Go go Metal Gear!!!

Huh. Metal Gear Solid 2 is having some fierce competition right now. I'm curious to see if V will reign on top when every review is in!

Heavy Gear Solid V :The Phantom Menace Review - (Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right Circle / X)

You can buy the game in stores around the world today if you got lucky.

It broke the street date.

My long-standing review site for MGS games (www.4players.de) is probably going to rate it an 78-84% in their near finished review, eventhough it's a different editor than the one I always trusted in, it's making me a bit disappointed. It'll probably affect the score.

"Long-standing", as in, they've been reading reviews from the site for quite awhile and know what to expect from the review staff. Granted, it isn't as if a reviewer doesn't periodically throw a curveball that no regular readers were expecting, but it sounds like this particular site can be a bit critical.

@BraLoD

They were mentioning the score to be settled in that range.

@LuckyTrouble

They certainly are critical and well known / hated for it. I would have just loved to see the verdict of the editor who used to review MGS games, as I always felt he's playing (and feeling) the MGS series the way they are meant to be played (despite all the flaws, they voted MGS4 as the game of the year back then). So, seeing all these great scores all around the world and then have "my" site calling MGS5 "a big disappointment" in their very first sentence of the verdict just swept away my excitment a bit.

BraLoD said: And today as well Seems like the early reviews already came, will have to expect until September 1st for more

It seems that way. But Polygon made this review yesterday not on Metacritic yet.

soooooo.......

Never played MGS. Well I played a little of 1 and 4 but did not get into it.

Will I be able to jump into this one? In the past I hated stealth games but the past 2-3 years I have started to get decently good at them.

Well, you can kill everyone if you want. If there's no one alive, no one can ring the alarm!
