I have invested 80 hours in this game since launch, and I haven't not experienced one crash, glitch, or bug...
Good for you but you dont represent everyone there's been many reports of bugs in the game the one I've gotten is the frame rate drop shit gets annoying when your trying to be stealthy
Yea, I understand that others may have had issues with glitches and freezing, but I too have put close to 50 hours and never experienced a freeze or any glitch of any kind.
I don't say this as a brag or something, I just want people who are interested in buying this game to know that it is not as common an issue as this video would lead you to believe...
+Daniel Faliszewski Same here. I feel like I picked up the cleanest copy of the game.
+Daniel Faliszewski If you want to get a crash play the mission "Traitor's Caravan", deploy with an ZHUK IFV and start knowing down electricity poles on by one by speeding through them. The game crashed many times for me when I did this.
+Tyler Thompson what platform are you playing on
You had me with the intelligent A.I, thats always a important facet to me. If the enemies are dumb or have tunnel vision, it kinda ruins the immersion and skill factor, because you're just exploiting the limitations. Too bad about the open world aspect kinda being pointless. It would have been better to just build massive sandboxes of different locations.
+TheDalinkwent You probably won't reply, but the AI is literally the difficulty scale. As you do more headshots, more helmets will appear, more kills? Body armor starts to appear. Sneak during night a lot? NVGs will be more popular.
shady1237 That kicks ass. It forces you to try different approaches to have a better grasp of all of the mechanics. Many times gamers find a strategy or exploit and stick to it.
TheDalinkwent Yeah. I remember a yotuber bitching on how the game was "too easy" but most likely used his motherbase team to reduce the difficulty. Another thing you can do as well, unless you want it to be harder.
+TheDalinkwent
Well you can disable reflex, target markings and all those aids, to make the game unforgiving. You will be constantly on the edge, and strategists will always be the ones to succeed.
Also, if you have a clear strategy in mind, then you are always gonna get stuck. The true stealth master adapts to the environment.
Lol I don't know why he said that the ai is great because I found the enemy's dumb as rocks easy to kill
Liking the review so far. I love how deep your knowledge is of the industry. Great channel all around
agreed. this is why I love to watch his review.
aren't you the guy who reviewed the Kim Possible movie?
not enough story and structure for me. Im not a fan of PeaceWalker, I prefer the Standard Metal Gear Solid format. Sneaking Through Facilities, cutscenes,crazy boss battles, more crazy cutscenes.
I still love MGS5 and think its a great entry....but I, like you, do prefer the old format with less roaming and more structure.
the narrative does somewhat take a back seat in this case...
+Caroline Gibson back seat? they put duct tape on its mouth and stuffed it in the trunk!
+Damion Lawson agreed
+Damion Lawson right on!!!!
I thought Troy Baker as Ocelot is fantastic. Like, I can easily hear both his young self and his MGS1 self developing out of it.
+Dan M its good voice acting for troy baker but the way he delivers feels boring a dull (at least for me) snake a Kaz were propbaly the best at their performance they were alive with enthusiasm.
+Dan M To be fair most characters in the MGS series come off with Anime Vibes. so sutherland was a really nice change of pace. But seriously, listen to ANY MGS voice acting and they all come off as very anime. And like someone said it's really good voice acting because it really sounds like the transition into when Ocelot is in games like MGS1 and 2. Came off really well in my opinion.
+Tom Maxey (Solidcrock013) I think the problem is more with the writing than the voice. Ocelot is pretty well-written in this game, he's just written completely differently than the crazy wildcard we're used to. I think he would've been much better as a whole new character instead.
+Erik Brown yeah sure he's a different character in this game but more or likely in some moments of the game his voice sounds boring a dull (propably through radio calls) besides the way he was written as a character as well but what can I say * huge spoilers for others*, he isn't talking to the real big boss (phantom medic) so he might interact differently since he's using him to help the real big boss make outer heaven deep undercover and also how he shows a fond relationship with naked snake during the last 2 decades.
+Erik Brown Are you the mo-cap actor of Venom Snake?
That Steve Hawking joke aged about as well as Stephen Hawking.
I haven't had nearly the amount of problems you've had with this game :/
+Nison545 Thats the very nature of bugs
AngryCentaurGaming That's a good point.
+AngryCentaurGaming If you hate stealth and have never played a MGS game should you even attempt this game?
+pollenontheshoot definitely they've streamlined alot of the thinga in the game to make it appeal to a more mainstream audience or people who don't play stealth but older fans will feel scarrd, betrayed and utterly dissapointed with what they got because in their eyes its incomplete.
