Why You Should Play Metal Gear Solid 5 (The Phantom Pain) 

This game is almost 10 year old and it’s still more technically advanced than any Ubisoft game released since then.

Kids bashed this game for being "incomplete" and having a lackluster story but, as Max Derrat said, a bad MGS story is still better than most, and Kojima already stated he is satisfied with the final product. So, once you acknowledge that and forget about a single missing mission and you just indulge in going from outpost to outpost clearing secondary missions while listening to the lore tapes or blasting Kojima's playlist, ordering your dog to send downed soldiers into a blackhole, having a fanservice sniper girl covering you with precise aiming and clearing out everyone for you, charging a fucking LIGHTING STORM from your robotic arm to take out everyone in an instant, then getting hit with some of the darkest moments in a videogame... man, you have a blast.

The 3D MGS games are really fun, the details all over the place showed the love from the team for making games, Kojima and his team gave us the best games imo. Is great to see more love for this game, the sandbox gameloop is endless, there is always something silly, cool, brutal or just fun to do.

I hate this game despite loving MGS1,2,3 and 4.

Phantom pain is so underrated of a metal gear game. The gameplay was a masterpiece and story was fantastic in every way just not in the usual metal gear way.

I love how as goofy as this game can be, at times it can get shockingly serious. There are several parts I have in mind but there is one mission in particular late in the game (you probably can guess which) where I had to take a break afterward and clear my head

Kojima really dropped his nuts on the industry when he cooked this mgs up!

i remember getting this game on sale back as a 13 year old who had no interest in stealth action games or story driven games for the most part and ended up dropping it because my goldfish attention span found it quite boring. as a now adult man i find myself on the opposite end of that train of thought, not only did it get me invested in the MGS series and led me to playing all other 5 mainline games, i just cannot stop thinking about them and specifically MGSV even half a year after experiencing them for the first time, weakest in the series story wise for sure but no game/series in recent memory besides maybe cyberpunk and persona 5 has sucked me in with it’s world, atmosphere, music, era, characters, and gameplay. it all comes together and creates this perfect mix that has something to offer for almost everyone. god bless Hideo Kojjma for revitalizing my love and drive for video games that i had felt i was losing for a few years now, and for creating one of the greatest game series i’ve ever had the majesty of experiencing.

"Extremely realist and capable" In the MGSV Community Often times its normal to Increase the AI Vision to 200% and hearing to 200% because they are literally Blind and death 95% of the time. What is realistic is that if you dont do things cleanly they will react and become harder. the more you ghost the easier the game will be

Since MGSV came out I put over 1300 hours into the game. The gameplay does not get old.. ever.

Crazy to think this Phantom Pain has been out almost a decade... Have not felt such hype and pure enjoyment from many games since.

kojima after being forced to work in a different room and not being able to see his employees for the last six months of development of mgsV (dont worry he added boob physics to quiet)

In my opinion, this is the best stealth game. It will be a very long time I think before anything even touches it

Before Mgs 5 my favorite games were Far Cry 5 and Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Great video, man.

Im semi new to the franchise i played msg4 out off curiosity but my younger teenage self couldn't appreciate it im 31 now saw the trailer for msg 3 remake im like this looks amazing bought 5 at a discount holy hell the crazyness the gameplay the depth off mechanics the variety off weapons and tools its so good

Jist picked this up again last week funnily enough.

Gameplay of this game is insane! Personally, I prefer MGS3 and peace walker for the narrative. But this game is insanity when you have so much customisation. I'm replaying MGS3 right now. But I'm thinking about downloading this again.

The story of this game only hits you and becomes meaningful if you have played and connected with the story of the previous games. The delivery of the story of MGS V isn't as good as the previous MGS games but the story itself is absolutely phenomenal.

this is my favorite stealth game gameplay wise i still play it whenever I want to play something fun, it's basically my comfort game , the optimization and the gameplay loop is really addicting, don't get me wrong game the game have it's fair share of problems and I do think 3 is way ahead in terms of story my favorite but I still love this game and the story
