Watching this demo
(link) I can't help but get a sort of Monster Hunter vibe. Going out to gather plants? Having
hunters for hire your lackeys go out and do stuff for you? Sounds Monster Hunter enough for me, now it just needs a farm with cat people.
Playing as various other not-snake people seems like a cool idea, and it even has female soldiers which is also pretty neat for some variety.
Calling in indirect fire support seems like a cool idea, and they even have smoke screens. Manipulating the weather though? That's silly, but hey, it's MGS, soooo...
Same sort of thing with diamonds randomly spawning in your base... silly, but whatever. At least it justifies the fly-around your helicopter does before landing so you can spot them in the air.
THose shower look amazing. Not only is it a normal shower for cleaning your body, but it acts as a washing machine for your clothes at the same time. Don't even need to get naked(snake) or anything. If that technology was around back then why can't we have it today? I could be wrong it it looks like Snake is wearing different armor between those transitions, so people who prefer action shooty games might prefer heavier armor while the stealthier ones take lighter armor, maybe? And of course, it's a Metal Gear game... so being smelly is a thing. Reminds me a bit of Deadly Premonition.
Why is there an anime on the wall. Goddamnit Japan.
While the FOBs look cool, it's good that they're optional. I'll probably save any online play for MGO. It's actually kinda Dark Souls-esque.
