Seriously, it is like someone threw all cliche actions things together and made a bad b-movie out of it.
Welcome to Metal Gear, brrrrrrother!
Seriously, it is like someone threw all cliche actions things together and made a bad b-movie out of it.
WTF is this?
The only Metal Gear you need to play:
you poor thing, lol i even loved mgs5 150 hours played loooved the gameplay.. but yeah as your first in the sereis... 😑 play mgs2 and 3 anyway you canRecently I got my hands on a cheap copy of MGS V. My first Metal Gear. I expected some kind of serious espionage stealth game with some comedy elements , since I knew about side kicks like the carton box.
After playing the prologue, my only reaction was, what the f did I just watch and "play"?
Seriously, it is like someone threw all cliche actions things together and made a bad b-movie out of it. The music is great, the camera directing is great, but everything else? Why are the soldiers that dumb? Why do they stop the execution right before shooting the main character and his buddy? It is ridiculously designed in my opinion, not serious at all. On top of that there is this fire demon which does not fit into my expectations at all. And why is this so long with so little control? Why am I forced to crawl for like 10 minutes until I finally get up "magically" because my meds kick in like instantly after being nearly disabled.
And why the hell did I create a character to throw it away immediately?!
Is the prologue only enjoyable for MGS veterans? Will it be explained soon or do I have to complete the game for it?
Actually the beginning upset me so much that I finally googled what exactly LTTP means and decided this would be appropriate as first topic of this kind lol
The best Metal Gear game. Enjoy. Everything picks up after the opening.
I hope I'm never this wrong about anything in my life.lol no
I really don't see what Platinum fans see in this overhyped piece of shit. The combat is awful, the characters suck, and the music is so bad that it's apparently "good".
Sorry I didn't meant it was good or bad, or better or worse than any other cinematic or introductory part of the game.
I just meant once any person gets to the 100 hour mark and realizes there's basically only 1 other mission in the entire game that is similar to the prologue (or past MGS games in general) in terms of more linear and focused storytelling, they may wish there was more missions at least similar to the prologue assuming they prefer linear (MGS1-4) to open world (V).
Wasn't speaking for myself, just generally to one of the most common complaints.
lol no

Opening is incredible. A one-armed vet escaping from hell on Earth as a hospital is shot up by enemy soldiers and supernatural beings.
Metal Gear as a series has crazy stories. If you don't like it, don't play.
I don't get why you would want video games to NOT be crazy and balls-to-the-wall insanity. Like, if you want boring things, don't play exciting things.
It's not. It's utter shite.Is the prologue only enjoyable for MGS veterans?

So you choose the worst metal gear solid for your first one damn I feel sorry for you.
5 is utter shite and actually makes you hate some returning characters.
The introduction to MGS V is Ground Zeroes imo, not Phantom Pain.
True it's definitely even more linear than the others... MGS 1 and 2 had great balance. That said, I actually think the TPP prologue and MGS 3 prologue are pretty similar in terms of player control.Fair enough! I just feel like the intro really misses the mark and doesn't feel like the other metal gear games either. In the old games, you were always thrown right into the action after the opening cinematic; the games always alternated between really gamey action and cinematics, whereas this time they tried to do both at the same time which really didn't work in my opinion; it felt like a badly executed version of something Naughty Dog would do. But yeah, I guess for people who like linear experiences this was better than nothing.
Which isn't bad per se because it's still an awesome prologue. MGS3 in general is the GOAT action-story game IMO. One of the best prologues around, and basically the best 'action movie final act' (the last 2 hours or so) in a game. So in general, it does no wrong in my eyes.
I just meant, even as a MGS 3 fan, sometimes I forget how little gameplay the first 1-2 hours of MGS3 has, and TPP isn't all that unlike it. Different themes and type of gameplay, but a similar amount of time spent not really playing the game.
i assume other have already answered your questions, so here's a pro tip: turn off slow-mo in the options. it instantly becomes the greatest stealth game of all-time
My mistake, meant to say that the game doesn't play like the prologuedoesn't play as well? It's the best stealth game ever.
The gameplay is the best. The story is the worst.I havent played 5 yet, is it that bad compared to the rest?
but that ruins the fun of observation, studying the level layouts, deciding when and where to use certain weapons while unseen... =(this sounds cool but i'd get caught all the time without reflex mode!
That said, I actually think the TPP prologue and MGS 3 prologue are pretty similar in terms of player control.
The character you created is playable in Metal Gear Online, the game's multiplayer.
I'm really surprised that the opening sequence seems so reviled here. I was under the impression that it was well-regarded and considered one of the game's highlights.
Yup. Compared to MGS 1-4, its really not that good, doesnt have that "leave you in awe" that the first 4 had, and isnt teally memorableIt's the shittiest prologue of any MGS game.

By far. It's terrible. It's even worst for MGS veterans as we were expecting greatness.It's the shittiest prologue of any MGS game.
You are going to hate quiet and probably every character at the base.
Gameplay get better thought, much better.
Nonsense will continue and get worse.

It's by far the best in terms of gameplay.
The prologue is the best and most MGS like part of the game. For better or worst, that batty shit is the reason I love the series.
I don't hate MGSV - I just can't believe that the series will end on such an uncharacteristic note.
Oh my fucking lord, no. If nothing else, OP - ignore this post.
