ITT: August 1st, 2015

hard to believe this came out almost four years ago

WOAH-HHOOOOOOOOOOOAAHH!

I remember threads here when leaked copies were being streamed. As someone that expected the worst from TPP it was an absolute riot watching so many people have total breakdowns.

This. I remembered staying off of Yea Forums for a month until I had beaten all 50 missions.
Then I searched around to see if my game was missing any files.

I remember the confusion I felt when I realized there was no actual story. Fucking Kojima got me again.

oh shit

I come from the year 2019, I'm here to tell you anons, even as a casual MGS fan, MGS5 is the most disappointing game of all time

It served as an important lesson to Yea Forums why you shouldn't hype any game up as being the second coming.

I was literally just thinking about how hype I was the few months leading up to it. I thought this game was gonna be full of controversial revelations about Big Boss and how he came to be the war criminal he was in the old games. fuck the theme song and all the trailer songs even implied it. why did he do it the way he did?

MGSV came out 4 years ago

THE
MISSING
LINK
>tfw he used that same line for peace walker

MGSV trailers were fucking kino

Oh boy I can't wait to see kid raiden or sniper wolf or zero or ocelot doing something or skullface doing something or the customizable mother base or the peace walker-like coop or the intelligent ai or the living worlds or the different locations or the good indoor spaces or the ai mother base retaliations or the COMRADSS WE'VE LOST. IT WON'T STOP HURTING.

post yfw you finally realized after playing several dozen hours in chapter 2 that the story ended days ago and you didn't even realize it

The cover looks so epic, but the actual game was the biggest piece of unfinished shit ever. Even if Act 3 was patched in, the story would still suck.

LOL YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY BIG BOSS

This fucking game had so much potential and they threw it all away.

It's been two years since Kojima tweeted that there's a reason behind Quiet's design. Can't wait for these feminazi's to be btfo'd. Anyways, post theories.

I remember when I first saw the spoiler that you're not actually playing as Big Boss. Completely killed all my hype in an instant.

Portable Ops had the same stupid shit, and it even ended up being rendered non-canon by Peace Walker. It was dumb marketing. There was never really a "missing link" anyway.

it really does, they just bonked it up in the level design and story departments. the big empty open worlds with tiny little desolate outposts didn't lend itself as well to the gameplay as it should have. there should have been more camp omega and OKB-zero type locations in the game, and less big emptiness.

>LOL YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY BIG BOSS
But you are Big Boss, and always have been.

Everyone thought that. Instead all we got was LOL THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO BIG BOSSES THE WHOLE TIME HAHAHA ISN'T THAT CLEVER AND EPIC

Seriously fuck Kojima.

Shut up faggot. That literal who medic fag will never be Big Boss.

To me, I thought it was cool idea, it's just they fumbled the execution so badly. They should have just had you play as your created character 100% and built a new story around them instead the stolen identity horseshit.

So which missions are the ones that matter? Maybe someone could make a mod where you just play through those 5 or however many.

Rate my theory for the ending
>Punished Snake kills Skullface
>Flash forward
>Miller: Snake, do you read me?
>It's David Hayter as young solid snake
>Your final mission is to infiltrate Outer Heaven
>short remake of MG1

>fucking retards ACTUALLY THINK Trump can be president lmao

cliche normie bait

the problem wasnt even too much gameplay it was too much samey shit
>20 pick up claymore missions
>20 interrogate this guy missions
>100 or so missions where you have to sit in the helicopter while kojima plays epic credit spoilers

>Miller
But Big Boss is in charge of the mission. That's the whole point.

>we'll never live in the universe where you spend the majority of the game in MGSV custom building Outer Heaven and then the end of the game is you infiltrating said base as Solid Snake

its actually sad. surely mgs4's too much long cutscenes put off a lot of gamers and for that reason "journalists" bushed it badly but I think detailed, sometimes redundant storytelling was a big charm of the series. as for mgs4, it was just played in movie cutscenes, unlike previous games' text dialogues, so people was getting tired of keeping to see it --- I think there is a big difference between reading texts and watching movies. if mgs were still sticking with the old style that tells a story through text dialogues with characters, like before mgs3, it would not put off players so much like that. anyway, mgs4 caused big backlash, so kojima taken a new approach to reduce the story itself, which is the reason why mgs5 feel weird for most mgs fans who used to be familiar with previous titles.

MGSV is the Overgrowth of AAA video games.
