Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I just hit the 31 hour mark at chapter 8. The late game deliveries can get pretty intense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) The online features are a huge part of the game, I personally wouldn't recommend playing it offline. Edited November 14, 2019 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,548 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Finished it last night. So much I want to talk about. Easily my GOTY. Maybe my GOTG. I'll let it sit with me for a while. 5 hours ago, Voidler said: Is this worth picking up without internet connectivity?

Thankfully the final episode is breathtakingly good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The final Chapter of this and the ending is the best thing he’s done since MGS3 and rivals that’s imo. he struggles in terms of needing to explain these crazy worlds he comes up with (which is understandable given the craziness of MGS and DS) but then excels when he focuses on characters. That’s why MGS3 was so good, because of The Boss story and it’s integration into the plot. This does similar things. It’s plot resolution is pretty meh but then is followed up by arguably his best work in the final episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That one was so beyond his usual standard that I just accepted it as a silly little gaming easter egg / line. Because the game definitley breaks the 4th wall at times (like all the time in the private locker) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't played DS yet but it seems like the bosses are weaksauce. And MGSV story was so forgettable, I Dunno I'll see for myself soon enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's weakest elements are the combat and when it tries to go into MGS territory (which is tries to do later in the game), so definitely don't go into this game looking for great boss fights. This is better than MGSV in every way conceivable. The open world is better and more interesting. The story is VASTLY superior and completely finished. Will answer everything by the end (more so than most Kojima games) The gameplay loop (if it connects with you) is one of the best in any game I've played. This game is what ppl were asking for when they said they wanted gameplay strength of MGSV with the old MGS' crazy cutscenes and story. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Its obvious that the average western open world has become so routine and predictable, and completely devoid of any new or interesting ideas. You can pretty much predict almost every system and mechanic before even starting them up. Now out of the blue a japanese studio comes along and just completely changes our thought processes on what this type of game can be. And its not the first time either, I feel comfortable saying that this has the most unique implementation of online social features since Demon's Souls. All in all, DS is looking to be my GOTY as well if it ends on a high note. Edited November 15, 2019 by Twinblade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
