After actually playing this game, I don't know how to feel about this game. It's extremely glitchy, and more importantly there's no trademark rolling tackle! Overall this game, while looks good, and I do enjoy Kiefer's voice because he has that old man experience sound to it, I'm overall disappointed in this game.
Hopefully this isn't what I can expect to see in the Phantom Pain.
To me, Metal Gear games had several elements in common, nonlinear gameplay with minor side events that can change the flow of the game, with spectacular game mechanics with even more spectacular story telling. The story telling is still here,( that or I'm just excited to actually see more MGS animation in action) but the flow of the game is changed too much. Like the radio, they made it on the go, where's the personal relationships you develop by calling that person? Calling Sigant, Paramedic always had some interesting results, even Mei-ling. Now it's strictly analytical.
I'll admit somethings, I've been spoiled by the radar/solid eye and camo index. Those two aspects absent from the game immediately made this difficult to play. However while it has a few Metal Gear aspects, it feels like it's adopting too many aspects at once and it's changing how metal gear feels. I don't want to sound like
that guy, but a fucking
health spray? What happened to stepping on a claymore and getting hit by 50 caliber machine guns and healing up by eating a disgusting ration MRE? What happened to the actual health system, because this sugar coated screen bullshit just means I'll almost never die given most circumstances.
Let's not forget alert phase. I'm not one to despise change or even realism, but I do not hate evolving traditional game elements. Also, the weapons menu is just really not MGS-esque. Hopefully they bring back a lot of the elements they took away.
Yeah, the whole bloody screen when you take a hit thing annoys me. In addition to the health spray your health also regenerates too, hopefully Kojima fixes this in Phantom Pain, if I wanted to play a 3rd person shooter I'd play Gears of War, also the dive seems kinda useless.
And what glitches? I never ran across any, I'm playing the PS3 version.