Tom Maxey I actually played this and thought it was ok. But it got boring quick and since I have 0 attachment to the story being a MGS newb, I just stopped playing it. Thanks Redbox!
I've literally never had a glitch, and I get perfect 60fps on the highest settings on a lower end pc.
As a fan of MGS series, I admit that the world is a little empty and small,
but for me it kept me connected to the game because of the awesome gameplay mechanics, and the badass bigboss and his army.
I really found it one of the best games of all time.
snake eater was so damn fun it actually made me feel like a real soldier. survival systems, jungle setting , camouflage system. none of it was in this game.
Another great review by ACG love the buy, wait rent, never touch format. More informative than a simple " out of 10 " rating. Will be picking this up soon.
thanks!
For me, this is easily the best stealth game I've ever played (I've played every other metal gear, every splinter cell, every hitman, every deus ex, every thief, and Death To Spies 2).
I don't really see the complaint about the open world--the game is in soviet occupied Afghanistan, I didn't really expect a lot to be going on aside from soldier patrols and random animals.
I also haven't experienced a single crash, so I'm lucky there.
The game is very challenging if you're going for perfect stealth S-ranks...
I haven't seen any bugs like the floating animals or clipping mentioned here. I downloaded from The PS Store so maybe that's why? Idk but the game has functioned flawlessly for me. This is a 10/10 game for me.
You also neglect to mention how the AI adapts to your tactics when you return to a base you've already been to...
+Christian Campbell Who is this message to? If your talking about me I already stated how good I thought the AI was in various ways which is all encompassing including how it needs to be applauded.
+AngryCentaurGaming
I was just adding to my first point.
I know you mentioned how good the AI was but when you critiqued going back to a base you emptied, you didn't mention how returning to those bases presented new challenges like helments and NVGs on enemy soldiers.
I liked your review but I was surprised at the omission of that, in my estimation, important fact.
+Christian Campbell each to their own
+Dan M hahahahahaha, i saw one post on steam he just teleport right next to the mission object when he enter the area, the bleeding enemy just die when i kick him, and some lag, funny bugs thou, except lag
The emptiness of the world didn't really bother me because unlike most open world games, the purpose of this open world is not to give you a world to explore or massive amounts of markers to chase on the map. The purpose is to give the player a massive amount of tactical freedom.
Also, returning to ACC from the pause menu technically means fultoning yourself. You can sometimes even hear a fulton sound when you do that.
I disagree with pretty much all of your negatives and you're usually spot on for me. 50 hours in and the game has never crashed on my PS4, constant 60 fps, the textures on the enemies look fantastic, the open world is perfectly designed for tactical stealth gameplay plus there are always side ops to do. You can tackle the side ops in a variety of different stealth tactics so it is never repetitive. Troy baker is awesome, Afghanistan doesn't feel empty, it feels like a soviet controlled desert with expertly designed, tactical outposts for you to take down in a variety of ways...like it's supposed to feel. This is MGS, not GTA or Skyrim. Saying the open world is barren and boring is just missing the point of what the story and situation is. This is essentially a warzone, not a lush sprawling fantasy world or a busy, sprawling city with bank heists. This is open world stealth at its finest, Kojima's magnum opus and a 10/10 for me. But hey this is the only time I've disagreed with ACG.
He rated it a buy.
Stable 60fps on the ps4? Nah
bear in mind the textures that look fantastic for a ps4 are not the same as fantastic looking textures for others (pc users). He also did still rate it a buy, just not 10/10 as others have (honestly how does a game get 10/10. No game is perfect.
+Eren Jaeger and he has an opinion too no need to call him a fanboy douche
no he is a straight up fanboy he has rose colored glasses stuck on his head can't you read what he said? He called it kojimas magnum opus that alone tells you he let kojima go balls deep and refuses to slight the game at all.
I try and go in stealthy but ALWAYS fuck up lol,
+rick jin Gee Aye Enn I found this one to be the hardest when being caught on accident but a planned stealth worked
Same, and then it would send you back like 10-15 minutes with the lack of checkpoints.
It's MGSV: TPP. Not MGS PP. It's also Diamond Dogs. Not Dirty Dogs.
Sorry but I had to point that out lol.
+MisterHooboMaster Its ok. I am assuming you didn't see the video annotations.
+AngryCentaurGaming I did not. Sorry. My bad!
+MisterHooboMaster its not problem at all. Annotations dont seem to work for many
+AngryCentaurGaming It's my favorite franchise of all time. So I have to correct people lol.
