CraveOnline: "It’s amusing to think of Shigeru Miyamoto as a primary influence on Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima. Though a professed admirer of the Mario creator’s work, the two men couldn’t be more different outside of their penchant for making fantastic videogames. Miyamoto is the modest genius who lives a simple life and works in his garden (which gave him the idea for Pikmin), while Kojima, though certainly a humble guy in interviews, has an obvious flair for the dramatic. I’d imagine that’s a prerequisite for someone who describes his next game as one that offers “limitless gameplay,” almost as nonchalantly as if it were a footnote or tacked-on feature. “Oh, yes, we decided to toss in ‘limitless gameplay’ this year. Finally got around to that.”"
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
The Metal Gear series has sold 60.2 million copies, as of September 2023.
Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.
...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is another rollercoaster of a game in the Metal Gear Solid series. Here's what to expect and why you need to experience it.
Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…
I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that
The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.
Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.
Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.
The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.
The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.
The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.
MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
Maybe, but obviously it depends on what else is shown. I think a new Red Dead trailer/presentation would have a bigger impact, also because we've already seen quite a bit of what we can expect from the new MGS?
... and if Shenmue 3 is shown, Shenmue 3 will win. Simple as that.
When companies show great games (and they actually come to market), the real winner is me. :D
I'm not sure, depends on what Kojima has up his sleeve in the 30 min demonstration/ 5 min trailer for MGSV.
It's weird that I'm more interested in 3rd party games this E3 then I am with The big 3 conferences. I'm looking forward to seeing MGSV hopefully a reveal of RDR2, some new info on the Division and something exciting for Destiny. Halo is also on my radar and so is sun set over drive but not as much as the third party games.
I'm a little worried about Sony's presentation mostly because I have a feeling they will focus to much on Morpheus and not enough on games. But only time will tell. 2 more days!
I remember a time when kojima and his team would be the only games to look forward too. Every single developer has learned from kojima. I am so surprised how a lot of the younger gamers totally disregard the metal gear series. Metal gear games have set the standards for both graphics and game play mechanics for decades.
The only other games i can see winning e3 over metal gear would be uncharted, last guardian, ff15,destiny.
Mgs5 already won by announcing its presence lol
