I felt pretty depressed on my birthday a few years ago. That night, I got the urge to play a little mgsv. I almost cried grown man tears when I showed up to mother base for a surprise party hosted by Kojima. Greatest game series ever.
this game was incredibly well optimized. i remember playing it on my potato pc on launch getting a solid 60fps. i had something stupid like a gtx 750, 8 gigs of ram, etc
Surprisingly yes, I rarely went below 60fps and now this game is my first example for good optimization despite the odds so other developers have no excuse
We can all thank konami. Cheap people. Kojima hasn't let them down yet but konami just want fast money. Mgs5 is still a fantastic and fun game for what we got.
Yea but as a first time player, its a modern gaming horror/tragedy that we never got Chapter 3, its clear it was just so close and they ran out of time. Mission 31 right now
This game was very good though. First of all, Kiefer Sutherland did a nice job voice acting. I missed David Hayter at first, but after a while I got used to. I loved that little surprise when you played on your birthday, I literally didn't expect that. Of course the ending was mind blowing, but what about that one mission at your base when you had to kill your men who had been infected and they were saluting you and the peace walker theme was playing in the background? Besides red dead redemption 2,metal gear solid games are the only one who made me cry that much. I really enjoyed this game ( played about 240 hours) , but still my most favourite is always gonna be snake eater. That game is still a masterpiece!
A dream would be to have every metal gear remade using the fox engine. Yes it would cost $500 million or more but it would make 10x that. Konami is sitting on a billion dollar IP and instead they complain about it and drive their creator away so they can focus on forgettable mobile games in a saturated market.
When I finished it and met Big Boss in the end, I always thought that it was a really big missed opportunity that they just could have used Sutherlands voice for Venom Snake and David Hayter in Ground Zeroes and the end cutscene. I don't think Konami can be fully blamed for the unfinished state of the game...
Konami put the brakes on Kojima because Kojima was being a diva. Kojima had 10 years to get Phantom Pain done, which is plenty of time. Naughty Dog did Last of Us Part II in 5 years, so what is Kojima's excuse? The buck had to stop somewhere.
@@LUCKO2022 first of all metal gear the phantom pain cost 80 millions wich the last of us did not cost 80 millions second because konami are a compagnie that just cares about fast money not with the players (wich is dumb because if they didnt cut so much and be a little more patient and they would have gained far more than 80 millions )
@@LUCKO2022 Not to sound harsh, but that’s factually incorrect. It didn’t take 10 years for MGS5 because prior to that game, Kojima worked on Peace Walker which takes place before Phantom Pain. It was released in 2010
Hard to believe that September 2022 will mark 7 years this game came out. That’s just mind blowing to think how fast time has came and went. It felt like yesterday when we were all watching the countdown until launch. 🤯🤯🤯
I finally beat this game last night after starting a new game . I only made it to mission 31 or something on my 1st play through 6 years ago, life happened and I didn't get to finish. I didn't realize it had been so long so yeah, time flies. *sad face*
@@StrayEyeStudiosInc Damn no way 6 years ago I got to the same spot and now replaying it. Amazing game. Time flies but I'm grateful to still have the chance to soak up GREAT times.

no it ended too unfinished But damn that last act dragged on and on, I have played it a few times and always think that a lot of the last bit could be cut easily and then roll into mission 51 and finish the story
This game makes me sad. He never gets to finish his games. That's why MGS 3 is the best in the series. It's the most balanced. I wish we could have played the next game. Snake vs Gray Fox in the mine field.
@@cezerelecrucio9717 Lol it's so obviously not finished. What an ego. Death Stranding is a perfect example of that. I love Kojima but like any artist, sometimes you need to take a look at yourself from a third person perspective.

