    I Kinda Miss The Linear/Narrative Driven Gameplay...I Was Always A Fan Of The Long Cutscenes...Truthfully This Feels Like Abuncha Training Missions ....The Audiotapes Are Not A Good Replacement For Actual Visuals...Love The Gameplay....I Haven't Even Encountered An Actual Boss I Just Ran Away From Them Gas Skulls A Few Episodes Back....
    Its Obvious Kojima Listened To All Whiny Fans Who Complained About The Long Videos In Previous Games But He Didn't Have Go To This Extreme....I'm Still Early In Game But Based On The Reviews I've Read The Story Is Pretty Bare Bones

    I'm An Impatient Gamer So I've Never Really Like Stealth Games ...That Why I Always Sucked At Splinter Cell...But Have Always Been A Fan MGS Since The OG PSX Joint...It Allows You Run And Gun If Thats The Way You Wanna Play Without Penalizing You nh....

    I Still Got Black OPS 3 In The Wrapper And Plan On Getting Fallout 4 But It Looks Like I'll Be Playing This For Awhile Maybe Even Longer Than Arkham Asylum

    Co-sign the linear narrative...

    Even Codec convo's are missed, the tapes are a cool concept but fall a little flat...

    Paid Jack Bauer all that cash and he don't speak all that much...

    I'm bout 1/2 way through story missions done a lot of side stuff, had it day one but have since put it down for Dragon Age: Inquisition. I will come back eventually as it is really fun just not very MGS like...

    If you are playing this game but have other games on standby, you may as well move on now. I love the metal gear series but there's not much payoff to completing this game. And if you try to sell games when you're done (I do), this game will be $35 new on black Friday. Best sell it while you can. Got $40 for mine Tuesday.

    I Only Paid 10 Bucks For It With The Vouchers From @HarlemNY Don't Get Me Wrong It's Not A Wack Game But The Story Left Alot To Be Desired...I'm Gonna Finish It Like I Did The With Earlier Games...I Got Fallout 4 Also For The Backlog

    Just Beat This ? And Got The True Ending.....Here's A Few Thoughts

    • Game Of The Year For Sure
    • Ocelot Is ? And He Has They ? For Venom Snake/Big Boss nh
    • The Boss Battles Weren't Ass ILL As In Past Games The Parasite Units Were Underwhelming
    • Quiet Is My Computer Love/E-Bae And Possibly My Favorite Female Video Game Character Of All-Time Sorry Resident Evil Bishes...Ol Gurl Was So Ride Or Die..She Was So Well Written And Haunting

    Her Fate Had Me Like

    After Ground Zeroes I knew this game was going in the wrong direction, which is why I never bought it and I looked at the ending online and knew it was some BS just so Koji could move on from Konami.

    This. All of this.

    The gameplay is straight up and down some GOAT candidate ? . Even more than halfway through, it's amazing from gameplay and storytelling. Then it stops and blindsides you with backtracking, side quests, and tapes... mounds and mounds of tapes.

    It would have made much more sense to replace the tapes with some kind cut scene you can trigger on mother base. You come back from a mission and you could have Ocelot, Miller, and other characters all have they own private quarters. Even Snake could of had one. You go in there, look at all the cool character details of they living area, select a conversation, and the game cuts to a cinema. Could of even just been a slide show using that lead artist they've always had for MGS, I like his style.

    But instead, we got what we got for all the reasons that probably are.

    I spent like an hour plus looking for them when I first got to Motherbase. I was like, "All this space, the detail in their rooms is about to be crazy!"

    I think kojima did that bc ppl complained about cut scenes being too long in previous games (5-8 hrs in total for some not including game play)

    Then u can listen while u play. I got used to it n didnt mind it. Theres a lot of interesting info in those tapes that adds to the story we've all complained the game supposedly lacks. It really just lacks visuals to the story we hear in the tapes is all.

    This is true, ironically.

    I recently got back into playing. Discovered that completing mission 46 allows you to play the game and all cut scenes as your avatar. Also found out that my FOB has been getting attacked the entire time I've been playing without my knowledge. Those points Invested in my defense has paid off. Infiltraters been getting handled left and right and I ain't never had to handle it personally, yet. GMP is way easier to get, last two weeks I ain't never had less than a mill.
