>play the first 2 acts >man this game is amazing, I wonder why people consider it bad >play act 3, 4 and 5
Literally what the fuck went so horribly wrong? How in the fuck did Kojima manage to utterly destroy the entire MGS series in one game? Its just incredible.
People harasses the fuck out of him for not resolving the Patriots/future plotline to the point of death threats, so going in the premise of MGS4 was to satisfy the same drooling canonical checklist retards that complain today about Quiet not being Sniper Wolf. Kojima basically covered all bases to firmly fellate that part of his audience and give a big cheesy broadway musical tier send off to quite literally every single minute plot thread he could think of. To the point where there are basically no new characters of significant meaning and everything has to be tied together into one big family feud like it's fucking Star Wars and every character has to recieve a sloppy, wet fanservicing.
There's a part of me thinks that it's so absurd that it was done with malice and done intentionally OTT but I don't actually trust Kojima that much.
It's a shame because there are some great ideas presented in MGS4 that would have made a great MGS1-3 tier sequel (The War Economy and Snake growing old) but it just disappears so firmly up its ass that it comes back out of its own fucking windpipe.
MGS went from about 30% moviegame to 70% moviegame. That's what's wrong.

I actually thought for a moment that it could have been shit intentionally, considering how MGS2 also did sort of a critique/comentary on the fans expectations. but then I remembered that MGSV exists and is arguably even worse than this crap, which pretty much confirms that Kojima just lost it's abilitiy to craft coherent and interesting stories. Hell, now I even question if he was responsable for the brilliance of the first 3 games in the first place.
Jace Ward
you mean it went from 90% movie game to 95% movie game but people only shit on MGS4 because its PS3 only, go play ANY MGS game and 90% of it is cutscenes and codec calls with little to no fucking gameplay, oh yeah thats right, you fags DONT count codec calls for some bullshit reason because if you did it would make all the other MGS games have LESS gameplay to non-gameplay ratio than MGS4
Liam Watson
You didn't play any of the other MGS games, did you?
He absolutely did not want to make that game. He just barfed up whatever bullshit he could come up with to shut people up.

>Kojima sank Konami with Metal Gear shit >Now he's trying to buddy up to Hollywood actors so he can gain access to Hollywood actors How long till he sinks the actors careers?
Parker Cox
Kek, this.
Daniel Allen
MGSV is just further proof it's intentional. Here's something:
He visited Iceland and Normandy along with various other locations to scout out for the game, yet there's nothing in the game or even cut content that even looks remotely close to them. Look at pictures of those two places and then look at pictures of Death Stranding. Then also consider, unless it's a really short game which isn't likely, why has Sony said Death Stranding is the fastest developing game they've ever seen? Because Kojima has been pre-producing the game in his head since after 3 ended, or at the very least before 4. It's obvious that he was tired of Metal Gear.
If you can't tell why any of that matters, it's because he was wasting MGSV's money on his own future projects.
Josiah Gomez
nor did he want to make MGS2 or MGS3, yet he still shat out those
Joseph Morris
>Hollywood executives
Andrew Morales
he did want to make 2 as the finale and 3 being a prequel kept him interested
Aaron Perez
I enjoyed MGS4.
Oliver Morales
I get why you'd hate act 3 & I guess 5 is basically just cutscenes but what was wrong with 4? Outside of Crying Wolf it's probably my favourite gameplay segment of the whole thing
Lincoln Gomez
God i wish the mgs series would have ended at 3
Luke James
he didnt want to make 2, he wanted to end the series at 2 and call it MGS 3
Mason Baker
Shut the fuck up and play it again casual. Your shitty feelings from the first playthrough are meaningless.
Isaac Lewis
>5 is basically just cutscenes >the metal gear with the least amount of cutscenes kek good one
Asher Adams
Crying wolf is the only part with any remotely interesting gameplay lmao
Robert Wilson
ACT 5 user, ACT
Parker Foster
>muh death threats So Kojima is a wammen after all
Tyler Ward
Chapter 5, you retard.
Joshua Evans
FUCKKKKK I didn't read most of that. What an idiot.
Ethan Cook
Tbf the gameplay was good, I just didn't like the music for her fight so it's an extra-shit opinion because the game even has a fucking iPod for that sort of thing. So yeah, Act 4 pretty fun
Chase Martin
try that sentence again
Josiah Morgan
the gameplay is awesome, but there is just not enough of it
and even in the first 2 acts you never really have to explore the locations, it's just better to beeline to the exit and ignore everything
and the codec sucks, you can only call 2 numbers and one of them is completely useless except for the boobs easter egg
