MCV:
Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid swansong sold almost half a million copies across PS3 and PS4 in its debut week.
That’s according to the latest data from Famitsu, which shows that the PS4 SKU of open-world stealth game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain shifted over 315,000 units last week, rocketing to the top of the retail software charts.
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
The Sony consoles really carry this franchise
Those numbers shows that Sony needs to take Kojima Productions and makes them First Party because they will sell like hot cakes.
Kojima Productions and Naughty Dog developing for PS4 will mean huge success for Sony.
MGS don't play in Japan!
Hello, my name is Bathyj and I'm Metal Gear Solid addict.
I've played it 45 hours in just over a week, roughly the same number of hours I spent at work in the same time frame, only when I'm playing Metal Gear I'm not thinking about work, but when I'm at work Im thinking about Metal Gear.
In fact the only reason Im typing this is because Im at work right now and cant play it and I would gladly drag my co-workers down with a tranq headshot if I could just check how much longer my final R&D platform has to go before its finished.
I realise the first step is admitting you have a problem but if I can just get my R&D to 36 and my Medical to 31 I can get that Suppressed Tranquilizer Sniper Rifle and it will all be worth it and the friends and family I've neglected will understand the sacrifices Ive made.
That, or I will say goodnight.