@@cezerelecrucio9717 Jesus dude relax. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the Fox blade this morning. God forbid anybody criticize any artist. Kojima is great but he eats, sleeps and shits just like anybody else. You can't make an $80 Million dollar game, replace David Hayters long dialogue scenes with 22min of Sutherland, cut the liquid snake ending plus young liquid playable section and expect not to get criticism. MGSV is not complete and that's not up for debate. Kojima can't single handedly make a game it requires a team of people. One man's ego doesn't speak for a room full of workers. Kojima doesn't respond well to criticism. Death Stranding is proof of that. I never said the game sucked but for Kojima to say that nobody understands the game so there fore the gameplay is good is just ridiculous. As a musician and artist myself. I know how hard it is to realize a vision and how hard it can be to take criticism. Look at the prequel trilogy. Lucas was surrounded by yes men so there was tons of issues. Everyone thought that just because he created Star Wars that he's perfect in everything. If Lucas had Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau during the prequels they'd be perfect. Lucas was surrounded by yes men like Kojima. Kojima needs other artists to work with to help say no or give a different perspective. It's not perfect working with Del Toro and Junji Ito because they have there own expertise but it's a start. Death Stranding is not a shitty game but to say that it's perfect means your heads in the clouds.
To this day nothing like it. People argue over the lack of cutscenes and unfinished scenes. But there’s nothing to compare it to these days. Not even assassins creed could reach these heights. Not dishonored. And definitely not hitman.
This game will be considered as a timeless masterpiece mark my words the uniqueness, creativity and smoothness of the gameplay is something I’ve never seen in a game before .
@@cezerelecrucio9717 that's like saying legendary stealth is hiding in a cardboard box. It's the variety the arkham games give you. But yes you can just swing from gargoyles
@@davidlopez6517 Enemies in MGSV will react differently to your cardboard boxes each and every single time you use one. You can use posters and different box camos for different effects, you can use them to soak up some bullets or ride down a hill side or to throw off your enemies line of sight, or to even hide bodies for a sort while. It took 3 entire games for enemies in Arkham to learn how to destroy gargoyles Batman has used. Just saying.
You have metal gear. Metal gear 2 snakes revenge, metal gear solid, metal gear solid 2, and finally metal gear solid 3 snake eater, where the stealth finally became complex. So if it took arkham 3 games to destroy the gargoyles, it took metal gear 5 games to get stealth past the "stare at Rader and watch cones" gameplay. Plus the enemies react differently to the boxes? Lmao bruh, they either kicked over the boxes, or walked by you. They didn't implement box posters until peacewalker which is SIX games down the line and even then they never worked outside of very niche situations.
This game had some of the best stealth mechanics and (realistic) complexities that no other game has really matched since. Look at a stealth game like Far Cry, you cant even go prone.
For the whole of last gen I only wished that one day we would get a directors cut of this game....Would make one of the best games ever made reach beyond master status.
As a long-time MGS fan, I was left disappointed with MGSV upon launch in 2015. I've very recently played it again, and whilst I forgive much about the title, there's still plenty that leaves me wanting. Mechanically, it's outstanding. It was and is a blast to play. However, the loss of memorable boss fights, the limited Codec, uninspiring villains, no Mr Hayter, the mostly bland open world environments and the unfulfilled tease of being the 'lost chapter of the MGS saga', left me longing for what MGS had been. Most significantly, I just didn't empathise or care for the characters and their exploits, as I had done in all previous MGS game. MGSV is a great game. I just feel it's not a good MGS title. Maybe that was Hideo's intention, to move away from what we (the fans) were familiar with. Our Phantom Pain for what was lost.
Mechanically, yes it is easily the best game ever made to this date. No game currently on the market even comes close mechanically speaking. But gameplay wise, the game is terrible, it is boring, lifeless open world, repetitive.
There was more to having Kiefer Sutherland voice snake than just what was mentioned. It was for the fact that venom snake is a doppelganger not actually big boss or a clone like solid snake. It was meant to show the differences, kojima just couldn't tell people that when he was asked why Kiefer Sutherland is doing the role since it was answered before the game was released. A lot of "cut stuff " a lot of it wasn't kojima but was actually konami. Kojima had long scenes were actually planned but konami said no, all of the eli stuff was cut because of konami etc.
