From the grand scope of the game to its incomplete nature, here are some reasons why Metal Gear Solid 5 was a worthy finale (and why it wasn't).
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 game takes a nosedive after you deal with Skull Face. Nothin but repetitive missions to close out the story
I loooooved Mgs5 ! the gameplay and mechanics were the king and i played almost all of Mgs games but i understand why some fans don't like it as much. Don't blame the game too much for some of the missing content and lack off story compared to other Mgs games during the making of the game was the period where Konami was turning into dogshit as a company and things were heating up between Kojima and Konami so he made sure to put his name in there after every mission lol to make sure they know who's the real Big Boss of MGS.. epic win for him.
Best was narrative? Wtf are you smoking? haha
Yes the amount of options available to you to infiltrate bases was impressive and arguably the only good thing about MGSV. The actual open world is barren and boring. The missions and side ops (mostly side ops) recycle the same main bases. Sure you can try doing the base a million times with different equipment, but once you learn its layout it's really not fun anymore.
The AI was not very smart and easily tricked and manipulated. Due to the open world structure the AI seems to only focus on a cone in front of them and they all have very bad hearing.
MGSV is arguably one of the worst Metal Gears of the series, and not only because it was unfinished.
LMAO! ok ok ok right, like for the first handful of missions then you realize they literally had nothing else so they stretched it out and recycled missions till they could say it’s a retail game.
There’s a reason Kojima was fired.
MGSV was the best controlling game in the series a shame narrative wise it was essentially a slap in the face of MGS fans.
