_"The three leads are all Grim, Growly Men Growling Grimly"_
*Brilliant*.
That's not entirely fair. The main antagonist is also a grim, growly man growling grimly.
You the huniepop guy?
Don't forget that hamburger that kaz designed thinking it would solve world hunger
That's a good band name
Isn't that an Alliteration?
I started playing this game, and it is hands-down one of the funniest games I've ever played.
Not because there were jokes to be had, but because through all of the weirdness and crazy outlandishness (and there is a LOT of weirdness and crazy outlandishness) the characters play it 100% completely straight, totally serious.
So they're like Michael Caine in _The Muppet Christmas Carol_ except not intentionally so?
@@sasukesarutobi3862 oh no it’s completely intentional. Metal Gear has always been extremely campy
@@Stynkrat That's a very good point
I think the game's prologue played it's best cards too early. I mean when your game opens with a giant whale devouring a helicopter and a man chasing you on a flaming winged unicorn, going straight into gritty growly grimdark REVENGE immediately afterwards. It kind of causes me to lose some interest. Still, besides that, pretty damn good game
+L Pendergast This game has the best first impression sequence I had ever seen in a game. I don't think any other game can beat the 'flop around the hospital floor while being chased by a man who is on fire led by a psychic toddler who may or may not be a ghost' opening sequence.
Unfortunately they do not put that crazy shite in ALL THE MISSIONS.
king tut Evil Within doesn't have 'riding shotgun on a horse while being chased by a fire unicorn ridden by giant man on fire who shoots burning buckshot from his palms' right after 'Watching a helicopter eaten by a giant whale that is on fire'.
+king tut That game was trash.
Or rather devolved into trash super fast.
Idk why they put psycho mantis in the beginning anyway. And they should've made him a boss later in the game.
+Jack Danger The game was apparently butchered by Konami after Kojima left, so.....
I've noticed that anime translated into English also tends to have a disproportionate amount of people explaining something, and then going "in other words" and explain it again. I'm guessing that's something common in Japanese vernacular that doesn't translate well.
Hmm, that might explain the overal preference to subs over dubs some more.
Yep. The Japanese language / mindset can be inconsistent in that way. For example, someone _could_ say 「彼の名は蔵之助だ」と言った。But they'll most likely say something like, 「あ、その男の名前は、石川蔵之助です。彼はこの銀行の会長です」と言いました。The first sentence (roughly) would translate to "His name's Kuranosuke (it is)" he/she said. The latter would (also roughly) translate to "Oh, that man's name is Ishikawa Kuranosuke (it is). He's the company leader for this bank" he/she said (in a polite manner). Over-explaination is something that's mostly done partially to be polite, and partially in order to make sure that the listener has *all* of the information they could possibly ever need. It gets really fucking annoying when you're trying to learn the language, even though it comes from a good place.
I realize that in trying to explain why it seems over-explaination is rampant in Japanese, I've gone and over-explained my observation. Fuck, there's no escaping it.
It's a mixture of both, really.
Thank god someone else said it, I thought I was going crazy with how much I hated most anime dialogue but couldn’t put my finger on why
Crowley9 Well, it's something that's done in manga to explain bland fight scenes. A lot of anime is made to sell manga and often does this without transalting well. So no, it's bad writing.
By the way, "hayai" means "fast," but it's a lot more natural to say under one's breath than "he's fast." This goes for all adjectives. and verbs.
I come from the future to tell you Metal Gear is turning into a coop zombie survival game.
+McDeathmask I have come from slightly further in the future to tell you that Raiden is now 95% Pachinko machine, which was surprisingly useful in his dance off against Hatsune Miku.
lnsflare1
...but can he defeat PaRappa the Rapper?
wolfpax181 No one can beat PaRappa the Rapper, you can only team up with a reformed Miku and Twitter Sonic to distract him enough that he falls into Dracula's gratuitously exposed cleavage.
Spoiler Alert: Dracula isn't a girl, he just really let himself go in the future.
lnsflare1
...moobs. I am thwarted!
wolfpax181, Yay!?
