In just a few days time, the embargo for the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain previews will end, and we will be getting a lot of new impressions on the highly anticipated title. Both Xbox: The Official Magazine and Official PlayStation Magazine in the UK have featured the game on the cover for their next issue. Xbox: The Official Magazine shows a brand new artwork on the front, but be warned: it provides a clear look at the new Metal Gear, which may be considered a spoiler.
The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.
No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.
Meh
Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.
Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.
I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.
Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.
Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.
Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.
Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.
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.
That looks awesome! I like how it shows many different characters and like the style. Somewhat gives me a nostalgic feeling back to older days.
I dont really see any spoilers in there, just everything they show more or less in the trailers.
The Metal Gear looks more advanced than Rex.
cant wait the game...
I read the Battlefront issue last night. Some great info on the game. Also had a huge 6 page feature on Elite Dangerous, which sounds friggen sweet. Been reading OXM religiously the past few months, they always have good features.
