>You don't have a CQC fight with volgin while snake eater starts playing in the background
FUCK YOU KOJIMA, THERE IS LITERALLY NO POINT WITH THE MAN ON FIRE, HE DOES NOTHING AND GETS STOMPED ON. 1 GOOD BOSSFIGHT WAS ALL I WANTED. JUST ONE YOU HACK FUCK
Carter Hill
The bossfight with him was pretty good.
Elijah Flores
>douse him and jump in the chopper No. I mustve got about 3 or 4 helicopters shot down just trying to open the pause menu quick enough to order one and jump in it before he reignited
Henry Morris
>Volgin will never CQC you JUST TO SUFFER
Asher Allen
>You don't have a CQC fight with anyone
Fight against Machete Skulls being the closest thing
Logan Roberts
Didn't beat him hard enough then. I threw him into the pool of water and I'm pretty sure he didn't come back.
Carson Taylor
>playing the crashed chopper mission on extreme
Most fun i had with the game, the closest to a satisfying bossfight
Evan Cox
Hideo sabotaged his own games by purposely illegally making games with Konamis time, money, and intellectual properties with out their permission in order to get fired.
Hideo ruined mgsv
Brody Fisher
>MGSV can't just be underwhelming >it was all a ruse!
Occam's Broom, kojimadrone.
Adrian Cooper
The whole point of MGSV was literally BLUEBALLING: THE GAME
Matthew Sanders
I have long since given up on trying to figure out why anything about MGS V is the way it is. It seems like it was deliberately made and advertised in a way that made it as anticlimactic as possible. Maybe it's some sort of commentary on... something.
Luke Jackson
>Kojima puts in a CQC fight with Volgin and snake eater's theme >WAAAH KOJIMA YOU HACK YOU JUST RECYCLED THE FINAL FIGHT OF MGS4.
Lincoln Myers
If you don't have a CQC fight with The Boss you're a casual cuckold.
Dominic Long
Why did no one like the Sally fight? I though it was great. Running down the side of a mountain firing rockets, jumping into to tanks and shit.
Was pretty tense, I really enjoyed it. The crashed heli fight was shit.
Just hop in D-Walker and apply minigun.
Luis Price
>without their permission he was vp his own permission WAS "their permission"
Ryder King
I was talking about TPP. Of course I CQC'd The Boss, what kind of idiot tries shooting her?
Owen Ortiz
>Bring Quiet with upgraded sniper rifle >Mission finished in less than 10 minutes
Jeremiah Morales
So he was doing the same with Mgs 4 and peace walker too?
David Phillips
Yup, i really liked both the quiet and salensomething fight. The 2 boss fights that's in the game is really good, the problem is that the longest and most free metal gear game does not take advantage of all the TECHNOLOGY! Too do some real cool shit. Imagine a boss fight on horseback racing through the whole of afghanistan, or a sniper fight that literally takes weeks
Dylan Kelly
Would've been better if the mission area was bigger, imo.
Elijah Johnson
The thing is, the second encounter with him had the makings of a final bossfight. And guess what, cutscene and nothing happens.
The disappointment I felt at that moment is something I find hard to describe.
Xavier Hill
I am playing the game right now. My only question so far, is D-dog supposed to be completely overpowered?
Jayden Torres
Yes and no. All of the companions make most parts of the game ridiculously easy, but don't work well at all in certain situations.
Jason Martinez
All the companions are.
Jayden Young
CQC is maybe the easiest and quickest way to win that battle once you get the timing down, though.
Nathan Butler
There was likely more planned for Volgin, I mean they fucking kept his body around for no reason and it's never explained really why
The game clearly is unfinished and reworked from what they had done to put it in some sellable state.
Chase Flores
lol I never played again after rescuing Huey. Game fucking sux.
I admit the gameplay is good but there's not fucking story telling, no codec, and no sense of progression besides the mind numbing grinding of fultoning soldiers.
Isaiah Hughes
It's fine, I just wish it wasn't the final boss 10 hours before the game ends
Nolan Smith
The first encounter with Sally was literal nightmare fuel for me First time i had a vidya related nigtmare in years
Colton Richardson
Yes. I love D dog but man is he ever a crutch
Caleb Ramirez
Yeah, that's what I gathered. Still hurts.
Grayson Jenkins
For a while I was under the impression that Kojima was a director god, but as time goes on it really does seem like he's a hack.
Wasn't there supposedly some writer that was present for most of the MGS games then left right when they got shitty? Also
>MGSV shit story >Kojima blew all the money and time on his husbando Kiefer Sutherland and Dutch whore
>Death Stranding looks like some 2deep4u movie poster
Most people think he's awesome, but is Kojima actually the problem?
Angel Roberts
I was so sure he'd be the boss on the base and you'd have to finish him off once and for all by dunking him into the ocean.
Brayden James
I will trust Kojima forever. Even if he is a hack.
