Was replaying GZs today. Amuses me to no end that the Medic is just a pitched down Kiefer Sutherland.

I'll never forget how absolutely butthurt Kojima hardcores were at people saying that it was obvious that The Medic was going to be Venom Snake after Ground Zeroes came out. He wouldn't do the same twist twice, he wouldn't be that obvious, etc etc

Now they act like it's one of the greatest things in video games.

I'm really happy that Quiet exists, even if I don't like her all that much, because she serves as a sort of containment zone for all the coomers that visit the Metal Gear franchise.

I used to know a guy who only played MGSV for Quiet.

He also always went guns-blazing into outposts and would shoot down Pequod for no reason.

He's playing the game the way Kojima truly intended.

I thought it was kind of interesting that the helicopter pilots in MGSV are named Pequod and Queequeg, not just because they're references to Moby Dick, but because those two specific names are the names of the two coffee shops in Deus Ex Invisible War that are supposedly in competition but actually owned by the same people.

That name has been ruined by that roastie who steals other people's content and pretends to react to it on the YouTube

Is it really? She's such a low blimp on the radar I doubt anybody actually cares about her, let alone will let their waifu be ruined by her. The only time I ever even heard of her outside of this site was when she refused to play with a girl dying of cancer or something by lying to her after making a promise. Turns out she was just lazy and her story fell apart, she made some make-a-wish kid play alone on christmas(or it might have been her birthday, can't recall)
As for me, it's Paz. I got a thing for
Bad girls pretending to be sweet and innocent, but still getting their just desserts in the end.

If you think that's bad, whatever you do never look up what happened to her at Camp Omega. I have no clue how Kojima got away with that.

Oh man. I knew about that for a while.
I always thought it was weird how in PW, you could look at Paz in a bikini. But GZ went off-the-rails with the Paz shit.

MGSV is split into two parts:

Literal Guantanamo Bay, human rights violations included.

Taking out African villages with nothing but cardboard boxes, balloons, horse shit and a water pistol.
 
Here is a question: Does MGS3 NEED a remaster? The game was ground breaking when it came out and it works just fine as is today. The only thing I could think of that would improve it would be a day/night cycle and maybe it being open world, but the latter would ruin the perfection that is the beat-by-beat story and the linear series of stealth challenges. MGS5 went open world and it all but eliminated stealth unless you were actively looking for it, much easier to go in guns blazing with all the tools the game gives you and I think with an open world, players will find a way to exploit the game somehow.
That's not to say of what they might remove or shoehorn in, Kojima isn't in this one so we're left without his autism but rather soulless corporate suits. Their promise to "keep the game as it was" means nothing to me.
The only thing that might make it worthwhile is MGS Online, I missed out on the boat for that one since I never had stable internet around that time, and the HD edition didn't include it.

It's probably a way to pander to all the dumb nigger zoomers who think ultra realistic graphics = good game.

And to change the control scheme because modern vidya gamers can't wrap their head around 2004 controls (which worked perfectly fucking fine in 2004, and still work perfectly fine today)
 
I don't even get the graphics argument, the game looked gorgeous in 2004 and it looks fine now. Hell, in some places, the game still looks amazing even today, like in the final boss fight in that field of white flowers. The controls were awkward but that could be said for pretty much every MG game until maybe V which felt pretty standard at the time.
I just cannot trust Konami not to fuck this up. Release Survive 2, that game was fine but it actually NEEDS some new changes and plethora of new content, unlike MGS3. Speaking of which, how much you want to fucking bet there will be DLC, or even micro transactions/loot crates for the multiplayer component?

I'm betting there will be DLC for the singleplayer.

Pre-order now to receive the Venom Snake skin! Featuring the Desert Fox camo pattern! Perfect for a jungle environment!

Those who buy the Supreme-Deluxe-Give-Me-Your-Money Edition recieve Raiden's sword that, when equipped, softlocks the game and causes your console to burst into flames!

No, but I do think MGS3 could be improved by tidying up the graphics (I agree that they still look amazing, but the lip sync is awful in English and it is a 20-year-old game) and adding in more/longer jungle survival sections. I've always loved hunting/eating/doctoring as a gameplay element, but it matters two or three times at the start of the game, and then when you're shot in the knee by The Fear, and never again. It's trivial to stack ten thousand ramen packs and forget about food, too--even on European Extreme.

The controls really are pretty outdated also, but changing them would require changing the whole of the gameplay, and while it would be cool if they pulled it off and made MGS3 feel like Ground Zeroes, I would expect Konami to fuck it up.

I never understood the hate for Survive. I get that it wasn't what people wanted, but it was a pretty fun stealth/survival game. It took the solid core gameplay of MGSV and got rid of all the horrible bullshit and retarded storytelling. Is that controversial to say now? I don't even know, no one talks about it anymore.
 
Was playing MGSV and I swear to fuck I just saw a truck driver bulldoze a friendly comrade at an outpost. There weren't any combat alerts, the truck wasn't being chased, nothing was happening, just a typical drive-thru. He just bumped him and he was gone.

I'm bringing this to you guys to ask if any of you have witnessed other friendly fire events in MGSV. They didn't switch statuses or put a notice out for intruders so I know they didn't just find a dead body, they just kinda cursed it all and went about their business.

Soviets are cold, man.

I like how when a goat's in the road, they'll leave the truck and tell it to fuck off.

But when their best friend Dmitri is in the road, it's natural selection at that point.
