Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review - Time

The new pinnacle of stealth gaming, and a triumphant farewell from one of the medium's brightest luminaries.

SaveFerris3164d ago

Time magazine does gaming reviews now?

Ezio20483164d ago (Edited 3164d ago )

Yup. I think it's the first game reviewed by TIME.

scark923164d ago

Its about TIME! *BA DUM TSK*

.. Please love me

Bathyj3164d ago

I love you. Everything you said after it's about time was hilarious.

Of course, I've been drinking.

xer03164d ago

I think we're all a bit surprised.

Testament to Kojimas creativity and gaming culture, becoming one of the most popular and mainstream activities.

Anything for hits. But its a good thing that a high profile mag like TIME does game reviews. It can only be good for gaming - in this case a very good thing for MGSV. That perfect review score!

Currently sitting at 95 on Metacritic, thats GTA/Super Mario territory, really impressive.

scark923164d ago

Could I be awaiting the best game I will ever play? Metal Gear Solid 3 is currently my top 1, very interesting (and long) wait.

Perjoss3164d ago

Depends on what you liked about 3, reviewers are saying MGSV is not as story heavy as pervious games in the series and the cutscenes are much shorter. I dont mind either long or short cutscenes as long as they have just the right amount of Kojimaness in them ;)

harikaerif3164d ago

Other MGS games have 94-96 metacritic scores too. So it's basically MGS territory too.

Perjoss3164d ago

True but Phantom Pain's development was a little rocky, no David Hayter and that whole Kojima departure fiasco. Not to mention Konami going through a phase of abandoning AAA games development in favor of mobile games.

LoveSpuds3164d ago

Never thought I would say this, but after 18 hours over 2 days, I may have played a game that topples Bloodborne for my game of the year. It really is as good as the reviews suggest and I have barely scratched the surface.

You've been playing for 18 hours?? WTH

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

Number1TailzFan176d ago

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

Stanjara176d ago

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

Minute Man 721176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus176d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow176d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

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…

Cacabunga192d 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

micdagoat19192d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19192d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq192d ago

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

Chocoburger192d ago

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

RupeeHoarder192d 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.

YourMommySpoils192d ago

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

RupeeHoarder192d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85192d ago

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

1nsomniac192d ago

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

Snowb420192d ago

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

Shane Kim192d 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
