"Thanks to the power of Mom and Pop stores, I was able to get my hands on a copy of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain before its official release this upcoming Tuesday. Since I had the game, I wanted to make a real quick video where I give you my initial first impressions."
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
The Metal Gear series has sold 60.2 million copies, as of September 2023.
Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.
...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is another rollercoaster of a game in the Metal Gear Solid series. Here's what to expect and why you need to experience it.
Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…
I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that
The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.
Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.
Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.
The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.
The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.
The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.
MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
The biggest title of the year and unfortunately there are no mom and pop stores in my state smh Well at least I have something to look forward to. Awesome video and impressions.
After playing Ground Zeroes (free for PS+) and watching the Motherbase gameplay video, I've been trying to get into this awesome series. So far I've completed MGS2 and MGS3 (HD collection on Vita) and wow... they're really amazing, although I don't quite understand the story.
I'm going to start Peace Walker soon and get myself ready for MGSV. Preordered. Can't wait!
I'm confused.
"V has come to"
What does that mean?
I got my copy and I've just stopped playing it now (3am). It's definitely the toughest MGS game yet. The intro is pretty long, but when you get started you'll love the scale. My mother-base is slowly getting half decent recruits.
flat out love the game , can be a tad overwhelming but just embrace it
