Далее следует неплохая 1 часть, хоть и с кучей недостатков в виде кусков сюжета, которые ты пропустишь, если не будешь слушать кассеты. 2 часть откровенный провал, видно, что игру не доделали. В общем и целом сюжет то и неплохой, но его подача рваная, да и важные катсцены ты получаешь после 4 ч геймплея, который крайне однообразен, хоть и очень хорош. Если вот убрать все это дрочево побочек, разнообразить основные квесты, уволить левел дизайнера, потому что уровни для стелс-экшена сделаны очень плохо, мало того, что обходных путей почти нет, вокруг непроходимые горы, так еще и возле главного объекта на аванпосте по 5 противников стоит, прям в упор к объекту, в итоге по стелсу пройти просто нельзя некоторые задания из-за отвратного лвл дизайна. Механика развития базы, она ну.. просто существует, ты развиваешь главную базу, воруешь пулеметы и минометы для обороны просто так, данную механику можно было углубить и развить, а то и она ощущается недопиленной, на главной базе ты никуда не можешь зайти, кроме 1 комнаты в мед-центре. Было бы неплохо, если бы ввели какие-нибудь задания, которые ты бы выполнял вместе со своей армией.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before you read my review, note that I play a lot of stealth games and I only heard that Metal Gear Solid was supposed to be really good. So I downloaded it to see how it would play.

    At first I thought this game would play out to be super cool. When you wake up in a hospital bed and have to get knocked out what was it? Twice? Because you freaked out after coming out of a coma. We all saw it then the doctor got choked and an assassin got bathed in flames and jumped out of a window. I laughed at that. Characters on fire jumping out of windows thinking it would save them.

    But then you play the game a bit more, having to crawl around and eventually getting to stand up and you need to break from the hospital. I was sort of okay at this random psycho setting things on fire and the big fire dude walking toward you. After you see those soldiers get chopped up by that helicopter controlled by her you can't help but being like "WHAT THE F*** THAT HAPPENED" okay massive action. But you keep playing and the guy who spent 9 years watching you got killed like *that* and some random guy pops out of nowhere on a horse and says "hey I'm a friend get on my horse" then you see a GIANT WHALE ON FIRE THAT EATS A HELICOPTER OUT OF THE SKY??? Too much action to the point it was stupid. Like I had this guy on fire that was riding what I assume was a unicorn that was also on fire. It's action which is great, but in all the wrong places and it wasn't even funny after a point. You then never see those characters again for another 12 or so hours of gameplay.

    I would find that the gun play and interaction with the world is good and also having your own super massive "mother base" is also cool but that's probably about it. When it comes to managing this massive base of yours, you get almost no say in where each part is built, what it looks like, no instead it's all placed in some giant level with nothing more than an ocean plane in it. Sure you can change the colour, but you can't do much more than that. Collecting resources, particularly right at the start seems more like a chore rather than something that should be fun. Each part of the game is fun the first few times but then you notice how repetitive it becomes like certain missions in the same areas or collecting resources again and again.

    When you find out that the only thing that can extract those large shipping crates of essential raw material is locked behind a seemingly impossible research task it loses it's appeal. I only managed to find one transport specialist for the cargo Fulton, only to find out he must have been kicked from my organisation in a staff fight. Like I said, having a massive base is cool but it should not feel like a chore to manage. That's kind of the point of game design.

    I also find it frustrating how the game explains only certain things in a hint window accessible on the pause menu. You can't navigate to sections, only scroll one by one to each topic. And even then it does not explain everything. Like what these shipping crates are for or how you can get the helicopter to land closer by blowing up the radar boxes. You've got to discover the really important things yourself. And most of the time the game repeats the same f***ing hint again like what this plant does for some active ingredient for a drug I just made up on the spot. It's most of the time at random and the tutorials are off cue, if there are any.

    I'll end on a sort of weird note is that the stealth system is both stupid, funny and poorly designed. I love how I can hide in my box and lure an enemy over to it with the right combination of camouflage and distance only to knock them out. And if you ever find a power generator, turn it off. The stealth system dispatches the nearest enemy to check it out. And when they do, pop them in the head or Fulton them. Turn the generator on, wait a bit and turn it off again. Rinse and repeat and you can actually lure ALL of the enemies out of a highly fortified base to check out a generator. ;)

    Overall, I'd say this game is well designed in the parts it counts the most but some of the controls are a pain to use, especially when you're used to A to jump and X to interact from call of duty. This is the one game where the back and start buttons are swapped. And I hope it's not on purpose.
    The level design is great, but mostly empty therefore negating the need to explore the wilderness. Most of the resources you need are inside enemy bases which is disappointing.
    I particularly love the sound design and music cues which are point on, but in some areas overused but I think that's the point of this style of game.
    The textures I think are decent but nothing special. They put the world together nicely.
    The UI is reasonably responsive where it counts the most.

