I thought mgsv was the worst by far. Mgs4 isn't mgs3 or 1 but it's good.
Msg4 is an absolutely disgusting experience imo. The gameplay is 10/10, and some.of the story is good, but the experience is disgusting. Even the great parts (act 1 and 2, closely followed by 30 minutes of act 4) are ruined by constant interruption in cutscenes and codec calls, there's no great weapon/ability economy like in the classic games.
Agree with both of these posts. Death Stranding told a complete story that was really beautiful in places. I wouldn't like to see that undercut by a sequel. I also really want a Kojima horror game.
i am only 15 or so hours in the slow pacing and world building works so well but they need to play up the cosmic horror even more unless it gets so later as i am on order 38 so far.
The game's ability to sabotage every idea that briefly seemed interesting is nothing short of remarkable. Even the stunning surreal imagery introduced in its early cutscenes gets entirely demystified by the end. I couldn't believe my eyes when they reintroduced that one BT as a Kingdom Hearts boss. What a waste.
It goes to show how utterly empty and devoid of any meaning all the stuff Kojima writes. Dude should play to his awesome strenghts in being a gameplay system and visual designer and leave story beats and world creation to an actual writter. It really is mind boggling how everything even remotly interesting gets brought down to nothing.
