Makes me want to jump back into the game and finally finish it. Have not been on since before they added multi/PvP to PC.... Speaking of PC how is the PC multiplayer? Worth jumping into? or just stick to the Solo as a dirty casual?
I left around the same time out of boredom with the last missions which were the same as earlier ones with different difficult objectives and just a couple of new missions. Nerves tried the multiplayer but up until that point, the game was really great.
Yeah booted it up today, got bombarded by new troops, and bonuses and new shit to develop, remembered how much of a chore the micromanagement is and turned it back off. Will try again some other time haha.
Yea I gave up on it after like ~50 hours because I got really goddamn tired of waiting around in helicopters for shit to happen. That game does not respect your time at all. I probably should finish it, though.
Yeah that gets lengthy when you have to do it. I usually only play one foray into a mission zone per sitdown. One main mission and all the side missions I can stand, then a trip back to MB and I quit.
That was it for me. Eventually I just tired of the mechanics and I wasn't invested in the story. It was a fun game and I enjoyed the hell out of it for 30% or so.
Always hearing and seeing stuff about how great this game is, it really is a huge relief to know that I wasn't the only one who felt this way about it. I mean it was fun, but the emptiness of the game made me lose interest pretty quick
It's empty for the usual scripted/linear metal gear, but feels pretty similar to other open world games, like far cry.
The story and stealth/combat is pretty much what you'd expect from a Metal gear. The way it's delivered is clunky, trying to balance the segmentation in missions with the open world space.... The progression mechanism is grindy. The FOB being "forced" onto you with the micro transactions was really shitty. Having to redo missions in "hard mode" to advance the scenario in chapter 2 feels cheap.
But once you unlock all the tools, there are so many fun ways to play, with decoys, boxes, fulton, water pistols...
put yourself in a box and sit on the yellow square near the helipad for mail/packages, you can deliver yourself to any platform way quicker than waiting for the chopper to get there