    Overall, I rate this game a 4/10. For my own curiosity I continue to play, but I think I'll stop soon for my own sanity due to it's repetitiveness    … Expand

    Firstly, i want to talk about the plot. It is just marvelous, It is greatly put in franchise, and it is amazing, it is hard to speak about it without spoilers.

    Secondly, the graphics and optimization of the game is fantastic. It worked on ultra on my old 750ti and looked good( yet, not as good as the Witcher 3, but yet, very impressing)

    Thirdly, the gameplay. I don't really know what to say about it. From one side, the stealth itself is done great. But the think that ruins it is an open world.

    Instead of doing closed quarters like there was in MGS 2 or Splinter Cell, Kojima decided to create an open world, and it is, as for me, a bad decision. This open world is just empty. Side quest are boring and there are almost NONE random events. There are just guardposts on the map, which is quite boring to clear. So yes, open world of the game is bad, and it makes me give the game 9.5/10.    … Expand

Have you ever wanted to drive your car around Afghanistan and explode a bunch of guys with a rocket launcher? You can do that. Want to build up your base? Go ahead. You can do stealth, base-building, resource collection, develop new items to use, etc. Personally, I like doing the numerous missions the game has to offer. They usually boil down to "extract this guy, or kill this guy" but really, that's fine. There is enough variety in types of missions, but the real variety comes from how many ways there are to approach the mission and the different environments they take place in. Your missions can be located anywhere from a highly secure Soviet fortress to a small guard outpost. The soundtrack for this game is quite good as well. I especially like "Sins of the Father" and "Nuclear." The variety of weapon types in this game doesn't hurt either. Everything from rocket launchers to pistols is usable. Really, the best thing about this game is how many ways there are to play it. Probably the best game I played in 2019.… Expand

The pacing is so slow that i had to rush through missions by blazing everything down. The thing is clear that if you want to craft a mindblowing thriller story, you would have to make it more linear. The prologue was an example of it. I felt like some side missions are given to me and that i need to complete a certain set of these to unlock a story mission and cinematics that progresses the story. DO NOT BUY IT if you are not a hardcore fan of stealth or Metal Gear games.
    There are some positives though.
    *The AI is brilliant that adapts to the situations realistically. Enemies try their best to hunt you down.
    *The story though half-fried is very well written. Expect horror elements.
    *I liked that you wont be punished for going against stealth unlike the Splinter Cell games. I completed nearly 15 missions rushing. I just went to a high position where i could get a good veiw of the mission area, took out my sniper rifle and gunned everyone down.    … Expand

    Simply the best stealth game. Story is very unique but also very intriguing. My first play through was without any contact with previous metal gear games. But it soaked me so damn well that I've decided to finish all those games. MgsV is a masterpiece. Everything about this game is so well polished... Except for the ending but it's only a Konami's fault.

    The game is fun at first but it’s monotoned and visually depressing after while. It’s extremely repetitive, literally some missions are just a more difficult repeat of earlier missions, and there is essentially no story line. The gameplay is flawless and it has potentially but it’s fatally botched as the game is clearly compromised by being incomplete.

    Düşmanı öldürmek zorunda olmayıp onları bayıltıp kaçırarak kendi ekibinize katmak oyuna bambaşka bir boyut katmış. Öldürmek çoğu zaman insan kaynağını israf etmek demek oluyor. Saldıracağınız grupta ihtiyacınız olan adamları belirleyip kaçırmak görevlerin içinde yeni küçük yan görevler eklemek anlamına geliyor.

    Hikaye ilk başta ilgi çekse de ortalarda çok karışıyor ama karantina mevzularından sonra toparlıyor. Karantina nedeniyle adamlarınızdan yararlanamamak da insana çok koyuyor. Tam düzeninizi oturttuğunuz esnada üssünüz darmadağın oluyor. Bir yerde üssünüzün bir kısmı düşman askerince ele geçirildiğinde de benzer bir şey olmuştu.

