    Es genial, aunque el final se siente incompleto

    Pros
    -Permite afrontar de muchas formas cada misión
    -Gran variedad de armas para cada gusto
    -Los compañeros pueden agregar mucha variedad a las misiones

    Contras
    -Puede ser muy repetitivo
    -Llega a ser tedioso que ir de un extremo del mapa al otro
    -El multijugador es algo confuso al principio

    Simply put, the gameplay of this game is near perfect. The amount of freedom this game gives you to conduct infiltration is just mind-boggling and it's so damn easy to be stuck doing the same thing over and over because you are scared to try something new.

    The astounding variety of equipment you can develop (weapons ranging from AR to tranq guns, rocket launchers, snake's mechanical arm, buddy equipment), the buddies you use, as well as your own planning and ingenuity can make each infiltration feel so fresh and exhilarating. I'm around 90 hours into the game and it hasn't gotten boring yet.
    This has got to be some of the best gameplay games can offer you to this day. Kojima knocked it out of the park with this one.

    However, the world itself is quite disappointing. Often times, it feels barren and empty. With nothing else in between each outpost and base. Traversal wasn't the best too, often times infuriating, and if you forgot to drop into the game world without D-horse or a vehicle, have fun just running for 10 minutes straight to your mission objective.

    The story however, was a drastic step down from its predecessors. In fact, I still struggle to cohesively critique it due to its weird structure and plot. Undoubtedly some scenes such as the exile of Huey and Ground Zero's 'Like a damn fiddle' scene offer some amazing VA performances, but I just wasn't drawn into the story as previous metal gear games.

    Its astonishing that the gameplay alone carried this game to an '8', and that's really saying something. However, the open world itself, and the story is quite disappointing. Now that you can pick up this game for ten bucks, it surely is worth playing, Just don't expect to be blown away with the story like in the previous instalments.

    Have played all the Metal Gear games is the entire series, I am a little let down that Hideo Kojima couldn’t finished the game as it was designed to be. The storyline was like broken pieces especially when it comes to the final few chapters.

В общем хочется, чтобы она заботилась о сохранении времени)

    Теперь о плюсах:
    - Великолепная графика и оптимизация
    - Огромная вариативность прохождения миссий с генерацией уникальных ситуаций, целый арсенал возможностей
    - Как обычно у мгс - крутая постановка и операторская работа, внимание к деталям (диалоги, кассеты, отражение последствий на базе, снейке и тд)
    - Раскрытие последних пробелов в истории серии
    - Интересный менеджмент базы

    Итого - великолепная игра, которая может увлечь на несколько десятков часов. Но, которая совершенно не бережёт ваше время

To be honest, I was skeptical at first as to how much different the gameplay would feel with an open world sandbox design compared to its predecessors. Players are given the freedom to roam freely throughout the environment with structured story missions and side quests along the way. The narrative could've been more refined and polished since it does suffers somewhat from pacing issues stemming from the open world design and countless cassette tapes that we have to listen to. The general plot kept me interested enough to follow through on the missions but the gameplay, controls and mechanics are the bread and butter of any MGS series. TPP does not disappoint in this area as it provides a fresh and challenging espionage tactical experience. Expand

    This game is so fun to play, but there is not much of a story. 10/10 gameplay, but 6/10 story. If the game had not had a bunch of the story cut out it would have been so much better. The opening of the game is epic. Dumbest part by far was the reason why Quiet was wearing her almost non existent outfit.

    One of the best intros in a videogame ever. As a longtime fan of Metal Gear, I think Kiefer Sutherland did a great job as Snake. The stealth gameplay is some of the best I've played, and I was invested in the story from beginning to end, but was caught off guard when it was over. If I had one complaint, it's that the game feels a little unfinished.

