Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.

Dear MGS V,
Why does a wolf need a knife to kill people? Are you being cheeky?

I'm still REALLY upset about Konami owing the 3rd chapter. I expect them to at least have the decency of releasing it as dlc.

I have a feeling I'm going to put at least 200 hours plus into this game. Haven't done that in quite a few years.

A goddamned shame, this one. Tedious, devoid of story. What little is there contains more magic bullshit that has crept into the series. Pyromancers and the like. Barf. I'm 5 hours in with nary a codec message or reason for doing what I'm doing. Shoehorned in, too, is the same "build a base with recruits" mobile game mechanic we've seen …

A goddamned shame.
