5 questions I have after beating Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

GamesBeat's Mike Minotti: After the credits rolled, I still had a ton of questions. And with all of the drama at Konami, it’s likely we may never get the answers. Yet I can’t help but ponder these mysteries out loud. These are the five biggest questions I had after beating The Phantom Pain.

I hope kojima at least tells his fans what was cut from the game story/content, I'm going to assume he won't though, he's probably glad to be finally finished with it

"What happened to mother base?"

Pretty sure Big Boss and his Diamond Dogs moved to Outer Heaven soon afterwards. Then it eventually became MGS2's Big Shell

JoakimMogren3143d ago

if you played mgs2 then you would know that big shell was made after the tanker incident,that nission at the beginning of the game

bigboss203143d ago

No the big shell was in new York mother base is in the Indian sea haha

Timesplitter143143d ago

MAYBE THEY FULTONED THE ENTIRE BASE

So Big Boss just wanted around in perfect condition for 9 years on a hunch that our character would come to? Seems like a waste of a decade of Big Bosses life to me if I understand everything correctly.

SaveFerris3143d ago

Maybe he just wanted to 'walk the Earth'. You know, like Caine in Kung Fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures. /s

WitWolfy3143d ago (Edited 3143d ago )

LOL he must've come and visit medic on a daily basis and be like "hows he looking doc?" and DR replies "Good good... But I dont think he'll ever talk again though..."

whyisthehorsestaring3143d ago

And why did he wake up with the Bosses voice ha.

coolman2293143d ago

******spoilers******

That's something that I didn't get either. It's somewhat implied that Big Boss just sat in the hospital for the whole time, which makes no sense because he's literally drawn to war. It's something that made him similar to Solid Snake. They're both drawn to conflict, the difference was that Snake fought for a good cause while BB fought for the hell of it. I can't believe that BB would just sit in a hospital for 9 years just to watch over a random guy who /might/ wake up so they can fulfill some really obscure plan.

I'd love the twist more if it was just a ruse while BB was out doing stuff. But it all feels so haphazardly thrown together I have a hard time believing this game has been in development for so long.

I came to see Big Boss become evil, not see some random medic pretend to be Big Boss.

Big boss was in a coma as well. Listen to the truth tape where zero visits him in hospital.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan175d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara175d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721175d ago (Edited 175d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus175d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow175d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

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…

Cacabunga191d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19191d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19191d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq191d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger191d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder191d ago

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.

YourMommySpoils191d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder191d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85191d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac191d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420191d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim191d ago

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.

KyRo191d ago

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
