| globalisateur said: The main problem of Peace walker, your reasons why you hated it, is mostly because it was originally a PSP game that had to be restricted in levels size, complexity and AI of opponents. And your critics are valid but I spent so much times (and enyoyed it) in the management of my base that I thought in the end that aspect of the game made the game overall better, with more interesting gameplay, than some others MGS games (like MGS 2 and 3). I am not sure why I didn't like MGS4, probably the reasons many people didn't like it. I wasn't compelled to play (and finish) the game like the others. |
What you say is very true. I sometimes wonder if I played it on the PSP if I would have liked it. Though the A.I. and the map size was bigger on the PS1 original as far as I can remember. So I am a little bit miffed on that part. The PSP was more powerful that the PS1, at least graphically. I suppose, I never tried to base management so I really can't comment on that. It does look really cool in The Phantom Pain. As for the gameplay I found it the weakest in the series.
That is interesting. I've heard most fans say it's pretty much the best in the series and it has in my opinion the best gameplay. Though I can understand one point that a lot of people had with that game. If you haven't played all the past titles, the story will not make any sense to you. The whole plot is literally taking all the themes and lore of all the games and brining it full circle. They reference so many things without explaining any of it to the player. You were expected to know everything about the series with this game. That was one of the reason I loved it, it really compelled me to see how everything tied together and how it ended with no stone left unturned. Except for the big question being, what was Ocelots intentions fully? The Phantom Pain presumably will answer that now that we know he was more of an anti-hero. The other complaint people had was that the cutscenes were too long. That was kind of the point..... "leaving no stone unturned". This was a first for gaming, and for now it is still the last. The Phantom Pain is going to show us the rise of Big Boss! :)
