I have been with this game franchise since the beginning. The first 3 games are hands my favorite games of all time. Matter of fact I basically don't play video games anymore unless it is one of these 3. (On a side note I just recently replayed and finished MGS3). But Metal Gear Solid V the phantom pain seriously sucks wart covered donkey dicks.
Fuck this shit pain in the ass game. I bought it the day of release and thought the same thing. Let it sit on my shelf the last couple of years and decided let me give this another shot today. What a huge mistake. It was exaclty as unfun an experience as the last time I played it.
I have multiple complaints about this:
1. Looking at the map/weapons/items happens in real time. Basically the guards can see you while you are trying to figure things out. it is a pain in the ass trying to figure shit out and getting spotted like this.
2. All the controls have changed a lot. Everything is different. MGS4 changed it up to but it wasnt so drastic. I am sure if you actually play this game you will get used to it but I feel like it is not MGS.
3. No David Hayter. I realize I am late to the party on this. But David Hayter is snake. That is what made snake so cool having that kurt russel escape from LA sounding voice. I immediately made that connection when I played the first game back in the PS1 days.
4. Cant Save whenever you want. Now the game automatically saves and creates a checkpoint where you have the option to restart from. I guess I can live out the codec saving but I would like to save when I want.
5. This is basically just a bigger graphically improved peace walker. And its all the same game. Majority of the missions are you have to infiltrate some village and get some sort of item/free a prisoner/or kill some enemy CO. Its all the same repetitive shit over and over. I miss it when it was one gigantic level and you are in for a good 7 to 8 hours of gameplay and cutscenes. On a side note kojima borrowed so many concepts from metal gear 2 to use for metal gear solid that it looked like MGS1 was a remake of MG2. TPP is a remake of the PW.
6. It is so big it is easy to get lost. You get dropped off and have to travel to where you are supposed to go. So basically is like 30 miles of running/galloping to the villiage you are supposed to infiltrate. I ran all over the map for an hour until I said fuck this bullshit.
7. This isnt fun. I know alot of people are pro gamers and shit and are automatically no alerting these games on day 1. I am not like that. I played the fuck out of the first 4 MGS games to get a no alert run. I had to practice to really get decent. Yeah I fucked up on the way to getting decent but it wasnt so frustrating as to make me think it is not worth it or impossible. MGSV was making me so miserable I turned the game off the middle of the mission after about an hour. I got spotted a lot and I got lost in the middle of the woods trying to get my prisoner on the helicopter. Honestly fuck this game.
Bottom line it is MGS to me in name only. The other games even though they all gradually changed over time with improvements/changes etc but this is so drastically different that I cant even consider an MGS game. Again fuck this game. I was so pissed I considered flinging the game disc out the window like a frisbee.