Adrian Barnes
I don't feel like MGS 5 itself is a bad game, I feel like it's severely unfinished. In that respect, I don't think Kojima is a hack so much as he needs an editor and someone who'll control his spending to the actual game.
Xavier Hill
>Your production company hobbles your project and development progress because you are against the company reforming into a gambling conglomerate >Documented proof of Konami constantly inhibiting development by shuffling around development staff, arbitrarily reassigning them, and reassigning emails bi-weekly >Project receives less than its projected budget and has its release window slashed
More like the other guy working on the stories got the fuck out because he saw what Konami was doing and didn't want to get trashed like they tried to do Kojima. Not saying the guy can do no wrong, but the game is obviously an unfinished mess cut up and pieced back together in an attempt to have something workable.
Easton King
The games after MGS3 have a lot of issues in terms of both game design and story, but it's still Kojima's creative direction that MG1-MGS3 reflect. He isn't a hack. The series just ran it's course a long time ago, and he seemed to struggle with synthesizing his ideas with Metal Gear.
Ryder Perry
I forgot Volgin was the man on fire.
Now that a few months have passed, it's really crazy how forgettable MGS 5 was for me.
Fuck.
Nathan Davis
I didn't need a CQC fight with him, but having no real boss fight (the thing where you run away doesn't count) is probably the single biggest missed opportunity of the game.
Jonathan White
This, sadly. Gameplay is tight as fuck and feels good but the rest of the game is disappointing.
Anthony Taylor
Trying to make it through some areas was so exciting without D-Dog.
Nicholas Johnson
Same, something like he absorbs the skulls parasites and regenerates and becomes a mixture of Volgin and the Senator from Rising
Leo Smith
>the fucking ride in the jeep with Skully
wtf
Aiden Perez
>Kojima blew all the money and time on his husbando Kiefer Sutherland and Dutch whore
It's amazing how Sup Forumseddit unironically thinks a C-lister who is only known for a TV show and a literally-who foreign model in Japan who only appeared in restaurant menus cost 80 million.
Matthew Hernandez
Since Shitface was busy revelling against Zero, why did he bother doing the Ground Zeroes events at all? What did he stand to gain by getting BB's attention?
Ethan Martinez
>Ocelot doesn't do anything the entire game except try to be the voice of reason and torture Huey.
THE ENEMY GUNSHIP
Gavin Peterson
He blew his time and money developing the best game engine of all time, not paying a washed up TV actor to say 10 lines.
Cameron Morales
>wtf Greetings, Reddit.
Adam Murphy
BOSS, GIT DOWN
Benjamin Murphy
The pirate crackdown was a-go
Caleb Fisher
Eh, you're right. JUST would've looked better there.
Easton Evans
I laughed out loud when sins of the father started playing and venom and skullface just stared at each other for 3 mins
Jaxon Cook
Hm. Thanks for the level-headed answers. I'll probably think about this some more and maybe give Kojima another chance.
Idk, personally a lot of people I've talked to at least know who Kiefer Sutherland is, and many loved 24. He might be more expensive than you're giving him credit for.
Is it worth it if the game engine is so excellent if the game that utilities it is underwhelming?
Chase King
>The disappointment I felt at that moment is something I find hard to describe.
This.
People keep memeing about how much of a disaster no mission 51 is. The real disaster was no Volgin final fight.
The game blatantly builds up to a third and final encounter. First you fight him on horseback, second time on ground, and you escape him both times. To me it's extremely obvious that the third encounter would be a combination of the two. BUT NOPE. He just gets run over and disappears LEL.
Grayson Bell
Anyone else think the whole Skulls thing was total shit?
Chase Richardson
When will they learn that a one-on-one duel against your rival or mentor is always more fun and satisfying than fighting a giant monster?
Bentley Jenkins
... ... ... THE ENEMY SNIPER...
STAY LOW AND CRAWL ALONG THE GROUND, THAT SHOULD ENABLE YOU TO SNEAK PAST ENEMIES.
this shit is forever burned into my brain
Andrew Morris
>hurr I just want repeats of my specific favorite mgs
This really explains why the game gets such a bad rap around here
Carson Jackson
Why was he even alive? What was his purpose in the game? MGSV was so fucking forgettable.
Jaxson Jenkins
The only time he was in-character was that one part where he left Huey lying on the needle of the metal-acid. That felt like something a sadist would do.
Then for some reason, he's the only character who has a problem with Quiet being tortured, despite him being a sadist.
Jaxon Powell
Add to that the fact that Kojima is a creative, like his games or not, if you make a creative work against his own will, even more, you force him to do the same things over and over, he just stops losing motivation. That's why MGS started shifting it's focus from story to gameplay, he was bored to death of the franchise and tried to do new things in the sandbox of this franchise.
The same happened to Christopher Nolan, all his movies are different because he likes doing different shit all the time, that's why The Dark Knight Rises was so mediocre compared to TDK and Batman Begins.
