definitely worth the £2 lmao
i don't know why everyone hates this - sure it doesn't perfectly replicate the artstyle but realistically i don't think it's possible without retaining saturn-like graphics
gameplay is also pretty solid too, a bit basic compared to zwei but it's serviceable
the only thing i don't like is how its too faithful to the og - same exact gameplay, same story beats, nothing has changed
there's also no incentive to go back apart from difficulty or if you want to get the boring platinum (which i did, sadly the 100 hour one as well)
given that the og was pretty mediocre it's not surprising that the remake will be the same

finished disc 1

mgsv has been boring me to death so i had to come back to this

yay

alright this is getting boring now
the story isn't going anywhere, i've pretty much only gone through 2(?) traditional boss fights - so weird why this is a mainline entry
the open world isn't that interesting either, they're all just multiple bases connected by barren land
kojima fell off hard by trying to milk the series lmfao

oh eli is liquid
interesting

im on mission 22
how are you letting a whole ass enemy gang infiltrate your own base
these guys are pathetic

the goat deserves a replay.....
planning to 100% it (unlocking pandora's box)

uhhhhhh
why are kids getting involved

finished! well the game ain't finished yet, but i've completed what i can
i've never actually played a roguelite but it was a lot better than what i expected
the story is simple enough - group gets trapped in a dungeon that infinitely loops when you die, group tries to get out
the convos these characters have reminds me a lot of from the new world - in a good way, you can tell the writers are enjoying themselves and it did manage to make me laugh at times, which i'm okay with since its a spinoff
the game reminded me a lot of spelunky in the sense of the infinite dungeons and rescuable npcs that are either playable or give you buffs or weapons, but these are both roguelikes so these similarities aren't shocking

definitely am looking forward to more updates, an enjoyable game for sure

i'm 20 fucking hours in and the entire game has gone nowhere
beautiful

i just realised snake is now "venom" snake

i guess this just shows that snake's different after the whole ground zeroes incident but idk

this along with the fact that he has a different voice actor...... and he has a completely different personality now....... he's probably a body double
actually yeah that'd make sense given how i had the option to change my face at the beginning
nvm this is true, i rewatched the mgs4 ending


either way i like the gameplay loop but this isn't really gripping me like the older games did, idk if it's due to its shit pacing or the fact that the gameplay is stretched out, and is a rehash of peace walker

bloodsurfing is the best thing ever
you can dash into enemies and they go bouncing around the whole area its so fucking cool

this just shadow dropped outta nowhere? wtf
weird to think that a spinoff would come out before the actual game but it's got a decent gameplay loop
im curious to see how the story is gonna go since it's a roguelite and all
also i absolutely love these character designs
character wise they're fine ig, there's a lot of comedy here and there

not a huge fan of the story......
and the fact that snake is a silent protagonist now... why?
i just rescued emmerich, idk if i missed too much in peace walker but he's such a weirdo

bro....
50 fucking episodes?????
if people say the story isn't finished wtf are they gonna do for that long

oh they're like peace walker missions
alright then that makes sense
i also love how the gameplay gradually evolves and gets better throughout every entry
except 3, i guess it got better but the lack of radar and stupid healing system made me prefer 2

feels kinda aimless....

idk if its just me but the gameplay is really overwhelming
like it's way too open for me to be stealthy
what the absolute fuck was that opening
like how is that gonna make sense to the overall plot at all

yeah im not finishing this

oh snap it picks up where peace walker left off
glad it had a summary because i honestly cannot be assed
that paz scene...
wtf? why is it so short
not mad since i bought the complete experience but damn that must have been a total bummer to players back then

im ngl though
the game looks sexy
and it's been nearly 10 years since it released? what the fuck it looks even better than games today
not to mention a better framerate too, that may change with the phantom pain
gameplay wise it's gonna take some time for me to get used to since the controls are rebinded once again, but it just seems like more peace walker from the looks of it

will play the phantom pain tomorrow and i am definitely looking forward to it

nevermind i just fucking realised peace walker was on ps3 holy shit i was playing the worser version this entire time
but is it even worth it now that i know what happens
lmfao

10 mins in and I already hate it
every single sound effect is so grating, I'm guessing that's the point but man it gives me a headache
this game seems like it'll be hell if it's a screen scroller as well given how large this whole thing's probably be

credits started rolling straight at midnight... that's heat

i have way too many questions but im way too tired from today so ill just dwell on it later

its been a week since i finally got into this series and its damn near brought me to tears, wonderful

im on act 4
hahahaha they switched to actual mgs1 gameplay
that's brilliant
ive just realised a lot of these cutscenes are playing out like genuine action movie scenes now lol
and all of a sudden its peak...
this is beautiful
metal gear vs metal gear
best fight in the series? potentially
game's still been way too easy

im on act 5 now
i dont even know what to say
this is.... so confusing.... but its stilgreat...

final liquid fight scene lmao
this is trying to be tekken so bad
or yakuza wtf are these bootleg heat actions
loved the throwbacks to older games' final fights

damn
i have way too many questions but i think i should look them up, game didn't tie the knots very well

tis a bit weird so far
with how snake is ancient now and i saw a yakuza 8 review calling it "mgs4 of the yakuza series" i can already tell i'm not going to be huge on this

the gameplay is fine, a step up from mgs3 (since the stupid cure system is gone) but at times it just feels like its trying to be an fps, kinda losing the stealth that made playing the first 3 so fun
ive gotten a ton of weapons too, rpgs used to be a late game weapon but ive found one within the 1st hour of the game? and there's a weapon shop? ehhh

im guessing we're going to see a lot more flashbacks of old characters, which is nice to see but i hope they're introduced in a good way and not just there for fanservice

act 2...... they brought back raiden...... its peak.......
seriously though why does everyone look extremely different from before
i don't want to hear the "oh its been so long" excuse naomi is legit a different person now....

im on act 3 now
yeah i can just tell this is going to be some messy ass story, im praying they'll be able to wrap everything up neatly
also the game's really fuckin easy? on each other mgs game i died an average of 50 times per game, but this one i've had virtually no trouble at all
doubt it's just a me thing since i've seen other complaints about it too

act 3, this is the worst tailing mission ever

..... did they just retcon the ending of mgs2????bro whwat
ehhhhh i dont like this