So still. I'm sorry x)
+MisterHooboMaster bro I love your mgs fan made trailers
Thanks again for the honesty and integrity. It's always obvious you don't go into games with an agenda for your review, and you're actually someone who's a gamer so your content is always relevant. You're one of the only reviewers other than gameranx who I truly respect as a journalist (you're also not obnoxious and annoying), and I appreciate the depth and throughness in your show.
you bet
Disclaimer: I highly respect you and and value your opinion.
I get the impression that you didn't really "get" this game. This "open world" wasn't meant to be like GTA or something like that. The fact that it's barren is not a problem. The open world is just several bases connected by open areas and streets which are littered with small outposts. It's just there as a means to provide you with a place for tactical espionage and free infiltration.
Most problems you mentioned aren't a problem at all TO ME. The only thing I don't like is the fact that you cannot order your helicopter to pick you up, then fly you over to a different drop point on the same map.
Another problem is the lack of cutscenes and the cut content.
All in all, the game is absolutely stellar and one of the best I have ever played in my life. It could've been better though, and the story should've flowed better.
Btw, Big Boss never walked on a missile. That was Solid Snake in MGS1 The Twin Snakes, the MGS1 remake for the Gamecue which was totally hilarious because the cutscenes were so over the top. Snake never walked on a missile in the original, but in Twin Snakes he does a backflip on a flying missile.
+iWillWakeYouUp I rated the game a buy. So...then if I didn't get it...Is it not a buy. Are the things I liked not good and the things I dislike as here bad? Personally I think its just things lol
AngryCentaurGaming
I didn't mean it as negative criticism. You properly assessed the game, but I feel as if you expected something different.
iWillWakeYouUp
Actually the game was one of the closest titles to expectations I have had this year. It just wasn't as good as it could have been,
And no worries I didn't take it as such:)
AngryCentaurGaming
Oh, okay. Well then, everything's fine. It's all just opinions, and I like discussing games from different points of view.
Thanks for the replies, ACG.
Was waiting for your review on this game, wouldn't watch/read any others until i saw yours :)
A very solid and fair review. I would say this though; there is a way to fulton yourself directly back to mother base but the game doesn' really tell you. If you quickly jump in a vehicle or cargo can right after you slap on the fulton, you will get sent back to base. Additionally, if you discover the cargo delivery manifest document in any of the larger enemy bases, you can then use the bases as fast travel locations. Also, destroying enemy anti air radar will unlock new location options for helicopter pick up and drop off. These features help reduce boring trekking in the open world.
finally a review i can trust. i dont trust the big sites so its always good to hear a unbiased opinion
+XProjectHunterX thanks!
Son of Tiamat (formerly known as tiakpark) or a fanboy who has their head so far up konamis ass they will give it a good review on title alone lol
XProjectHunterX MGS! ERMYGAWD! BEST SERIES EVAH! BEAST GEAM EVAH! 12/10!!!
Son of Tiamat (formerly known as tiakpark) ya something like that lol
+Zach Arbogast Angryjoe is also paid, he was paid for the Witcher 3 review with a small cameo in the game and a trip to Poland.
One of my biggest gripes is the checkpoint system. I've completed all story objectives to then die by mistake searching for shit only to then have to do half the objectives again.
+1misanthropist uses autosave, its really hit or miss though.
+necropig well you died :D that's the minimum you go back to a checkpoint.. i manually restart my checkpoint just if i get spotted 'cause i wanna finish the mission full stealth. that's a real pain lol
+scubbasan ha I do that too :p My main example of this is the honeybee mission. Done all the objectives then I went looking for diamonds, found one in the big mountain with the holes in it but it was over a tiny gap, couldn't ledge grab it so I dove at it and fell to my death :( Had to do all the destroy tanks again and drop in c4 etc
necropig yea in that case it's pretty lame, happened to me during a sandstorm i horse-jumped into the dry river bed and died while chasing the last enemy.. but if we could manually save every time we advance, that would be way too easy for a stealth game! going back to a checkpoint you can also completely change the strategy if you want.
+scubbasan yea i literally had to checkpoint there to retry to fight some skulls. Though I snuck by them all and fulton'd the truck :3
Quiet is great, angry never mentioned her in his review.
Good review! Is it a stretch to draw a slight comparison to Destiny minus the "shared world" aspect when it comes to missions? That is the feeling I'm getting.
i remember when the game come out
everyone was praising it
it was 96 positive on steam
and now that people finished the game they see how repetitive and empty this game is
and now its like 88 positive on steam and will fall more
good review man
+Alex DeadMan and 88 is bad in what universe?
