    A high point, and fitting end to the franchise.
    Hideo Kojima has always delivered a perfect blend of cinematic style and goofball antics to make his games feel unique from the rest of the competition. and although the final game in his Metal Gear legacy is more serious in tone, it still has those strange touches of magic to let you know it's still a Hideo Kojima game.

    Although the games development and marketing was tainted by Konami's completely childish behavior, from not allowing Kojima to accept his awards, removing his name from all the packaging and posters, and trying to nudge him out before eventually forcing him to leave the company after the games release, the end product is still amazing.
    As a stealth game, it's everything you could want, from planning out your gear before each mission, to choosing how to best approach each objective. Sneaking feels natural and fluid. Choosing the silent approach will often lead to a cleaner outcome, but you may miss out on some of the loot you can pick up by clearing out all the enemies (although that can absolutely be done in total stealth it's easier to go guns blazing) The weapons and gadgets make you feel suitable bad ass as you take people out James Bond style.
    The story is what you would expect from a Metal Gear game although vastly bigger in scale than any other games in the series. There's also a new voice actor for Snake, Kiefer Sutherland, who adds a stronger foundation and nuance to the character than ever before.
    The larger than life characters, large scale set pieces and enormous open world areas all add to the vastness. Not to mention your home base which can be sizable in scale and population in itself if you're willing to put the effort in to expanding it and fultoning enemy soldiers, who can be turned to fight for your cause.
    The sound design is exceptional in general, although you may get a little bored of certain lines you'll hear over and over from your helicopter pilot or from Kaz.
    The open world also gives this game a totally different approach to missions. Everything is now episodic in nature rather than linear like the past games. You can approach missions and side missions in whichever order you choose. This is both a blessing and a curse, because as much fun as it is, it does somewhat disjoint the story slightly as you'll be heading back and forth to your helicopters mobile base of operations or Mother Base after most missions. But its the nature of the beast with the open world structure. It does mean that it can become a little repetitive over time. but if you can see through that, there is an exceptional piece of story telling here. I wont spoil the story as it's something better experienced first hand. But it's the best story in the franchise and will make you think about it long after its over.
    there's a ton of replayability here too as you can replay any completed mission to get an S-Rank and unlock extra XP and items.
    This was Hideo Kojimas unfortunate goodbye to a character he has developed and grown for most of his career, it's sad that it's come to an end, but I can't think of a better send off. I hope he manages to regain the franchise in the future with his new company, but if not at least this was a thrilling ride to the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warning: Spoilers
    I got this game because I hugely enjoyed the previous entry (which was more of a preview) and acquired the taste. As a long time gamer, MGS5 will turn out much much much much more than you would expect and what you're to experience here can only be described as epic.

    Easily the best action game I have ever played. This world is so rich and missions have so many variations, I could play it for a month at least. MGS5 truly deserves the high rating it has.

    Hideo Kojima outdid himself with this one. A perfect game!!!

    Can't wait for his next. I am now a big fan.

I would have prefer cutscenes, because otherwise having to listen your breifing each time in the helicopter before your mission is boring and a waste of time! Send me to the mission already!! So honestly I have still played a lot but found myself loising interest after a couple of day, And one last thing, those sexy sequences around Quiet in almost every cutscenes is boring and made me lost most of my respect for Kojima; you can do better than beeing a pervert, adding this kind of content just make the game silly and childish...I would have like it to be more subtle than a woman walking around in bikini.… Expand

This game is more balanced although more cinematic wouldn't bad. And the end, well, I won't say anything but I expected more. This game have a few weird things that at first can be funny but you'll get used to it pretty fast. Gameplay is good and smooth, you can try different tactics with different weapons although I normally used the same. Mostly I used weapons with mufflers. About the chicken helmet it can be funny in the battlefield but it looks really awkward when after a mission you see a long scene with Snake wearing it the whole time. Unnecessary, as it's also unnecessary the Hideo Kojima here and there. About sidequests at certain point of the game you'll have to do some of them to keep going with the story and they are not really interesting, same places than in the main missions and same kind of tasks. From episode 32 to 50 there are some missions that you've already completed. Now you can try to do it with high difficulty, although I tried two and I ended up quiting. Do sidequests and eventually you'll unlock more main missions. Although I was about to rate it with an 8 because of the end and for having to do sidequests to advance, the rest is excellent that's why I give it a 9. I guess it took me about 45-50 hours to beat.… Expand

    Picked this up on PS4's winter sale for $6. First and only metal gear game. I wish I got the enjoyment out of it that so many others do, but I found the story forgettable and most of the time I just drifted to my phone out of bordem, game play is clunky (even for a 2015 game). Graphically it's fine. It's not bad but also nothing special.

