    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.

    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.

    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.

Даже в обрезанном виде сюжет радует своими поворотами и подачей в формате сериала. Возможно, глубина и вложенность повествования не сравнятся с предыдущими частями Metal Gear Solid, но игра радует тем, что безумно органично поднимает различные "острые" социальные и идеологические вопросы. Режиссура катсцен также на высоте. Не могу найти существенных минусов за исключением, к сожалению, скомканного окончания, но здесь игра стала жертвой обстоятельств.

I'm a massive Metal Gear fan since the original Sony Playstation. Some are among my greatest games of all time. However, for this entry I was left severely disappointed. On the one hand its gameplay mechanics are among the best the industry has ever witnessed, with impeccable stealth mechanics and freedom that gives you a lot of variety on how to tackle each mission. But on the other hand - it's incredibly repetitive. Mission structures don't give a lot of variety, with a lot of it feeling like a grind in order to improve your base. Most notably, its presentation is lacking. While the music and sound design remains top-notch, including the voice acting. The series is known for pushing the visual boundary of its system and this installment simply doesn't look superb but just great. I was especially bothered by the repetitive and bland environments. Yes, the desert is supposed to be barren, but this is way too much. Lastly, the story feels incomplete due to issues between the developer and the publisher, but either way, it's by far the weakest of the series.

    Overall: Metal Gear Solid 5's mechanics are perfect, but it's riddled by annoyances in open-world design. Repetitive, bland and monotonous. Topple that with a less than memorable story and technical visuals and without a doubt this is the lowest the series has been, which is a shame for its final installment.    … Expand

    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.

Story so far has been the best part of the game, but apparently that falls apart in the second half.

    The stealth mechanics are just passable, but important bits are broken. Wall hug/snap seems to have a 1/2 chance of working. You'll be crouch-walking at a wall, and Snake will just happily pass right by and get himself spotted. Other times, you'll just be trying to sneak through a doorway, and Snake decides it's about time to get stuck on the edge of the frame. And again, you're spotted and have to restart. You cannot crawl under railings. Snake loves to slam doors open, even when you're crouch-walking through them. You cannot actually determine when an enemy will realistically see you or not based on things like lighting, stance, distance. It may as well just be random, as there's absolutely no consistency from what I've experienced. Enemies can only be 'held up' if you approach from behind, which again, makes absolutely no sense. Instead, you have to make your own workaround where you choke an enemy, let them go, and then hold them up, just to then tell them to lay down. All of this...or the developers could have just had a bit more common sense and let you 'hold up' enemies from the side and front if you get close enough.

    People calling this the greatest stealth game of all time are out of their minds. Of the dozens I've played so far, MGSV pretty much just average at best. You do get a lot of bang for your buck, but half of that bang isn't worth the time, honestly.    … Expand

    El gameplay de MGS V es increible, creo que llega al punto de ser perfecta, pero en lo que falla totalmente este juego es en su historia. La historia no llama mucho la atención, los personajes y los jefes solo están ahí porque sí, no hay ningún interés en profundizar con los personajes del todo. Es un muy buen video-juego pero su historia deja mucho que desear.

    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.

    It's not ok for a full priced game to include micro-transactions that affect main story progress. What's even less ok, is finding out about said microtransactions AFTER buying the game because neither the game nor the reviews warn you about them.

    As a fanboy of the series, this installment has really disappointed me. MGS is know for story and there is barely a decent one here that fits the saga. On the other hand if gameplay is your shtick then you will enjoy this as it has some of the best action stealth gameplay I have ever experienced.

    The astounding variety of equipment you can develop (weapons ranging from AR to tranq guns, rocket launchers, snake's mechanical arm, buddy equipment), the buddies you use, as well as your own planning and ingenuity can make each infiltration feel so fresh and exhilarating. I'm around 90 hours into the game and it hasn't gotten boring yet.
    This has got to be some of the best gameplay games can offer you to this day. Kojima knocked it out of the park with this one.

    However, the world itself is quite disappointing. Often times, it feels barren and empty. With nothing else in between each outpost and base. Traversal wasn't the best too, often times infuriating, and if you forgot to drop into the game world without D-horse or a vehicle, have fun just running for 10 minutes straight to your mission objective.

    The story however, was a drastic step down from its predecessors. In fact, I still struggle to cohesively critique it due to its weird structure and plot. Undoubtedly some scenes such as the exile of Huey and Ground Zero's 'Like a damn fiddle' scene offer some amazing VA performances, but I just wasn't drawn into the story as previous metal gear games.

    Its astonishing that the gameplay alone carried this game to an '8', and that's really saying something. However, the open world itself, and the story is quite disappointing. Now that you can pick up this game for ten bucks, it surely is worth playing, Just don't expect to be blown away with the story like in the previous instalments.    … Expand

    Metal gear solid 5 is the most overrated game in the series. The story is non-existent and it works just like the psp metal gear where you go from mission to mission in same locales. The mechanics are very good however. Smoothest controls in the series. The story is the worst in entire series though and no finale to the game.

Players are given the freedom to roam freely throughout the environment with structured story missions and side quests along the way. The narrative could've been more refined and polished since it does suffers somewhat from pacing issues stemming from the open world design and countless cassette tapes that we have to listen to.

    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]