    I’ve followed the Metal Gear series for most of my gaming life. Through it’s ups and downs. The Phantom Pain has both, ups and downs. Without going in depth, this game was released unfinished. One of the last and key sections of the game/series was never finished and removed before the games release. It’s an unfortunate way to end a series of this status. In the end, all that’s left is a Phantom Pain and that maybe the most appropriate way to end this series after all...

    The ONLY issue is that, toward the end, something just felt off. I feel like this game was supposed to have several more chapters, but they just stopped. I know there were extra post-game chapters and some specifically that dealt with the kid (no spoilers), but they felt out of place with lots of filler missing in between. You'd repeat old chapters but they'd be stealth or higher difficulty, but then there would be new story chapters peppered in between. It was really odd.

    If the game had been 100% completed or just ended after the final boss battle, this would be one of maybe 5 games that I'd ever give a 10/10.

    Metal Gear V is a deviation from the typical formula of an MGS game. Rather than focusing on cinematic, absurd scenarios and ideas, it hones in on gameplay. Open worlds have been a pretty massive trend over the past decade and they end up building these open sandboxes that are filled with nothing. They fail to take into account the world as a tool, something to use to your advantage. MetalMetal Gear V is a deviation from the typical formula of an MGS game.

Open worlds have been a pretty massive trend over the past decade and they end up building these open sandboxes that are filled with nothing. They fail to take into account the world as a tool, something to use to your advantage. Metal Gear V does something special by slowly dropping you into different areas of Afghanistan and or Africa, encouraging you to use these places as a means of carrying out your mission. Any way you can think of doing is likely a possibility. You wanna send in your dog to slit everyone's throat? Do it. You wanna place bombs in a car, drive the car into an outpost, run away, and blow it up? Do it. You wanna create a death march where you drown enemy soldiers in shallow puddles? You're probably a screwed up individual, but you can definitely do it. It only becomes boring if you play out missions in the same way, your creativity is the only thing holding you back Expand

    The story, doesn't matter and I believe that it is intended this way to ask the player, what are you willing to do to be the grate legendary mercenary commander: Big Boss?

    What I hated, It's fun. Why is that bad? Because I killed allot of people and not only did I have fun, I kidnaped some of them and then realized the war economy works the same way in real life.

    What I loved, everything from the scenery to the mission is taken into gameplay. The characters are well designed and every gun has it's unique feel and the story is all kinds of bonkers. Best part of this game is that you don't need to play the previous games at all to understand anything being said.

    I just didn't think the grate Hideo Kojima had it in him to create another golden egg. Go in knowing as little as possible and get sucked in the the wonderful world of Metal Gear Solid! - 9 out of 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a game V is pretty good.

    A mission by mission structure where you choose your loadout before each mission but unlike Peace Walker, for a cost, you can change your loadout mid-mission via supply drops by individually selecting an item or by calling in a pre-made loadout. Great for switching play styles without wasting too much time.
    The gameplay is great from the stealth aspects to the gunplay. I personally didn't use the reflex mode but it is a good addition to the game as it preserves the flow of sneaking through the large areas. I found it to take away some of the challange and if you're quick enough (or lucky) you don't need it ;)
    The difficulty is where it should be. Not a hard game but can get the better of you if you're complacent.

    As a story, for what little it has, it's just kinda meh.

    The game has one of the best openings as a long narrative sequence escaping a hospital thats being attacked by people that want you dead.
    But if you like this style of game then too bad! Go spend 30-50 hrs doing run around missions until the game feels like exposition dumping the rest of the narrative to you.
    Granted the missions aren't bad to play. But not even half of them need to exist as they have no real purpose in the story other then building up Diamond Dogs and "bringing the legand back to life". In other words: get money, kidnap solders, waste time (especially the repeat missions).

    It was a hard decision choosing between giving this game a 9 or a 10. To me personally, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is THE PERFECT game. I can't name any other game where I had more fun and spent more hours on. Since launch, I still put in a couple of hours every other day at the very least. This timeless masterpiece will forever remain in my heart as the greatest game of allIt was a hard decision choosing between giving this game a 9 or a 10.

