Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Review

[@sjaakvenemans3988]

For the people who are complaining that the game is repetitive... MGS V gives you the freedom to approach every situation the way you want. If it feels repetitive, then it is because your own approach is repetitive...

One of the most polished and well developed games I've ever played before. The controls are extremely responsive, the graphics are stunning, the stealth gameplay is as usual for a Metal Gear Solid game incredible, the story is somewhat disappointing if you're a huge Big Boss fan, but this is one amazing game. You can tell how hard the development team worked on this game with how amazing this game is.

This was my first Metal Gear game, so I didn't care about the story at all, but that just made me enjoy the gameplay more

[@vtcbatman2444]

+ScummyBeg Lem yeah, problem is going back is now way more difficult, cause I've played the best version of the gameplay.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

The only reason they gave it a 5/10 was because they got stuck and got pissed off. Metal Gear Solid V is not an easy game, there are some really hard missions, but if you any kind of intelligence you would be able to figure out a strategy to get past the mission. Metal Gear Solid V is one of the best games I've ever played, and it's a looooong game, there is so much to do in this game and sooo many missions.

[@tmacsgvs]

When i player Gta V i thought it was going to be amazing and i was gonna have hours of playing but I finished the story in like 2 days and most of the content is in online mode is metal Gear v like that too? because once you've done the main mission things get pretty boring , its pathetic give me your review about the offline version of MGSV

[@johnybliss8253]

Bino Kenye the only content that misses from mgsv offline is mgs online what i mean is all of the game's content is included in the actual game from the 50 main story missions the the 157 side ops the only thing you cant have access to while playing offline is the fob mode which i dont really like cuz it really messes with your single player experience but is well thought out never the less and its the best game of 2015 for me in terms of gameplay graphics and rewarded creativity

Thanks for reply I ordered the game

[@PolarbearYGT]

yeah about 40 percent of the game, I loved and the remaining 60, I hated....

[@damienjohn]

I'd give this game a 10, hell I'd give it an *11*, and even I didn't think the story was up to the standard of some of the other MGS titles. The sheer brilliance in craft is what gives this game an immediate 10 in my eyes. From a technical standpoint it's perhaps the most impressive title I've ever played; the intricacy of the game's interconnected systems is mind-blowing, and once you unlock FOB missions, the integrated PvP elements take it to a whole, WHOLE other level. I've spent hours meticulously outfitting my base with security devices and "farming" better recruits to defend against other players. From an RPG/completionist standpoint, I don't think I've ever been this satisfied with a game.

[@damienjohn]

zizo847 someone needs a nap.

[@leeturner8023]

+Damien John Agreed. The first few levels felt a little bit flat, and I thought the rest of the game was going to be that way, but, oh no, it just kept getting better and better, until I became flat out addicted to it. I haven't been so addicted to a video game since MGS3: Subsistence and Resident Evil 4.

[@ijustwantmyphonecall6947]

Agreed, the story is pretty straight forward tbh, whoever complains about the story never played a mgs so they don't understand and blame the storytelling instead of listening to cassette tapes for more background knowledge. Filthy casuals.

As a Metal Gear purist, Snake Eater is still by far my favorite in the series. It's a little unusual to be playing a Metal Gear with such little story. Not to say that MGS5 is bad, not by far, It's just such a dramatic change from the series. THOUGH, knowing that i'm playing as Big Boss himself (aka Mr Snake Eater) gives me a nostalgic feeling all in the same. I give MGS5 an Ocelot rating of 4 out 5 "You're pretty good's."

None of the villains have shown up since the prologue either, not even the slightest mention of anything that happened prior to going to Afghanistan. Wtf is so great about this game, it's just skulking around an unnecessarily huge and empty desert with nothing to do but sneak up on the exact same looking enemies over and over. I'm a big fan of MGS and stealth games in general but honestly I would give this game a 6/10 so far (maybe even a 5) compared to 3 and 4 which I would both give a 10. I can't believe I'm saying this but that last CoD game was more inventive than this.

