    Inacabado, insípido y sobrevalorado. Pésima prensa que elevó este juego sin siquiera merecer méritos.

    As far as the gameplay goes, The Phantom Pain is flawless. The controls and stealth gameplay are very intuitive and incredibly polished. The enemy AI is incredibly advanced, and each area you infiltrate is distinct and very well designed. My only complaints are the weak story and the somewhat empty open world, but these do not detract much from the overall experience.

    I'm gonna say right away that this is one of the best games I have ever played. It didn't matter that this was my first metal gear game ever. I loved every moment of it. Mechanically, the game is flawless. The controls, while difficult to get used to at first, are great once you know what you're doing. The gameplay is almost perfect. The number of ways you can go about completingI'm gonna say right away that this is one of the best games I have ever played. It didn't matter that this was my first metal gear game ever. I loved every moment of it. Mechanically, the game is flawless. The controls, while difficult to get used to at first, are great once you know what you're doing. The gameplay is almost perfect. The number of ways you can go about completing objectives is endless. Its more than just stealth v. rambo. If you want to go with the stealth approach, you can utilize a wide variety of tools in your arsenal, like the inflatable decoy, to distract and freak out enemies as you slip by them. You can lure them out of your path by throwing spare magazines or knocking using your robotic arm. You can knock out or kill all of them using your tranq gun or awesome close quarters combat skills. If you want to go guns blazing, the game doesn't punish for doing this, even though doing stealth is easier and minimizes the amount of problems you face. Because of this, if you get noticed, you are encouraged to roll with your mistakes and make the best of it. And it may actually work, where in other stealth games you would be screwed. If you are noticed, you can call in all kinds of support from your helicopter than with mow through enemies giving you trouble, to bombardments, to your own soldiers. You can also bring 4 different buddies with you. There's D-Horse who can **** on command, which actually causes vehicles to spin out of control, something useful the game doesn't tell you. D-Dog you can sniff out enemies marking them for you, and also attack soldiers. D-Walker is a walking bipedal tank thingy, who I didn't really use a whole lot but he is a good all around type buddy. Then there's Quiet, who, to say the least, is dressed rather questionably throughout the game, 14 year olds will love it, everyone else will think it's weird and insulting. Aside from her appearance, she actually plays a pretty big role in the story and is an interesting character. So she isn't just there for prepubescent fan service. Speaking of the story, that's where the game loses a few points. The first chapter, while not perfect, is interesting enough to keep you entertained. Certainly not at a level where most metal gear fans expect a story to be. It doesn't always flow very well, I think because of it's "episode" structure and since the game is open world, where people (myself included) like to explore and dick around doing random things, which is extremely fun here. The first chapter of the story is fine. There aren't any of those iconic 4 hour cutscenes this game has become known for. Most of the exposition is delivered by either Miller or Ocelot giving you a mission briefing or summary. Which kind of sucks because they actually drop some pretty important hints of future events in the story. Listen carefully after the Honey Bee mission, the Angel with Broken Wings, The Human Trafficker, and the one where you rescue two researchers. But in the moment, because of the nature of how boring it is just listening to someone talk, most people would tune it out. And because of how fun it is doing sideops and just exploring the huge sandboxes, by the time you get to the mission where it explains everything, most people would've forgotten that mission already. That's chapter 1, which is a decent chapter. Chapter two is pretty ****ty. Idk what kind of fight Konami and Kojima had over this game but goddamn it hurt this next act. It's where the game loses it's sense of direction. It's clear they cut a **** load of episodes out of the game, replacing them with earlier missions but with different modifiers like instant failure upon detection, or super hard, or starting with no weapons. Some of these can be infuriating like the one where you have to take down this sniper. They see you a millisecond after you pop your head up and kill you with one hit. Plus you have to finish most of these missions if you want to unlock the final missions. In addition, there was a whole additional chapter cut from the game as well, called "Peace". So I'm a little pissed at Konami for ruining what could've been the greatest game ever made. However, besides all those flaws, the game still manages to remain extremely enjoyable and fun, which is a testament to how good the rest of the game is. From the stealth/combat to the extremely in depth base/staff building, which is extremely in depth as ranking up your different units is key to unlocking new items. And holy **** there are a lot of things to unlock. Like power weapons to useful tools to even different uniforms which have different uses depending on where you are or what playstyle you have. There are endless ways to recruit staff as well. Completing missions will net you volunteers, but you can also extract them from the battlefield. I could go on and on about how awesome this game is, and how well everything works together. Reached my word limit.… Expand

