Review: Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes

博士tl;很短。非常甜蜜,但价值不值20美元。

Intro:
InMetal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, you control Big Boss (a.k.a. Snake) as he infiltrates a military base and rescues a couple of prisoners.Ground Zeroesis a prelude to幻影疼痛, the full game that is set to come out in 2015.

Gameplay: 4/10
Stealth games are rare, and rarely done well, butMGSgames have always been a blast.Ground Zeroeslives up to the tradition set by its predecessors and is an excellent stealth game with great gameplay. Sure, you can go full Rambo, but the game rewards stealth higher than violence, and sneaking is usually easier than facing a squad of alerted soldiers. You can kill with silenced weapons (and get a score deduction), put them to sleep with tranquilizer shots, or sneak up really close and put enemies in a chokehold till they pass out. There are searchlights, tanks, trucks, patrols, and security cameras to help give you a challenge, making the game quite satisfying to play. There are also many paths and methods to achieve your objectives, which is admirable for a game which is small in area size and short in gameplay time.

Which brings us to the major faults ofGround Zeroes:它非常短,有一个地方可以玩。有多短?您可以在第一次播放的大约一个小时内完成主要故事情节,并在花时间环顾四周并查看环境。一个小时的播放时间根本不可接受当前价格,蒸汽的价格为20美元(如果您在更多的“电影”平台上支付了原始价格,则为30美元)。任务进行的区域很小:您可以在大约一分钟内从一端冲刺到另一端。如果您尝试获得游戏的所有成就,那么您将很快感到无聊,因为您将多次重做完全相同的区域(最少的27 timesfor the awful “Unlocked” achievement).

许多人评论说,主要故事很短,但是可以通过可选的额外侧面任务来延长游戏的生活。但是,对于任何具有额外侧面任务的游戏,也可以这样说。而且这些侧面任务不应该是忽略主要活动的简洁性的理由:有些人更喜欢扮演主要故事情节,而另一些人则是希望体验游戏所能提供的一切的完整主义者。为了Ground Zeroeson Steam, there are 6 side missions, each taking an average of 10-15 minutes, so the game is longer with side missions, but by an extra hour or so. More importantly, completionists will enjoy playing the same map over and over, so it is not quite as fun, even for them.

It hurts, but after finishing the game (and getting all the achievements), I feel that the game is not worth the asking price. It should have been priced at $5, or given away free to whet your appetite for幻影疼痛.
Oh, and you can play the game on “Normal” or “Hard” settings. These are translation errors. The actual difficulties are “Easy” and “Normal”.

Graphics: 6/10
Quite good, for a console port. Snake looks good, the soldiers look good, the terrain looks great. Different parts of the military base have a very different “feel”. There are some flaws: Foliage looks bad up close, whenever Snake is in the rain, he looks oiled instead of wet, Chico and Paz’s character models look horrible (or maybe that was intended?), and there are a few physics bugs (shown below). Overall, these flaws were minor, and easily ignorable. Compared to many other console ports,Ground Zeroes具有出色的图形。作为现代PC游戏,它的外观仍然很不错。

Storyline: 4/10
While the gameplay mechanics are good, the storyline is not. Snake’s mission is to “go and rescue prisoners,” but we are not told much about the prisoners, or why we need to rescue them. Kojima breaks with his tradition of detailed, explanatory cutscenes in favour of short bursts of radio chatter. A little bit of the story is also told during the loading screen and a lot more is in the menu screen, which is a baffling place to put your story. For people who are picking upGround Zeroesas their first MGS game, the ending might prove to be less meaningful (and maybe incomprehensible), as you have no idea of the significance of that which you lost.

音频:5/10
Not bad.
Misc score: 9/10 (as a demo)
If this game was released as a “demo” instead of a game, it would get a very high score. In fact, it might be praised as one of the best demos ever released. It showed off a good game engine, great level design and excellent gameplay. As a result ofGround Zeroes, I have very high faith that幻影疼痛would be a great game, and am definitely going to buy it when it releases. For me at least,Ground Zeroesachieved its objectives fully… if it were a demo. Unfortunately,Ground Zeroes销售和定价是傅吗ll game. For $20, I expect more than a main campaign that lasts for one hour.
Overall score: 4/10
Excellent as a demo, subpar as a full game. May be worth it if you are a die-hard ultra fan. For everyone else, wait for the game to be on a steep sale.
