You gotta play it like a semi open world sandbox game. Just throw on some grassy camo and you won't have to change for hours.

I find this reply interesting because it reveals that the excessive menuing in the game bothers you, however, when I said that the stealth based camouflage was bad, I didn't mean anything about menuing, crawling from grass patch to grass patch while the enemy is looking away is simply not fun, and the only reason I had any fun playing the game is that I started killing enemies instead of trying to avoid them. Also, the camouflage is far from the worst part of menuing in the game, first there's the medicine menu, which adds nothing, but doesn't really detract from the game if you know that wounds heal over time (and it's optimal to ignore the menu most of the time because it increases max hp). The camouflage is next in place, where it's a little bit annoying to change your camouflage every now and then. The food system is more annoying than that because you need to use it more frequently, but the inventory management is by far the worst and I hated having to sort through my bag whenever I needed to change my equipment.

I've been watching a bit of the Death Stranding streams here and there, is the hate from Synth for it warranted? Or is he just being a depressing fuck? Criticism against the walking stuff aside.

Keep in mind that this is a very very specific type of grind though.

Just like Ricardo there are games where I get a great deal of satisfaction 100%ing them or hitting the stat caps, RPGs for example.

But I don't like Death Stranding. Just like Synth loves scouring 3D platformer levels for all the collectibles but doesn't like Death Stranding.

DS is one of those games that you'll only enjoy of you're a member of the tiny demographic who's particular type of autism aligns perfectly with the gameplay loop.

That's what I thought too. Was surprised to see Synth hate and skip the cutscenes/story bits, they seem like your usual Kojima.

I can totally understand not even wanting to bother with the shitty story in videogames anymore.

I'd argue that being able to choose your desired approach is fantastic game design. MGS 3 gives you a problem and a surprisingly large amounts of tools to solve them (most times). You can sneak, you can snipe, you can go in guns blazing, you can go less lethal. There's features that feel almost like emergent gameplay: you can attack food stores and starve the soldiers for example. I wish MGS V carried over some of these features for their outposts. As for the menus they're a product of their time. However I argue that MGS V suffers more for the subtraction of features than MGS 3 does for their additions. If the trade off for having the ability to attack outposts indirectly is to be forced to eat every hour or so in game I wouldn't mind.

I personally never minded, but I've heard some people play MGS3 and constantly try to switch to the "correct" camo which is retarded. But also, crawling is only one of the tools in your arsenal. Unless you're playing on the highest difficulty where enemies have amazing vision, running around in the open and finding cover works extremely well. You should be running from tree to tree way more, usually only crawling if guards are close.

Yeah, this post nails it. MGS3 is emergent sandbox stealth and in many ways surpasses MGSV's sandbox elements. Places like Bolshaya Past Base, Rassvet, the mountain path, and Groznyj Grad are sandboxes that you can approach in any way. It's also meant to be a more atmospheric and slow game, which is why you have some levels where you're just crawling through an empty swamp or running through caves.

Kojima just has to give up and start making his shit a24 arthouse movies instead.
2025 is a shit year for gaming and GTA 6 is not a saving grace when GTA 5 sucked hot ass, but enjoy MUH shit mission designs.

(the last good thing by rockstar was Max Payne 3) while I didn't hate RDR2, I wish the gameplay was fun, wish the mission design was fun.

I hate this publisher with all my heart, pretentious fart smelling artsy fags. Film gets skipped the moment I see their logo.

I agree, Max Payne 3 is a perfect game; I can always come back to it, replay it from start to finish, and it'll still be fun as hell.

RDR2 although technologically impressive, lacked that Rockstar feel and edge that it used to have. Same goes for GTA5.

@ace7 A better way to share a link is through the media tab; That way you get to have it embedded in the site.

Funny how this thread died down when Coby got his own thread. Almost as if a bunch of people finally realized that this isn't their own personal circlejerk and that the farms aren't their friend, that or they actually realized Coby is indeed a lolcow thanks to the simpgate fiasco.

Neither is the lolcow thread dumbass, there was already a prediction that the lolcow thread won't be much and it will be just few ex Synth fans gripping all day long.

A woman from a pedophile 4chan clone has to literally scour through the guys stream, taking brain damage to find the embarrassing shit which has been like the same takes he has in every stream.

It's funny that you guys have to stoop down to moral fag about how dares he talks about his degeneracy with his dad on his own podcast! Like there is not a whole genre of normieslop about people joking with parents about sexual shit.
