![]() ![]() It's unfortunate this comes at a time where Kojima and Konami are having a huge fallout, but hopefully this swan song from Kojima will live up to the hype and close out his tenure with Konami in a grand way. Gamers will be able to experience all of Metal Gear Solid V's complexities when the title launches on September 1st for home consoles and PC. There's about as much in the way of complex graphics technology at play thanks to the Fox Engine as there is complex game mechanics. Reprise the role of Snake in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - experience with tactical freedom to carry out open-world missions in 1980s Afghanistan. That's not to mention that the series now has operable vehicles, new day and night shifts, enhanced CQC, multiple side-missions and options for completing those side-missions, as well as optional AI companions. ![]() In the case of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, it's a fairly large game – it's 200 times the size of Ground Zeroes – so there will be a lot riding on the performance and optimization of the game. For those who don't remember there was a lot of fireworks over GameWorks causing problems with AMD cards running Project CARS and The Witcher 3. Although if Metal Gear Online had been left behind we really wouldn’t have cared at all.Given that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes appeared to launch without any major issues on PC following a solid console release, I would assume that the developers already have a working standard on the GPU issues and won't get muddied in the AMD/Nvidia wars like Slightly Mad Studios and CD Projekt Red. We just feel thankful that Metal Gear Solid V managed to get out as well as it did before the shutters came down. It’s also likely that Konami will manage to fix the technical problems in time, and perhaps even go deeper into the game’s more intrinsic problems.īut predicting anything about what Konami may or may not do is probably a bad idea at the moment, and to be honest we severely doubt Metal Gear Online can be saved. You can, and we imagine many people will, completely ignore it if you want to and nothing will be lost. We’re not going to give Metal Gear Online a separate score because we don’t want to take anything away from the excellent parent game. The game also does nothing about the fact that sitting outside an enemy base and sniping opponents as they respawn is by far the most sensible and successful tactic in the game. The Infiltrator class is far too overpowered, and so too are the robotic walkers. If you play only with friends and everyone tries to ‘play properly’ then you can begin to see the game’s promise, but no game should be relying on gentleman’s rules so completely.Īnd in any case there’s also some serious balancing issues, with just about every element of the game. Especially outside of Cloak and Dagger, the game does nothing to encourage playing it as anything other than a standard third person shooter and adamantly refuses to explain any of the intricacies of what’s going on. The attacking team has invisibility cloaks but only non-leathal weapons, the asymmetry of which means the two teams have to plan and act very differently to each other.Įven ignoring the technical problems, the whole concept behind Metal Gear Online seems fundamentally flawed. Or at least that’s what’s suppose to happen, in practice hardly anyone we played with was doing anything other than shooting each other and taking advantage of anyone trying to play properly.Ĭloak and Dagger is probably the most successful mode in that there’s a proper incentive to play stealthily, as you either try to steal two packages from the other team – or play on the other side and try to prevent it. Bounty Hunter has you extracting enemies using a Fulton balloon, as you do in the single-player – with the more kills the enemy has dictating how much they’re worth to you to extract. ![]() The game has three play modes, with Comm Control being a very straightforward team option, where you fight over control points like a regular shooter. Although bizarrely you cannot change this afterwards, and have to create a whole new character if you decide you’ve chosen poorly. To get started you must then choose a character class, from the relatively self-explanatory Scout, Infiltrator, and Enforcer. Assuming you can manage to start a game you find your character has been given the face you gave yourself at the beginning of The Phantom Pain.
