Tom Francis:
"Being an outsider to the Metal Gear series, I was only cautiously optimistic about V. All I heard about the last one was that it had 90-minute cut-scenes. I watched enough of one of them on YouTube to determine that it was… not my cup of tea. Of V, I’d seen some fun stuff in videos, but I was half-assuming the story would barge in and ruin it."
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am not a fan of the story and lore of a Metal Gear at all, but this game appeals to me for the blending of the great parts (design, gameplay, graphics) and slimming down of what I consider (as in my opinion!) bloat (cutscenes and plot).
The whole point of MGS is the story which is why I'm skipping this completely until they fix their $%&#.
"I can't get behind 90 minutes of story"
Jesus do people not read books anymore? I loved MGS story... Mgsv was good but at the end it was more an open world game than Metal Gear. Most fans will agree with this, and while it does appeal to those who were not series fans I can only hope that Konami continues the series and finds a common ground between large cut scenes and scarce cut scenes
