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
Guess what. No one cares. This just seems like an attempt to get other people to not play the game. You may not have enjoyed it because of the way you approached the game. You don't want to listen to the tapes yet you judge the story and you refuse to accept that it's not what you expected it to be. Stop b**ching about how the game isn't exactly how you pictured it in your fan fiction. The game was good, the story makes sense, the combat is great.
And here's a thing about the combat. Because you don't even take the time to actually figure out the combat system, there are several ways to take out every enemy. You're only upset because you choose to just blow things up and claim it as being the games fault.
It honestly sounds like you didn't even bother with Quiets story considering you say there was no character development.
Quiet was a character? Seriously? She might be strong but you might as well replace her personality with a 2x4.
The Phantom Pain has its moments but they pale in comparison to the old MGS games.
Counterpoint - I'm over 180 hours and still not tired of it.
Another opinion piece to stir up emotions for hits? I am shocked!
I completely agree, i love MG but this is by far the worst MG i have played, the game is insanely boring and the boss battles are lame, they spent more time developing a complicated menu that character development.