I cant help but still really enjoy the game even if theres that much wrong with it, i wish a remake was an option where it was made right but i think ill live lol its a game that plays like no other and when you become so familier with it, it just feels even more fun to play
This game's story is a true masterpiece, showing Kojima's evolution as a director...I mean, all other MGS games feel like cartoon/comics compared to PP's narrative...Too bad fanboys were lazy to listen to tapes and pay attention to details...
I loved how they did storytelling with the tapes on this game I could listen to them at my own pace in the aerial command center, fill in missing context etc.
Well, Peace Walker had way better story and really was way ahead of its time, considering it was 1.5gb game for PSP back in 2009. MGSV took so many from it.
You could not be more wrong. Mgs3s ending had an AMAZING and emotional story to it. None of them have felt like cartoons. At all. Each one hits hard. Especially MGS3.
He's probably referring to the campy comedy that was peppered throughout the others. Here? Honestly, yet to find a joke that was meant to be a joke outside of asking Ocelot about asses. "Boss, that's a donkey. It isn't domesticated, so you.. you'll have a hard time riding it." Mans speaks from experience methinks
Same Dawg, It was the first one I played. Then 2 years ago I played Snake Eater and Peace Walker, as well as a little bit of Sons of Liberty. Playing those games made me love The Phantom Pain even more. It's definetely in my top five favourite video games of all time.
I understand ALL the complains about MGSV - but STILL think than it´s one of the best and finest games overall of the it´s generation only because of it´s gameplay. It´s so smooth, it makes so much fun.... I can´t help myself, I just love it so much.
Remember the talk of David Hayter voicing snake was brought up during MGS 3 an like kojima said then the main character was a different person. Hayter had to re audition for the voice role back then. Figure what kojima said made sense. If the clone was supposed to have same sound of voice then liquid and solidus would have the same voice as well but they didn’t
They should have added the battle gear as a reward for getting S on every mission if it really was completed and just overpowered. If they've already finished every mission that requires balancing, let the player go nuts. Just disable it for multiplayer. Easy fix :(
On the cut guard dog thing, I’ve definitely heard from guards saying “smell something huh?” On occasion. Pretty sure that’s them talking to the dogs they’re meant to have
i was so down, jobless and pennyless during my birth day and i popped this game in and to my surpirse the game chanted happy birthday to snake. later i realized its a cutscene for the player and it really made my day.
I was having a blast in the gameplay but couldnt finish the game because i was having to repeat some missions to progress the game to end and that felt cheap as hell and uninspired. I totally agree with you, even not considering myself a Metal Gear connoisseur to the great extend, the story was not the greatest point of the game ...
Phantom Pain is hands down the greatest GAME ever created. Dont get me wrong I agree with most of the complaints but minus the plot twist etc..... I challenge anyone to tell me what game has better gameplay than MGS5 like 6 years after release?
Absolutely pathetic they wouldn’t let him get his award....grown adults with millions and millions of dollars acting like there in high school. MGS was my favorite game/story and I’ll never get more after phantom pain.
As a fan of the whole series I'll always have a bitter-sweet feeling about V. The gameplay, graphics and attention to detail was amazing and it's honestly the only game in the series with really good controls. But I just don't like both the plot of the story as well as the lackluster way it is told. It's a great game but still it always feels like it could have been even much more.
21) Did you know you don't have to necessarily return to Mother Base just to shower? Simply start the 1st Mission [Phantom Limbs] up, skip the cut-scenes, and then Abort Mission while you're on D-Horse, and voila! I guess it's because that mission acts like a Tutorial Mission and 'resets' the whole being too far progressed within the game...? Same tactic may work on the mission where you meet Ishmael, but I have not tried it yet, surprisingly. (How I discovered this) I started Phantom Limbs - whilst covered in flies - so I could farm for Mist Parasites (it's quicker than 'Where Do The Bees Sleep?').
