Topic	MGSV may have missed the mark narratively, but its gameplay is a 10/10
MrMallard 07/12/20 9:50:20 AM #29:	MGS5 has the worst story in the series, but it also has the best gameplay. I got the PS3 version on launch for $90 AUD, and I don't regret it to this day. Honestly, I do think that MGS5 is a flawed product in a lot of ways. The way they do Huey in this game is just totally dogshit, to the point I retroactively hate how they put him in Peace Walker, and ~~Strangelove~~ got treated disgustingly. Just total disrespect all around. But the gunplay feels so good, I love how you're able to build your base up, I love the upgrade trees, I love how you're able to get into different mission areas and do certain tasks - it's the perfect podcast game. I can't lie, the franchise was probably better off ending after the fourth game at the latest. I like Peace Walker a lot, but for narrative cohesion, no games should exist after MGS4 - hell, MGS3 even. The story of 5 is bland, it never really picks up, and once it starts to get worse it never gets better. Anything you liked about the Peace Walker characters is gone, and the whole game builds up to a twist that is totally, 100% unnecessary - it's like MatPat wrote the game to justify one of his pedantic game theories. But at the end of the day, with its faults - especially regarding the story - Metal Gear Solid 5 is a fun game to play, and I can unironically say that I consider it to be good on the metric of gameplay alone. Bad Metal Gear game, at least as far as story goes, but I would still recommend it for its gameplay. --- Are you proud to be a Mayonnaise American? <cite>MrMallard posted [p:942007623] in MGSV may h...