    Hikayenin genel olarak kaset kayıtları üzerinden sesle anlatılması tuhaf bir tercih olmuş. 10 dakika süren ses kaydı var. Gereksiz olmuş. Anlattığı şeyler karmaşıkmış gibi davranıyor ama değil. Doğaüstü şeylere açıklama getirmeye çalışıyor, e onu da yapamıyor. Death Stranding'deki gibi 10 saat ara sahne izlemek istemezdim ama bu daha da saçma olmuş. Ayrıca o ara sahnelerde alakalı alakasız her yerde giren ağır çekim efektleri neydi öyle. Ucuz aksiyon filmleri gibi.

    Yanınıza aldığınız ekip arkadaşınızın özellikleri ve teçhizatı da oynayışınızı oldukça değiştiriyor. Köpekle herkesin yerini kolayca belirleyebiliyorken, Quiet'a vereceğiniz emirle keskin nişancı tüfeği ile düşmanlarınızı avlatabiliyorsunuz.
    Düşmanların da zamanla gelişmesi ilginçti. Zamanla kask, zırh, güvenlik kamerası gibi ekipmanlar kazanıyorlar. Askerlerinize yaptıracağınız operasyonlarla bunlara erişmelerini bir müddet engelleyebiliyorsunuz.

    150 tane yan görev var. İlk başta yapıyordum ama bir yerden sonra çok tekrar etmeye başladı. Zaten oyunun ana görevleri de yan görev gibi. Bir yere gir, birini öldür veya kurtar. Çoğunun senaryo ve hikaye ile bağlantısı yok. Bir süre sonra sadece ana görevden devam ettim.
    Bölüm tasarımları ise oyunun en güçlü olduğu yönler(di). Görev yapacağınız kısımlara girmenin bin bir türlü yolu var ve dilediğiniz gibi oynayabiliyorsunuz.
    Buraya kadar söylediklerim oyunun ilk yarısı için geçerli. Sonrasında bazı karakterlerin hikayeleri devam etmiyor. Ama asıl skandal olansa ana görevler önceki yaptıklarımızı birebir ama çok daha zorlu şekilde tekrar etmeye dönüşüyor. Biraz ilerledim ama yeni görev gelmeyince bıraktım. Ara sahnelerle hikayenin geri kalanını ve gizli finali internetten izledim. Kojima-Konami kavgası beni çok da ilgilendirmiyor. Önüme gelen ürün bir yere kadar iyi ama sonrası yarım ve eksik. Cyberpunk'ın pc versiyonundan bile daha büyük kepazelik. Hadi hikaye yarım kaldı bari o tekrar görevleri eklemeseymiş ya da mecburi kılmasaymış. Ne anlamı ve amacı var hakikaten anlamadım.

    Genel olarak oyunu beğendim ama dediğim eksiklikleri ve fazlalıkları belki de başyapıt olmasını engellemiş.    … Expand

The story is kind of lacking and not that good, however the rest really makes up for the story. The missions are great and feel like an OG metal gear game, just with more creative freedom.

    It is an 8/10 game. It reminds me of death stranding. The controls, camera settings, and gunplay are inferior. My review may change in the future.

    + Stealth is great and fluid
    + A lot of toys to play with for those who like a sandbox
    + Technological marvel

    - LONG unskippable cutscenes aimed only at MGS nuts
    - Long intro sequence that ruins replayability
    - Weak and repetitive second half
    - All sections that aren't regular missions just don't work as they take away stealth mechanics to a degree or completely

    I love the story, the thrill of sneaky tactics, the depth of the characters, the beauty of the graphics and landscape and environment design, the feel of everything, the sense of family given with the base and of course most of all the role and interaction with the magnificently ambivalent and attractive character Quiet! I finished the game several months ago and I quite miss it. Well, well done!

    As someone who hasn't played a MGS game before, this was really entertaining. The gameplay is very diverse, there are so many ways you can play a mission, so replay value is very high. As for the unfinished story, Kojima was too ambitious I guess. There are incomplete cinematics and storyboards on YouTube of the mission where you have to retrieve the Sahelanthropus from the kids who stole it.

    The most braindead story I've ever seen, I don't understand a third of what's going on and a lot of the characters don't get explained, this is partially because of Konami being Konami and them being like "Cmon Hideo, we already gave you $2 to make this game, now you want 30 more cents to finish it?

