Still reeling from accusing CDPR of being teenage and using a Kojima game as a counter example, honestly.

Yeah that’s definitely creepy, I never said the story in metal gear was good, its not but it’s a systems driven open world game.

The witcher is a good story driven game with a bad open world, the combat isn’t dynamic, the skill trees amount to “do you want light or heavy attacks to do 50% more damage?” All the puzzles and exploration are follow the red mist and then use the indicated magic sign.

Zelda and MGS aren’t like this at all. In Zelda the element of exploring the world and solving puzzles is dynamic, there are hundreds of bespoke puzzle dungeons and hundreds more out in the world that rely on interaction and discovery.

MGS is a stealth sandbox with tonnes of different ways to approach each encounter and ai that albeit rudimentarily adapts to your decisions throughout by changing the loadout and movements of enemies.

You can easily say the stories are not good, thin and generic in Zelda, creepy and pretentious in metal gear but that’s not their strengths.

Bit rude to say I’m being a knobhead for discussing games in here.

Clearly not a counter example as the story has nothing to do with what makes metal gear 5 good, I already said witcher 3 was a great game but with a bad open world, that’s the distinction I described.

Thanks again for the recommendations folks, gonna do some research and make a decision.

Think I’ll get Forza 4 as well; I’m kind of struggling with MH/concentration/motivation issues at the moment so the idea of having something that’s pretty much pick-up-and-play/easy to dip in and out of is appealing too.

I will give gta this, the mtiplayer heists lived up to the jank ass games promises but literally everything else about it was literally tripe

So fuckimg awful, its amazing how many game design choices people overlooked, basically like those that think aresnal fc have a semi competent football squad whilst the whole things craps a piling heap of ferterliser on its burning shit corpse during a fucking candle sale for incompetent wankers

getting the feeling ducky didn’t really like gta.

Like the singlr nomad storyline with one of the main characters alone was st least 5000000000x better than everything gta 5 had to offer FUCK

And that was even with cars flying into my fucking face the whole time. The whole idea that people treat gta5 as a masterpiece irks me because its so pathetically awful, trite, shallow and surface level worship of a bunch of s cunts marketing department fucking terrible game. Trite trite trite blindly worshiped by people who don’t know better

Riding the push bikes down the mountain was fun. Did you do that?

If it has anything to do with gta 5 it probably sucked but remember enjoying suiciding down the hills as it broke away from the juvenile writing

Terrible writing but the driving and the bike riding was good. They got the momentum right there. That’s my fondest memories of that game.

Holy shit i forgot how bad gta 5 was

And I dont even like cyberpunk

Fuck cyberpunk

ambient soundtrack in GTA5 was great too, all the slowly building throbbing Tangerine Dream stuff

Ambient soundtrack was great