Since launch, I still put in a couple of hours every other day at the very least. This timeless masterpiece will forever remain in my heart as the greatest game of all time.

    Now that my bias is out of the way, here is my raw, unfiltered review of this game. Metal Gear is such an amazing franchise, and a true inspiration to the gaming industry. To those who grew up playing all of the previous Metal Gear games, fans alike will all agree that this final installment of the Metal Gear series has the weakest story to date. Metal Gear has always been pretty vague when it comes to canonical fact or fiction. There is so much randomness, chaos, comedy, and tragedy when it comes to Metal Gear. It really exercises the player's imagination, and just putting together all of the pieces of story content is a challenge on its own.

    That being said, The Phantom Pain still has so much to offer. It is such a shame that Fox Engine has been put to waste, considering the incredible graphics that still hold up to today's standards (in 2022). The gameplay may seem complex to newcomers at first, but players will soon come to realize its intuitiveness. The actors all did a great job when it came to playing their respective characters. Personally, Kiefer Sutherland as "Big Boss" was a welcoming surprise, despite a lot of fans being disappointed in David Hayter not returning. The music is top notch, as per usual when it comes to Metal Gear games.

    Although Metal Gear will most likely not be making a return to the gaming industry, I'm still grateful to Kojima for giving us fans these incredible games. Metal Gear Solid V will forever be my favorite game of all time.

No se de quien de los dos fue la idea de que MGSV sea mundo abierto, lo entiendo perfectamente eran los tiempos donde este formato era una fiebre y aun a día de hoy lo siguen refinando o algunos hasta los hacen iguales.

    Este juego tiene sus pros y sus contras, está lejos de ser obra maestra pero tambien esta lejos de ser una mier*$ de juego, de hecho es un juego muy bueno, de lo mejores AAA de la época pq en cuanto a aspecto técnico es una jodida maravilla, la mano de kojima se nota en todo, pero neta en todo, si esto no fuera MG seria un juego casi mediocre pq siento que Kojima logra poner ese estilo que siempre hace aunque aquí tambien falla en cosas y no se si sea su culpa o de Konami, y dudo de Kojima pq desde el 4 se llegaba a notar un poco de mediocridad, si el 4 no fuera fan service la verdad no se si me gustaría mucho.
    El gameplay también tiene sus pros y sus contra, el control es una maravilla, sin duda es el mejor que ha hecho, si le sacas mucho jugo puedes hacer cosas maravillosas y llega a ser muy divertido, gracias a dios, pq este juego tiene un tipo de misiones que da muuuucha hueva, y esa es una de sus fallas, cayó en la fiebre del mundo abierto del momento, muy pero muy repetitivo y vació, la verdad es muy ubisoft si se siente como un MG FARCRY, entiendo que esto en la época gustaba pero hoy en día cansa, también el menú es algo incomodo, y eso se relaciona con la historia, la manera de hacer misiones me decepcionó mucho, y no estoy en contra de las historias episódicas, pero aquí la neta no agrada tanto y también mancha mucho la historia la cual también falla mucho, MG es una saga que es sinónimo de calidad en cuanto a argumento, de hecho es la saga con unas de las mejores historias y momentos de los videojuegos, pero esta también falla mucho y esta muy incompleta, maldito Konami, personajes olvidables, villanos mediocres, incongruencias con otros juegos, misiones repetitivas, no es una mie#$ de historia pero si que es la peor de la saga, aparte también peca de fumadas, desde el 4 y este ( y tengo entendido que con Death Stranding también) se saca una japonesas que se les ocurrió con 5 porros encima, pero bueno mínimo el final me gustó mucho.

    Pero bueno, no es mal juego aunque si me da coraje por lo que pudo ser, nos perdimos de otro gran titulo de esta saga pq la verdad este juego era para más, me considero hater #1 de Konami.

