    Played this game because it was a PS+ free games. It was ok but I've never played any Kojima games before and this type of shooter games are just not for me. The convoluted story also didn't help.

    Очень обидно,что Конами выгнали Гения и пятая часть вышла немного недоделанной. Пусть и нестандартный свободный мир , и немного тупенький ИИ. Это тот же Метал Гир и то ,что здесь есть - это уже контента на голову выше ,чем у новеньких ААА-Проектов.

    -Вы Биг Босс
    -Куча проработанных мелочей, которые четко работают (Только гений додумался добавить водяной пистолетик и этим же пистолетиком можно сломать генератор в тихую)
    -Кассеты с музыкой , С ХОРОШЕЙ музыкой разбросанные по карте.

    -Стэлс все равно хорош
    -Сюжет сойдет
    Минусы
    -Немного тупой ИИ
    -Не очень нужная надобность улучшать свою Базу ( Да, у вас есть база, в которой находятся все твои солдаты, которых ты можешь завербовать на миссии и чем лучше прокачена База - тем больше ты сможешь сделать стволов и костюмов и прочего )
    -Можно нарваться на спойлеры MGS 3
    -Сюжет развивается слишком медленно

    Если бы Конами не выгнали Кодзиму, игра бы уж точно стала 12 из 10 и лучшей игрой всех времен и народов. У игры есть свои косяки, но она хорошая.    … Expand

    Kojima is GOD. He made a great stealth game, that you might be re-playing at least twice.

    The Phantom Pain is the kind of game I thought would never exist - one where every minute gameplay detail has true purpose.

    Story is good, graphics just fine, and I like that you dont have to play the whole series to play it (except ground zero of course) but, for me, the game can get really boring and repeatative at times witch can ruin my experience. All in all great game definetely recommend it.

    Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain Review: 7.5/10
    First part was great! Loved the style, pace of the story and the gameplay. The repetition in the second part let me down.

    I have never played a metal gear solid game, but I know they are supposed to have great stories. Yes, the story is bland and barely used in the game. But thats not entirely a bad thing because the majority is just gameplay and the gameplay is amazing.

    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.

    Gameplay is absolute genius, incredibly fun. Sadly, this is an unfinished game. Storytelling is very lackluster and all the motherbase stuff doesn't fit very well.

    Metal gear solid V me parece un gran juego con un apartado grafico tremendo y buena jugabilidad, pero a veces se me hace repetitivo,la dificultad es normal no me he sentido frustrado pero tampoco me a parecido un paseo por el campo.
    Es un buen juego no el mejor de la saga pero es un gran titulo que recomiendo a los seguidores de la saga

    Kojima is a genius. The best tactical stealth action game I've played. Even though this is not a 100% finished game in terms of plot, in terms of gameplay it has no equal. Hideo, thanks for some of the best games in the industry.

    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]
