel like shit because of the anemic sound and effects.

It would be a decent game if it weren't partially busted. On PC it's very poorly optimized and doesn't play nice with many kinds of hardware.

if they patch it or allow mods to unfuck it then it could be fixable but

Better go with the latter.

I told her that when she was saying she was going to kill them all.
there was this option, "it's impossible" or don't do it.

i think if you pick the aggressive options she survives

that being said her rescue fucking sucks. apparently when you get into a wanzer some guards temporarily despawn, so if you do this the expected way and use the wanzer to clear everything you see, once you hop out she'll be under attack by some phantom guards

who disappear again when you get back in the wanzer

fucking dumb shit

In his defense he is referring to twitter posts and not Yea Forums.

No he's not. He's using those to prove the game is bad.

I have only played a few hours but you'll be listening to ambient gunfire more than music.

that's what trans rights means, trans people living their lives as freely as anyone else

nobody here needs proof that the game is bad

but you can enjoy bad games

I was actually referring to the Binary Domain and Alpha Protocol (actual good games) comparisons that pop up every thread, but it doesn't seem there are any this time

Did they hire the concept artist from the Metal Gear series to try to trick people or what?

Alpha Protocol is definitely in the same boat when it comes to gameplay and animations. Without the writing/roleplaying no one would give a shit about that game.

I love the idea of the game and was looking forward to it, but how did they think it was a good idea to release this as is.

there's not a lot of songs, but those who exist are pretty good. here's one
vocaroo.com/i/s0iuP03kwoEB

the character designs are pretty good

animation is ugh and olga looks like a realdoll but the basic design is fine

when she was talking to the kid it looked like her mouth is somehow locked so she cant open it more than maybe an inch

While the game isn't very good, the next MG should unironically have the same structures for the missions, just some big open areas. the missions in front missions are like camp omega but if it wasn't done right.

No, you missed the point when you went into AP expecting anything but an RPG. You were probably one of the mongs you didn't invest in combat stats then complained about wonky gunplay

The majority of the game isn't spent in dialog, and it's impossible to spin the broken stealth and subpar animations as a good thing.

You're literally a meme fuck if you claim Left Alive is even remotely as good as Survive. It's amateur hour slop while Survive's a game that actually improved on Phantom Pain in a number of ways but is hated for pure Kojima cult of personality reasons.

Fuck off retard.

Why? It's an appropriate and concise word to refer to stiff controls and half-baked mechanics.

I'm genuinely surprised Left Alive didn't ship with game breaking bugs considering how broken and unfinished everything seems.

it shipped with plenty of pc crashes

Well the PC version did ship in a state where a number of players simply cannot play it. Not sure if it's solely vsync or what, but even RTX cards struggle and it crashes a fuckton.

A cutscene crashed my GPU and then bluescreened my computer. I updated my drivers and it's fine now.
