Daweii Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 @Davkaus Metal Gear Solid V is very front loaded with cutscenes, but it actually has the least amount of cutscenes in the franchise by quite some margin. Once you get out into the "open world" and start doing quests/side quests the game barely has cutscenes. Well I say "barely", it's more that MGSV has more gameplay than any game in the series. Looking online there is apparently 5 hours of cutcenes in MGSV which surprised me, I thought it was far less, but the game also has 50-80 hours of gameplay so those cutscenes are pretty few and far between.

I'ce been trying to get as many moons as possible so it's taking me ages. Might speed things up and just get through the game and then come back later and sweep extra moons up if I can be bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are practically impossible to find as you could be walking on the floor and the floor vibrates and its a moon. If say aim to get a majority of them and then clock it as once you clock it you won't go back. I gave up after getting just over 700 moons. The remaining moons were even impossible to get or I just couldn't find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V01 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Started Dragon Quest XI earlier, it's definitely a change of pace from Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even that is already a ballache to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to stick with it due to the incredible reviews, but the first couple of hours are incredibly dull. I can't think of any game I've enjoyed with a worse start. It's been about 1:30 of cutscenes and 30 minutes of tutorial, most of it at walking/crawling pace. It'd better pick up pretty damn quickly. Stick with it would be my very strong advice. I nearly gave up, as the intro in the hospital is utterly, utterly shit. But once you get past that, the game itself is brilliant. So much variety, it's in my top 3 along with RDR2 and Witcher 3.

villa4europe Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 the genius of MGSV is how it adapts itself to how you play, i dont want to spoil it for you but I've never played any game like it, it learns your tactics and tweaks itself accordingly, it has the usual over the top nonsense of a MGS game but like others have said its actually pretty toned down compared to some of the games, theres a lot of freedom to it and when you start opening it up with different guns and kit theres a crazy number of ways to skin a cat on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2019 Still playing AC Odyssey - clocked over a hundred hours and I'm just going for the last trophy to get the Plat.

Is AC Odyssey better than the Egyptian one, as that bored me rigid after a while. Edited January 6, 2019 by Risso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a awesome level Really enjoying it. Just done most of Metro Kingdom. Did it in one sitting of a couple of hours. Definitely the best kingdom so far, by quite a distance. So far I've been able to get all of the purple coins and get all of the moons in every kingdom (well, all of the moons that you get a hint from toad and the parrot for. once they run out of hints I give up even though I know there are still a few around). The exception is Forest Kingdom. Didn't really enjoy that one so will circle back and do that after I complete the story. Although the jump rope moon in metro kingdom will probably be left. 56 is as much as I can get, and the moon is for 100! Got about 250 moons so far I think.

That skip rope one is ridiculous moat I did was 88 and I went bloody mad when I lost! There is also a similar one with volleyball its even harder. Some of the moons are ridiculously hard. When you get to that stage thats when you put odyssey down and move to next game. It reminds me of mario 64 just a hell of a lot bigger. It's a quality game but far too many moons for you to stay interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of mario 64 just a hell of a lot bigger. It's a quality game but far too many moons for you to stay interested. Yeah 64 was relatively easy to complete and get all the stars. Think it was 80 stars to finish the story and only 120 stars total in the game. It does seem a bit overkill on Odyssey. I know it gives the game longevity but when you're just going round the same, pretty small, kingdom over and over again it's kind of a false longevity. I struggle with games not to be a completist though. It's one of the reasons that a) it takes me so long to play games, and b) I put so many games down before I finish them. Same thing happened with Witcher 3. Fantastic game but because I tried to do every single side quest along the way I eventually put it down before I'd finished the story and never went back.

It was my 2018 GOTY however, if you didn't like Origins then I'd steer clear. It's basically a more polished version of that. I absolutely adore it tbh but it just ticked all the right boxes for me.
