- 90% of the game is literal filler. pretty much nothing of actual narrative importance happens until like mission 29 and then by 30 that is done and there's nothing going on till the end
- only 2 real boss battles
- the game is literally unfinished, with entire major plot points left with no resolution
- there is a giant open world with absolutely nothing to do in it and practically no incentive to do anything other than land at your objective, complete it, and extract
- the whole second act of the game is just playing missions from the first on hard mode
- Mother Base is basically a smartphone game shoehorned in and is extremely unfun, and it keeps adding new features as you play so the player never really gets a hang for it
- the story is borderline nonsensical and rife with multiple plotholes, and the ending of the game is terrible
- Skull Face is one of the worst villains in recent video game memory
- Whoa-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- It's mandatory to do certain sidequests, mother base upgrades, and listen to certain codec calls as a way to unlock the next story mission because Konami realized there wasnt enough content and needed ways to pace the player without having to get into good game design
- Snake has very few speaking lines for whatever reason, so there are tons of times when people will speak to him and he'll just stand there like an idiot not saying anything, even if they ask a question intended to start a dialogue
Strongly agree. Big mgs fan here, absolutely loved Snake Eater. Guns of the patriots was ok and now mgs5 is even more generic and meaningless imo. And I sincerely resent choosing Kiefer over David Hayter. What the fuck is that? Why
Snake eater was better than mgs5 in every way, for me. Mgs5 I can't even bring myself to beat mission 14 or so. I also think the skulls are too anime and ridiculous
