I’m only about 15 hours into Metal Gear Survive but so far it’s been amazing. It’s fixed a lot of the issues I had with Metal Gear Solid 5.
One of the biggest problems with MGSV was the constant sneaking around for no reason. Sure, you could try to just bust in with guns blazing but they made it hard to do that for the entire game. Some missions even required you to be sneaky, it was pretty gay. This game gives you a lot more options to go balls to the wall which is a lot more fun, sneaking is thankfully a thing of the past.
The story’s a lot better too and is much easier to follow. The entire time during MGS5 I had no clue what was going on and the cutscenes were too long and boring always ranting on about the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, the only bright side was Snake’s voice was awesome. This game has a much more interesting tale and easy to understand story which is great. Also, zombies are way cooler than Russians.
The best addition to the game is Player Choice. There are a lot of boring parts where you’re just wandering around the world and collecting scrap parts and food and it sucks. Fortunately, they gave us the option to pay a few bucks to skip all that shit. If you get killed in a mission, for the price of a cup of coffee you can acquire a revival pill that lets you keep going instead of having to retry the mission. I not only work 10 hours a week at Subway but I also have to help out with household chores, this means some days I have as few as 5 hours a day to play games. Being able to pay money to keep playing is much better than having to waste time trying the mission again with a different strategy.
Overall, I’d say this is probably the best Metal Gear game they’ve ever made and I highly recommend it if you need a break from Call of Duty. Who else has played it?