There is to this date June 2021, NO METAL GEAR SOLID 5. IT DOES NOT EXIST. The V DOES NOT STAND FOR 5. It stands for VENOM as in VENOM SNAKE, the character that YOU PLAY AS. Hence why they kept repeating V HAS COME TO.
I've got a weird relationship with this game, I'm ok with it when my plans work out but it happened way to often that a tiny slip up caused everything to go to hell
@@justcallmee9795 no I'm talking about the hole game, if you play the mg saga even snakes revenge you should know that phantom pain its not a mgs game at all
Honestly i think hideo for sure planned changing snakes actor due to the identity reveal at the end and hopefully david haytor was made aware of this and the fact that there was only 22 mins of lines anyway
The mgs series is complete, the only thing this game was missing was optional co op with friendly fire on for role play pvp, *raidens suit should have been cyborg ninja with some powers and a sword* and the last unlockable should have been *playing as quiet with her incredible locomotion and powers* Other than wanting those things, this game is a legendary work of art. It felt so good riding in that plane, setting up weapons, seeing quiet do different things based on companionship, then dropping down playing some music and doing recon then stealth non lethal taking out enemies to reach a goal with the option of killing that made you grow a Horn and stay covered in blood. Literally one of the greatest games ever made and it has that special mgs feel to it.
@@alastorcorvus that's where they messed up. To keep it consistent they would have had to pay both David and Sutherland. MGSV you are not a clone or anything; your the medic from the crash lol
@@tinfoilhat1619 not really, Kojima wanted a different approach to the character, not solely to foreshadow that he's a different snake. The thing is, people's voice change as they get older, and Big Boss is around 50 yo in this game, and he was voiced by another older actor in MGS4. And you know, the real foreshadowing was that the Medic in Ground Zeroes was voice by Sutherland too. So it can be both.
Played the game once, beat it about 95%. No desire to ever go back. Konami was so willing to throw Kojima off the roof, so I’m more than willing to never touch anything with their name on it again.
Its true i was a bit disappointed with them not hiring David Hayter again. (its not just him, almost the whole cast is gone, i think they only kept the guy that did the voice for Huey/Otacon and thats it) But i think Sutherland did a great job regardless. I ended up not even thinking about it after a while.
I always thought it had the coolest and most intuitive movement system in a stealth game. When back here after playing Helldivers 2 because the game character movement is very similar to MGS5.
I do need to go back and finish it. BTW, I actually liked the fact it was more focused on the gameplay and less so on cutscene exposition. I don't like having to wait for 30 minutes through a cutscene so I can PLAY THE GAME. Cut scenes for appropriate story progression and character development are one thing. But the massive Death Stranding ending was AWFUL.
A few things: I don't think fans missed lengthy cutscenes, they missed closure and explanation The game cost what it cost because a new game engine was made from scratch.
So here is another fun fact, you missed. The game is NOT CALLED Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, It is actually called... Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Now you say, V means 5 in Roman Numerals. However for the game's title V means "Venom". Metal Gear Solid V(enom): The Phantom Pain. Look for Kojima's Tweet on it...
I'm still playing it like a damn fiddle, so much diversity of gameplay, so much strategies, so many ways to take out an outpost, i love this game so much
The one thing I didn't like in this title is that we didn't have a CODEC. Very few explanations and banter between Snake and Mother Base. Game Devs should take heed...NEVER remove flavor from games.
I felt pretty depressed on my birthday a few years ago. That night, I got the urge to play a little mgsv. I almost cried grown man tears when I showed up to mother base for a surprise party hosted by Kojima.

The man who sold the world is my favorite Bowie song. So a cover being the opening song instead of “diamond dogs”still pretty damn good 💎🐕
22 minutes of dialogue. Are you counting the cassette tapes cause he talks quite often in those
There was more to having Kiefer Sutherland voice snake than just what was mentioned. It was for the fact that venom snake is a doppelganger not actually big boss or a clone like solid snake. It was meant to show the differences, kojima just couldn't tell people that when he was asked why Kiefer Sutherland is doing the role since it was answered before the game was released. A lot of "cut stuff " a lot of it wasn't kojima but was actually konami. Kojima had long scenes were actually planned but konami said no, all of the eli stuff was cut because of konami etc.
