Currently playing Metal Gear 5 on deck. I started it a few years ago on the PS3 but it died. I picked it up again in a steam sale a while back.
I prefer the newer style of gameplay from 4 & 5 to the earlier ones with the overhead camera.
The game itself is really polished and makes it feel like a movie at times. My only gripe with the series (which it might be a hot take) is the weird supernatural enemies. I think it would be so much more interesting if it was just normal humans.
You really need to plan your attack and scout locations, enemy patrol routes cover each other well and in close quarters you will get caught if you have not done enough recon.
So I recommend it to anyone looking for a good stealth game. Wait until a sale and you can get it cheap.
I just need to get a silenced sniper now 😄.
Yea I love the adaptive enemy AI, the way they put on vests and helmets and NVG.
I remember being a kid watching a friend play MGS2 and being amazed when the enemies would sweep the area in formation . Then seeing the footage that they had input from real life soldiers to get it right. The games are labors of love for sure.
