    I quit this game after the first mission. Luckily for me i got really bored one day and gave it another shot. And i can tell you i was about to miss out on a really good game. Definitely top 5 PS4 games, a must play i would say. On the downside i rly hated reading "Hideo Kojima"s every 5 seconds of the game

    This game makes you feel like a badass. It also makes you feel like a bumbling idiot (if you're like me and enjoy the stealth route far more).

It also makes you feel like a bumbling idiot (if you're like me and enjoy the stealth route far more). There is nothing more soul crushing than being spotted and being thrust straight into a firefight that can lost several minutes at a time. But, similarly there is nothing more rewarding than stealth-ing your way through an entire stronghold without being seen. The potential for tension and fun is palpable, but so is the potential for misery and self-loathing. Those of you that love going all out guns blazing are serviced as well (although I don't get why you would want to take that route, you crazy bastards), with plenty of high power weapons sans suppressors for you to use. The game really emphasizes choice. Each mission starts you several hundred feet away from your objective (albeit with an annoyingly long, unskippable cutscene) letting you choose how you get to the objective, and from what angle you take it on. It's a very dynamic, reactionary game that lets you tackle things the way you want to tackle them. I'm not saying that choice is necessary in all games (linear games have their place), but it certainly works in this game. And that's the main difference between this game and Splinter Cell. Choice.
    This is my first MGSV. I hadn't played Ground Zeroes, so I was completely new to the franchise's convoluted (from what I've heard) story. The story in this game is very bare bones. Big Boss speaks incredibly rarely, and I had very little context to any of it. Psychomantis? FIre Guy? Skull Face? Sahelanthropus? The hell is all this? Unlike Witcher 3, this game's story is unfriendly to newcomers. But does it matter? Not really. I have a few other complaints such as a lack of variety in a few levels, challenge levels that serve to pad the game's length, etc, etc. But its a fun game. And that's really what matters the most.    … Expand

    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!

    A perfect game. It is so well done! This is the best stealth game ever. Every mission is different, and maybe even better than the one before. The only thing I'll complain about it's its difficulty. I could easily complete the first 15 missions in only two attempts, but from then I had to at least try 4 times before I could complete the whole mission.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hideo Kojima has done it again! Although it's a radical step forward and a break from tradition for the Metal Gear series, MGSV is a well-executed game that excels in almost every aspect of gameplay. It still has all of the quirks of a Metal Gear game, but the open-world maps usher in previously unheard of levels of freedom to the Metal Gear series.

    The graphics are beautiful and the game always runs smoothly, the story is great (though, honestly, not as deep as previous Metal Gear games like 2 or 4), and the style of gameplay keeps you on your toes! The only complaint I really have is how invasive the online features are; you can't construct any FOB's (extra bases) offline, and nuclear weapons are useless to offline players.

    Other than those (admittedly minor) issues, Metal Gear Solid V is an overall wonderful game and deserves its spot in the Metal Gear series! Sure, there's a lot of content that got left out (I'm looking at you, Mission 51), but what's in the game now is more than enough to make up for it.

    I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a great stealth action or third person shooter game. MGSV delivers and it delivers well.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a big MGS fan, but I have mixed feelings about The Phantom Pain. It's a highly ambitious game that sadly doesn't hit its goals, maybe because of the notorious fallout between Konami and Kojima.

    The story, one of the trademarks of the MGS series, is both the worst and most under-developed ever (even MGS 4 had a much better and more impactful one). After a good start in the Hospital escape and the Miller rescue, the storytelling becomes either irrelevant or bland, only to pick up in the final few missions (which end up with Skull Face's death and the destruction of Metal Gear). The almost silent Big Boss (who is too calm for a man supposedly hell bent on revenge) voiced by Kiefer Sutherland doesn't help matters, and most other major characters are disappointing (Ocelot and Skull Face in particular) and at times make no sense. Only Huey was a well written, complex and tragic character, and Miller to a lesser degree. Quiet is a mysterious and interesting figure who simply walks away in the end. The pre-release trailers set up a magnificent premise, but the story is, to put it frankly, totally different to what we would expect from Kojima.

    Another big issue is that the game is incomplete. There is the notorious Episode 51 which was cut from the game and is available on Youtube to watch, but I suspect there is more content which was cut. I don't understand why they cut this particular episode as it is awesome, and it ties Eli's (he's young Liquid Snake, but most people recognised him in the trailers anyway) loose end who in the game simply disappeared from Mother Base, his fate left unexplained.

