As opposed to figuratively played?

What's causing you confusion m8

Was supposed to be only played MGSV

you're playing an anime that uses the military industrial complex as a backdrop

MGSV is the dark and gritty episode

Your identity was taken from you against your will and you're told that it's what you would have wanted even if you could have had a say in the matter. Your boss, the guy who you've been told you now are, let this happen to you and made no effort to make contact until you'd made yourself useful to him, despite being a man who preached the end of soldiers being used as pawns in other people's games. You run around bumfuck nowhere, building his reputation for him by being a more upstanding person than he ever was, and end up in opposition to another man who was never permitted his own identity and spent his life being used as a tool by a shadowy power lurking behind the curtain, and reflects everything you might become if you live long enough.

is playing Peace Walker important before playing MGS V?

Played the rest of the main series but not sure I'm feeling it.

Animated cartoon cutscenes are god-tier though.

The entire series ties together into one big thing and you're missing a shitload of nuance if you don't play all of them.

But sure, if the neutered experience is alright with you, PW before V is enough. You really should at least play 3 before PW to round out the Big Boss saga though.

playing through peace walker's story was pretty fun, and yeah, the cutscenes are very well done. If you can stand Hayter's fucked voice after 4, then you should like them as well. Game itself is pretty well done, the staff management and weapon upgrade system wasn't that hard to figure out and it'll help you get used to it in V.

discuss this whole side quest

>Animated cartoon cutscenes are god-tier though.
Agreed. The story and the rest of the game mostly suck, though. That said, knowing what happens in PW is fairly important for MGSV.

Medic couldn't let go of his phantom boner for Paz and regrets that his only time inside of her was reaching into her guts to pull out a bomb.

I think you misread my post.

I've played all the series apart from Peace Walker (which I've started but not keen on) and MGS V.

I'll carry on with it. just feels really easy at the minute, and it feels so different to MGS 4, which I only completed for the first time this week and it blew me away.

fucking masterpiece

makes venom into an actual character when you consciously recognize that Paz is Venom's subconscious talking to him and telling him to accept that MSF is gone, and calls the events of the entire game into question when you realize that Venom hallucinates a room, a dead girl, cassette tapes in both material and audio form and fabricates entire conversations with three separate people, and if he could hallucinate all of that, you literally can't trust a single thing in the game to be exactly as it's presented

>I think you misread my post
My mistake, I did exactly that.

I had the same thing when I first played PW though. I couldn't get into it at all, so I put it down and came back to it on a whim six months later and got completely addicted to it.
It's worth sticking with it. It will draw you in if you let it.

I love this series. MGS1 is my favorite. I would have preferred a more linear approach to MGSV but oh well, at least the controls are godly.

I want more games to do this kind of shit

So anons, what's your favorite cutscene in the series?

I've been following the series religiously since 1999, and truthfully, I think it might be the mirror scene in MGSV's truth ending.

It's not as eventful or explicit as some of the other great scenes, but the implications of that scene were fantastic when I finally understood them.
