I found her character arch to be, one of the better cinematic moments of the game. As much as critics hate Quiet (Voiced by Stefanie Joosten)'s comically oversexualized. That being said, there's still plenty of room for the series' trademark humor. The tale of Big Boss' face/heel turn covers some pretty heavy subjects, like race, revenge, child soldiers, cold blooded torture, body horror and rape. This is easily the darkest Metal Gear story yet so it could had work. Just wish it was a little more compelling. While, the overall story is pretty interesting, it still lacks the emotional powerful thematic elements compare to the other games. Honestly, if you haven't played, Ground Zeroes or any of the previous games, you will certainly get lost in this story. I just wish it, it was just part of this game, rather than its own separate game. Can Snake find the men that nearly killed him or will the men that nearly destroy him, usher a new age from the ashes of the Cold War? Play the game to find out! Without spoiling the game, too much, I have to say, I like the continuation of the narrative established in Ground Zeroes.
Set in 1984, the game follows the mercenary leader Big Boss AKA Punished "Venom" Snake (Voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) as he ventures into a new war during the Cold War to exact revenge on the people who destroyed his forces and came close to killing him during the climax of Ground Zeroes. It serves as a sequel to 2014's Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes & a prequel to the original Metal Gear game released in 1987.

Great game, not the best ever, but great one.ĭeveloped by Kojima Productions, directed, designed, co-produced and co-written by Hideo Kojima, and published by Konami this adventure stealth video game is the eleventh canonical and final installment in the Metal Gear series and the fifth within the series' chronology. Overall, whether you have played just one Metal Gear Solid game before or none, The Phantom Pain" is a must play to everyone, because everyone will find here something he will love. because everything else in this game rocks. but that is it, it kinda useless to bring whole stuff up there - or maybe i'm wrong but at this point i'm completed 64% of game - i finished main story and i'm at about 82% of side missions but still there was no effect of bringing all stuff to mother base except soldiers.
After collecting lots of stuff to mother base like gun turrets, emplacement, tanks guns and so on, it kinda don't have any real payoff at mother base except that security unit gets more points. Mother base was also very cool thing, but i have 1 complaint. Story was good, but since the only Metal Gear game i have played before was 1st part (back in 1998), i didn't understood lots of characters, but that is not a problem, there are plenty of greatly voiced tapes which you can listen even during missions which are informative. Graphics are gorgeous, game play is amazing. Controls are amazing, it is not even boring to run trough the open world maps on your foot. It has tons of action, sneaking, hiding, crouching and etc. Hands down this is one of the most addictive games i have played in a very long while. "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" (2015) is truly an amazing experience.
