Don't get your hopes up. Nothing interesting happens :( They snark at each other a bit but that's about it. 'You know who' has like one meaningful interaction with Kaz, and nothing with Ocelot.

Ocelot is incredibly boring. I don't know how that's even possible but Kojima has managed it. He acts as the voice of reason, he doesn't spin his guns, and there are even points where he's like "Hey now, maybe you should stop torturing that person". He's essentially a completely different person with generic Troy Baker voice.

In terms of watching the cutscenes, if you've scene the trailers you've essentially seen them all anyway, except the trailers make everything seem much more interesting and meaningful. They also give you the illlusion that there will be a coherent narrative.

The whole game is a complete disappointment, unless you're really in to spending most of your time travelling through barren wastelands to get to and from interchangeable mission locations so you can complete repetitive objectives and attach balloons to everything that's not nailed down.

Nothing with Ocelot, how's that even possible?! Is Ocelot not in much of the game in general? Everything I was led to believe about this game from the trailers and Kojima is a lie, apparently.

Ocelot is incredibly boring.

That sentence offends me to my very core, yet I imagine you do not say it lightly. That's some bullshit right there; if Ocelot isn't spinning guns, being a pest and getting off on torturing people then why is he even around? It sounds like Kojima dropped the ball on this one.

This is what I feared when I heard the game was going to be open world...however, I had at least hoped that the story would be as strong as usual. I'm kind of angry just hearing about it because this game was supposed to be Big Boss' epic downfall, the game the fanbase had been waiting for, and, well... :(

Ocelot's there. He's there the whole time. He just doesn't really do anything notable. He and Kaz share the job of telling you stuff in the field, but that's about as dry and uninteresting as it can be. He supposedly trains recruits, but you barely see that. He just kind of stands around with his arms crossed in cutscenes and occasionally tortures people (but only to the extent necessary! Kaz is more keen on torture than he is). You could remove him entirely and it would change very little. I love Ocelot so much so I was incredibly disappointed by this. What a waste of an amazing character.

It's not...100% all bad though. If you're in to BB/Ocelot there's a nice little bit at the end, and there's a tape where they call each other by their real names and Ocelot sounds so excited about it.

The story is definitely not strong and it is presented very poorly. It doesn't even have a proper ending. Like, without spoiling too much, the last mission is just a straight repeat of a previous part of the game, with an extra cutscene at the start and end. It's like Kojima listened to the criticisms of MGS4 and then went in the complete opposite direction. The story is an afterthought to the gameplay, and while the gameplay is very good at first, it quickly gets repetitive and there's not nearly as much creativity and variety in missions and locations as in previous games.

:( I wonder what happened...Kojima seemed so excited about this game, and made it sound so damn amazing. I know there was a ton of drama going on with Konami, but I don't see why it would effect the game that much. Maybe he just wanted to try something new and didn't succeed. Maybe he lost track of all his characters in all the retcons, lmao.

I do like BB/Ocelot and BB/Kaz but not sure if it's enough to bother with playing the game...

And you don't have to worry about spoiling me, I figured out the 'twist' (at least the part about not playing as BB) in the prologue. For me that was it, I didn't want anything else to do with game after that.

Maybe that makes me petty but that was the whole reason I was looking forward to the game. Knowing that you play as someone else even if BB orchestrated it...seems to defeat the purpose of all the main character goes through. (I guess you're supposed to look at it as, "Look at how low BB is willing to stoop, haha, look at how much Venom went through because of him, Boss is the devil incarnate" and yet thinking about it... arg. It sounds cheap and unsatisfying.)