Believe it or not this is actually probably my favorite game of all time
I dont believe you. Probably playing us like a damn fiddle

This is one hell of a game, the perfect evolution for the MGS franchise IMO. Too bad the game is incomplete.
I cant help but still really enjoy the game even if theres that much wrong with it, i wish a remake was an option where it was made right but i think ill live lol its a game that plays like no other and when you become so familier with it, it just feels even more fun to play
This game's story is a true masterpiece, showing Kojima's evolution as a director...I mean, all other MGS games feel like cartoon/comics compared to PP's narrative...Too bad fanboys were lazy to listen to tapes and pay attention to details...
I loved how they did storytelling with the tapes on this game I could listen to them at my own pace in the aerial command center, fill in missing context etc.
Well, Peace Walker had way better story and really was way ahead of its time, considering it was 1.5gb game for PSP back in 2009. MGSV took so many from it.
You could not be more wrong. Mgs3s ending had an AMAZING and emotional story to it. None of them have felt like cartoons. At all. Each one hits hard. Especially MGS3.
He's probably referring to the campy comedy that was peppered throughout the others. Here? Honestly, yet to find a joke that was meant to be a joke outside of asking Ocelot about asses. "Boss, that's a donkey. It isn't domesticated, so you.. you'll have a hard time riding it." Mans speaks from experience methinks
One of the best games I’ve ever played in my life .
Anyone else catch yong yeah interviewing the voice actors? Way to go yong !
The story isn't finished but the gameplay may be one of thebezt in any game
This is and will always be my favorite MG game and I lovely every bit about it!
Same Dawg, It was the first one I played. Then 2 years ago I played Snake Eater and Peace Walker, as well as a little bit of Sons of Liberty. Playing those games made me love The Phantom Pain even more. It's definetely in my top five favourite video games of all time.
Same here emps
@@Definitly-not-Omegon GG!
One of the best games ever made.
I understand ALL the complains about MGSV - but STILL think than it´s one of the best and finest games overall of the it´s generation only because of it´s gameplay. It´s so smooth, it makes so much fun.... I can´t help myself, I just love it so much.
Remember the talk of David Hayter voicing snake was brought up during MGS 3 an like kojima said then the main character was a different person. Hayter had to re audition for the voice role back then. Figure what kojima said made sense. If the clone was supposed to have same sound of voice then liquid and solidus would have the same voice as well but they didn’t
They should have added the battle gear as a reward for getting S on every mission if it really was completed and just overpowered. If they've already finished every mission that requires balancing, let the player go nuts. Just disable it for multiplayer. Easy fix :(
Even with the drama of the production of the game, it has aged well. Just reinstalled and having a blast
Fools still think this game is incomplete.
@@brkenppt2222 there was one mission cut, and it was cut for good reason, it was redundant. There is no missing chapter.
Still play it daily. Mainly FOBs, side ops, building a better army, etc. Platinum'd it awhile back.
On the cut guard dog thing, I’ve definitely heard from guards saying “smell something huh?” On occasion. Pretty sure that’s them talking to the dogs they’re meant to have
"To the out rage of some players, killing the kids results in a game over"
i was so down, jobless and pennyless during my birth day and i popped this game in and to my surpirse the game chanted happy birthday to snake. later i realized its a cutscene for the player and it really made my day.
Jeez, same story here just a couple of years ago
5 years and still better than Modern day Watch Dogs.
And still better than Metal gear solid two in my opinion
Bruh getting the ultimate edition for 6$ on xbox may be one of the best gaming deals ive ever gotten
I’m still salty about how bad the story is told and how it feels like half a game
You aren't wrong.
I was having a blast in the gameplay but couldnt finish the game because i was having to repeat some missions to progress the game to end and that felt cheap as hell and uninspired. I totally agree with you, even not considering myself a Metal Gear connoisseur to the great extend, the story was not the greatest point of the game ...
