Metal Gear Solid. The Phantom pain.

I thought the prologue was fantastic. Felt some tension and obviously genuine mystery.

I even forgot that I was playing a tutorial, since it was so well done. It only clicked a bit later, because up until that point I was just playing some intense metal gear in my mind.

I don't know, if you found that dragged along a bit too much, I think you probably suffered and didn't full appreciate the hallway sequence in 4 or the ladder in 3. haha.
 
No wonder they gave this pile of dung away for free with GTX cards.
They still won't let you bind the arrow keys........how is that fair to those to DO NOT game exactyl as these a-hole devs intend?
The arrogance of them........Shame i can't ask for my money back....seeing as it was free.

Have you got patch 1.003?

Are you left handed? If so can't you use other keys? Or use a controller pad?

But why shouldn't he be able to use the arrow keys? Other than the game running well it's a fairly garbage PC port.

He absolutely should be able to, and it's lazy that they didn't include more video/sound options and more keymapping options.

But in the absence of that possibility, perhaps moving to a controller, which I expect the game is optimized for anyway (as was Witcher 3) instead of whining, getting angry and railing against the man would be more productive and allow him to enjoy the game?
 
Can’t say I’ve found the keys that bad, sure they could be better but there have been much worse. Some of the options (and lack off) are lazy, but it’s clear a lot of work went into the game on the whole so I’m willing to let them patch that in.

As for being a bad PC port… it runs well, looks good and doesn’t crash every 5 minutes on launch. That makes it better than many games designed for the PC let alone one created for consoles and ported over.
 
Just completed the prologue. Got an A ranking somehow. lol. Was having issues with my xbox 360 controller not working properly while playing so surprised.

The whole thing up to now is a bit confusing, not Metal Gear Solid like to me (story wise). Hope it improves :)
 
Hard to argue with some of the points the reviewer made. Never a 10, good game yes but not a masterpiece. 23.45 on the video, the guard has his back turned to the person you have to extract, surely in a masterpiece game he would have tried to defend him. Missions really repetitive and there's nothing to the world
 
In terms of gameplay I think it is one of the best games ever made. It is just a shame everything else has been sacrificed. Motherbase is a shell with no real point, characters are put on the sidelines and barely interact with each other(and when they do it is usually on the awful cassette tapes). The story is very poor considering the material they were working from. Far from being the amazing missing chapter of the Big Boss story, it i basically just a series of barely connected side missions that do not progress the series at all.

I think I am pretty close to the end now, and honestly I think this is the metal gear game(other than those card ones) that is the least important to the overall story!
