Once the truly awful registration process was completed, MGO ran pretty much without a hitch -- or, at least as well as you could expect a public beta originating from Japan to run. We experienced sporadic connection problems -- specifically when the host decided he'd had enough for the day -- and a few inopportune moments of lag that allowed an enemy solider to get the jump on me and close-quarters-combat my brains out. I can't possibly speak on behalf of the entire beta-player population, but MGO ran pretty solidly. Forgive the pun.
I'm not sure how I feel about MGO. I know it's not an FPS, nor does it strive to be. It's not a straight-up third-person action game, either. The pace is methodical and unique, inescapably bonded to how we've all learned to play Metal Gear. The controller calisthenics will likely turn off many newcomers, and even give veterans the need to reacclimate themselves to pressing all sorts of button combinations and quickly decide on different aiming methods. The omniview camera means that you can't really sneak up behind someone without them seeing you, which lends to lots of dizzying camera-twirling -- it's definitely the most paranoid online game I've played...
The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.
No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.
Meh
Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.
Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.
I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.
Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.
Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.
Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.
Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.
If you're replaying MGS1 in any of its available forms, you'll want to know how to unlock all the best items in the game!
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
I had a lot of fun in the beta. Cannot wait for MGS4 and MGO to be released I won't be seeing much sunligt this summer.
At start i must say that it was not that easy and i was not sure about the slow mouvement and all then i played few games and i loved it!
It is a very nice multiplayer game, it plays different and we only saw a part of it, i'm sure they will add a lot of new fun content.
The mode with snake is awesome! tough but awesome
its not easy but just like mgs if ur a fan of the series ull be a fan of mgo these games arent for everyone
This game is for the hardcore. Those thinking this is just a jump in and kick a$$ are going to fin out that there is a learning curve to MGO. I seriously thought that it was tons of fun after u learn the control mechanism's. Its easilly one of the funnest online games ive played this year.
i loved the mgo beta. doubt ill play it again till im thru mg4 at least once. although it was annoying whenever i died a bunch of times with no reply (probably mostly due to embarrassment) i found it a lot less infuriating than the majority of online shooters. i liked the speed (or lack of) of your character it really adds weight and realism.