The sheer grind of the side missions killed the game for me. I had to tap out at around 70 hours. Gameplay just got way too repetitive, and I have no issue with long games. MGSV made me walk away disappointed.
toolshedvideo yeah totally get you. Only MGS game I got bored with & now I can't stand it, any time I think about it. The gameplay was awesome but the repetitiveness of mission structure & the sparseness of the story killed it for me. Also, structure of the game was terrible, the decision to have Snake mute was baffling considering the got Keifer Sutherland to be the voice, why did they bother? I know there's the cassette tapes but to not say ANYTHING in cutscenes when you're the revered leader of the group was just confusing. Not enough Skull Face he could have been interesting. Just reminded me, structure - best mission of the game WAS No 30, why? You actually stealthily infiltrated a fortress, that's why! It's what MGS games were all about. I've ranted enough. Sorry. I gave up after 120hrs, gt stuck trying to save Quiet. I felt relieved to stop & do something else lol. *breathe out*
I haven't had any crashing issues on my PC.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the second half of the game. I don't think the review really addressed it, and I'm curious what you think about chapter 2. Did you feel the latter half of the game took a dive in quality, and, if so, did if affect your impression of the overall story or crimp the fun factor of the game? Just curious.
You can technically Fulton yourself, but you have to upgrade your Fulton to allow the extraction of shipping containers. You have to hop on top, Fulton the container, and then hold triangle (on PS4, don’t know what it is on other platforms).
A bit late but you are not supposed to play the game like that..yes you can go guns blazin but its much better to do stealth (also much more challanging).
The point you said about the enemy alert stages taking long can be medigated with the phantom cigar.
As far as extracting yourself, you can Fulton a vehicle with you inside and or Fulton a container with you on top. Both send you flying back to motherbase. As far as exfiltrating the hot zones, you really only have to run away a short distance. I personally don't find difficulty or frustration in leaving or traveling. It takes experience.
Bugs, I've experienced two. One was a soldier levitating, the other was a silencer levitating. No audio bugs. I think this is all going to apply to the individual. I too feel the AI faces were a bit weird at times when scoping them during reflex mode but it didn't bother me much.
As for the open world with nothing to do, there are story elements which explain the absence of civilization and one obvious reason would be a potentially world dominating organization like Cipher lining the pockets of both the Soviet and African forces. Everything has either been destroyed or occupied. People were all harvested for the parasitic objective, so, yeah.
I also found the mission versatility in every way more than enough to compensate for the repetitive nature of deployment. The AI is far too smart to allow one to simply approach any mission the same way too often.
As for fun, its an overload. I'm roughly 150 hours in, mission 33, 82/157 side-ops, 50% complete. This game has completely stolen the show for me until Fallout 4 comes out. Far better visually and technically than The Witcher 3 which I see as being its only competition. GOTY at least by some standards. If not I'll be extremely surprised.
+Alan Clusan Thats extracting a vehicle. I am talking about the oddity of not being able to extract yourself. As in a skill like everything else.
+AngryCentaurGaming
I think the fulton thing is fine for everything else. As for yourself, I think it might take away from the challenge. It's almost too easy to use the balloon in almost all cases. That's probably why you have to either completely vacate a hot zone and or escape to an LZ. Just my thought is all.
*****
could be. It just isn't backed up by the fiction so it seems so odd. But thats life. Just very noticable
+AngryCentaurGaming
I get it. And it is a sensible point to touch on whilst reviewing the game considering that the Fulton extraction is such an important aspect. You should be able to extract yourself, maybe with an added element of challenge. Like a countdown of sorts while enemy combatants bombard you. That might be a really cool detail.
+Alan Clusan Having story elements explain why the game world is empty feels like a cop-out. The game took years to make, and they couldn't come up with a use for their open world besides collecting plants, animals, and diamonds? If there is nobody left to fight, why defend the bases at all? This is a warzone after all, so where's the war? Konami made an excellent AI that could've been put to use with open conflicts that you could encounter and actual base activity that involves more than one truck arriving, two soldiers getting out, getting back in, and one truck leaving. It's such a waste.
Your videos are awesome! Great criticisms and positive notes! I think my favorite MGS was Snake Eater but I did thoroughly enjoy MGS V.
do the mentioned technical issues also apply to the pc edition?
and how does the game control with mouse keyboard? would you say a controller is a must?
great in depth spoiler free review, as always.
+Bilderberg Alexander I can't speak for anyone but myself, but after 12 hours with the PC version I haven't had any issues. I'm playing with a controller myself, so I can't comment on that side of it. I've seen videos online where people have used mouse and keyboard without complaining, though.
+Bilderberg Alexander I played GZ with k+m and it was ok but the game didn't take advantages of k+m so I think same will happen to TPP.
An unbiased, trustworthy review. Thank you!