[@LiangHuBBB]

+reallybeenfar I could not have said this better well said and I agree 100%

[@reallybeenfar7439]

LiangHuBBB Yeah I'm about 7 more hours in and nothing has changed except I finally got to some story with the 6th mission but that was it and the menus for the iDroid make literally no sense at all and it explains absolutely nothing lol

[@Darkseadee]

+reallybeenfar I like the slower paced story, almost gives it an air of realism, it's basically a shadow war, it's not gonna be event after event after event. The desert is amazing and I love traveling it, and are you suggesting they should have cluttered it to be less "empty" because that would suck. The gameplay and stealth is WAY less repetitive than any of the other MGS games, it's always something new even when going into a area I've been before. Also, seriously, less iventive than CoD, it's your opinion if it's not enjoyable, but that is completely false, there hasn't been a game this inventive in years.

[@lostn65]

+reallybeenfar If you're a fan of the previous games, you weren't the target audience. The untapped market of new players is who Konami was going for. Sorry, but you don't matter anymore. Square Enix have realized the exact same thing.

[@OhKyuubiHD]

[@debanjanroy5428]

The freedom, the gameplay mechanics, the tools and everything makes you feel like you're the boss. The story was a bit unpolished because of the Kojima and Konami situation but that doesn't stop the game from being a masterpiece and have to mention that it has one of the best opening sequence/prologue. 10/10 And to those guys who are whining about the review and saying the game is too repetitive, you have to change your approach and play style for later missions, use all the tools in your arsenal, go loud, go stealth, go smart, change your loadouts, buddies, arms etc. Don't use the same damn things again and again. It feels fresh everytime.

[@SaraZamboniMusic]

One of the best games I ever experienced. Its narrative technique is so advanced that it presents the player effectively linear and non-linear forms of narrations. The surprises never end actually. Every part of the game has so many narrative details that I think the player is more personally motivated to listen to all the cassettes, trying to get out more and more details about the story and its characters. I also appreciated the references to the music of the 80's: I found also fun having such hit songs as soundtrack in a mood that is completely the opposite from the game situation.

[@agnarspilde7283]

Personally, this is the best game I have ever played. The game might not have the same type of story telling like previous games, but in my experience of the game, i found it extremely satisfying. By mixing side-ops with main missions, it became one hell of a playthrough. Listening to the audiologs while sneaking, planning where to go next and completing side-ops missions, it's been amazing. I loved every part of it. The story, even though it was cut due to budget issues, was still amazing and satisfied me. And whenever a cutscene appeared, it was damn good. This is just MY opinion, you might think otherwise. And if you do, that's okay. I'm not going to argue on why I love this game as much as I do, I just do. It's the Metal Gear i've always wanted. It broke my heart when Hideo Kojima left Konami. I can't wait to see where he goes next. And as for Konami, I truly hope you find the perfect team for Metal Gear Solid 6. Kojima is a true mastermind, but the world has more than one mastermind. I'm sure Konami will find someone who shares the same passion and marvelous ideas for the series as Kojima himself. Atleast that's what I want to believe.

For me, this game is a 9-10/10 but with mixed feelings. The story (while good) is the worst in the series and the replaying the missions in chapter 2 pissed me off although that's not Kojimas fault. The insane detail and design of this game is simply mind blowing. Only this and The Witcher 3 has this level of detail and realism in its world. The way you infiltrate areas, the guards realistic dialogue, the fantastic AI (possibly the best AI ever in video games) And then of course, the best gameplay ever.

[@chevyboycp]

Honestly one of my biggest gripes about Metal Gear Solid 4 was all of the story because if you skipped through that it's really not much gameplay the second go round and I like the way this one gives you the story in the version of those tapes if you have time to listen and if you're a Mgs fan you'll have time to listen so I like how it kinda lets you get deeper into the gameplay.