    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

Some complain about the relative "lack" of story cutscenes, but fans of gameplay-focused series like Dark Souls, Zelda or Monster Hunter will at the very least be impressed with what has been done here, and will likely fall in love with it as I did. The missions are engrossing and pulling off an S-rank performance is a serious thrill. Technically the game is beautiful and oh by the way this is hands down one of the top 3 smoothest performing game I've ever played. I don't think I experienced a single instance of framerate dropping. Just a fantastic artistic and technical achievement.

    I imagine that if you have never played an MG this game will bring many new things that can please you without being too strange for taking a more modern model close to Far cry, now if you are a fan of the series like I say to lower expectations because unfortunately the part that suffered the most with the open world and being able to do the missions in any order was the story that seems often disconnected.

    The absence of big CG and the presence of only 1 really iconic boss fight and 2 others that are ok, this is undoubtedly a much better experience as a generic open world game than as a metal gear.    … Expand

    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 prequel Ground Zeroes gave a good seed. We've been getting a typical representative games for srubaniya money on the popularity of the franchise. Our expectations, scandal Kojima with Konami resulted in an overestimation of both users and the press.

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain begins with a beautiful prologue. Hideo kojima is directing great videos. All the movies in the game is executed perfectly. After the prologue the expectations of the user on top, but then starts grindilka long hours in 100 (it at whom as). After a brilliant prologue and maybe the first mission to rescue Miller, begins an aimless romp in the sandbox. Many pointless and uninteresting additional missions diluted the plot. But the story missions sometimes are neither setting nor plot development. Rollers we all will indulge rarely. Buying this game you agree not to plot an adventure, not to play the movie with long rollers, and at long romp in the open world. The situation worsens more and that this open world (Afghanistan and Africa) completely empty and completely hostile. There is nothing but empty spaces and enemy bases.

    The game is really good. This is the best of STEL action in an open world! You have many opportunities to perform tasks. It is a pity that if you go through the game quietly, the arsenate will be only a tranquiliser gun. The lethal Arsenal of weapons is very extensive. Various gadgets are also set. With them, the game becomes infinitely replayable sandbox. Also, you have 4 partners: horse, cute dog, dog, d-walker, and sexy sniper Quiet. Each of the companions useful in their own way: with the horse's help you'll overcome the game miles, the dog will mark enemies and kill them, d-walker is generally a mini tank, a Quiet is to eliminate targets from afar.

    Those who will play Phantom Pain for the sake of the plot and stunning commercials will be disappointed. This game is about gameplay. Despite the fact that the story missions in the game a lot (50 pieces), but most can be written in extra, since there won't be anything interesting. They themselves do a few story missions are really good and are accompanied by stunning videos. But those missions are few (not more than 15, I think). Most of the story details we learn by listening to tapes, which is too much.

    In addition to performing the repetitive missions in the open world, we will equip our database (from people to animals). It's not very exciting, and extremely repetativly process.

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, unfortunately, does not deserve all these great ratings and positive reviews. This is the best prohodnyak. Go and forget. If you want to re-again, you would have to do all of these monotonous effects, to get to the plot. The game is like this not because of Kojima. It is already clear that Konami just welded on the famous brand. Kojima can understand. It is impossible to force to make a good creative product. And the story he had to suck from a finger, so at least something was. However, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain remains the best stealth action game in an open world. If you want to perform monotonous missions and play with the local sandbox, the game for you. Once the game you need to enjoy rare clips and great replayability sandbox.    … 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]
