Sony did nothing with the system. It was nothing more than a placeholder for the next generation. All the nice shit you could do with the XMB they gutted out. It had no worthwhile exclusives aside from just a couple probably. The only exclusive I really liked was Ghost of Tsushima since it was devoid of globohomo shit entirely.
A buddy of mine bought it and I asked, "so, what games did you get for it?" and his answer was "ah... nothing, yet."
MGSV was a 60 hour PS2 level wasteland simulator. Kojima is a hack. What kind of Tomlinson-esque narcissistic faggot sticks credits all throughout his creation?
I agree with everything you said. One of the writers/production staff - a woman, actually - said that Kojima is a big picture, big concept guy, but can't write to save his life. He's like Vince McMahon in that he's nothing unless he's surrounded by the right guys.
I never understood this.
i skipped max payne 3 so gta v was the first time i realised how gay rockstar became, people shit on iv but they at least took it serious (i loved it to be completelyfuckinawnest), v on the other hand just felt so reddity, "wow, isn't it funny how we just killed a guy but we're lawfin", yeah ok, what's the next joke, faggot?
When I say "gameplay" I mean the actual control, the physics, of moving Snake around in Phantom Pain was great. Alternating between sprinting, running, walking, crouching and sneaking, crawling, diving out the way when someone caught a glimpse... it was maybe the best in the series, but it was wasted on such a disappointing game. In hindsight, people give Snake Eater shit because it takes time to adjust face paint and camouflage, but it felt like you were doing something. In 4, all you do is go next to something and it changes your camo index. Where's the thought in that? At least in TPP, they were just like "ah fuck it" and didn't let you have unlimited weapons.
Is there anybody that didn't like GTA4? I liked it. GTA5 totally shit the bed.
The retarded criticism of 4 is such a "this is not what I'm used to!" complaint. Oh no, the physics have improved and the protagonist is more relatable and realistic. Oh no!
And none of these is remotely memorable or engaging. The Metal Gear in this is a half assed Gundam that jumps around like a retard.
MGS2 to me is criminally misunderstood and the best game of the series. It was designed as you said, to make you uncomfortable and enrich Snake's shadow over the series.
4 and 5 online sucks unless you're playing with a bunch of your own people since the only goal of anyone in the open map is to seek out and eliminate any other player that joins rather than, you know, doing something cooperatively which would actually be fun. It's also always pre-pubescent kids doing this in an M rated game I might add
We usually agree Tony, but I'm one of the haters of MGS2.
Maybe I should clarify that I think it's the best in terms of it's themes and grander scope. The series at that point never had a core villain and then you're introduced to (((The Patriots))).
The originals were still on Steam until a few weeks ago but they made Steam pull them and then like you said everything has to go through that dumb launcher.
