I don't see how the villains (and thereby the child soldier plot element) were humanized and justified. Weren't they all just evil and 'bat shit insane'? Compared to other MGS characters they were pretty straightforward in their wickedness.

this game is a knock off Devil May Cry

x5exotic4054d ago

New DmC is possibly the worst game I've ever played, so don't even try to glorify it.

zAlchemist4053d ago

its better than metal gear revengeance it sucks everything about it is garbage. DMC is good and looks good

valormeer4053d ago

Your troll was bad and you should feel bad.

zAlchemist4053d ago

How was that trolling? its an opinion.

1nsaint4053d ago

Why? Because it's an hack and slash?

Then dante's inferno, bayonetta and ninja gaiden are also DMC rip-offs in your eyes.

Compared to most of that genre games the gameplay is more original then most hack and slash games, with the whole cutting objects in half thing.

Heisenburger4053d ago

"...an hack and slash?"

*giggles*

1nsaint4053d ago

@heisenburger lol i've always thought games where you walk around in 3rd person making combo's and countering where called hack and slash.

Hmm i'll call it 3rd person action adventure platformers from now on then :P

rdgneoz34053d ago

@1nsaint I think the giggle was over your grammar. "A hack and slash", not "AN hack and slash."

1nsaint4053d ago

@rdgneoz3 ah ok, maybe the people that disagreed forgive me if i tell im dutch :p
My english grammar isn't perfect, i dont even know the difference between a and an xD

the whole game was a disappointment. I really hope platinum games doesn't get the chance to do a metal gear game ever again.

betan214054d ago

Yep i was only into the gameplay other than that i was like WHAT???

baldulf4054d ago

Terrible final boss? This guy is clueless.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion319d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken319d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501319d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken318d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992319d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion319d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic320d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne319d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B319d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