Therefore you experienced the "Phantom pain" exactly what Kojima was trying to portray
@@JohnOven I guess heheh
That's because it was originally supposed to have a chapter 3 and more mechanics but Konami rushed it out of the door
Phantom Pain is hands down the greatest GAME ever created. Dont get me wrong I agree with most of the complaints but minus the plot twist etc..... I challenge anyone to tell me what game has better gameplay than MGS5 like 6 years after release?
Absolutely pathetic they wouldn’t let him get his award....grown adults with millions and millions of dollars acting like there in high school. MGS was my favorite game/story and I’ll never get more after phantom pain.
It's been 9 years....
As a fan of the whole series I'll always have a bitter-sweet feeling about V. The gameplay, graphics and attention to detail was amazing and it's honestly the only game in the series with really good controls. But I just don't like both the plot of the story as well as the lackluster way it is told. It's a great game but still it always feels like it could have been even much more.
21) Did you know you don't have to necessarily return to Mother Base just to shower? Simply start the 1st Mission [Phantom Limbs] up, skip the cut-scenes, and then Abort Mission while you're on D-Horse, and voila! I guess it's because that mission acts like a Tutorial Mission and 'resets' the whole being too far progressed within the game...? Same tactic may work on the mission where you meet Ishmael, but I have not tried it yet, surprisingly.
(How I discovered this)
I started Phantom Limbs - whilst covered in flies - so I could farm for Mist Parasites (it's quicker than 'Where Do The Bees Sleep?').
There is to this date June 2021, NO METAL GEAR SOLID 5. IT DOES NOT EXIST. The V DOES NOT STAND FOR 5. It stands for VENOM as in VENOM SNAKE, the character that YOU PLAY AS. Hence why they kept repeating V HAS COME TO.
Still playing it to this day.
Still one the absolute greatest games I've ever played. After 100% completion years ago, I still play it to this day.
I've got a weird relationship with this game, I'm ok with it when my plans work out but it happened way to often that a tiny slip up caused everything to go to hell
I hope that the game get ready soon, i been playing the beta game for the last 5 years
What
@@justcallmee9795 you don't know what a beta is?
@@Saddonghussein this game is finished. Oh You're talking about the story.
@@justcallmee9795 no I'm talking about the hole game, if you play the mg saga even snakes revenge you should know that phantom pain its not a mgs game at all
@@Saddonghussein So it's not a real sequel in your opinion?
Honestly i think hideo for sure planned changing snakes actor due to the identity reveal at the end and hopefully david haytor was made aware of this and the fact that there was only 22 mins of lines anyway
The mgs series is complete, the only thing this game was missing was optional co op with friendly fire on for role play pvp, *raidens suit should have been cyborg ninja with some powers and a sword* and the last unlockable should have been *playing as quiet with her incredible locomotion and powers*
Other than wanting those things, this game is a legendary work of art.
It felt so good riding in that plane, setting up weapons, seeing quiet do different things based on companionship, then dropping down playing some music and doing recon then stealth non lethal taking out enemies to reach a goal with the option of killing that made you grow a Horn and stay covered in blood.
Literally one of the greatest games ever made and it has that special mgs feel to it.
⭐️ the surprise birthday party for me in outer heaven kinda blew my mind yesterday... 🤯
Big medic.
It's not boss or snake, that's why he's voiced by someone else..
Except that the original Big Boss is also voiced by Sutherland in this game.
@@alastorcorvus that's where they messed up. To keep it consistent they would have had to pay both David and Sutherland. MGSV you are not a clone or anything; your the medic from the crash lol
@@tinfoilhat1619 not really, Kojima wanted a different approach to the character, not solely to foreshadow that he's a different snake.
The thing is, people's voice change as they get older, and Big Boss is around 50 yo in this game, and he was voiced by another older actor in MGS4.