    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.

    its a dame shame to because I know deep down in my heart that if Hideo Kojima was able to finish the game the way he wanted to it would off been a 10 out of 10 game which would off made the game of the year award extremely interesting in 2015 but because of this the Witcher 3 won it by a land mile
    now for the actual review
    I was very surprised to see how great this game turned out despite the konami,s nonsense
    its the best stealth game that I have ever played and its the very game that got me to play more stealth games before I played this game I wasn't into stealth games at all and I picked this game out only after I watched angry Joe's review on it and I didn't regret it their are 100+ weapons and gadgets to play around with
    the Fulton device was genius its my favorite gadget
    building your own private army called diamond dogs was fantastic it was also cool that u also capture enemy forces out in the battlefield than come work for you and also being able to fire who ever you want at almost any time you want the same goes for raw materials in crates gun placements and even vehicles
    most of the missions are fantastic to go through their are some that are not that good though and the repeat missions is a bit annoy but at least the extra challenge added to them make them more interesting to go through
    some bad things
    I found controlling the vehicles where really awkward which clearly shows that driving controls where not focused on to much which makes sense since your only driving like 10 to 15% of the time u can get spotted sometimes a second after you go into a corner or behind a wall which can be frustrating and also all the missing missions which I already addressed why
    my score is a 9 out of 10 some of you may only give this game an 8 since this game was unfinished from a story standpoint and the rough development cycle and I can understand that but since this is still my favorite stealth game 1 year later that's why I personally give it a 9 not because angry Joe gave it the same score
    and konami if you are reading this kojima deserved to be able to get his award from the 2015 game award stage you jerks I don't think I can ever forgive konami for doing that same on you    … Expand

    This one is going to take a while to play through. Classic Metal Gear Solid game play fused with an open world and the ability to make your own base and army. As far as game play goes this is the best in the series, It's just the story is not quite as good as in some previous entries in the series. Still a must buy game.

The game takes a LONG time to complete. If you're like me and get distracted with the vast amounts of side-ops, it can easily take 100 hours+ to complete. The only thing that prevented me giving this game a full 10 was the somewhat lacklustre plot, as well as the minimal cut scenes. Snake also barely speaks, which seems to be a total waste of hiring an actor like Kiefer Sutherland to provide the voice. Other than that, if you like open world, stealth/action/adventure games, I highly recommend purchasing it. I guarantee you won't regret it.… Expand

We've been getting a typical representative games for srubaniya money on the popularity of the franchise.Hideo Kojima always made the game worthy of attention, games that were truly art. We've learned that he can't do a checkpoint or base. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was waiting. The more she appeared not only on the console from Sony. 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

    MGS V has everything an action stealth game needs. It's like playing a good political thriller. Kojima was the beating heart of Konami. Overall rating: 9.0.

    Best stealth game ever. The game gives you so many possibilities how to clear outposts, different ways to deal with enemies and their technics. A lot of weapons and instruments. At someday enemies start to adapt to your style, so you start looking for more ways of taking them down. Also mgsv has interesting plot(especially for those who played previous games), pretty good soundtrack, andBest stealth game ever.

    The game is sooo long and it is something enjoyable, only if there were more missions and more maps or expansions, it would be better so that it can be enjoyed forever, besides being the last game where Kojima worked since Konami fired him. But I have loved this game since I first played it.

