Why are we here?

this but unironically

What the fuck when the fuck did HALF A FUCKING DECADE PASS???

Genuinely I can't fathom how people enjoy this game at all. Even ignoring the cut content, it's empty and things were removed on purpose by Kojima that were finished or half finished, like Battle Gear or Venom's dialogue. The story is ass backwards retarded - the only likable character is Kaz and his 12 different names are never explained even in a tape. Liquid is reduced to being a static character identical to how he is in adulthood, cementing him as an eternal manchild who doesn't even have any real reasons to be mad at Big Boss when as far as he knows Big Boss (actually Venom) was one of the only adults who tried to treat him decently. Quiet is quite possibly one of the worst characters ever written in any medium, literally too fucking dumb to even take a pencil and paper to write anyone anything, with a design almost as stupidly bad looking as the tank top and jeans shit every female character has these days and a more forced sob story than the B&Bs from MGS4, and yet people worship her as some "great waifu" and she's the only Metal Gear character that gets porn besides Sunny for some fucking reason. It just left out all the shit like doing shit with Fox, meeting the Outer Heaven mercs including Vulcan Raven and meeting Wolf, and barely shows Big Boss becoming a villain (and even though he's a side character all his actions are out of his hands - he totally lacks agency and everything is done for him, which even Solid Snake broke free of during his turn as a non-PC in MGS2).

(Continued)
The story and characters don't even work well on their own merits. Nobody fucking remembers Code Talker, Huey and Skullface are cartoonish in a way that clashes with the attempt at super seriousness, Venom doesn't talk, Quiet's mentally handicapped as mentioned earlier, Zero is an ineffectual retard who accidentally everything, Big Boss gives up on his soldiers just... because? and he's given a get out of jail free card to do it without really agreeing to anything, just going along with shit. All the Peace Walker characters besides Huey are forgotten, too, just dumped unceremoniously or killed offscreen despite this supposedly being a sequel to PW.

Even ignoring all this the gameplay sucks. The animals are just collectibles with no purpose unlike MGS3, and you can't even see most of them in the game world, needing to leave traps that auto catch them. The world between the little tiny camps is totally barren for no real reason at all. It's boring getting from point A to point B, this would be easily fixable with regular patrols and random encounters of some kind but they just decided not to. There's one bossfight that isn't terrible, Quiet's, and it's pretty good but it doesn't excuse the tons of other terrible fucking fights you have to gruel through. Would've thought they'd have learned how important good bosses are from 4 and PW, but I guess not. And then there's the guns - also same problem as 4 and PW, there's a dozen rifles all the same, but now there's not even any wacky weapons like those games had. The base management is also a step down from Peace Walker, somehow. I don't know how they made the game this fucking bad

i wish i still could enjoy this game, i got 50 hours into it before it just turned into a chore
