    Fantastic game , so deep in its mechanics and gameplay options . Addictive gameplay always want to play for that bit longer and unlock more things. Love mixing it up on the battlefield . This game will be remembered as a masterpiece for years to come. Even if Kojima has left konami i hope he makes more games as good as this. A must buy for any gamer!

    The swansong the Kojima's beloved series is a fine one. The gameplay and mechanics have been refined making for more fluid controls and movement.

The game is very mission based, and you can approach a mission in multiple ways. Afghanistan is your playground and never has a game been so creative and inventive with items like the active decoy and the classic cardboard box. The story may lack focus to some but it is still a great plot dealing with dark themes from the conflict and effects of war to the treatment women and of child soldiers. It's the darkest MGS and certainly poses a few questions along the way. The cut scenes as usual are as polished and cinematic as ever.. Considering this is Kojima's last MGS, it is a bold and daring departure from the series formula but one that works. A modern day masterpiece.Game of 2015!… Expand

    This game is probably my favorite ever video game because of: its narrative and plot, profound stealth, intricate character design, through and fun game play and its connection to other stories in the metal gear series.

    My favorite aspect of this game is the plot. What makes it so good is that it is well thought out plot as well as it is extremely sophisticated,clever and intriguing (it reminds me of a western type of plot for some reason). The plot is executed well in the cut scenes as well as leaving the player with questions about what will happen next. overall plot/ narrative= 10/10

    the game is also paced wonderfully. Whether you like that or not is up to you as the player. It also has side missions that MAKE SENSE and are actually useful and enjoyable. pacing = 10/10

    the stealth is also another brilliant aspect. And is probably as good as its going to get in gaming. In every stealth mission you can DO ANYTHING!! You can choose the "rambo approach" or the " sneaky sneaky approach" or the "sneaky slightly loud approach", the choice is yours! stealth= 9/10

    the open world in this game is good, however it feels quite empty and devoid, however if you consider the context and the time period it is set in you will look over that.
    It does however have some well thought out details and its fun to ride in a car around the world.
    open world= 8/10

    This game does not have the same type of main menu such as metal gear 3 snake eater has. But, to be honest, IT DOES'NT MATTER!!

    the only flaw is that, people haven't recognized or understood its genius and plot, which is a huge shame as it has the BEST PLOT IN GAMING EVER.

    I GARGANTUAN-LY RECOMMEND THIS BRILLIANCE AND MASTERPIECE FOR ANY PRICE!!    … Expand

    Metal Gear Solid V respects your intelligence by providing powerful AI that can be unpredictable many times. First you have to tag enemies by using binoculars then move toward that place and complete the object. And if you get caught and escape then all the enemies change their shift and start looking for you. Sand storms & rains gives you leverage in which you can takeout your enemies more quickly.

    1. Game play is so immersive that you can spend more than 200 hours in it. Most of the time, you can control the pacing of the action, with a wide range of methods, weapons, etc to approach every mission - truly a tactical-action sandbox.
    2. Graphics are indeed next-gen level, even better than a number of games released in 2017.
    3. Controls and movement transitions are smooth and perfect.
    4. Mother Base management is a class by itself.
    5. Sounds, background music, and "sound track" are great, though I have other subjective preferences for the latter.
    6. The choice of conflict zones is very relevant and logical to the cold war era in the 1980s.
    7. By itself, the story is deep, dark, and psychological (such as Mission 43), with an intriguing espionage aspect (such as Zero's ruse). However, though story was great, it was not well presented. The insights are not spoon-fed to the player, everything is not revealed in between cutscenes either through dialogues and flashbacks. The player has to manually listen to the cassette tapes, which you'll usually do at a time when it has diminished relevancy to the immediate story. Lastly, that phantom episode should have been ours to experience.

    Bottom line: this game is a true masterpiece, a near-perfect creation except for the story presentation, and all other issues that players and reviews can come up with are just subjective matters.    … Expand

The game is great while the unfinished thing can somewhat be seen visible for METAL GEAR fans it doesn't matter the game is enough for you to kill a lot of time occupied in MGS V.

    MGSV TPP has been an amazing experience that I was glad to experience. My only regret is that we all know deep inside us that there were more things to come from this game, had Konami given Kojima enough time and funds. More missions, a more concise story and chapter 3 of course. However, it is a magnificent game that I've waiting for since I was a child and first played MGS.

    MGS 5 ditches the linear level structure and replaces it with an open world, full of soldiers, enemy bases and other things to explore. There are several gadgets, tools and weapons for you to unlock that allow for you to approach missions in a seemingly limitless number of ways, where replaying missions for different outcomes and replaying missions from earlier in the game with more advanced equipment is actually fun. There are numerous fun missions, and unlike past games, you are not punished for deviating away from stealth, so experimentation is encouraged.

    With an open world game comes a lesser emphasis on story. I enjoyed the plot of the game, and there are many epic moments, but there are less cutscenes and the story is not always well explained, where the game requires you to listen to cassette tapes for more story details. I did not mind this, but those hoping for a cinematic experience like in other MGS games may be disappointed. I preferred a stealthy approach, where quietly taking out or capturing soldiers was more fun to me, but I also had a lot of fun in intense gunfights and chasing scenarios.

    There is also a base building side to the game, similar to MGS Peace Walker. With this system, you are able to expand your base with resources that you find throughout the game and by capturing enemy soldiers, where you can develop new weapons and equipment. I found it very fun and addicting to continually build and upgrade my base.

