METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

[h3] The Fixes & Enhancements [/h3] This is a fun game, no doubt about it, but it has a lot of systems that waste time. I don’t have much time for gaming, and for me, gaming should be fun, not feel like a second job. That’s why I use these mods, to cut out the tedious stuff and spend more time actually playing. I understand that the timers add realism and make sense, especially for Base and Weapon Development. I respect the design choice, it’s just not for me. If I wanted that level of realism and waiting, I’d go outside. These mods simply let me enjoy the game without turning it into a chore.

Quiet In Millitary Uniform https://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/mods/1211 I love looking at delicious-looking female mammary glands and their soft, supple buttocks, and I’ll ogle at them whenever I get the chance. But there is a time and place for everything. Just because Kojima got horny midway through development doesn’t mean I need them shoved in my face all the damn time. I’m perfectly capable of appreciating the eye candy, but when it becomes constant and intrusive, it starts getting annoying rather than appealing. 2.

Then the dogfeces emerges from the kitchen and we are expected to dine upon it as though it were a delicacy. Chapter 2 is a fecal remix of missions we already endured, reheated and made more brain damaged for sweaty bassturds with apparently neither employment nor a social life. My advice is simple: Play until the end of Chapter 1 and then fahking stop. Do the side ops and assorted shii, then watch the remaining story cutscenes on YouTube. Let some poor bassturd endure the fecal pageantry of Chapter 2 while you sit comfortably in your drawing room, sipping tea. Chapter 1 is the game. Chapter 2 is the punishment for having enjoyed it. I absolutely fahking love this game. It is beautiful not just in graphics, but in gameplay and controls. When I first played it on PS3 during my unfortunate console peasant days, I was enamored with the presentation, buttery smooth controls, incredible gameplay, and the whole damn package. I had previously played Peace Walker, my first MGS game, and could not understand how the fahh they made it work so well on that fahh of a handheld with its faahking missing right analog stick. Yet those magnificent bassturds pulled it off. Going from Peace Walker to this was mindblowing. The controls are so damn smooth that it is almost obscene, and I enjoyed it so much on PS3 that I eventually bought the whole damn package again on PC. Then there is the sense of heroism, which I absolutely fahking love. You don't feel like some random rando in the crowd. You feel important. You rise from Hero to fahking Legend, your reputation spreads, and eventually everyone fahking knows you. Your soldiers respect you, enemy soldiers respect you, and your staff thank you for everything from rescuing animals to getting the snot beaten out of them with CQC at Mother Base. They salute you, Staff Morale increases when they see you, and when you leave Mother Base they all stand at attention and salute, making you feel like the absolute fahking king you are. It is wonderfully ridiculous, but the game sells the fantasy so damn well that you buy into it completely. You aren't merely playing a soldier. You are their Boss. Their hero. Their legend. The Fulton system is so damn funny and fun that it is frankly fahking absurd. Watching some grown ahh soldier get attached to a balloon and peacefully whisked into the heavens like a military sponsored birthday decoration never gets old. Meanwhile, all these returded games with their feces riddled moral choices can shove their philosophical navel gazing up their collective ahh. The MGS team understood something many developers have forgotten: nobody gives a turd about your moral choice system if it isn't fun. Players are selfish little bassturds. We care about what benefits us, what is fun, and what gives us useful shii. I don't spare some poor bassturd because I've discovered my inner pacifist. Fahk no. I need the stupid fahk working at my base instead of the enemy's, so I spare the fahker and Fulton the bassturd straight back to Mother Base. Problem solved. Morality has been replaced by fahking logistics. The game doesn't need to tell me killing is wrong. It simply gives me a practical reason not to kill him: he's more useful alive. Who the fahk would have thought the selfishness of players in a fake video game world could be understood so accurately? I don't spare soldiers because I'm a saint. I spare them because I need their stupid ahh working for me. The characters are also fahking interesting, wonderfully quirky, and absolutely bonkers. I love every one of these lunatics. They're so memorable that I actually went and read the whole fahking MGS story because of them. That shii is crazy, with enough twists and bullshii to make a respectable aristocrat choke on his tea. Somehow, against all reason, it fahking works. Absolutely magnificent. Utterly deranged. Five fahking stars. Then comes Chapter 2. Absolute fahking dog feces. I quit at that Backup, Back Down remix because the whole thing is so damn poopy, and by then it becomes obvious that the game was gutted. Perhaps there is one silver lining. The MGS series is no more, and maybe that's ultimately a good thing because, gentlemen, this game can never be fahking topped. This is the only stealth game I find this much fun. Everything else feels like dogturds served on a silver fahking platter. Play this game and you'll realise just how insanely fun stealth can be when made by an actual team of game developers, rather than a committee of turd eating morons.