Regardless of thinking he's a hack or anything, if you want these kind of people to work at their fullest, just let them do their thing as they want.
Colton Rogers
SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE
Thomas Rodriguez
>1 year later >Kojimadrones still rolling around in a puddle of their own tears This is why MGSV was GOTY.
Dylan Jones
muh revenge
Christian Robinson
If anything hideo got fucked when PT came out
Jason Wilson
i will never not be mad, on my deathbed the last thing i will whisper to my grandchildren is
>"Mgs V was a disappointment"
Eli Morales
There truly is nothing wrong with MGSV. There needs to be some incentive for replayablity like NG+ though.
Thomas Roberts
So.. every game except Peace Walker and 5
Thomas Bennett
>criticizing the developer for an incomplete game the publisher forced them to release early Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Chase Miller
It's GOTY because it was so mediocre that people still haven't gotten over it?
Brody Thomas
It's GOTY because it has destroyed the worst fanbase Sup Forums has ever known.
Christopher Clark
What does MGSV have to do with the Undertale fanbase?
Ethan Morales
The Undertale fanbase died months ago. Kojimadrones are a thing in 2016 even though he hasn't done any decent game since 2005.
Mason Brown
>start writing games influenced by hideo >become a big dev >Meet Hideo >Punch him in the face, and then befriend him as is the style in america >people ask me why I did that >ask them to ask me why I started writing games >all for revenge
Jayden Price
>CQC with a phantom ghost
you have shitter ideas than a hack kojima
Tyler Sanchez
>ywn get plastic surgery to become Venom Kojima
Adam Hall
I love the kojima is a hack meme
Matthew Powell
>Not shooting him
What kind of american are you?
Kayden Thompson
Fuck off
Leo Morgan
Everyone agrees that Kaz is the only good thing kojima has done since mgs 3 right?
Elijah Stewart
When Volgin is in that cage on Motherbase, it seems like hes still alive. There was probably more to happen but Konami shut his ass down
Thomas Cook
What would have been the point? You're not actually Vic Vos
Dominic Morgan
>Venom uses his phantom arm to punch volgin
This is a great idea
Gabriel Evans
The ending of the fight would have been the cut scene when he realises you are not the biggest boss
Camden Morales
He is still alive games mechanics while. Pointing weapons at him makes them react like it is a living target. But that could just an oversight since the game isn't finish anyway.
Maybe were could have gotten a buddy volgin that could ride the battle gear.
William Martin
>ghost >but water affects him He is just a pissed off bitch that is lit on fire.
James Jones
>Volgin didn't punch you in the stomach and make you puke. >You can't scare ghost Volgin with frogs. >Ocelot is a useless character that loiters around Mother Base instead of being a legendary soldier in his own right. >Ocelot didn't duel Skull Face in high noon despite their cowboy theme. >Snake didn't ride with Ocelot on horseback and act as bandits disrupting Soviet convoys while a Western music plays. >You still don't have your own Metal Gear and have it used on missions.
This game is built on unfulfilled potential.
Josiah Perez
BOSS THAT A FREAKIN' PEACH
Aaron Green
He's just on his best behaviour because he's finally working for Boss-Senpai
Charles Martin
Same. >kojima is a hack! >but I dont like any other modern video games either!
These are the same people that hate every major series and every indie game
Juan Russell
Why almost all the boss fights were bullet sponge style. Why there wasn't a gimmick like in previous games? Even MGS4 had two with Rex vs Ray and Snake vs Ocelot
Connor Butler
>needing anything but your fat sniper in that mission best "boss" fight to fuck around in though
Ryan Long
If I want hours of mindless grinding, I would play one of the many jrpgs that being put on steam.
I wanted good metal gear game.
Jayden Ortiz
I agree. MGS V made me see the hack he was and I was in full denial the whole game until de plot twist made me react. It's amazing how far the quality drop from mgs 1, 2, 3 with Fukushima and Kojima to mgs4, PW and V with just Kojima
Jeremiah Johnson
>MGS V made me see the hack he was I don't think you actually have any clue what you're talking about.
Nicholas Young
Just wait till you get a silenced tranq rifle on Quiet.
>Sit down in comfy spot outside base >"Fire at will!" >Go make a sandwich >Return and stride at your leisure through the suddenly very silent base >Bonus points if you ship Quiet out, ship D-Dog back in, and have him fulton everyone for you too
Blake Roberts
Firing rockets at it while riding D-horse was rad as fuck
Joshua Moore
Yes I do. For a long time Inwas one of the biggest Kojimadrones and around the first 10 hours i felt something was wrong but I keep telling myself it was just my imagination. The game was going to get better and after the plot twist I went even in more denialfollowing the ruse cruise and in the end it was nothing.
Ryder Sullivan
So you don't believe that Konami forced Kojima to continue making Metal Gear games? Because it makes all the sense in the world to me.
Noah Morales
>and in the end it was nothing. In the end you were playing an unfinished game, you ignorant twat.
