A reader offers his own review of the latest Metal Gear Solid game, and explains why he thinks it’s been overrated by fans and critics.
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.
As a huge MG fan, I am very disappointed with this game. It had everything going for it, but the story fell short imo. The way the story was presented was not well thought out. It's confusing and all over the place. I feel like it's a chore just to watch cutscenes because you have to trigger them by doing something in the game such as a side op or something. The game would have been amazing if they would of found a way to bring open world and story together. The most disappointing part about this is that Kojima can't improve on this since this is his last mgs game. It just leaves a horrible taste In my mouth :(
Reviews don't actually hold up with this one. Such a let down but given high scores based on the brand name, Kojima and the kafuffle that went on with him and Konami.
If reviewers played the game for longer it would actually sink in once the repetitive missions sink in
It was a story which shouldn't have been told
For me the last MGS game was MGS4
Best gameplay I've played in the mgs series but least of my favorite story wise...all we can do is move on instead of looking back, sad to say.
Imo after what can arguably be one of the greatest game openers (think mass effect 2 was the last one), after that it just wasn't particular interesting to play..tbh that first mission after your all patched up was just unbelievably boring
