Don't know about the rest of GZ missions, but the mission about Paz and Chico was designed to be completed by stealth perfectly.
Seeing as people where able to complete it by going in guns blazing because there was no reason to use stealth at all in GZ, this is false.

I believe the reason to use stealth lies or doesn't lie within players' mindsets. Mindsets are known to be different

You said "was designed to be completed by stealth perfectly." This is false, you said nothing about player mindsets before.

Ya that bullettime aspect when you get caught, no managing resources and regen health will not disappoint people.
The problem with Ground Zeroes also co-exist with the reboot of Thief -- You can finish the new Thief in approximately twenty minutes by sprinting to the next point of no return, alerting any organic being in the nearest vicinity, none of which chase you past points of no return. A game with any balls at all would then say "Get the **** back in there and take this seriously! If you don't jack enough loot to buy Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, then I'll be keeping all these experience points for myself!". Thief, on the other hand, goes "Well done for playing the game your way! Hell, who says a game called Thief has to be about stealing things, am I right? It's such a frickin' unprecedented way of thinking with stealth games nowadays -- feeling like that stealth games has to be anything else but... oh, I don't know.. a stealth game? An actual stealth game should encourage the stealth, not the other way around.

While I'm personally someone who enjoys health regen, I have to agree with this. It does not belong in a Metal Gear game.
Iirc the bullet time reflex can be turned off, but I didn't mind it
If you get caught, you should deal with the consequences, not have a chance to kill the person who saw you in slow mo

And for a highly trained super soldier, he should basically have reactions like that
Both arguments are valid
It would be the first thing I'd do when I get caught. Just as long as the guard doesn't call for back-up before you shoot him - you won't really get problems.
Just make sure no one finds the body.
It's about the players skill. If you get caught, it should be you with your own skill that gets out of this mess, not a massive handicap.

From what i've seen of it there should have been limited uses for it. Just one get out of jail free card you can choose to activate.
All the slow-motion mark & execute function does is cheat you out of gameplay -- Big Boss isn't a super soldier -- he's just a man with some extraordinary fighting techniques, which doesn't justify him suddenly being able to do cartwheels, or other nonsense like the mark & execute thing. It was already jarring enough to watch Snake surfing on missiles in Twin Snakes -- Leave that over-the-top nonsense to Splinter Cell or Rising.
If one gets spotted then naturally they should get punished for it like in the previous games.

Hell it would be like if during the fight the final boss in Snake Eater a big ass indicator would show up telling you where she is and if she got close the game would go into slow mode so any person no matter their skill could beat her in CQC.

Let's observe the matter from a little different angle. What does the absence of automatic health regen usually means for a game? It means the presence of healing consumables. While you have the consumables you have healing that is much more powerful than slow automatic regeneration at your disposal. You can instantly recover large portion, or full health when you want to. Yes, consumables have limits, but automatic regen is too slow compared to instant heals.
In other words, it doesn't matter which kind of healing GZ and Phantom Pain are using. What matters is how well this healing will be balanced.
And for a highly trained super soldier, he should basically have reactions like that
Both arguments are valid
This slow-motion is a simulation of skills regular people can't have. It's like Adrenaline Rush in ME2 and ME3. Slow-mo is the only way to imitate lightning reflexes in a video game. You have to be an elite soldier in real combat situation to perform that for real.
Health regen is a crux in game design, it was made so the newer generation would not have to worry about managing resources, doing proper planning and counting, just so they can get into the pew pew pew.
Well it's a good thing MGS PP comes out next year, they could still use the criticism from GZ to help the game

Game can have other resources to manage. Ammo, for example.

Which you can always do patting down the enemies, the same with rations

And I will play it no matter which health recovery system they will eventually use

Ok?

Yes, but enemies will not give their resources freely. Player has to take them by stealth or by force. And they are not unlimited.
