"You must complete all story missions with an S-Rank"... well that counts me out then. I love my aerial bombardments way too much - even thoough they cost a fortune. It's funny though, why allow Snake to call in air support when it means he can't then get an S-Rank?

MetalGear813153d ago

That counts me out too. I have a lot of A-Rank though

LightofDarkness3153d ago

Because it's a stealth game, and Snake is a stealth operative. It's out of character/canon for him to do such things on missions. You're supposed to be playing as stealthily as possible, but just as in the real world, you're given whatever options you wish to tackle the situation. And just like in the real world, don't expect to be rewarded for reckless actions as well as you're rewarded for exacted, precision operations.

ArchangelMike3153d ago

I was under the impression that sleeping gas bombardment is a stealth option. I think it's a better option than sending in Quiet to assassinate everyone at the outpost o.0

Hueynewton20123153d ago

I agree, but thou shall not kill lol. For me i take too much time completing the mission without alerts and i still get penalized.I sure hope this suit is offered as dlc or a secondary way of obtaining it.

LightofDarkness3153d ago

Yeah, if there's one thing I'd knock the game for, it's the ranking system. You can go in loud, lethal and quick and get an S rank, whereas slow methodical stealth play is penalized because of time. I personally feel like S ranks should only be awarded to players who achieve the Perfect Stealth bonus.

Summons753153d ago

Because it was put in for people who need the game easier because they can't do the mission correctly the first time. Of course it's going to punish you for taking the easy way out.

ArchangelMike3153d ago

You are already penalised for calling in air support as it cost a small fortune. But the thing is I use the sleeping gas aerial bombardment - which technically should still be a stealth option as it just puts everyone to sleep. It doesn't really make the game easier either as the bombardment usually puts an outpost on alert if they are not all asleep. It's not really an "easy way out."

Hope we have these special characters in MGO again.

boodi3153d ago

no super jump and katana .. why ..

Whitefox7893152d ago

Reason: Because he was an asset from Ground Zeroes for the Jamais Vu mission. He does jump much farther than BB but its not the super jump he can do in MGS4/Revengence cinematics. It is instead that edge jump. I remember modding Ground Zeroes to play through the main mission as him I would actually used the jump to knockout enemies by landing ontop of them.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan175d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara176d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus176d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow175d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

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…

Cacabunga191d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19191d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19191d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq191d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger191d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder191d ago

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.

YourMommySpoils191d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder191d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85191d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac191d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420191d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim191d ago

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.

KyRo191d ago

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
