Like many other people we here at TVGS are anticipating the release of MGSV The Phantom Pain more and more each day. We thought it was about time to share our top five reasons why we believe The Phantom Pain is going to be one of the best games in the Metal Gear Solid saga.
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

doubt it. My expectations for this game are too high and I know it.
Disagree with #4
Too much micromanagement of mother base will make this game a slog of menus and strategy like. A man doesn't want an AC Revelations scenario where you have to constantly go to your holdings and make sure they're safe and be constantly worrying about mother base being attacked and gaining supplies for it. MGS3 was great because this stuff was limited (a man's favorite). Keep it on that level and you've got a masterpiece. Also get that shrapnel out of Big Boss' head it's ruining his character design.
I have only one reservation about MGSV, and that reservation comes because of the fact it's also developed for last gen hardware. Unfortunately we all know that means it won't be as vast in scope or scale as it could have been with current gen development only. I'll still enjoy it, but I know in the back of my mind I'll wonder what it would have been like if it were just ps4/xbone/pc. It looks fantastic, I'm just wondering if the world won't be big enough due to those constraints.
