MCV:
It’s been seven years since there was a full, console Metal Gear Solid game.
Yes, we’ve had 2010 PlayStation Portable title Peace Walker, 2013’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and last year’s Metal Gear Solid V prologue, Ground Zeroes. But next month’s The Phantom Pain is the first proper Metal Gear game since 2008’s Guns of the Patriots.
And, judging by the early reviews, it appears to have been worth the wait.
“Basically, it is the most engrossing and stunning game of the year,” marketing executive Jon Edwards enthuses.
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.
...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.
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.
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 company has already committed to future iterations, which we look forwfard to.”
Without Kojima, i doubt the next iteration will be half as good. To me, this is the last true MGS game.
I really enjoy MCV interviews, their questions are always direct to the subject. I can't wait to play the game and to see the sequel without Kojima.