In case anyone is wondering how Kojima got the Fulton Recovery System wrong:
Instead of violently lifting a person/object into the air by itself, the balloon simply serves to hold up a line, kinda like the cord on a normal party balloon, which has a hook right beneath it which then snags onto a specially-equipped plane. That, in turn, then lifts a person/object violently into the air, from where they/it are/is pulled into the plane itself by the crew with a hook on a powered winch.
wasn't it somewhat more realistic in Peace Walker, no?
My favorite part of this game was spending 2 hours arranging kamikaze bears near a group of tanks and then setting off a bait bottle while disguised as a anime singer, and then sending my robot buddy in to kidnap the survivors with a balloon cannon.
I can't tell if any of this is real in game but it sounds legit and that's all I want
Peace Walker 2: Electric Boogaloo
+Radec Don't have a cow, for all your dreams.
+Radec I wish we got the final act of the story like in Peace Walker, but hey the game is pretty good at least.
Just got this game on sale. Other than the non-skippable cutscenes, it has certainly proved worth the $5.99 I paid.
what are you talking about, the cutscenes are perfectly skippable
@@sipragupta5534 - Yeah…I eventually discovered that.
I just got it for 3.99€ 💀

"I could barely tell the fuckers apart." Always has a great quote in his reviews. Keep up the good work.
3:22 This game has about two dozen handguns available to use on missions but only one of them is the tranquilizer gun.
All of this is nice, just saw this, and mad max on the escapist ...
But seriously though... Where's until dawn ? It's the kind of game that either, yathzee would love or hate, no in between.
There is so much to talk about ! All the clichés, the "interactive" gameplay, the story, the dialogues, the characters, ...
C'mon yathzee, we need a review of until dawn, for science purposes !
I swear, he can't handle all the hot on-top-of-our-dead-friend's-skeletons-sex.
I'm with you only because I want to watch him tear it into tiny unrecognizable shreds. x)
+Usoland, Descendant of Noland and Destroyer of Sugar Send that message DIRECTLY to Yahtzee, so he knows that Until Dawn is that freakin' amazing and can't wait a whole week and he puts out a review within 24 hours as a sort of bonus review. And rips the story, characters, and gameplay to shreds.
And There are bloody many QTEs.
+Mcs Woo (ZIGGSA) Those can be somewhat excused as they actually mean something and can greatly effect the way the game goes on. Too slow on a QTE can lead do a character's death, which, in this game, is a really big deal.
I love this game. this game is awesome. I had lots of fun with this game. I love this video. This video is awesome. I had lots of fun with this video. And this video hits every nail on every respective head. Have a great day.
+Patrick Storey so what happened to the kids?
+Patrick Storey What he said.
+Patrick Storey Wait?! one can like a game and still stand it being objectively criticized? I simply can't believe that! All my time on the internet point to the contrary.
+Patrick Storey OH MY GOD! HE'S NOT HUMAN!
Autism Speaks
When Yahtzee starts talking about the game, I thought he was joking but it's actually true
Oh my god that rip on Konami was glorious.
+SuperZez I keep rewatching the video just for that bit
I've been loving the crap out of this game for the last 60 hours of gameplay, but regardless, every single point made here was fair.
Good gameplay, dumb story.
So..basically like every other MGS game in the series, right? You get what you paid for, at least.
+Ristar85 lmao you obviously havent played the game
+Ristar85 How many hours have you played? I'm curious.
+Ristar85 The gameplay is great. The story is shit. And this is coming from someone who's only ever played Metal Gear Solid 4 before picking up TPP.
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen what they tried to was the opposite of mgs 4 was because many people complained about the huge cutscenes. Apparently Konami doesn't know the word moderation so they took a completely backseat approach to the story in this one. I've played every metal gear and the gameplay is the best so far and can get very challenging since the game assimilates to your play style and how good you are, but the story is extremely lacking for the franchise. Plus the ending was totally rushed and some storylines, specifically the Eli and Quiet ones, seemed totally incomplete in my opinion. I give it a 8/10 just because it is so damn fun and time consuming, but the virtually emaciated story is a huuuuuuuuge con. There is actually speculation that an entire chapter and even area were in the works, but konami wanted Kojima gone so bad that they crapped on the project. The original idea was for it to be a game so fucking amazing you crapped your pants, but sadly it was not...
at all tbh...