    The story may be a disappointment, but gameplay is simply fantastic. Missions are designed in such a way that you can infiltrate enemy posts from whatever path you want, whichever method you see fit, and whatever time of day you wish. You have to choose from either stealth, Rambo-style-all-guns-blazing, or a mixture, and use whatever gadgets you have. Obviously the way to go is stealth, preferably at night, because the AI is competent enough to be a serious threat. If alerted, the enemy soldiers surround the player, and if you hide while being hunted they won't forget you easily as they keep searching for quite a time. Individual AIs aren't the smartest, but it's a game, not a military simulator. One of the best features is the inclusion of AI companions to aid you in the field (it's 100% optional, but I highly recommend using all the help you can get). You start with D-Horse, then add D-Dog (smells enemies from afar automatically and attacks them if ordered), Quiet (tracks enemies automatically and shoots/tranquilizes them if ordered), and D-Walker (a walking robot, which is both a transport vehicle and can track and shoot enemies automatically). You can ride a jeep or a tank, too, in order to travel between locations. There are 2 maps, Afghanistan and Africa, and both are huge in size and varied, even featuring animals and plants.

    Another big part of gameplay is Mother Base and the Fulton extraction balloon. You can extract enemy soldiers or prisoners of war via Fulton, and convince them to join your ranks so as to raise your army, or extract material containers in order to expand your Mother Base. The more and better troops you have, the more perks you get from Mother Base (mortar strikes, weather predictions, enemy reports, etc.) and you can unlock new weapons and gadgets to use on the field.

    The game has 2 online modes, FOB Missions and Metal Gear Online. The former is tied to the single player campaign, as you infiltrate (PvE style) the FOBs of other players and steal material containers or soldiers, and can be quite challenging when invading an FOB with fully armed troops and anti-theft devices. The latter is a standard PvP online game suite. Nothing outstanding (maybe except the newly added Survival mode), but not bad either.

    A few words about the graphics and sound. The game is powered by the Fox Engine. While the game's graphics aren't cutting edge (you can easily see polygon details everywhere), it's beautiful, with one of the best lighting models out there. And it runs at stable 60 fps, not bad for an open world game on consoles. The only downside is the small draw distance for foliage, shadows and textures, but it's handled carefully (they fade in/out, instead of abruptly popping in). As for the sound, the effects are great, but the soundtrack isn't memorable. The "Sins of the Father" song is awesome, though.

    Overall, it's a great game, non-MGS fans won't lose themselves to 60 minute cut-scens, but the diehards will feel disappointed. Anyway, buy the game and enjoy it as I did.

    MEGA SPOILER: The final and true ending, which links the entire saga in a not-so-perfect way, is the best thank you I have ever seen in a video game. At the same time, Kojima pulled another MGS 2 stunt on us. Even bigger than the previous one. That's all I will say about it.    … Expand

    I finished the first chapter and although it wasn’t special I wish it would have stayed that way, The second chapter is a mess and don't even get me started on the third. The episodic structure doesn't work and the "guest-starring" ruins the surprises. Plotwise, this game doesn’t need to exist, the plot twist explains a thing from the first metal gear and that’s it. Side-Ops are the blandest thing in the world, the content isn’t a ocean you can dive in, it is a very big swamp (no depth). Also, seeing stuff like the Tuxedo being micro-transactions hurts.
    I feel mixed about TPP, it could have been “the ultimate Metal Gear game” but it fails feeling like a metal gear game... still, it has kept me playing for +100 hours. I would give it a 7.5 if I could    … Expand

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

    It's difficult to properly judge the story of this game since it's clear there was content cut out. What semblance of a story there is however, is not good. The core gameplay though is a streamlined version of MGS 3 mixed with Peacewalker's RPG elements; it's very engaging and addictive at first, however the lackluster world design causes the game to feel repetitive.

The story does blend reality and fiction, but is really rewarding, so long as you pay attention. Best thing to do if you're confused, JUST KEEP WATCHING/LISTENING to the tapes and cutscenes. You'll catch on. Lots of unlockables and content, multiplayer is fun, but you should play the regular game first to get a hang on the controls. Later, you get the ability to invade other online player's home bases; which is really fun to do.

