SE has been playing MGS5 constantly since release.
We should have a thread about it. It looks really cool and fun, and actually looks like it will be a game of some legitimate length. It combines all the cool base building and capturing people stuff from Peace Walker that I liked, with even bigger sandbox open world etc etc. Plus sexy objectification. Also very obvious inspiration from Skyrim, which is odd because Fallout 3 and New Vegas were better (because it had guns haha).
We should also list the things that are stupid about it of course ayy lmao
For example, Kojima broke the game up into "episodes" solely so he can make his name pop up EVEN MORE than ever in the credits, every time at the beginning and end of every episode, and then even at the beginning of the opening credits and at the end of the opening credits, it opens with "created by hideo kojima" and then opens with "written and directed by hideo kojima" like he simply cannot say his name enough.
The game looks like it's going full edgelord with non stop torture and rape and gore porn and dismemberment fetish like aaron diaz. He's putting in body horror stuff, cute girls with bombs in their uterus, people's severed limbs and permanent brain damage, it's like this is what happens when Kojima tries way too hard to go the horror route, you can tell he wanted to do a Silent Hill game, in fact that game might've been creepy but only because of how grimdark shadow the hedgehog edgy it would've been. The people who actually fall for that edgy shit are the people who like the "story" of this game. The story is still a ton of silly shit, and the people who act like there are spoilers for the story in this game are grown up children. It's like having the new Transformers movie spoiled for you: who gives a shit? Wanting the gameplay to have surprises, yeah I can understand that part at least, because the gameplay was always pretty decent, though the games themselves were never really long enough to justify it (they lengthened the game well enough by making all of them have plus modes with huge bonus items and all that shit).
TONS OF LENS FLARES like JJ Abrams, as well as tons of Michael Bay shaky cam, notice how Kojima is influenced by popular directors, not necessarily good directors. Hideo Kojima is the Michael Bay of video games, but with the writing talent of Uwe Boll.
If anyone else has any thoughts on the game go ahead and post them.
