A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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 ๐.
I dropped off on Metal Gear after Guns of the Patriots. The convoluted story really had me confused. I'm not even sure I remember the gameplay. I had a TON of fun with Snake Eater and MGS though. I love stealth games, so maybe I'll give it a try.
Yeah I feel you on the story front. I was more of a fan of splinter cell myself but the metal gear games are more polished and better designed with the adaptive enemies and such.