Ristar85 the hell do you know?
this was the soviet army in the 1980s. plus its a video game.
VIIIDEEEOOOO GAAAMEEE
sure it was like that the first hour, but i was taking out outposts left and right, and now i get minimum of 7 people anywhere at once, i still get like 3 in those random groups in the middle of the map. and important places guarded by 10 people?! At no point did i see that, OKB zero for example has around 40 soldiers there all the time, that's if you dont raise an alarm btw. That doesn't even count on the helicopters that start to show up, the d walkers, mines in all the places you can sneak in, cameras, etc..
The fact that you're saying a game that adjusts the difficulty to how good you are is easy, that's absolutely laughable, cause obviously you either suck ass or haven't played anywhere near 10 hours.
The funny thing is, Hideo actually knows how the Fulton Recovery system works. It gets talked about in Peace Walker
And in MGS3.
For everyone new to the channel; this means he enjoyed the game.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Such a lust for revenge
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously? A mildly positive review of MGSV and only one quick mention of the dog? I am disappointed, Yahtzee D:
Uploaded 5 minutes ago?!?!
I never come this early
+Daniel Plainview I know right? Now, where's my milkshake?
+Daniel Plainview THAT'S WHAT SHE...
Sorry. sorry.
+Daniel Plainview We believe you. This was a one-time thing. It's okay, it happens.
+Daniel Plainview PHRASING.
+Daniel Plainview I did... ;)
That must be the most positive review Yahtzee made, ever since Portal :O
MGS was and still is one onf the greatest experiences ive had in gaming, and i fully accept i may just be old and jaded but MGS5 was just dire for me, the empty repetitive world made me question why it was even an open world game to begin with nvm how detrimental it was to what i at least view as an MGS game
legit it was great before it turned into a "select your mission from a list of largely rinse and repeat missions" experience, first MGS ive never even finished nvm played to death.
It's because Peacewalker was originally intended to be the fifth MGS game. Instead, they took most of the elements from it, for V. This includes the clunky 'mission' system, which belonged back on the PSP game, and not in a next game system game.
Kojima has probably most likely been wanting to leave after he announced MGS4 is supposed to be the last MGS. They also kicked Kojima out because the costs for Phantom Pain were much higher than what they expected and allowed him.
+Sammy102093 Every Metal Gear Solid game since the first was "supposed" to be his last. He's said that like a billion times. x)
True but remember, it made Konami a lot of money and he most likely wanted to do other projects as well but Konami wouldn't let him.
+Sammy102093
$80 million and the game is still unfinished. What the hell did Kojima spend all the money at?
Afham Zaki Production costs like that are gonna be high, plus he kept delaying the game so that means that money also covered wages.
*****
Still, Konami gave him 5 years of development. I think it's a case of Kojima reaching way too high and Konami being Konami.
This game should be title "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom fucking pain in the ass". I got 30 hours in before I said "fuck it!" and decided to chuck the goddamned thing out the nearest window for how uninspired, repetitive, and dull it ended up being. For every "holy shit this is amazing!" moment, there were dozens of "whyyyyyyyyyyyyy???" moments.
+Butterworthy What's that? CRITICISM?! The fanboys are moving in!
SuperLordGaming Dear god...I criticized the way the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter was being handled, it's my most disliked video ever, and one bastard got so angry and offended that he left over 100 comments in an hour, and I had to ban and report him for harassment.
+Butterworthy Wow, really? Fanboys are the worst.
Von Steiner Totally agreed. I get accused of being a Nintendo fanboy. I have a preference for them, but still criticize and critique them when necessary. I have seen real Nintendo fanboys, and they can be straight up delusional.
+Butterworthy WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL DESCRIPTION YOU IDIOT!
You are so right, I get that there are many different items/weapons to tackle enemies, but they do not require different strategies and do not affect gameplay much at all.
Just like any shooter there are a ton of weapons, but everytime all you have to do is isolate enemy and point and shoot. Though I will admit that some of the items add some variation to it such as the non lethal grenades.
Don't be mean to me, I breathe through my skin.
0:37 THE BACKGROUND CHANGED AGAIN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
This review was pretty damn on point. You covered every complaint I had. Even though I really enjoyed the game, the waiting for the helicopter to go anywhere was a huge pain in the ass.
