I was disappointed with MSG5 largely because the falling out between Kojima and Konami basically left the game incomplete. Which is a shame, because the gameplay is quite good, and the theme of language as a form of colonization and cultural genocide are interesting. Also Kojima's star-f*!%ing led to David Hader's departure as Snake, which was a dame shame. Kiefer Sutherland is a fine actor, but he is not Snake.

Konami as a game company sucks these days, far more interested in their gambling machines than quality games. But given Kojima's work since the split (Death Stranding, which combined both masochistic, boring gameplay and a nonsensical story), I can't blame Konami for being a bit tired of Kojima.
I love all of the MGS series. Partly this is my own bias but I cannot find fault in any of them.

Yeah I wish David Hayter voiced Big Boss in 5, but besides that, just truly epic. Even playing at higher difficulties isn’t unfair. It is just a challenge of skill. There is endless replayability in all of them.

Next I think i’ll replay MGS3 before MGS Delta releases soon. Hopefully that turns out good. Gameplay previews look awesome. They kept it exactly the same. As they should.

Riding the nostalgia train with the remasters of Soul Reaver 1 & 2.

Awesome games. Hopefully we get a Blood Omen 1 remake as that game is rough to return to.

I love watching people review these remakes that do not change anything and call the game ‘dated’. Like no shit man, but it’s still fun and enjoyable. Not everything needs to be freakin fortnite garbage.

Some video games I've put alot of hours on:

Red Alert: Tons of fun: I maxed out though with downloading scenarios. THey are a ton of fun though.

Prince of Persia: Alot of fun, but the browser version has no savegame function, and one mistake can make you restart the whole level.

Imperator Rome: It's alot of fun. But a single play through can take maybe a month. And to turn on Achievement mode, you aren't supposed to be able to reload older save games from before your last savegame. So if you make a mistake, you can't go back further than 1 savegame. It also has a lot of micromanagement, so I got overwhelmed by Achievement mode.

Men of War and MOW Assault Squad 2: I beat all the Single Player official missions, but multiplayer matches take awhile to set up with a friend (you need to get a friend to play this outdated game) and matches can last a while.

World of Tanks was very addictive, but it was also monotonous, with tons of "grinding" to get new tanks.

Battlefield 1 and 5 were great, but the single player missions do't have much replay value, and after a while the multiplayer modes start to get old.
