Check out a list of uncommon tips for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
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
Good tips I suppose, Didn't realize you could do that with the water gun :)
Here's one, one that I'm surprised is still in this game because you could do it in Peace Walker, which made some of those vehicle side ops much easier to do solo. If you want to conserve your tranquilizer pistol's ammo and suppressor early on in a mission, just hold up enemies and tell them to get down. They'll stay that way indefinitely, unless approached by another soldier telling them to get up or if you trigger an alert.
I agree with everything apart from the point on night-time, the way the game is designed if you keep doing missions during the night-time the enemies just start wearing NVGs which defeats the purpose of it being at night.
You should just do missions at the time you come across them
These are pretty poor tips, most of them will only get you an A ranking or below.
Airstriking a base to death kind of defeats the point of the game. You literally get no gameplay value out of that. No stealth opportunities, and no action. And of course, just using the Airstrike once limits your ranking which affects your GMP yield for the mission. While at the same time, killing the enemies is a waste of resources that you could have extracted for mother base.
Ewch air strike costs like 9000 points. Only did it once... In like mission 7 or something, plus you cant ALWAYS use it.