You don't have to go back to the helicopter to enter another mission, you just need to mark the main ops or side ops location on the map and go there (as long as its in the same map, Afhganistan or Central Afrika). And since there are a lot of missions and side missions, I tend to go from one to the next that is closest in the map, and so forth. It's actually quite nice.
***** Retrieve something, or rescue a prisoner? Sure, just like it was in every Metal Gear game ever. What changes is the location and situation. Lots of variables.
It isn't lazy game design. This game offers complete freedom in the way you tackle missions and as a result every mission can feel different.
***** It looks like you didn't play the same game as I did, or just don't like stealth games.
This is the most deep in the series, or better yet, the best stealth game of all, in terms of gameplay. There as HUNDREADS of ways to complete the same mission. And if you think its easy, cut the hand holding: put on hard, disable markings and reflex mode and it becomes another game entirely...
+kabeltelevizio no, not at all
+kabeltelevizio no, not at all
Oh, my God! This was too funny! I had to rewind a couple of times to see what I missed because of my laughing!
1:30 “I’m starting to think this sounds weird” … the Understatement of the Century, ladies and gentlemen !
A Hideo Kojima game... that's probably his most refined, gameplay-wise, yet. A Metal Gear with smooth controls. Huh.
You will have to make hard choices, like: Does the guard have a special ability -Do I kill the guard with my weapon - Do I tranq the guard - Do I try a Full Nelson and get his information - Should I smoke a stogie until nightfall or wait for Darude sandstorm - Where are the guard's friends - Do I call an airstrike - How do I approach the guard quietly - There is a sheep - Do I tranq the sheep or the guard - Is the mission objective the sheep - everything gets a balloon. My gold Helicopter plays Ride of the Valkyries, my emblem is the Dairy Queen logo
And now Konami makes Metal Gear Survive.
I hope they fucking lose every single cent they have.
You can feel his pain about the cancelled Silent Hill.
a misbehaving clitoris.. that almost killed me
Im surpriesd that he hasn't mentioned how the stealth has gone out the widow due to the enemies now having eagle eyes and x ray vision, or how they all know your exact location as soon as your spotted and never drop their guard once they do so you're better off restarting from the last checkpoint once your caught.
MGS V: the fulton pain
I mean, that's literally what the guards do when you put them in a hold and tell them to "Spit it out". Their response? "Ugh, ugh, ghr, grr, grr, uh, uh". But of course the subtitles are nice enough to translate that garbled mess.
he's totally right about the not being able to tell them apart thing. when I was doing the mission where you bring back quiet kaz and revolver ocelot started arguing and it was at that point that I realized I wasn't really sure who I was communicating with for the whole game.
It's funny that the summary of Ground Zeroes' ending was pretty much what Yahtzee said (until you find out she actually DIDN'T explode like it looks like she did, she just fell into the ocean and died as the chopper was shot with an RPG.)
there's a credit scene after every mission because different teams work on different missions
if Konami let Kojima finish this shit. reviews would be diffrent
At the end that voice kinda sounded like when you interrogate the parasite possessed soldiers during the skulls fights.
the story in metal gear solid is like a Tom Clancy novel directed by David Lynch funneled through the consumerist and misogynist lens of Japanese popular culture in that yes the stark atonality and the endless dirge of exposition in the work is intentional as it creates a cognitive dissonance within the player leaving them confused and questioning the confines of reality. people really underestimate kojima as a storyteller precisely because they can't see what he's attempting to do. it plays just as much with brechtian alienation as it does with banal humor and action espionage movie tropes to create a unique narrative that isn't without its faults of course. but there's a method to kojimas madness. and that method lies within the legacy of post-modern and weird fiction as well as modernist movements like dada and surrealism. especially if you see kojima list his influences you start to see the context that arises from the seeming absurdities.
Kanashe his vocabulary ovewhelmed you?
Its true many of the main characters don't go through the character development we've seen in past titles. And sometimes Big Boss's, Kaz's, and Ocelot's voices sounded similar on the cassette tapes
pro tip, after a mission you can just choose "return to acc" in the pause menu for no cost, and no lengthy animation/wait. Actually calling in a helicopter is really just for dramatic exits, and when someone you want to take with you can't be fultoned.
