"In just a couple of days, most of us will be playing Metal Gear Solid V (including 95% of the people who claim they've boycotted Konami). Chris felt that it was "equal parts tough and flashy, and it's fitting that if this is Kojima's last Metal Gear, he goes out on a high note."
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.
Looks, plays, and feels better than all the previous MGS games, I consider them the greatest games of all time even though I know they aren't close to being perfect.
Perfection doesn't exist in a wide sense, each individual has their own set idea of the very notion, mine being MGS3 being the perfect game of all time says it all.
The "perfect game" is a myth.
Impossibru!
I'm just glad the game is good. I couldn't take another mediocre one play through experience again like most of the games this gen.
Then you have a less than perfect game, these games have never been perfect. They have delivered a great games , fun games , a game worth having and knowing they have done that game after game am okay with that. Besides like others have stated perfect is Myth .