    For a little background, Metal Gear as a franchise is a stealth game where you play as different special operatives all with the codename "Snake", with a mission to infiltrate some location and destroy some superweapon that is called "Metal Gears". From this basic premise though, series creator Hideo Kojima, despite his many Hollywood troops and gratuitous scene selections still manages toFor a little background, Metal Gear as a franchise is a stealth game where you play as different special operatives all with the codename "Snake", with a mission to infiltrate some location and destroy some superweapon that is called "Metal Gears". From this basic premise though, series creator Hideo Kojima, despite his many Hollywood troops and gratuitous scene selections still manages to tell a compelling anti-war narrative in which a player has the choice to either slaughter his way through a base, or spare all of their foes. Motivated by the writer's desire for the player to understand the consequences of nuclear war and its horrors, which the Metal Gears are analogous to in the plot.
    What is most interesting to me about this game is how much it contrasts many of the other game franchises with similar demographics. Games such as GTA, Far Cry, Just Cause, and others allow the player to fulfill a fantasy of being a Hollywood action hero that gets to destroy buildings, commit gratuitous acts of violence, kill NPCs for no reason, and it all be framing you to be this "badass" (For lack of a better term). Whereas this game takes the same Mature rating that all of these games have and makes the arrogant kid who picks it up because he wants to play something fun sit with the consequences of his actions as the Narrative reminds you of your "sins" (A term the game uses throughout its dialog and is the central theme of one of its soundtrack pieces literally called "Sins of the Father"). It is admirable how well the writer understands and wishes to subvert his audience. Furthermore, the game incentivizes pacifism over gratuitous violence while also making it far more difficult. If you go through a mission without a single kill or the enemies never detected you at all (avoiding any confrontation at all), you get an S score, and the characters of the game congratulate you on a job well done, whereas those same characters will talk negatively if you score any less. I think this helps to add dignity to the human persons in the stories, even if they are just expressionless grunts. Overall, the gameplay alone is so good, that regardless of how bad you feel playing through the story, you need to play more of it. Almost as if the game is the drug that keeps you hooked so the writer can prove his point.
    On to the Narrative review. The story is, on the surface, a simple revenge quest. You are the leader of a mercenary company, and your base is destroyed by a mysterious rogue operative, and it is your job to avenge your comrades and get revenge on this mysterious man. So, you travel from warzone to warzone, witnessing the horrors of war (and for some players who elect to, participate in them), in search of this mysterious man. The game is incredibly well-researched. Since it takes place in 1984, the game brings light to actual conflicts that occurred, in particular, The Soviet-Afghan War and the conflict in Angola-Zaire. Using a bit of parody, it shows the inner workings of the "War Economy" and the military-industrial complex as you see how these nations interact with certain mercenary corps and how the powers of the world promote this. But most compelling with the story is the aftermath after you achieve the revenge central to the Narrative, you receive the thematic thesis that the main character has. All of your allies feel completely distraught after losing their reason for being (The aforementioned revenge), but your character explains that he wishes to turn his mercenary corps into a nation of soldiers with nothing left to fight for. He understands that revenge would never fulfill him, only by building something greater than himself can he cope with the tragedy of all that he has done and all that he has lost. This is a very unique approach for a game’s revenge quest, especially compared to something like Just Cause 3.

    The holy grail of world-building games, it’s argued, is a black box that lets players do as they like with minimal handholding. Pliability with just the right measure of accountability. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a tactical stealth simulation wrapped in a colossal resource management puzzle inside a love letter to theatrical inscrutability, comes the closest of any game I’ve yet played to realizing that ideal.

    There’s no denying the Game of the Year potential of The Phantom Pain. The campaign is absolutely massive, it’s almost too much to cope. That being said, Chapter II is a huge let-down and feels like artificial padding. Still, this is about as good as tactical espionage operations can get in a video game. [Oct 2015]