+DTKloves8 damn it really?i have spent so much god damn GDP on calling in the heli!!!!!!
+stroheker1 yeah I felt pretty dumb discovering this half way through the game. If you're on a main mission you have to leave the hot zone first, but on side ops you can do it the second you finish the main objective.
damn. well thanks.i can help my friends out now.though iv already 100%ed the game so it wont help me. all that GDP...
Random Documents and Audio Logs;
We find them stuck to notice boards, we find them under dogs;
We're going to put them in a file and give it a review;
And we're bored of all the gameplay, but we've nothing else to do.
"The dialog is all grim, growly men, growling grimly."
I hear that you don't have to worry about the story, MGV allows you to finally play a game
Did anyone else look for the Close Ad [X] button when the line of Metal Gear games appeared at the bottom of the video at 1:09 when they first watched this?
50 quid says Yahtzee actually owns a realdoll.
Holy shit I think the reason Skull Face puts on a lone Ranger mask in this game is because child Psychomantis changes their appearance based on who is influencing them the most. if he weren't wearing the Lone Ranger mask there would be no easy to spot visual cue for observant players to spot.
You know, it's not like the event's of the game make a ton of sense (basically, all the weirdness is because of baby decoy octopus for... reasons), but once you learn the whole story it's at least a coherent narrative within it's own world. I happen to have a pretty high opinion of the MGS series now, because on re-evaluation a lot of the crazy plot is actually the result of purposefully deconstructing expected tropes. A lot of MGS was about deconstructing the "action hero" and action genre; and both MGS4 and MGS5 have a huge subtext that involves examining sexualization and sexual assault in games. It's not always well done, but I have to give the series credit for being self-aware, and for consistently trying to be subversive.
See, there's your problem right there: one of your claims is false (she speaks several times in both Navajo and English, compared to none for D-Dog) and the other is purely subjective. Why does she seem shallow to you? She's an assassin crippled by fire who was intentionally infected with a deadly disease (the English strain) and then took a vow of silence to prevent the disease from spreading. That's one of the plainest examinations of rape, post-traumatic stress and sexually transmitted diseases I've seen in any game.
Furthermore, you don't find it significant that you are dismissing a female character simply because she doesn't speak very often? And you don't think that comparing her to a dog might be a little bigoted itself? I know that reading more than the intentionally misleading surface of this character requires someone to have an understanding of rape and sexual assault (plus some damn empathy) that most people just don't have, but seriously, what about this lacks depth to you? Did you skip all the cutscenes or something?
Edit: Also, Quiet isn't the only female character, there is also Strangelove and the Skull Snipers, but all of the female characters in the game (except the distaff base soldiers, which aren't characters) have been violated in some profound and personal way (murdered, brainwashed, etc.).
Oh gosh, your superficial observations and refusal to look beneath the surface have completely defeated me. How could I be so foolish as to think that there could be more than a literal interpretation of the game?
I mean, I was really hoping for more than the "Netflix Reviews" version of this argument, but the truth is that you are exactly the type of person that this game was written to mock by taking everything at face value. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; that doesn't make it valid or correct, and you're plain wrong here.
Look, if I had to take time out of my day to explain every little thing to every little mind on the internet I'd have no time left for stuff I actually want to do. So yeah, I'm not arguing with you. That would be a waste of effort, and you can go be wrong in your own time and place.
In other words, it's time for you to move on. Unless you want to explain why you think that statement was a self-contradiction, that would probably be amusing enough to keep me interested.
Yeah, dude, you win by default. Never seen that card get played on the internet before. Here's your medal: it has an engraving on the back that says "Master Debater on RUclips." Wear it with pride.
ARGUING with you is a waste of time, but MOCKING you is very entertaining indeed. I can keep coming back for that as long as you want.
Rather, I don't think you understand what mocking means, but since you seem incapable or unwilling to read subtext I'm not surprised that you're confused. Quite a lot of mockery is done in such a way that the one being mocked is not entirely aware of it, or has difficulty comprehending it. On the other hand, I'm not exactly being subtle here.
What's your stake in all this, anyway? You already "won" the "argument" by default and got your medal, but you still won't shut up, so I have to guess that there's something else you're looking for... maybe you just want to have the last word.