Let me guess. You didn't bother showing up to Konamis little review event concentration camp, and decided to do your own thing, with the sacrifice of putting out a late review, huh? Smart move, in the long run. (Unlike some major review outlets. *EHEMIGNGAMESPOTEHEM*)
+mikhail antonio THanks!
I only get to 15 mission and i passed. This whole story felt like a side quest and the gameplay wasnt fun either with everything locked behing walls of building mother base. Probably one of the most repetetive games i have ever played. I just watched cutscenes instead on yt. Way more interestnig
sorry for comment spamming but one last question: did you play peace walker or portable ops/your thoughts on it/them? this looks like the next gen version of them
Question... should I get MGSV, the witcher 3, or dishonored... I kinda want something to play before fallout 4.. someone let me know your thoughts if you have played both and/or why you didn't play some
thanks!
This is by far the most honest review of this game I have come across. EXCELLENT WORK!
thanks brother
It's not really honest. Didn't even bring up how incomplete and shit the plot is. SomeCallmeJohnny did better.
Crono fuck off m8
SomeCallmeJohnny didn't bring up any of those things in his review.
I really wanted to love this game, but in the end I couldn't get over the overwhelming repetitiveness of almost every aspect of the gameplay. That combined with the fact that you are often penalized for using lethal force despite hundreds of different machine guns, rocket launcher, pistols, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles available, made the entire world too restrictive for my tastes.
How are you under the impression that your punished for using lethel force? sure you get a very minute point deduction but that can easily be compensated for, in fact often times going in guns blazing with the chopper grabbing a prisoner throwing them onboard and murdering everyone else on your extract is the easiest way to get the S rank. The only "punishment" is that you can't staff your Mother Base with corpses but you can always find others to extract. I'm really confused how you could think your "punished" for using lethel force.
I get A's and S's when I go loud. Only aim for the head, do tactical take downs. I meticulously kill everyone and hunt everyone down and still get a good rating at the end of it all. Just dont get shot or restart the mission
It's rediculous how fogiving the game is sometimes but fun.
I agree. But the stealth is really good.
Same for me was just too repetitive . A little boring to me
Actually though, destroyed targets remain destroyed when you revisit those locations. So its in your best interest to sabotage as much as you can when you can. Saying that, trying for a perfect score on levels makes for a really difficult experience...
Do I need to know anything about past MGS games to play this? Because I haven't ever played a MGS game before, this will be my first.
"Enough many black holes to make Stephen Hawking turn in his grave... when he dies"
Stephen must be rolling now
Stephen was ALWAYS rolling
It is a great game.. Loving it so far.
+camlwatts awesome!
wow. i just came across your channel by accident. and i must say i am surprisingly happy by the way you do your reviews. complete unbiased. this is a sort of channel which i had been looking for which would give me an honest review that will help me to decide on the game to purchase or not. keep up the awesome work sir. i am hooked to your channel for eternity.
Thanks Sankar
Pleasure is all mine sir..
Great review as usual :) I totally agree with you as to the repetitive nature of the way missions were implemented was the one thing that was a bit annoying, but beside that, great game. Still, MSG3 remains my favourite from the series.
Outstanding review. Ive watched a number of your reviews this year, and each one I have valued more than other outlets such as IGN. Balanced, unbiased, and not afraid to highlight the large flaws in these so called "blockbuster masterpieces" according to other reviewers.
Think I will give this game a miss, with a world this large, I would personally rather a better story/more interactive world.
Thanks for the review
Good work, subscribed.
+Matthew Armitage I appreciate that and am glad they are useful to you man! Spread the word if you can
Bugger steven hawkings may be turning over in his grave 😓😭
So, should I buy this or Mass Effect Andromeda? Considering that the second is on sale now, but still at the same price.
This and Witcher 3 for GMoTY but which one is top dog ? I can't decide. I think Witcher 3 edges it slightly because like the reviewer said there is a lot of time spent just riding the D Horse for a LONG time between missions.
I have to say that I feel like the "barrenness" of the world is to be expected. People nowadays want a bijillion side activities and quests when they hear "open world" but the way the open world in MGS V is set up makes sense. EVERYTHING you do goes back to motherbase. Every objective, side mission, outpost raid all benefits motherbase which in turn benefits you. I loved that and it makes sense. This isn't an open world where you're supposed to go for a drink, play Gwent, or go bowling (uuuuggggggghhh fucking Roman). The way it's set up makes sense to me. Snake wouldn't be dicking around, he'd basically be going hard at it. The lack of too many side activities is a plus for me. They didn't waste time with useless activities. Everything you do helps progress the game and that is genius and something that a lot of open world games do not do well but MGS V nailed it.