    TRUE FAN review: Been playing since the Metal Gear NES days. From someone who understands and follows almost all of the Metal Gear/MGS Canon and real life issues of the series. I'll share my perspective and will hopefully persuade you to pick this up.

    MGSV picks up right where Ground Zeros left off. (Haven't played it?! No worries there is a recap, recommend you watch that if you haven't) Right away the game throws some seriously disturbing twists at you. As a fan, they hit you hard, but only adds to the compelling narrative to follow.

    As a story, it truly does start out strong and ends with you feeling bitter. However, this is where you should look up the cut material from the game. (Which essentially is a key part of the ACTUAL ENDING to the game and helps to further explain all of the questions left unanswered)

    As for gameplay, this is the best stealth/3rd person shooter out there. It runs beautifully, loaded with plenty of unlockables, online gameplay, etc. First, the Fulton system gets old and seems to distract from the purpose of the game, which is stealth. (This coming from someone whose played Peace Walker to 100%) Mother base exploration is cool at first and later pretty bland. Last, are the buddies, although they are optional to use; they eventually make the game too easy. Sure, they are handy, when your taking care of those side ops, but they tend to make the main ops less enjoyable.

    In comparison to the other titles. The main ops are best out of the series in terms of a challenge and how creative they are to sneak through. Story wise its on par with Metal Gear Solid 2, which was good but a little sloppy. Overall the presentation with the cutscenes are the most beautiful, but I'd still put MGS4's above it, artistically.    … Expand

    In all the previous games Solid Snake and Big Boss in MG3 was voiced by the same actor David Hayter. So it is quite jarring to hear another actor Kethier Sutherland with a totally different distinct voice play the same role as which David Hayter did. New to the IP then this won't even matter.

    The gameplay is fine polished, but nothing ground breaking or that exciting really. The older MG games and controls were kind of tricky, because honestly how the limited 3D technology worked at the time. MGSV is a breeze to play and I felt at no time challenged on default difficulty. While the optional use of the iron sight addition makes the take downs even easier. How to recruit people is silly fun, but also so super dumb.

    A open map with a padded travel system and rinse/repeat missions is so boring in stealth. I get the feeling this game was supposed to have more maps? Or that maps were supposed to only have one mission per local.? They padded this game to hell and back for sure. Returning to the same place the third, fourth or filth time do the same thing for the third, fourth of fifth time in stealth mode.

    This game has a extensive tiers for lethal gear that take ages to grind to unlock lock, but the game penalizes you if you go loud and/or kill stuff. The most fun I had with this game was when I was going loud and getting crappy ranks.    … Expand

Куча девайсов и оружия. Напарники!

Это интересно, но со временем надоедает. Менеджмент базы весьма детальный, но недостаточно увлекательный, он скатывается в банальный гринд ресурсов.

    Сюжет не доделан, игра просто обрывается в какой-то момент.

    Сетевые функции тоже завязаны на гринде и понравятся только тем, кому мало основной игры и хочется ещё того же, но на соревновательной основе.

Огромное количество деталей и Кодзимовских "фишек" способствуют погружению, что отчасти компенсирует однообразие активностей.

    Спустя столько лет играется на ура. 10/10. И выглядит не плохо. Сюжет, конечно, чуть чуть недоделан, и чуть она растянута, но все же хочется отметить, что игра превосходна!

    Повторюсь - 10/10

    The Phantom Pain is the kind of game I thought would never exist - one where every minute gameplay detail has true purpose. Its lack of story focus is sure to be divisive for the Metal Gear faithful, but the resulting emphasis on my story, my tales of Espionage Action, easily make it my favorite in the series.

Its lack of story focus is sure to be divisive for the Metal Gear faithful, but the resulting emphasis on my story, my tales of Espionage Action, easily make it my favorite in the series. There have certainly been sandbox action games that have given me a bigger world to roam, or more little icons to chase on my minimap, but none have pushed me to plan, adapt, and improvise the way this one does. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain doesn’t just respect my intelligence as a player, it expects it of me, putting it in a league that few others occupy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's was a HUGE let down for me in many ways. Gameplay wise is good but not a master piece. I found myself bored often. I've played all the Metal Gear games and this was the weakest by far. I liked Survive better and that's saying a lot.… Expand

    If this is where Kojima does finally leave the series he created, it will be a bittersweet send-off, both for Big Boss and one of gaming's most intriguing auteurs.

    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]
