Have you all had a good time playing so far? I’m definitely enjoying it, it lives up to what I expected. Of course there are some frustrating mechanics, but nothing that ruins the experience. Regarding FOBs, I’ve heard there are many cheaters using trainers, so I came up with a strategy to stay safe. Plus, the idea that they can steal your stuff while you’re away is just nonsense.
I focus only on SP. It's an enjoyable game. However, I find it frustrating that missions need to be played multiple times to complete everything. All objectives should be accessible right from the start of each mission. In general, it offers a solid experience and a nice setting. Konami has done a decent job here, if such a term even applies. I enjoy a blend of stealth and combat elements. And it's surprisingly quiet—great for a game about pixels and polygons.
I threw the multiplayer aside right away and can’t connect to the servers anymore. That’s fine—nothing matters that way. As a Metal Gear game, it’s pretty average at best. Mostly because the story suffers from slow pacing in an open-world style. But the gameplay is the best Stealth Action experience I’ve ever played. I’m really happy with that. Also, I’m super frustrated with Quiet—it’s just so confusing and full of the worst in-game explanations ever. Completely out of place.
It wasn't what I anticipated, but I’m not too bothered about it. It’s great they could come up with such an unusual idea.
Absolutely, that's exactly what I believed. I rely on the FOB system mainly for staff advantages.
I'm a newcomer to this tale, and it didn't capture my attention. It seemed like a promising real-life game could turn into something unrealistic and over-the-top, which only made things worse. The content felt too similar, with just a couple of missions, offering nothing exciting for me.
Played the game assuming it was intense, then a flying girl wearing a gas mask appeared, followed by someone wielding fireballs, and later zombies with extraordinary abilities. It became obvious the developers were Japanese, with characters that clearly reflect Japanese design styles. In all Japanese-made titles, there’s a recognizable style of character expressions.
The game offers many activities and is enjoyable, but it doesn't match the style of MGS. We're not close to Sneaker Eater or even MGS 1. The dialogue feels weak compared to others, and the lack of voice acting from Big Boss is a bit off-putting. Still, overall it's a solid title.
I don’t feel comfortable with a mostly quiet Snake, though the gameplay is enjoyable when exploring their bases and taking their characters. It feels slow to complete side quests before moving forward on the main path. I’ve looked up homichlophobia online, and I’m curious about how many soundtracks and helicopter music tracks have been shared on YouTube so far.
