I know if we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place, so I suppose I drop into the category of not liking Metal Gear Solid. Still, it did nothing for me after the hospital. It’s one of those games I tried hard to like because in the back of my gaming mind I felt like maybe I was wrong and I was missing out on something. I gave it a decent go after that but just felt completely frustrated and bored with what I was expected to do. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two hours in the hospital (sorry, spoiler alert) but after that I couldn’t care less for the game. FORZA 6 VS GRAN TURISMO 7 SERIESSo when I got an Xbox Series S and it was on sale, I’d heard all the great reviews so I jumped at it. I owned a Wii U at the time of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Thus, I often get bored doing menial tasks, when I would probably enjoy games more if I just concentrated on the main missions.Īm I the only one who didn’t enjoy Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain? I was enjoying it but I feel compelled to fill out the whole map, investigate every marker, complete every quest before I move on. Horizon Zero Dawn had a similarly annoying trait. Just another one of those weird things that my brain does that stops me enjoying a game. No matter how good the combat mechanics are – I can’t actually remember in the case of Metal Gear Solid 5 – I instinctively restart the level because a part of my brain goes, ‘You’ve been spotted, you’ve failed, start again’. Troops coming at me from every direction. But at some point I’d get spotted and it would completely kick off. I tried the first proper mission multiple times, creeping my way in meticulously, picking off bad guys. I did try it a few years ago, but for me it had a similar problem with lots of games that have a stealth mechanic: for some reason I cannot shake the feeling that if I haven’t stealthed my way to victory I’ve failed. There’s been a few messages into the Inbox recently about Metal Gear Solid 5. I mean, did EA not know about Cyberpunk 2077 when deciding to put out Battlefield 2042? What did they think was going to happen. You rule out things happening because surely companies have learnt from prior mistakes and then it happens again and again. I really do wonder about the games industry sometimes. Or… a bland bit of stock image that Capcom for some reason decided to rip-off, even though it’s from a public library and they’ve already been caught doing this sort of thing before. I mean, I have no idea what the game’ll be like, obviously, but that logo looks like some first year art designer student’s homework he knocked up at the last minute. I don’t know what is going on with that Street Fighter 6 logo but I can tell you it’s absolute garbage. Although I can’t imagine that will last if Sony’s does become a big hit. It won’t be money in the short term so I guess prestige? They want to be seen as high tech and to have one over on Microsoft whatever happens, because they don’t even have a VR headset. I’d pay it but I really don’t think that’s a mainstream proposition for most people, so while I’m glad Sony is making the effort I’m a little confused as to what they think they’re getting out of it. I would assume at least £400 and that would be with Sony taking a pretty deep bath on the cost. Put me in the club that thinks the PlayStation 5 console is fugly but clearly Sony can design a nice bit of hardware when they try.Īs you said, the next question is the price and the release date but I think it’s pretty obvious that this thing is going to be super expensive. That PlayStation VR2 headset is looking pretty smart, I really like the design of the controllers too. I hope they keep spring like this in the future because it makes a lot more sense than having just everything coming out at Christmas. We’ll see though, and I definitely like how many big name games are coming out all at the same time at the moment. Will it be a better game? Quite possibly but it doesn’t feel like it’ll be as popular, especially as I don’t think it was ever as big in the US as it is here and Japan. I’m sure it’ll be good, but I don’t get the feeling that Gran Turismo 7 is going to be as ‘fun’ as Forza Horizon 5, which was a huge crowd pleaser.
