You can only carry a limited number of fences. Some wanders can climb fences. Some wanders can blow the fences up. They're intended for slowing small numbers of enemies down. They won't stop a swarm, which will knock the fence down in seconds.
Its not just that too, everything in this game is a chore to play vs. the quickness and responsiveness of Metal Gear Solid 5: TPP.
How would removing stamina make Survive a better survival game?
If you removed that delay, people would run around looting items willy-nilly. Survive is built around time as a resource. They had to find some way of preventing players playing the game at their own pace. Since your resources are constantly ticking down, you can't just scrape an area from top to bottom. You have to pick and choose what is worth taking. Maybe they could tune it a bit, but allowing players to just loot everything in a room in a matter of seconds would severely undermine the mechanics.
That should probably be changed. It falls into the same basket as the screen effects in Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
Nah his last good game was metal gear solid 3 after the disappointment that was 2.
It wouldn't however, considering how quickly your food/water/oxygen level depletes quicker than athletes trying to get a gold medal, we shouldn't be bothered with waiting for a stamina bar to hit green.
It's a great game but I guess you don't remember 3 too well
That's just the person not managing their thirst properly, hunger and thirst you always eat/drink to 100%. It makes hunger and thirst go down a lot slower.
You mean the one moment where she shows a scar, you cant be serious. For 99% of the game she is covered from head to toe, is a complete badass and got awesome development, but because she showed a scar in the end for more actual character development she is a bad character? I think this is beyond nitpicking
There's EVA, too. And yes, the entire scar thing in MGS3 is silly. The secondary problem with The Boss is that her entire plan is incredibly stupid and is in fact a very generic anime plot twist-slash character archetype path. You see, you have a character who is seemingly a BAD GUY and hangs out with the BAD GUYS and early in the manga/anime/game beats the shit out of the main character but mysteriously leaves them alive or they get interrupted before they can deliver a death blow -- but they're in fact a GOOD GUY all along and their plan is that once the main character defeats or kills them, they're strong enough to beat the REAL bad guy. There plenty of minor variations, but the core elements of the cliche remain the same. This is bad plotting and bad character writing because it's a ludicrously improbable gambit. It's a cliche, and a bad one. The Boss would be a whole lot more badass if she wasn't an anime cliche. The same can be said of many of the characters in Metal Gear, to be honest.
What you say is somewhat true: the actual mechanic of sneaking up on basic Wanderers and the new enemies isn't changed too much since it's still all about getting behind the enemies. I'd argue, however, that the addition of new enemy types changes things quite a bit. Grabbers drastically affect how you sneak around since you can no longer crouch run everywhere or escape as they might grab you when you flee, and Trackers make it so that you can no longer re-stealth so easily after being spotted. Watchers move their point of view a lot faster and with greater frequency than Wanderers which restricts your movement a bit as well. You knew about these enemies when you made your statement, right?
I'm not sure about the gamble that you're talking about. Backstabbing as an action works about 99% of the time where I sometimes screw up my timing on inclines. The only scenario that I can think of where the backstab might fail is when enemies turn as they become alerted to you when you crouch run within a metre of them. Regular Wanderers turn fairly slowly, thus you can usually just crouch run right to their backs and stab them. I've found that the special enemies turn a lot faster which prevents you from backstabbing them as easily, thus I crouch walk as I get close to them.
Most games are played for fun and amusement. Others like to get lost in a gripping story. Still others just want something to do to pass the time. I'd agree that the story is pretty meh in Survive and terribly executed. For me, the moment-to-moment gameplay is what I've been thoroughly enjoying for its own sake, almost like little puzzles trying to figure out the best route to backstab targets, order of operations, bypassing enemy defences (namely the other enemy types beyond the basic Wanderer), and finding ways to skip entire enemy encounters entirely. I've been highly enjoying how tense it can be weaving through a crowd of Wanderers and picking them off one by one with the chance that, at any moment, one of them will turn and spot me. Later in the game, I've also been enjoying how Grabbers create zones of slow movement, Watchers cut off some of my avenues of approach, and Trackers prevent me from re-stealthing after being spotted. Have you watched anything in between the multiplayer, base-defence beta and the final part of the campaign which (I hear - haven't finished the game yet) also involves a massive base-defence-style mission? There's a lot of game that happens to get from the start of the campaign to the end.
If you're having trouble with stamina, then you just aren't managing it very well or you're low on water. Stamina regenerates if you stop using it UNLESS you deplete it to zero which triggers a brief cooldown. Just don't let it get to zero and then it works exactly as you seem to want it to. Also, if you're having problems with food/water/oxygen, you're wasting too much time somehow. Watch my video and tell me that my food/water/oxygen and stamina are depleting too fast.
I'm pretty annoyed at people, particularly the so-called professionals, throwing around falsehoods: I guess that makes us pretty even. Feel free to stay in your bubble and not read anything related to Metal Gear Survive.
There are huge consequences from killing every encounter and that is your oxygen tank. You waste too much time and then the kuban energy you gained gets used up filling in oxygen hence you have to be efficient and decide whether you kill everything or lure them away.
You're going to have to be more specific with the kinds of "dynamic freedom" and "interesting stealth scenarios" that you're referring to. To me, Survive is just as good at creating interesting scenarios as MGS V was with it's somewhat braindead AI that were highly predictable and easily manipulated. In fact, in some ways Survive is better because the enemies don't follow a set patrol pattern that makes soldiers artificially predictable. You also have enemies that alter the stealth dynamic depending on the placement of fake-dead Wanderers, Grabbers, Watchers, and Trackers... all of which you knew about and the kinds of effects that they have, right?
But it is, don't be ridiculous.
Don't forget he also put his name before and after every mission on MGSV.
In most cutscenes with EVA it instructs you to hold a button to stare at her breasts. I also like how you pretend MGS4 doesn't exist, between Naomi's outfit and various cutscenes as well as the Beauty and the Beast unit. You know, that unit of women modeled after super attractive models and put into skin tight outfits which can pose and dance for you in the game as well as seductively climb on top of Snake? Or the whole Meryl in her underwear scenes in MGS1.
There's also Policenauts, which is easily his most problematic game.
That snatcher ending was certainly something. Like kojima was hooked on harem animes at the time...
There are tips to make it more forgiving, for e.g. there are sheep near the base and respawn every time you quit to title menu and go back in which will take care of your hunger problem. Also eat/drink to 100%, makes them go down slower.
Same here especially since it's been reviewing badly. There's a lot of people who liked the game but you can say that on all critically panned games.
Thank you for summing up my thoughts 100%. It's been tough to put into words, especially with the nature of the internet and how people love to dogpile on anything and everything.
You can also one-shot armored baddies by spearing them through the eye opening in their helmet
Disgusting objectification of women is not a good thing my dude and wanting it is misogynistic.
This atleast is by player decision and not forced onto a main character.(I hope?)
Like I love the MGS series to death, it's one of my all time favorites and I still play MGSV, and I'm excited as fuck for Death Stranding and even just it's CG trailers. But putting people like Kojima on obscene pedestals gives them the confidence and arrogance to do this and all the other nasty shit.
