Taking place nine years after the events of MGSV: Ground Zeroes and the fall of Mother Base, Snake a.k.a. Big Boss, awakes from a near decade-long coma. The game resumes the story in 1984, with the Cold War still as the backdrop, which continues to shape a global crisis. Snake’s journey takes him into a world where he is driven by a need for revenge and the pursuit of a shadow group, XOF.
In an era of buggy broken "AAA" games, this game's a godsend. What a 'fan' of the series may think, I cannot care. As a game, its on par with games like the Witcher 3 and that's all that matters. Also given how absurdly optimized it is, you may well think it could hit 60fps on a calculator. If you have the remotest of interest in an open world game set in modern times, you have no excuse to skip this game.
I can't believe 2 things.
1. It's on PC.
2. The game very optimized.
When I saw trailers on YT and minimum requirements on steam I was certain I will not be able to play it. But it turns out to my surprise the game is unbelievably well optimized, this is how PC game should be made, new graphics should be new good visuals and less system demanding. So instead of need for some monster machine to run it, you can play it on low budget PC (it doesn't mean it will run on very old PCs)
About game, wow this game has lots of stuff to offer. You got weapon and character customization. Not advanced customization, it's simple unlocking of better weapons, gear. But you can do missions in stealth or go full loud. Use vehicles or not. You can use hand to hand combat or tranquilizer gun or assault rifle or rocket launcher or sniper rifle or command your buddy to eliminate your enemy. The game is so well design and gameplay is simple and addictive. You got "free roam" option, you have side mission, you have ability to customize your base, your men. Wow so many things to do. Don't plan to finish this game in one afternoon, it's impossible. When comes to missions, there are lot of them. Now if you would "grind" and only play story missions, then I suppose you could finish it in one day. But then that would be not fun at all. Great game and what's even greater, it's on PC !!!
So far the best MGS, you could even look at it as MGS:Peace Walker for PC. As for the story, Hideo Kojima always brought to you a great stories. Not to worry there :)
I've always been impressed by the Metal Gear Solid series, and this is no exception.
MGSV definitely has a slightly different feel to it than previous installments, but that need not be a bad thing.
Superb graphics and good gameplay makes this a favourite of mine.
9/10
It is
THE BEST OPEN WORLD GAME on MANY Ways !
I Dream about an 1880s Old West Mod since many thinks are already there to make that Project
The second half of the game is just a blatant rehash of the first half but a bit harder. Also the ending is missing and some major plot points are axed early on.
Basically it's a three-act game, but the second act is an extended version of the first act, and the third act is missing entirely.
And I hope you like audio logs, because 90% of the story is found there.