There are over 150 repetitive side mission, what lack are you talking about ? It's too much
jalal ali people complain about the lack of activities beside side mission and missions. That's what I'm talking about.
+Dean444ful oh, well it's a different kind of open world. It doesn't have to follow every other open wold ever, especially when it's not exactly "open world" u know what I mean ?
jalal ali yeah, it's more of a tactical based open world so less side activities and goofing around is to be expected. I don't think it's perfect but for what it was trying to accomplish I do think it was pulled off pretty well.
I put a lot of time into this...but sorta regret it. If this wasnt called metal gear solid, i rly wonder how it wouldve been received.
Are those bugs absent from the PC version, or have I just gotten lucky? The only thing I've noticed is the audio issue, though to a lesser extent (trucks sometimes sound like they're right on top of me even when they're way off).
+Frode Hauge Well bugs are by nature present but they are bugs which means you may not always get them. which is great news
How much time did you spend with the PS4 version?
I've put in a good amount of hours on the PS4 and yet to see any major problems or crashes...hope it stays that way. I agree that Afghanistan is empty and barren but it's pretty accurate from what I remember when I was there in the Marines. The attention to detail in the world and near spot on military tactics sold me right off the bat.
+Dimitri yep agreed!
No you weren't
0:48 nice..
i finished all the side mission and zero ground but unable to get more mission on xbox one. tell me what i have to do to get more mission to play
ACG, did you play all three versions? If so, which one would you recommend the most? If the X1 version is almost just as good, I'd rather pick up a X1 version.
+Roby599 yes. XBOX is so close as to be almost not any different. a few less resolution lines and 1 or 2 special effects filters on people skins not used. Its fine
just finished this game. i agree with pretty much everything you just said lol. the repetitiveness was super irritating but weirdly enjoyable and the whole AC mission assignment mechanic with your military was cool. the story however was started off awesome and than it just blah. i dont want to mention spoilers in case anyone reads this but it feels like the story hit an epic MGS Climax and than suddenly took a shit. the whole credits before and after was so damn irritating as well. i love the game but i dont feel it should have got all the praises. idk i guess after the whole mgs 4 epic long cut scenes i got spoiled.
0:44 it happened in 3/14/2018. RIP Hawking
I've only experienced one bug in the form of a freeze when I was using my Idroid. Other than that its been smooth sailing. You hardly mentioned the awesome buddy system
Should I get the phantom pain or mad max I already have it on my 360 but that's at my mom's I also want a copy for my dads who has a xbox one
"Less P's on a massive box"
best game i've ever played. well...not. but close. 10/10. fucking loved it, and even though just beat it after 100 hours gameplay, i can't wait to play EVERY mission again! this game will never get old to me. perfect physics, AI intelligence is great, photorealism of rendering, yes, the landscapes can be a bit boring, but its REAL, and the game is amazing and works wonders!
exactly I love this game got the platinum after 190 game play hours loved it
Colin Weiss this game would probably be in my top 3 favorite games
Colin Weiss hey what's the best game you ever played?
Totally agree with you
hey what's your rig?
I love your reviews Sir. One quick respectful point please: you can fulton out of any mission area on top of a cargo container. You can also start most missions while in area of operations. That said, you are absolutely right about the awful mission structure design
true for sure man
Steve Hawkins just turned over in his grave
Part of me agrees that the open world is kind of sparse, but then part of me considers the notion that Hey This is Afghanistan! Even in real life there is next to nothing out there except soldiers and a bunch of random wildlife. So for me it passes. I dunno, maybe they could have included some civilians walking around like the traders in Fallout 3.
+ShogunOrta I think of me its all in a contained area, like no more than a couple miles with tons of soldiers in these little cramped sandbox areas but then NOTHING between them like, for the most part, they are terrified of the night, and open spaces, and sheep
I agree. I guess that's what I meant about the civilian traders. Maybe also have some random Russian patrols also. - I'm looking at you Modding community...
I think my one big problem with the sand box is that when the game was linear you had a much greater variety of locations to explore. I know this isn't MGS, but I've been playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and in that you go from New York to Hong Kong to all kinds of places. The only thing that openness brings to a covert espionage game is ability to choose my attack point. Which I do like. But I also miss the grandiose feeling of a game expanding over several exotic locations, which I guess a sandbox game could do, but it would be ridiculous to create. Maybe some kind of middle could be struck? Sandbox still, but smaller, and combined with a myriad of closed levels in differing locals. Eh, I dunno. I do like MGS 5, but I get what people mean by the change in game play.
Why are they talking about RMA Did the CPUs in one of the PCs at mother-base go bad?
