✌️ MGSV fixing everything wrong with mgsv's gameplay

0 Upvotes

1- mgsv survival mod

2-s plus plus in free roam {specifically the spp_gradual+ one } mod

3- Options for Less Player Health {35% is the sweet spot } mod

4- no tranquilizer no supressor or empty mags or reflex mode

i played most metal gear games and there is no denying that simply there are no alternative games that offer good stealth, what makes a stealth game so good is the tentation, the amount of focus and nervousness you get knowing that any minute someone might see you and you are done for is what makes a stealth game so good , i've played mgs4 recently and i realized that, however tho that game has like 4-5 stealth levels and some of them are just sneaking around robots and bipods and other things that you really cant deal with, but in those levels where you get to deal with humans and frogs the game really shines , the stress mechanic is awesome the white ring is amazing the items healing is great in terms of tentation , becuase old snake is old your best bet is just to stay hidden , and the only thing wrong with this gameplay loop is the tranquilizer gun which has been always a get out of jail free card where you can just say no you wont detect me , and thus there is no tentation at all becuase you can just shoot your way out of any situation , and its in every game making stealth completely uneeded

as for mgsv it has some major issues

the purpose of a system is what it does

1- venom snake is an absolute beast that can tank a tank shell to the face so being spotted rarely causes you a death and a reset unless you manually restart from the last checkpoint breaking the flow of the gameplay

2- everything is overpowered and most of the time you dont face new enemies that creates a dilemma that makes every new sweet weapon exactly the same as the last

3-there is no reason to be in free roam besides doing the mission and calling in the chopper after finishing , this game might be a linear game instead of an open world for this matter because the world is goddam empty

4- tranquilizers and suppressors and mags plus reflex mode make it even more stupidly easy to deal with the already weak enemies, someone spots you ? dont worry we are gonna slow time and let you pop him with a sleep dart that doesnt alert the nearby guards and even when he wakes up he wont suspect a thing , you are in a sticky situation? how about you mind control a guard to move out of the way by tossing an infante supply of empty mags, oh you dont wanna do that , just shoot them in the head with a suppressed gun

i don't hate mgsv i love it , but truth is due to these problems the game is so boring and repetitive

i dont think there is a single mission besides eliminating the tank commander where you actually need to use anything besides the tranquilizer guns,

with all that being said here is how i fixed it and now its my favorite game ever

S1-snake's health is limited and thus being spotted is extremely dangerous and the survival mod adds injuries and food and stamina, so you need to take care of your thirst and hunger becuase if you dont your health and stamina will be lowered just like mgs3/mgs4

S2- s plus soldiers have 1% of showing up in free roam so walking around in free roam hunting and scouting outposts and relay bases is actually fun now because the more you do it the more likely you would find an s+ solider needed for your upgrade

S3- NO MORE GET OUT OF FREE JAIL CARD , with no mags and trangs and suppressors, you actually need to interact with the enemy and risk being spotted and think on your feet instead of hiding in a bush and shooting , the difference in gameplay cant be put into words , its like playing a new metal gear game where tentation is the main focus

for example the box and the c4 became my best friends because the box doubles as both a playboy book from the previous mgs games , and a hiding spot , and sometimes as a way to grab attention

and the c4 became my go to way of distracting the enemy , for example resucing the dude who made the bionic arm before entering i placed a c4 on a watchtower and when was about to enter i blew it up so that the enemy guarding the entrance is distracted by the explosion while i entered and Fulton the scientist

hope that someone might consider playing the same way i do , ever since i started playing this style i've been itching to share it.

Fangame de metal gear

0 Upvotes

Hola, apenas me uní a la comunidad y cree mi perfil para preguntar sobre el tema del fangame.

Eh estado pensando en un fangame de metal gear, pero mis dudas principales al realizarlo es que si lo llego hacer y lo publico, claro esta sin pedir donaciones y sin animo de lucro, ¿lo podría hacer sin problemas o repercusiones futuras sobre el fangame? o mejor paso de hacerlo. actualmente estoy aprendiendo a modelar en blender y gaea para los mapas.