    A Good Game With Some Lingering Issues

    I've been playing Metal Gear Solid since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, I'm not as old school as Metal Gear for the NES and I wasn't really old enough to play Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1 but I've been following the franchise since more or less 2004, so I know what to expect out of a Metal Gear game for the most part. Firstly, Metal Gear    A Good Game With Some Lingering Issues

    I've been playing Metal Gear Solid since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, I'm not as old school as Metal Gear for the NES and I wasn't really old enough to play Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1 but I've been following the franchise since more or less 2004, so I know what to expect out of a Metal Gear game for the most part.

    Firstly, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is probably the best third person stealth game currently on the market, in terms of stealth and I'm really stressing that word here. The AI is good enough so that if you're being stupid you'll get caught but if you're smart you'll definitely feel like you've earned it.

    The story takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, which was a strange little piece of a game where it was more or less a demo but acted more as a prologue to the story that is the Phantom Pain. Although overall the story is the same as what we've grown to expect. "Nukes Bad, Russia Bad, America kinda good but also bad." The story is good enough to keep you going but like most Kojima games, there are times where cutscenes take a bit too long and exposition becomes tedious.

    As said before, the stealth in this game is great, infiltrating bases and outposts and taking people out stealthily or just being a ghost is absolutely the best way to experience this game. It's one of the few stealth games you can play where it actually makes you feel like a proper commando.

    However the gunplay is also very tight, getting into shootouts is fun in this game, even though you might not want to be doing that; it's good that its satisfying and not clunky and weird like in previous installments. If you want to play the game guns-blazing, absolutely go for it.

    You have a base to manage to get upgrades, different pods as well, Intel can give you more intel as you're on the move, such as telling you where enemies are, R&D so you can make cool new weapons and gadgets to make things easier for situations, Medical Bay to help make tranq weapons as well as discharge your men from the sick bay earlier. It's a fun little mini game and luckily the game doesn't throw it all at you at once and introduces it bit by bit so that you're not overwhelmed. I feel this is definitely a positive as there are some games that just throw all their gimmicks and services at you right at the beginning and you find yourself ignoring them.

    The buddy system is great, for me, Quiet and D-Dog are absolutely the two best you can take, the best part about the buddy system is that unlike some stealth games, having someone with you doesn't mean they'll be seen if you move too quickly. Quiet (Sniper) tends to perch up way out of sight and D-Dog doesn't get seen at all when he's with you unless you're super close, but even then, the soldiers just treat him like a dog and tell him to shoo. Your stealth experience will absolutely not be hindered by taking a buddy. This is a massive bonus to bringing people along with you, more games should do it like this.

    A major criticism I have of the game is the ranking system per mission and there are a few reasons why. You get a higher rank the stealthier you are, that makes sense and that's totally fair but it does mean that if people want to go in guns blazing, they lose rank.

    Furthermore the stuff in the R&D development, for guns and other gadgets, all the really cool stuff is all Lethal weapons. There are so few choices for going non-lethal that it's absurd, it's at least 80:20 in favour of lethal. This means you'll end up using a similar loadout for most of the game. Don't get me wrong, I understand from a realistic standpoint Revolver Ocelots pistols should be lethal, but I feel every single gun in the game (Excluding maybe rocket launchers) should have a stun or tranq alternative. All the gun stuff means you need to go loud and lethal and thus, get a lower rank at the end of the mission.

    However it's not all bad in that sense, what I did discover is that rank for missions (Which I'd recommend getting an A or an S as you get rewards for doing so) only counts for actual story missions or "Episodes." So the way I had my gun was. If it's a story/episode mission, full stealth, I am Venom Snake, I am unseen and when I might get seen, I take them down slowly and put them to sleep. If it's a side mission? Use all your fun stuff. You're not ranked on a side op, so just go in with all the stuff you want to use, the revolvers, the light machine guns, the rocket launchers, the assault rifles. It's definitely the best way to make use of the lack of tranq and stun weapons if you're wanting to use lethal weapons.

    7/10, enjoyed the stealth aspects and story but wouldn't play it more than once, and in all honesty I'd probably tell someone to play Snake Eater instead.    … Expand

    Metal Gear Solid V is amazing at times, and I enjoyed playing it, but there are so many embarrassing blunders and contradictions. Rich tactical gameplay vs an almost dead world. Fun HQ management and interesting characters vs an unfinished narrative and boring side quests. In some regards, this is a huge step back from previous Metal Gear games.
