Forums - Gaming - Metal Gear Solid V: First Review

Mirson on 20 August 2015

A little worrying about the side-missions and being mandatory, but I'm glad they praised the gameplay. It was ace in Ground Zeroes unlike MGS4's.

So :

- The prologue, the first hours are excellent,very good atmosphere, discovering gameplay richness with high quality level design is really fun, the OST fits well to the situations.

- Then the game becomes more and more repetitive, boring because of the open world not really mastered, a diluted narration and the gameplay system breaking the rythm.

- They didnt like being forced to complet a lot of side repetitive missions to progress in the main story ( that's why i compared it to Xenoblade X )

- The game lacks of variety, they felt the open world wasnt exploited at all. ( they compare with recent open world games like Batman and TW3 to say this one feels really limited in comparison )

- Cinematics are very rare, the script is vague even until the end

- Those who liked Peace Walker should like this one

- The main story takes 50h ( including all the obligatory side missions )

- MGS V is still fascinating despite all these flaws



Pretty much this

Sigh

They're not mandatory in Xenoblade.

They gave the same score to MGSIV.

The graphics comments show the ignorance of the reviewer:

"We have seen better graphics" well, yes at 30fps without being open world? Duh.

Graphics are simply the best we have ever seen on console at 60fps in an open world game.


Well he is not totally wrong though, the game would have been much prettier without cross gen versions



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

They are mandatory in Xenoblade ( on Wii U) , not all obviously but a lot like in MGS V if you want to progress in the story

Does that mean 7 out of 10? I'm confused. xD

Divide 17/20 by 2 and you get 8.5/10


Ah nice.

I hope MGS online is good.

"cinematics are very rare"? Is Kojima kidding me? I'm not going to buy this crap if it's 40 hours of gameplay with some cutscenes thrown in. MGS3 already pushed the edge for as far as having way too much of a gameplay to cutscene ratio and it seems like this MGS just altogether ignores the series very core.

If it's true, and I have no reason to not believe the reviewer than Kojima has royally screwed his fanbase. What a betrayal.

That's because it's rooted in reality. If you were a covert mercenary, sneaking into a heavily armed based filled with hundreds of well trained soldiers, you're going to want to sneak in, get your intel, and then get the hell out of there. You're not going to want to be noticed and killing anyone is going to compromise that.


I guess you will just have to complete it first and play a second time however you want.


It's a stealth franchise genius.
