Congrats, my second favourite game series after Resident Evil.

jBlakeeper709d ago

RE is my fav also. The first game I ever remember playing was RE2 with my dad.

darkrider709d ago

Those deserve a remake and a new one. I played so many hours.. Still remember the hype of buying them

RosweeSon709d ago

Just finished MGS4 again and it still holds up really well, platinum’d MGS3 last year and wow even that as a ps2 is incredible. Hideo really is a 🐐

darkrider709d ago

For me mgs3 was amazing! He really is!!!!

andy85709d ago

Baffles me they never bought MGS4 to newer systems

Muigi709d ago

Unless Kojima is involved in some capacity please god don’t make another one.

RosweeSon709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

100% he is the heart and soul of the series. Hopefully Sony snag the IP and give it Hideo for him to have a field day 🤞🏻🤞 27995;🤣

darthv72708d ago

I'd def love a remake of the original. Twin Snakes was good but to see a full on remake with dual sense controls and tempest sound and maybe even some VR support... that would be epic.

darkrider708d ago

Yeah. Thats was another good one. This franchise is a wasted gold mine.

RosweeSon709d ago

If they made MGS4 again they’d clear 65 million just saying

MrChow666709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

I've been wanting to replay MGS4 for years now, I'd be happy with a remaster, no need for an over ambitious remake in this case.

RosweeSon709d ago

Yeah I wanted to play for a while and seen it on ps Now via PS5 but for some strange reason they’ve decided to remove it on 17th so had a good old session managed to get me some trophies 🙌🏻🤣 (no kills/alerts) great game tho do love a good metal gear really won’t be same if it’s not Hideo for me tho it’s his little Easter eggs and nuggets that he leaves, also the attention to detail and extras you just don’t get in most games. Legend

Flawlessmic709d ago

Even better if they just made a collection with all the games in it. So i can enjoy them all without having to jump through hoops and consoles.

FanboysKiller709d ago

Numbers leads to new announcements , just saying.

just_looken709d ago

They already have plachikno machine again and a set of nft's.

Nyxus709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

They update the sales numbers with their financial reports, I don't think it means anything.

MrChow666709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

Gameplay wise it's excellent, Just don't expect the same level of storytelling of more traditional (non open world) entries in the series, if you accept it for what it is you will enjoy it.

TheColbertinator709d ago

Sometimes I see it for 10$ on the sales lists. Well worth it and the graphics still hold up well.

porkChop709d ago

Great gameplay. Fun loop. Terrible pacing. Literally unfinished story with large gaps between cutscenes/narrative. Chapter 2 is mostly just replaying earlier missions for no reason.

If you play MGS for story you should skip MGSV. If you just want a fun action game with a lot of freedom you should play MGSV.

LoveSpuds709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

@Porkchop
With respect, whilst agree that the story is generally under-baked, I think there is still a lot to enjoy in respect of story, lore, fan service if you are fan of the series. I got so much enjoyment out of all of the bonkers story, audio recordings etc., let alone all of the Easter eggs and nods to previous games; this on top of what I found to be incredible gameplay made the title one of my fave games on PS4.

RosweeSon709d ago

Hope so it’s the only one I’ve not got round to really don’t know why it’s taken so long but maybe as I wanted to do 2 again on vita 3 on ps5 (via ps Now) 4 same way wanna do metal gear 3 on vita first tho me thinks really enjoyed it and seems like the new ones quite a bit different but does look great

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan177d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara177d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721177d ago (Edited 177d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus177d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow177d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Michiel1989177d ago

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

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…

Cacabunga193d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19193d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19193d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq193d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger193d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder193d ago

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.

YourMommySpoils193d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder193d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85193d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac193d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420193d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim193d ago

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.

KyRo192d ago

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