    This game is arguably one of the greatest video games of all time. The fox engine made the game look beautiful, and the new mechanics made everything so much smoother and more fun to play. The open world was a great idea for a game like this. There are many places to infiltrate with different sizes and area types (camps, oil refineries, fortresses, other player's bases, etc).

There are many places to infiltrate with different sizes and area types (camps, oil refineries, fortresses, other player's bases, etc). The story is not the best when compared to other metal gear games, but it's not as bad as some people may say. You can approach the missions in any way you want due to the open world. Stealthy, guns blazing, air strikes then move in, basically anything you can think of. the mother base building mechanic is really well made, and the same goes with the FOB invasions, where you can attack a base belonging to another player, or defend yours. The online game mode is really well designed, and is really fun to play. This game may have not been fully completed, but it is still a great game for me.… Expand

    A great stealth combat game, made irrelevant by the absence of any reason to get involved in the game.

Acho que muitos já sabem de toda confusão que teve no processo de desenvolvimento desse jogo, a briga entre Kojima e Konami resultou nesse jogo capado, muitas vezes sem graça e até mesmo monótono o suficiente pra fazer a pessoa desligar o console. Pode até ser um jogo divertido para se jogar em alguns momentos, tem algumas missões excelentes e bem acertadas mas que infelizmente todos os erros acabam se sobressaindo aos acertos, um jogo que eu não tive paciência de zerar completamente pelo motivo do segundo capítulo ter várias missões repetidas do primeiro capítulo, pra mim não vale a pena gastar meu tempo tentando fechar toda história, então deixarei com essa nota (oq eu acho suficiente para um jogo incompleto).… Expand

    It's a very good game I was played in Xbox Series S for like a 150 hours, No it's a game for all the publics the best option is to try the game and if you enjoy the game fine because the game have a very detail mecanics of gameplay and maybe no it's for all the publics, if you was played another game of the Metal Gear Solid saga and you liked it that game it's perfect for you, it's the last game of the saga and the game was maked with love, Perfect characters, Perfect Mechanics of gameplay , Perfect Story and basically Perfect but there is one thing i didn't like missions can become repetitive, This game is really made for fans of the saga and I would recommend that if it is the first time you are going to play a Metal Gear Solid you start with someone else I would recommend 3 or 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:

    - The amount of content in the game is pleasantly surprising for a shooter.

    - The stealth in the game is inventive. There are many different approaches which can be taken in assaulting an area. from guns blazing, to non-fatal, to extracting everyone and everything.

    - The story is a continuation from Ground Zeroes and the previous Metal Gear games. It adds depth to already established characters such as Ocelot and Liquid Snake.

    - The FOB multiplayer implemented is surprisingly good. For a campaign focused single-player game, the FOB Assault multiplayer is impressive. It uses soldiers and defenses you've captured / researched from singleplayer and implements a style similar to the game 'Meet Your Maker'.

    - It feels like it does a good job of encapsulating major concerns during the cold war without being overly political. From nuclear threats, to chemical warfare, to mercenaries in Africa, to technological warfare.

    Cons:

    The ending did feel sudden and unfinished, mainly (from what i've heard) because it was. The plan was to have another mission which resolved the Eli / Pyscho Mantis arc but unfortunately this was not finalised.    … Expand

    It's a game that leaves a lot to be desired. It's definitely not a game that proves its worth with a 95-point score.

    With The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear has had its arm removed and replaced with something technically far more impressive.

    Kojima managed to create the perfect open-world stealth game, giving the player an incredible freedom coupled with great depth and variety. MGS fans will probably dislike its sparse and somewhat unsatisfying storytelling, but it undoubtedly is a masterwork of game design.

    Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain is an interactive piece of art that truly pays homage to the original game and successfully expands the franchise into an open-world game.
