Split-screen.com: "It's one thing to pin a thought based on something that Hideo Kojima kind of, sort of, maybe alluded to. Case in point, the cybernetic ninja version of Raiden rumoured as the protagonist of the Next Metal Gear Solid. However, when it comes to deciding what Kojima's next magnum opus should have, much less fix from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots? Not so easy. Understandable, since Kojima and his team have built a rep for turning the expectations of fans upside-down, then inside-out and finally injecting it with FOXDIE. After looking over the basic genesis of Metal Gear Solid's gameplay over the years, along with some of the more nagging problems that remained up till MGS4, we list 5 features that the Next Metal Gear Solid must have."
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
thats all. the only man who can replace snake!!
It must have exclusivity on the Playstation 3 or suffer the path to mediocrity.A path which all 360 exclusives are familiar with.
Metal Gear solid is nothing but cutscenes and cyborg ninjas, and while raiden is much more powerful than than regular characters, he's nowhere near as powerful as gray fox. Plus if it does star raiden it would most likely take place before/during his transformation into the cyborg ninja we all know and love today.
My fellow Sony gamers, what the next Metal Gear Solid should have is a "Conversion Program" designed for our fellow 360 gamers suffering from a variety of crippling diseases. In order to not just promote a superior game made for classy and mature gamers (the Sony gamers of course), Kojima would also do a worldwide favor by helping 360 gamers terminally ill with MS stupidity by addressing these diseases:
Haloism: The belief that a Power Ranger rip-off is better than any
other games out there.
Master Chief-ism: A destructive social disease in which 360 gamers
have sexual fantasies about Master Chief.
Xboticus Stupidicus: A deadly viral disease that forces the already
dimwitted, average 360 gamer to commit crimes
and thinking of those crimes as "normal".
Remember, my fellow Sony gamers, even though these people are pathetically stupid to save themselves, it is still our moral duty both as human beings and as a gamer to help them out. After all, it part of our ways being the "mature, classy, and intelligent" gamers that we really are. So we humbly ask Konami and Kojima to include a "Conversion Program" in their next Metal Gear Solid game. That and coupled with superior graphics, soundtrack, and storyline, the 360 dummies may finally see the light and be one of us.
GET RID OF THE INSTALLS AND LOADING TIMES.
Why not load the next area while playing the 45 minute cut scenes.
If games like Uncharted and Killzone 2 need no cutscenes... why does Metal Gear Solid 4?