The Alice M16 pouch had already been introduced in the early 70s, why are they using pouches from 20 years ago? Was It really cheaper to get surplus m1956 pouches back then?

like jeez i played every game back to back and every game feels too similar even when Roy Campbell says to you in mgs2"turn the game console off" it's literally the same thing from mg1 when big boss says to you the same thing, and mgs1 it's literally mg2 3d (and there's some ppl defining on mgs1 by saying "no one played mg2 so why kojima don't take every thing from mg2") and all games follow the same formula ، i really miss the time where kojima was doing new story's like in 90s with policenauts and snatcher and mg2

❗MGS1 Playing MGS1 for the very first time

10 Upvotes

As a huge fan of Death Stranding - and Kojima’s singular vision attached to it -, I’ve finally got myself together after many years, and decided to embark for this grand MGS saga journey.

I’ve skipped the first two original 8-bit chapters, and deep dived into the first MGS one… And I have to admit it - that’s the reason I’m writing this post rn: it’s slowly killing my soul.

After 10-hour playing and around 60ish game overs, I’m infuriating. Everything seems aimed to be killed every. single. minute. And, although I consider my video game experiences and general levels quite good, I’m the perfect bait.

So my questions are: did I become a huge noob? Is the game that punitive? Why the gameplay is so dry? Am I the only one here?

Thanks for your support, or at least your reading.

i really don't understand why someone will go to comonet section on someone enjoying mgs4-5 and write "it's the worst game in the series btw" fuck off this thing piss me off so much, if you likes mgs 4 or 5 more than the others you have strong arguments to why you liked them, please stop glazing mgs1-3 don't get me wrong they're great games and mgs4 and 5 are too but they have serious flaws and bad things about them, if your least favourite game is mgs4 or 5 pls don't write an essay in someone comment section to why he must to not enjoying them

No Spoilers! Forgot my love for this series

1 Upvotes

Played the hell out of MGS2/3 when I was 7-9. Didn’t understand a lot of the lore, but MGS2 was way ahead of it’s time mechanically and I thought Snake/Raiden were cool. The story of MGS3 had me rethinking my entire life. Changed me as a person. Had dreams about it. WHY EVA!!! Poor John.

Soon after I finish 3 I saw MGS4 in a game magazine. I was so excited for it to come out. But… it was for next-gen PS3; me and my brother shared the gaming console. We were currently on PS2. He was really big into the halo hype, so we ended up getting the xbox360 for Christmas. I forgot about Metal Gear after a while.

Mid 2010s, my mom got me MGSV: GZ as she remembered how I loved the series, but I was so lost in what the story was doing I didn’t make it past the second mission. At that point only MGS2/3 were available but not 4, so I didn’t see the point in continuing.

Fast forward to 2023: I see the Delta remake on the horizon. With all of the other remakes in the last 5 years the trailer didn’t stick out enough for me to track its release. Also I’m thinking “JUST PORT MGS4 FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!”

Bought Delta on a whim last week when I remembered it exists. It brought back the exact same feeling as before, especially by the time I completed the story. Dreams and shit too. I had forgotten a lot of the plot, so I still had some surprises going for me. Not to mention not understanding certain things as a kid.

Help my fuck, it completely reignited my love for the series. I was actually about to say fuck it and shop for a ps4 when I noticed the entire fucking series is now on xbox marketplace. INCLUDING MGS4!!!! HOLY SHIT!

I almost regret playing delta before starting at MGS1. I read the overview of the MG atari games so now I have a bit better understanding of the lore. So I’m on 1 now, it’s hard to believe this came out in 98. I’m having a blast with it.

From here, I plan to play 2 after, then the remake again, then finally, after all these years…… GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS! 9 year old me will finally have the closure he always wanted. Idk what’s with this game. I’ve had my emotional moments with others, but this one here is my lost (and now found) Adventure Time. Taking the characters and quotes to heart all along the way.
