    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.

    A great and amazing stealth game, probably one of the greatest of all time. A terrible Metal Gear in every sense of the word, a former shadow of itself in the story department.

    The Phantom Pain hat bei den meisten Rezensenten Traumwertungen erhalten. Und sicherlich, die Spielmechanik eines MGS5 ist die mit Abstand beste aller Metal Gear Teile. Zum Ende der PS3 Ära waren Open World Titel zudem noch lange nicht die Regel und MGS5 war hier mit seinen riesigen Arealen sicherlich sehr weit vorne.

Und sicherlich, die Spielmechanik eines MGS5 ist die mit Abstand beste aller Metal Gear Teile. Zum Ende der PS3 Ära waren Open World Titel zudem noch lange nicht die Regel und MGS5 war hier mit seinen riesigen Arealen sicherlich sehr weit vorne.

    Doch trotz der Masse an Content, die The Phantom Pain zu bieten hat. Trotz der motivierenden Basenbastelei und der ausgefeilten Stealth Mechaniken - als tatsächliche Fortsetzungen des MGS Franchise enttäuscht Phantom Pain auch in vielerlei Hinsicht. So gibt es nach einem fulminanten Prolog erst einmal einen kompletten Story Abbruch. Weitere Storyelemente werden nur sporadisch in das meist eher repetitive "Missionen abarbeiten" eingestreut. Zudem wirkt die große Open World ziemlich leer und tot. NPCs, Zivilisten gibt es auf der Map nämlich keine. Auch die Metal Gear typischen Bossfights gibt es eher selten zu sehen und diese ziehen auch lange nicht so in den Bann, wie es vorige Titel oft ausgezeichnet hat.

    Metal Gear Solid 5 ist sicherlich eine Spielwiese für Stealth begeisterte Action Gamer und ein Feuerwerk an verrückten Kojima Ideen. Doch man merkt dem Spiel seine Überambitioniertheit durchaus an. Auch, dass Kojima sein Mammut Projekt vielleicht nicht zu der Perfektion und dem Ende hat führen können, dass er sich für seine letzte Arbeit für Konami vielleicht gewünscht hätte.

    Viele Spielmechaniken sind großartig. Die KI der Gegner sucht bis heute ihresgleichen. Was andere Metal Gear Titel aber oft so speziell gemacht hat, nämlich abgedrehte Charaktere, spannende Storymissionen und eine herausragende Regie, da vermag ein Phantom Pain am hohen Niveau der Vorgänger nicht so recht anzuknüpfen. Wer also eher dies von einem Metal Gear Titel erwartet, wird vermutlich enttäuscht werden. Wer primär an gutem Gameplay interessiert ist, erhält mit Phantom Pain jedoch einen hervorragend ausbalancierten Titel, mit dem man vor allem eines kann, nämlich verdammt viel Zeit verbringen.    … Expand

    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.

    - Половины сюжета, как и миссий в игре нет, их просто забыли добавить, так же как и концовку.
    - Игра принуждает к донату: если вы заходите разрабатывать новые интересные гаджеты на поздних этапах игры, вам понадобятся хорошие сотрудники или большая их численность. Но в игре есть большая проблема с хорошими сотрудниками - их почти невозможно получить без многочасового фарма. Если же вы решитесь брать количеством, а не качеством - вас ждет полтора месяца ожидания, пока вам накапает ГБ монет на постройку новой акватории. Ахуенное геймплейное решение.
    - Разработка новых гаджетов может занимать до целой реальной недели. Знаете почему? Чтобы вы донатили на ускорение разработки.
    - В онлайн режиме наблюдаются бесконечные баги и вылеты: охраники могут спавниться у вас за спиной, видеть вас через стены, очки за прохождение миссий фоб могут не начисляться, а миссии по проникновению на чужую базу просто вылетают во время их прохождения - без причины, просто потому что у Конами отвратительные сервера.
    - Баланс в онлайн режиме ужасный - невозможно найти соперника с подходящим тебе уровнем базы, постоянно попадаются люди, у которых уровень базы ниже твоей на уровней 20-30.
    Итого: Одиночная игра получается 5/10, так как это половина игры, а онлайн режим ФОБ - 3/10 из-за идиотов, которые решили запихнуть в платную игру донат и этим сломали баланс. Общая оценка 4/10, геймплейно игра великолепна, но в остальных аспектах - всё плохо.    … Expand

    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...    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    I haven't played any other games of the franchise and as a result, don't have any memories coming from Kojima games. I'm unfortunately the type of player that can't help himself but to explore and do everything a game has to offer. In the case of MGSV, that'll be all missions, side missions and practice challenges. I find the gameplay loop of calling a chopper, selecting the research stuff, crafting upgrades, listening to mission briefing, selecting the mission gear, etc. a bit too lengthy and tedious. I'm only 20ish hours into the game but I already feel kinda tired of checking mostly generic objectives off of a single map.
    I find it strange that every one of these generic missions has a director, and the list of characters featured in it; again, I'm not familiar with Kojima and how he does things, but this aspect of the game didn't appeal to me. Seemed to me they're too proud of every aspect of the game.
    I tried to give the game another chance by playing fast and crazy; but the first side mission I selected to do this, I crossed a specific part of the map that triggered the introduction sequence of the assassin girl. The fight wasn't good and I spent the whole rest of the session watching cutscenes.

    I might desperately try playing the game again, but it's really unlikely to happen.    … Expand

    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]