I mean hell the Fulton recovery system was even used in one of the Sean Conory bond films back in the day lol 😝
In the options menu there's a "return to ACC", you automatically go to the helicopter if you press that. once you see that the game finished auto saving you can press it at any time without consequence
I wonder if they made a silent hill pachinko machine.
They did.

"In our struggle to survive the present we push the future farther away." In other words, "Ghggrghgrhrghrg"
I hate how so many games now will make you wait to connect to the internet, even if there's no multiplayer! Just Cause 3 is the worst, they want to take an extra 5 minutes or so to connect to the internet so I can look at leaderboards, and since my PS4 sucks at connecting to the internet, it tries its hardest to connect! It's like its combing every inch of the bandwidth spectrum to find a little Wi-Fi bar to grab onto and lead it to full connection. The opening Bloodborne menu makes me happy because it asks one simple question, "Do you want to play online, or offline?" and it doesn't bring it up again, I'M the one who chooses whether or not to go online! So many of these games would be better, twice as good, if they didn't force me to go online and waste my time when I just want to play a game!
Apparently you didn't read past the first ten words in MGSV's comments on the Fulton system. The enemies go into the sky so as to get them off screen and to get them high enough that enemy fire doesn't take down the plane, but they do mention using a plane just like the real system*. The issue in the game for gameplay reasons, which you probably didn't read, is that the Fulton recovery system takes more than an hour to pump up the balloon, as was mentioned in detail in Metal Gear Solid 3, which you didn't bother to listen to.
The story from what I've seen is great, though it seems based they never capitalize on their build-up, which is sad.
*: It's possible they use a chopper to recover the balloons, which isn't how it's done in reality. Technically possible, but more difficult.
All of this is so true about the game.
Except dialogue, the way they saved money there is by making Big Boss not talk unless asked something that is super obviously not rhetorical.
What I mean is, he's not sassy enough for me.
Noticing an A rank dude in the outpost is super true, you see him and you're like, "Ooooh, I think I should continue on with the mission, but on the other hand, he knows his way around ____ 8.4% better than that other guy in ____".
Also, Yahtzee's party bus analogy is entirely true, I'd murder everybody I come across if I couldn't fulton them out to make my gear better.
"The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system is a system"
i love the bit where you say we kinda lost interest about the same time we lost our FUCKING MINDS
This game left me in a state that I can only describe as "aggressively bored." After spending ninety minutes of watching boring af cutscenes and then crawling around--yes, literally CRAWLING--I finally got dumped into the first real mission. And I couldn't bring myself to give a trillionth of a fuck.
4:09 Now I'm imagining singing a version of the Doctor Who theme using the word "rigamarole" over and over.

Is Yahtzee too scared to play Until Dawn?
+Usoland, Descendant of Noland and Destroyer of Sugar Probably not seeing as it's not scary. And I think he doesn't usually complete the games but just play them for long enough to get what he needs for his videos so Until Dawn being a very story driven game he probably need to complete to whole thing which he might not have time for.

+tj12711 B-but brokowski, i didn't understand him
I hate how Big Boss doesn't say anything to Skull Face during their numerous encounters. Having the protagonist and antagonist banter back and forth is a staple for this series
So wait, if this game is alright, and not perfect, like all the reviews say
then does that mean that
GASP
the reviews were all BOUGHT OUT LIES?????!?!?!?!?1/1/1//1//11//11/11/
I think I know the reason.....NANOMACHINES SON!!
You have to fight your own wars.
Or something.
They played us like A DAMN FIDDLE
+Calvin Infinity I never read a review that said the game was perfect, you gotta source, bub?
+Calvin Infinity Well if you are referring to Yahtzee's review he is ALWAYS supposed to pick apart the games no matter how good it may or not be (refer to his Last of Us review). Yeah the game isn't perfect but the score I believe comes down to how 'fun' the game can be. Do lots of people find it fun? Yes. Do I find it fun? HELL yes. Does Yahtzee? Probably from what I gathered here but he's trying to make sure that these 'perfect game's aren't actually perfect on either technical or fun levels. That being said, he was much more positive about this game than most games so basically on mainstream reviewing terms this game IS good (
I like what he said at the end. It spoke volumes.
