Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Sounds like you might want to just die instead.

Getting at chapter 2, and there's repeating missions.

What went wrong with MGSV?

kill yourself

The game should had more linear missions, and boss fights against characters, not skulls

Why did they abandoned the original MGS1 and MGS2 game style?

Why is there little to no sneaking?

The world will never know. v/tards will tell you it was kojimbos fault and fanboys will cry konami

Yeah, you could pinpoint this is exactly when Konami got tired of Kojimbo's bullshit.

>The End in MGS3
literally the best bossfight in the game and in the series.

You can play MGSV exactly the same as MGS2, there's just other options if you want them.

Bravo Kojima?

No I beat him, it was after the fact I simply lost interest.
My first time playing MGS3 I killed The End when he was in the wheelchair and my friend chastised me. So I went and beat him legit. And then after that I just stopped playing.

Old MGS games filter via terrible control schemes. Outside of V Peace Walker emulated on PS3 has the best control scheme if you want to try that. Going in release order is honestly the way to play them though as I'd argue once you forgive MGS1's issues you can deal with and make sense of the rest of the series problems.

the gameplay of these games aged badly nothing wrong with you

I didnt know anything about Kaz, going into MGS V I thought he was a brand new character.
I did know Ocelot though but it was hard to connect him with the young pistol slinger in MGS3 and also as the old guy I saw on videogame forums and media when they talked about MGS.

Huey's character was a lot darker in the lore outside of V, and Paz. Well I knew she meant something to the guy I was playing as at the time. So I was eager to understand what that was all about.
But then all the games suck.

Someone told me I'm making the same mistake right now with Yakuza by playing Yakuza 0 first, but, I just want to play the most recent best game first. Sorry.

I knew next to nothing about Kaz and Ocelot aside from some basic lore reading and still got invested in them.
This was early MGS timeline, there wasn't much before that you could go back to. MGSV fleshed out these two characters to the max, majority of their series presence was in V.

Kaz's voice acting in V is top tier. Almost carries the game on his own.
>stopped playing after The End
All of Kojima's games are both front and end loaded in terms of story and the middle is carried by top tier gameplay for the time. Sadly that's aged the worst but as some one who played MGS1-3 after playing V they all had a point about 2/3rds of the way through where the story really starts rolling and I got hooked. Hell even Death Stranding does the same thing.

>Someone told me I'm making the same mistake right now with Yakuza by playing Yakuza 0 first, but, I just want to play the most recent best game first. Sorry.
And ruin the experience of playing both new and old games like you said yourself. Fucking retard.

MGS3 to MGSV with Ocelot is very jarring. And then to MGS1.
After Liquid dies Ocelot has a reason for having jarring differences, and then in MGS4, it was all a big trick.
What the fuck is this series?

This game fills me with melancholy like no other.
I was completely subverted by the ending. It was a straight up ambush, I was played like a fucking fiddle.
Kaz was so invested on big boss, he was loyal to him and would clearly do anything for him. You could feel how these two partners were on a journey together, a journey for revenge. Revenge for all their lost comrades, MSF, the limbs they lost, the torture, the pain. They all went into hiding for 9 fucking years. They didn't let go. They came back and rebuilt outer heaven, then, suddenly, the man who betrayed the world. It wasn't them anymore. Kaz got played like a fiddle again, he was betrayed. All those scenes of them together, Kaz was just looking at a fake big boss. Their whole relationship went to shit. Ocelot and Kaz became enemies. Venom turned out to be some poor medic that got brainwashed into being someone else and got put on the frontline against solid snake. I mean the fucking ending of the game is Venom getting ready to fight Solid. It all goes south from there. They all die. No one lives, it all broke apart.

MGSV is a great game. Only a few missions after you find the "Weapons Expert" in Africa does it become boring and repetitive.
Being able to craft your own weapons was fun for a few missions, but by then it was obvious the game had ran out of steam. Nothing new would be introduced besides "harder" difficulty, that doesnt scale at all with the tools you're given.

Only V-Ocelot is jarring, but ironically has the least character when in cannon playing the least sides.
It's a shame because outside of MGSV he is by far the most enjoyable character in every game he appeared in.

Liquid Ocelot is pretty weird. In MGS2 he acts more or less just like Liquid, but in MGS4 he doesn't really act like Liquid at all, which makes you wonder how it was effective as a ruse, hypnotherapy or no. I always figured in MGS2 he really was possessed and adopted the persona later for his plan, but that doesn't really make Liquid Ocelot in MGS4 less weird.

Ultimately Ocelot was more interesting/fun when he was just an agent of the Patriots and not Big Boss's Number 1 Fan. I don't mind the idea of Ocelot turning against the Patriots, but I wish he had more original motivations than "I dunno Outer Heaven is cool I guess and I love Big Boss."