I played MGS 1, 2 and Snake Eater (I played snake eater at 100% like 30 times) but I've never wanted to play MGS4 (aditionally, I've never played peace walker and Ground Zeroes), so my questions it's this: It is a *must buy* for me this new MGS5? Will I love it as much as Snake Eater? Or wil it be like MGS2? (which I played like two times for story sake).
***** thank you for taking the time to answering me"
+SpyengoEen This feels so much like Peace Walker 2 to me in many ways. Which is good cause I loved PW
+Francisco Arcos Honestly, Snake eater is one of my all time favorite games, not just out of Metal Gear. I am having a ton of fun with it. Honestly, I feel this isn't just amazing for a Metal Gear, it's one of the best games in the last few years. Highly recommended.
Why the wolf has an eye patch? For coolio effect or some other reason?
Thank you man, didn't know that.
+Nordish Ginger thats weird... i mean the artificial eyes, i freak myself out when at the helicopter...
Nano machines, son.
I am baffled as to how you consider the AI to be ''wonderful''.
I'm a newcomer to the franchise and I'm certainly not as invested in the story as a true/old fan, but I succumbed to the hype and bought the game. Been loving it so far, I must say. It's a rewarding experience if you put the effort and patience. Love the gameplay and the story! And as always great review dude!
I might be mistaken, but I don't think I heard you mention the buddy system. What did you think about that?
+Robert Koh I just mentioned it in the customization and right at the end section. Its ok but its almost impossible to talk about with spoiling anything other than the horse. So I left it out
+AngryCentaurGaming ah okay, well good on ya for considering every aspect of spoilers for your viewers!
This game is so repetitive and in my opinion overrated. It still is a good game but not a great game.
The witcher3 is better
Welther47 Agreed.
Adam Johnson completely disagree. I fucking love this game lmao

Interesting since Stephen Hawkings is now dead
How bout the enemies still sharing a hive mind after reflex mode ends, even if you took care of the alerted guy and no enemy shots were fired? Glitch??
I'm really enjoying this game so far. Picked both this and mad max up and love them both.
Bought it for 40 bucks on G2a... Its a good game 8.5/10 theirs just a meme to hate MGSV. Kojima was doomed you cant please everyone. He heard people hated two hour cut scenes so he listened to fans. Then the same Fans bitch!
I really love this game. a Solid 9/10!
almost 200hours on 2 different systems.
The only think i dont like, is most of part 2 just being do the same mission again, but harder. Im just "why?" just let me do the mission on a harder difficulty or something. But dont make them new, with the same cutchene and everything. And yes, the wait for the helicopter / no fast travel, is quite tidious.
And why do i need to see who starred in every dam mission ? Im finaly on the pc, where there a ALOT of great mods. One day, i want the game to be fuck me in the ass - hard. The nxt, i want it to be you cant touch me - easy.
Should I buy this or the witcher 3?
What I find really cool is that if you knock out an outpost's comms in a side-op, when you return in a story mission they won't be able to call for back-up (and vice-versa)...
If anyone likes this type of game and wants something similar I recommend the Mercenaries games, they are much bigger open worlds and have more uh....large scale tactical stuff like airstrikes and what not. But the basic flow is similar and even involves extracting a bunch of targets with a helicopter.
+Fangs of Yima Mercenaries was no doubt one of the absolute best games ive ever played. even on the ps2 it was fantastic, the second had room for improvements but maybe thats just my typical gamer knowledge of how every game is terrible because of one tiny aspect and we all take new games for granted and over hype about them.
just cause 3 would probably be the closest youll get
stephen hawking died today..
Grate review!
i already got the game from an Nvidia voucher, however its nice to see other peoples opinion
You can usually request a helicopter extraction to somewhere near your location if you take out the enemy's Anti Air dish. Hell some of the missions once you destroy that your Helo can literally land ON the mission location.
haha dirty dogs. I loved it however chapter 2 was some BS. Also it felt rushed past that point. Legends say theres a 3rd area.
Most of chapter 2 was just the same missions from chapter 1, except more difficult. Mission 51 (closure to Eli's story arc) was completely cut, and so was chapter 3. All we have left of chapter 3 is the bloody title card. I feel like Konazi rushed Kojima to reach the deadline.
I played all MGS but couldn't get into this...
i liked very much all mgs games except mgs4
Awesome and honest review. Did Konami provide you a review copy or did you have to purchase it? I read somewhere that all big gaming sites had to play in a location provided by Konami and lot of folks believe that tilted review scores towards higher side. I know Kojima is awesome game creator but that does not excuse game from its online woes.
+gamers galore I got it myself
Subbed after mad max review bought it today good luck with your channel growth!