And you know, the real foreshadowing was that the Medic in Ground Zeroes was voice by Sutherland too.
So it can be both.
@@alastorcorvus cool.
Played the game once, beat it about 95%. No desire to ever go back. Konami was so willing to throw Kojima off the roof, so I’m more than willing to never touch anything with their name on it again.
The impending separation was the thing that ruined something great, because konami sucks
Its true i was a bit disappointed with them not hiring David Hayter again. (its not just him, almost the whole cast is gone, i think they only kept the guy that did the voice for Huey/Otacon and thats it) But i think Sutherland did a great job regardless. I ended up not even thinking about it after a while.
If the game would have been finished in it's entirety I'm pretty sure this could have been considered game of the decade
My 3 favorite games of the last decade Bloodborne, MGSV and Mario Odyssey
I literally just bought this again last night on my PC. Had fun on ps4
Well i know one thing about the phantom pain and that is the best game i ever played. I pray to god they make a part 6 someday.
Guards also make a dog reference in game. "Hear something? boy."
Donna Burke also is the voice-over of the Japanese Bullet Train or Shinkansen
the game is an absolute beauty have 300 hours on xbox and working on the 2nd play thru on pc with 120 hours only on mission 23.
Had the game lying on the shelf for some years and only installed it recently. Wish I had done it right away after buying it. Good game
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
You feel it too, don't you? The phantom pain.
I always thought it had the coolest and most intuitive movement system in a stealth game. When back here after playing Helldivers 2 because the game character movement is very similar to MGS5.
I got Metal Gear 5 but haven't played any other MG game. Advice? Can I get a "what you need to know before playing" video?
This game is set before any numbered entry
@@yungboogaloo nah, MGS 3 is set before any other one in the series
When I finally got over the heart break that was MGS5, you had to bring it right back.
I do need to go back and finish it. BTW, I actually liked the fact it was more focused on the gameplay and less so on cutscene exposition. I don't like having to wait for 30 minutes through a cutscene so I can PLAY THE GAME. Cut scenes for appropriate story progression and character development are one thing. But the massive Death Stranding ending was AWFUL.
That’s why i couldn’t enjoy the previous metal gear games like i wanted LONG ASS UNINTERESTING CUTSCENES
A few things:
I don't think fans missed lengthy cutscenes, they missed closure and explanation
The game cost what it cost because a new game engine was made from scratch.
Just bought the game and am enjoying it.
Beat facts.
So here is another fun fact, you missed. The game is NOT CALLED Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, It is actually called... Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Now you say, V means 5 in Roman Numerals. However for the game's title V means "Venom".
Metal Gear Solid V(enom): The Phantom Pain. Look for Kojima's Tweet on it...
I just started playing this game again and you guys make a video about it
I love how the first one is already wrong. Sutherland is nit Big Boss but Venom Snake
I was wondering why the battle gear kept telling me to go to the hanger and nothing would happen it confused me until now lol
Was just about to go to bed then this popped up
Man I wanted to use the Battle Gear and the Metal Gear when I had it
I just realized, Keifer looked like Liquid Snake in the Lost Boys 😅😅
I'm still playing it like a damn fiddle, so much diversity of gameplay, so much strategies, so many ways to take out an outpost, i love this game so much
hey did you know the main theme from mgrr is sampled within the mgsv soundtrack called truth
What about a complete game huh!?
Btw love mgs 🔥
I cannot describe how freaking awesome this game is..
Sometimes in the subtitles guards will say "what is it boy?" When they hear a noise I made on accident
The masterpiece that was never finished.
Was a great game… wish it got a huge revamp for ps5
The fact all this time has passed and all the money this game made with Kojima and Konami not rekindling business is disheartening
I'm still playing till this day, my FOBs are Savage
Challenge accepted. You on PSN?
The one thing I didn't like in this title is that we didn't have a CODEC. Very few explanations and banter between Snake and Mother Base. Game Devs should take heed...NEVER remove flavor from games.
I wish eli was a buddy imagine sending him to solo outposts on his own.