Wait a second so you actually turn all the enemies to your side by knocking them out then shooting them into the air on a balloon? Seriously?
Well yes, and you can also beat up your own soldiers to boost morale. :D
It also works on bears, Tanks and horses.
Am I the only one who remembers that in Metal Gear Solid, one of Psycho Mantis' interface screws is literally making the screen go black and flash "HIDEO" in big green letters?
Totally not the first time the man spraypainted his name all over the game. I mean, on one hand, yes, he did make the game. But on the other hand, I feel like it's pretty shitty for both his superiors (Konami) and his subordinates (everyone else who worked on it) for him to run around going *"I* made this game, *me*, this is *my* game!"
More like the Phantom Punctuation, Amirite?
One of your funniest reviews in ages... now where the movie full of QTE's Until Dawn, somehow I finished it with everyone alive before you've even reviewed it?!?
such a lust for criticism
He was actually surprisingly kind about it
i think his voice cracked at 1:15 he tried to say attempt
Summary of the comment section: MGS fans mad because someone didn't like their masterpiece arguing with Yahtzee fans who just enjoyed this video, with a few peppered here and there that enjoy both MGSV and Yahtzee's review.
I like how he left out the fact that you actually play as big boss's body double for the entire game
+RedRogueWulf To be fair you have to put in an absurd amount of hours to get that far and he has deadlines. Normally, I'd never complain about a game being too long, but when it starts forcing you to replay missions to advance the story, then it's bullshit.
good point, although it only took me about 12 hours to get to that point which in my opinion isn't all that absurd
Pip pip! Cheerio! I'm Yahtzee! I never have anything nice to say ever, because being a snarky British person makes it all classy, so I'll just bash everything and make tons of money off of being a douchebag, influencing people away from buying potentially good games, and pip pip, Bob's your uncle! XD
Oh. So he shouldn't talk that way?
+Nick Grey He's Australian
+Nick Grey rly bruh
+Nick Grey Hey, man, you want some fish and chips with that salt? Or would you prefer it dipped in vinegar too?
+Nick Grey One he never said don't buy this its a piece of shit and he did say he liked it he just pointed out what's wrong with it. Or maybe the British just get the British because we aren't all fat morons.
I didn't know the Fulton Recovery System was a real thing until today.
you never watched james bond movies
ps loved Dr. Mangele's torture hospital, there lobby was nice and quiet. A lot of good radio too.
nice intro about silent hills
I have NEVER made it through the intro without buffering.
hey everyone who isnt aware; you can watch next weeks video by going to the escapist website

Go into free-roaming. Pick your map at random.
Carry your mostly non-lethal and cheapest equipment.
Take DD. From the music selection, choose "Take On Me".
Go fulton animals. Something else will eventually hapen.
Phantom Pain in a nutshell.
Also: one of the best games ever made.
RIP David Hayter
You actually can just leave the mission area any ol way, and then you can just select the next mission. The only time you HAVE to go on the helicopter to select the next mission is when you need to leave the entire sandbox map.
Also you can hit them one if you equip the bionic arm and run at an enemy, you'll close line them, it'll make the million dollar man sound, and they'll be knocked out. If you don't you'll judo throw them.
Other than that pretty on point.
"Hammering down the button like a misbehaving clitoris"
I lold so hard
10 words into the wikipedia article before getting excited... BALLOONS!!!! I fucking lost it. LMAO :D
Who is the genius that makes these?!?!?! These are the best game reviews on youtube!
Sometimes I can't tell if he likes the game or not XD
your not alone
Look, I like the core gameplay, it's all the in-between flappery that wore me down"
Oh, and bad writing/dialogue, but organic sandbox action stealth and base management systems
T'Chara Yea admitantly they reused material after chapter 1 but I still loved the fuck outa the game
For some reason I keep hearing "miiiiinds" at 0:35 over and over again in my head.
I wanna say something, when you play other games in the series that Yahtzee didn't play, you might notice he's just not looking at the full picture.
Like with the Fulton systen, he says that the way MGSV uses it is not the way the real one works.
And if you played Peace Walker you'd say "well duh, they're using a chopper variant man".