+KhadgarsFinest thanks man
this is one of the better games ive ever played
That is essentially the problem with the industry these days, this seems better because 99% of everything else released is either a remake or a bland hand holding exercise. This on it's own is pretty poor, but seems better compared to the majority of the bilge released these days.
The witcher3 is better
Welther47 Not really comparable considering they're completely different genres but I agree Witcher 3 is excellent.
Juan King
No. Very comparable as they follow the same game structure. Snake could (and should) talk to people like Geralt does. Both as openworld gameplay with loads of sidequests
Welther47 imo they aren't comparable AT ALL. i tried to finish TW3, but i simply couldn't do it. the game is (imo) soooo boring.
this is probably not due to the game tho, but rather me: i love stealth games (dishonored, AC and so on) and i can't stand RPG's (execpt fallout 4, i
I'd rather have a so called "empty" open world than one filled with pointless filler and collectibles.
+Redjohn Kragle seeing and doing things are two different things bud. you can only be amazed by how the same rock you've passed 4 times looks pretty accurate to real life rocks for a little bit before you get bored and realize how repetitive the game rlly is.
+Redjohn Kragle The game as far as world structure is severely lacking, no two ways about it. The animals and environmental features is only a slight amazement for the first few hours. You can only be so amazed by the same Animal, rock, or piece of vegetation for a while until the amazement turns into a question of whether or not it was simple copy and paste. The world may be "open" but open for what? For the few select animals, guards and rock formations.
You cannot say you disagree on the hard crashes and then say you've encountered them. That's a contradictory statement. A hard crash is a hard crash and if they exist, then that is a serious problem, a problem regardless of whom you are find to be annoying and an immersion killer.
The game, however; is a great game, no questioning that but no game is perfect and this one isn't an exception and it definitely has a few flaws here and there, but the positives outweigh the negatives (depending on who you are). It's a buy, but I would say only a buy for those who have played previous MGS games.
+SpeCifiC0507 its a rural afghan evacuated warzone, what more do you want there than soldiers and wildlife ? Themeparks ? Aliens ?
+Wezzipooh there are collectables lol in the form of plants animals diamonds and resources
+Wezzipooh Amen!! The stealth action is what matters, not a bustling world (in the middle of a war zone lol) where NPC's with stupid errand boy quests lurk around every corner. I don't give a shit about any of that. This game delivers MGS gameplay in a way where you can tackle objectives anyways you want...what else do you want from a MGS game?? If your looking for a vibrant world your in the wrong game...Try looking for one that doesn't take place in a warzone and I'm sure you'll find all the pointless "go here, get this" gameplay that is the filler crutch for SO many open world games.
Besides the online the game has run great on my ps4, no crashes or slowdown, what are you playing on?
+Mr.E PS4, xbox one, PC
I just wanted to stop by and leave a huge thanks for this review. Been playing the game myself all month long and I've had a blast. Definitely agree with you on pros and cons of this title, though I've never had (knock on wood) any hard crashes on Ps4. Keep them reviews coming, my meng! :D
+Hey Meng you bet brother glad to see you back!
I think I'm gonna pass on this one.
Mkay
okay.
Not a fan of this, feel totally cold towards it
Nice honest review , I too am finding it annoying when I capture an outpost and when I return everybody is there again it just seems pointless. MGS on the PSone. Will always be my favourite even the upgraded Twin snakes is sweet.
+ian666uk Agreed and thanks
Good Review! I'm surprised you don't get more subscribers, you're honest, funny, and reliable.
+K Money Thanks Kmoney. Spread the word
+AngryCentaurGaming oh I will :)
The review I always wait for.
+Mantenner I hopefully you dont wait super long
HA,
Dirty dogs.
Lmao
Nope. lol
i cant find d-dog in mother base, is it supposed to be like this or is it a glitch, and if its not a glitch how long till i can use him
Did you rescue DD?
Tyler Moon i found him, it took a loong time to be used as a buddy
The stuff you mentioned about bugs seems quite odd. I completed the entire game on PS4 before the day one patch came out (shops around here sold them way earlier than they were supposed to) and the only bug I encountered was one where the D-Walker would occasionally float a few inches above the ground when rolling around the map. Maybe you just have a better eye for this kind of stuff than I do, but in my experience the game ran almost perfectly. I also did not experience a single crash, which I guess means I'm quite lucky :)
Anyway, great review as always, keep up the good work :D
+Roganjoshua Freeman They are bugs. NOt everyone will get them
+AngryCentaurGaming Yes, that is true. I just found it odd that you experienced quite a number of bugs in a game that from my experience seems quite stable. I may just have been lucky, or you may have been unlucky.
