"As to whom we’re seeing on screen; I have a theory. I was talking to a friend and he’s convinced me that this character is non-other than Liquid Snake.
The theory that this new character is Liquid could be dismissed because the arm he’s missing is his left one and not the right. However, we have to keep in mind that “an arm” was recovered. It was never specified as to which one."
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
You forgot the biggest clue of them all, the fact that the character's hair looks lighter than Snake's and Big Boss, hinting at Liquid, although Solidus also has light hair. That said, Liquid possibly dyed his hair that colour in MGS, I can't recall.
The age of the character would fit Liquid also, and the British flag in the hospital also some hint seeing as Liquid has ties to the UK.
"You've been in a coma for quite some time".
What's interesting is could this be the true story of what happened to Liquid Snake post Shadow Moses and could it be that Liquid is suffering phantom pain from who he is cloned from... Big Boss, hence some of the visions in the trailer.
Just to add. I thought this was actually a nightmare mini game for MGS V developed by a different studio.
That would be an awesome twist!
**** NO! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How are people taking the fact that Ocelot took dead Liquids arm and turning it into this? It would be more plausible for it to be Ocelot, but it isn't. It's so very obviously Big Boss, you'd have to be completely ignorant of the series to think anything else.
This game not MGS5 and not next-gen visuals.
The answer is pretty obvious, no f'ing around with is that this and what if that, it's pretty simple:
The 'Phantom pain' is a chapter in MGS5 as in actually leading to a boss battle ie the specter you see floating around. The boss specialises in psychological tricks and the level is a product of it. Quite frankly I'm shaking my head at why this hasn't been suggested when a big deal of Metal Gear involves some sort of boss like that.