    Also, the ending is abrupt, which was disappointing.

    However, MGS V is still one of my favorite games of this generation. Excellent controls, graphics, mechanics, and nearly endless opportunities in ways to take on missions make this game an absolute blast, and worth checking out for any gamer.    … Expand

    What can I say that isn't already said? Game mechanics are **** brilliant. Many games claim and are, in essence, "Open world". But rarely is that compensated with "Sandbox fun" often attributed to "Open world" games. Nowadays, games that are "Open world" are confused with "Sandbox Games", when in actuality, they are more restrictive than ANY linear game experience I've ever experienced.What can I say that isn't already said? Game mechanics are **** brilliant. Many games claim and are, in essence, "Open world". But rarely is that compensated with "Sandbox fun" often attributed to "Open world" games. Nowadays, games that are "Open world" are confused with "Sandbox Games", when in actuality, they are more restrictive than ANY linear game experience I've ever experienced. Red Dead Redemption 2, while a great game, is so restrictive in mission design and ways of interacting with the open world, that sometimes it turns a linear experience with a really big backdrop to it. MGSV: TPP sorts all that **** out and scratches that itch of "Do whatever the **** you want, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE ON A MISSION". There's nothing you can or can't do, and on top of that, the story is intriguing, and well directed, despite the game itself not necessarily being story driven.

    The story will satisfy most, with tapes that are completely optional to listen to fleshing out the story and lore further. Even better, is that you can listen to these cassettes WHILE ON MISSIONS, giving them a "Audiobook feel" as you just soak in every word while you kick the **** out of highly trained and equiped soldiers and shooting them back to base with your Fulton all undetected. All these "Hardcore" MGS fans who are butt hurt are simply salty because it breaks up the formula of the classic MGS games. Well **** that. If you are in 2 minds about this game, go with the mind of "I want that game" because you SERIOUSLY won't regret it. Also, make sure you get the definitive experience, as it comes with the start of the story with Ground Zeroes. A great tutorial level for the main game. Although be careful. Going from full control of Snake in Ground Zeroes right into frustratingly slow crawling and cutscene land can be jarring. If you want to play the game as soon as possible, start right from the get-go in the main game. Or just do whatever you want, however you want it. (Just like the game!)

    Incredibly, ANY negatives about this game are so small and lacking in consequence over the experience of the game that there virtually ARE no negatives. Despite the background development problems between Konami and Kojima, the game is not incomplete. It is complete, and worth every **** MINUTE OF PLAY AND CENT YOU SPEND ON IT. GET IT NOW, IT'S MORE WORTH IT NOW THAN WHEN IT WAS RELEASED.    … Expand

You can choose how you complete a mission, wether it is perfect stealth no kills or using an RPG to blow everybody up. The mission style is extremely fun and it is perfected. While picking up this game remember you won't be getting a great story, but you will be getting and amazing game with clean gameplay mechanics and a fun mission structure.… Expand

    I got this game in my freshman year, now i'm ready to graduate.
    I still can't bear to get a platinum trophy, because this game is so awesome.
    Smooth frame-rate, vivid graphic make every thing in this game alive.
    Hideo Kojima is absolute a genius.
    Best game ever played!

    the game keeps u enchanted. You can either pay attention to the story or skip through it. Plenty of side missions you can either skip or do. If u just want to pass the game, do it. If u, after 3 years want to jump back in to binge, do it without having a steep learning curve nor caring whats going on in the story

    Its the best game on ps4. Even when playing it in between other AAA games the gulf in quality is huge. Yes it was rushed out and the story is polarizing (my bet is that like MGS2 in time it will be understood) but I would rather have a polished game that has me wanting more than...fallout 4.

    One of the best incomplete game I've played. The gameplay makes up for the incomplete story completely. It gets you so much into it,with a wide range of approach to its missions.the level design is also the best so far in the series. Jus if hideo Kojima had been given some more time with the game, this would be easily the best game of this generation.

    Despite its many narrative flaws, the gameplay in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is completely without equal, in quality as well as quantity. The sheer amount of content alone is worth a 10/10, but as if that wasn’t enough, the quality itself surpasses anything that could be scored on a rating system. Definitely a good fit almost no matter what type of gamer you are.

En esta nueva entrega le dieron más libertad a la mayoría de las cosas, ya que hicieron un mundo semi-abierto, por lo que Snake puede desplazarse a mas locaciones y demostrar, en un campo amplio, sus destrezas.Sinceramente cuando lo jugué, sentí la necesidad de pararme y aplaudir la maravilla de juego que creó Kojima.

    La jugabilidad es cómoda y exquisita. los gráficos son espectaculares junto al elenco de voces que dieron vida a los personajes (desafortunadamente David Hayter no hizo la voz de Snake pero fue reemplazado por el gran Kiefer Sutherland) junto, también, a Troy Baker.
    El sistema de sigilo mantiene la esencia de sus antecesores y la nueva función del sistema Fulton, que lo hace más divertido al juego.
    Kojima hizo un excelente trabajo con esta nueva versión de MGS, lo único malo de esta obra de arte es la repetición, al termino de cada misión primaria, de quienes hicieron el juego (Kojima y equipo). Quieren hacerte saber, a toda costa, quien hizo el juego, dando a entender la relacion tensa entre Konami y Kojima.

    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 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]
