Hideo Kojima, in a recent interview with IGN, stated that there wouldn't be much dialogue from Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Should Metal Gear Solid's Snake keep quiet? One writer thinks that muzzling Snake takes away what made him iconic in the first place.
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
"Kojima is a visionary video game director, but he’s wrong here. No matter how I try to interpret his words, I can’t help but feel like he simply doesn’t understand Snake. "
This here is not Snake. This here is the Big Boss that is driven by Revenge. So you cant expect him to happy and talkative like he was before. Big Boss is man ascending to madness and hell so its hard for him to be cheery.
I cant help but feel that this article is useless and the author doesn't understand what Big Boss is really going through here.
Some might disagree with me here. But I look forward to see more silent Big Boss :D. Don't get me wrong, I love all the codec calls and how much Snake talked in previous games. I think people might be misunderstanding Kojima-san.
Because I'm sure Big Boss will get to talk a lot in TPP cutscenes, but it will feel like he don't talk much at all compared to Kaz or Ocelot. Why? Because he ain't going to talk all the time over the codec while exploring the open world zones etc. I don't think Kojima would just use Kiefer as a silent dude, no way.
Also imo Big Boss being silent makes sense. Here's why: He's being through some serious crap since GZ, losing his MB and close brothers, going into long coma, hunted down when waking up, losing one arm, getting a huge freakin shrapnel stuck into his head that turn him into a demon, wounds all over his face and other eye, finding out Kaz's condition etc.
This can change a person so he ain't in a happy, talkative mood in TPP. He is turning into the madman from MG1, so expect to see less jokes. Well this is what I think :). I believe Kojima knows his saga & characters better than anyone, and he is trying something new here which will result in a masterpiece. Maybe less words for BB, but the beautiful Facial Motion Capture tech makes up for it, just watch GDC trailer chopper scene for example and you know what I mean. (sry for long post lol )
The talking is done Big Boss just wants to take action!
I agree with this article. As soon as I heard it announced that Metal Gear was going open world, I started fearing for the game. Then changing Snake's voice actor?... The fear started to grow. Then Hideo saying that Snake wouldn't talk much, and that Snake has always just been an extension of the player?.... I'm full on worried. Dark pointed out that it is Big Boss that we will be playing. Driven by revenge. Even so, Big Boss has always been a talker, even when we meet him as Solid.
I still can't wait to get my hands on the game, I just fear that it's moved in such a different direction that it will lose some of what caused me to fall in love with the series in the first place.
On the other hand, I Kojima... Ultimately, this is his story... These are his characters. I should have faith that he will, once again deliverer one of my favorite experiences in gaming. Jumping back to that first hand for a second.... I trusted Lucas to make awesome Star Wars prequels. I still have a sore spot about that. Jar Jar freakin Binks!
Nobody can replace David hayter.... and kojima you did a mistake for letting biggy boss dont talk so much..
