Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It offers players new sneaking and traversal methods compared to its predecessors, as well as the choice in what order the story events take place by selecting missions by advance. The most important change for this title is the shift to an open world design with a real-time day and night cycle doing away with the linear mission approach of previous games. The game was originally developed as a mission for The Phantom Pain, but an extended development time resulted in director Hideo Kojima splitting the specific portion of the game as a stand-alone product so that players could get early access to Metal Gear Solid V.

Finished main mission on normal

Final thoughts:

There's not much to say here considering the game is more of a 1 hour MGS:V demo. The mechanics definitely feel more modern compared to the PS1/2 era of MGS titles, even though I found the main mission to actually be quite challenging especially for the final segment.

Finished main mission on normal

Final thoughts:

There's not much to say here considering the game is more of a 1 hour MGS:V demo. The mechanics definitely feel more modern compared to the PS1/2 era of MGS titles, even though I found the main mission to actually be quite challenging especially for the final segment. It's nice (and quite tragic!) to see the cast of MGS: Peace Walker return, and if the purpose of this game is to get me hyped to play MGS:V it sure did it.

Except for Snake's new voice actor. It's just not the same without David Hayter. What happened here?

Completed 56%. I got this for "free" on xbox gold. I listened to all the story tapes before actually playing and that gave the events in the final cutscenes some serious emotional weight. I was shocked. I did poorly at the game at first, getting E ratings due to screwing up stealth and getting into fire fights. I did every side op and then everything in reverse order on Hard. By then I was getting B ratings. Higher than that is probably not going to happen because my idea of stealth is dead people can't see or hear you. I did get the XOF and tape collectibles, and beat both Vu side ops on Hard. The most fun was getting in the IFV and slaughtering the entire base. The most memorable moment was after killing several soldiers in a loud fire fight I was laying on my back in some bushes. 4 soldiers walked by searching for me, so close that I could reach out and touch them. I thought there was no way they would not see me so I pointed my gun at them. The lead guy walked past and then came the 3 behind, all of whom seen me, surrendered and dropped their guns. 3 suppressed headshots while the lead soldier was still walking away on the radio with HQ telling them that they did not find anything. I waited for him to finish the call and shot him in the back of the head.

I had a lot of fun with this and am looking forward to Phantom Pain next. The game is extremely well made with an impressive amount of content, for a demo. Even getting this for "free" I kind of feel ripped off because a different full game could have been offered instead. If this was free from the get go it could compete for the title of best demo ever. Even being sold for like $5 at release would be reasonable. What actually happened was a scandal.

Finished all of the missions, even Deja Vu and Jamais Vu. Not 100% though (not a completionist right here!). I really liked the gameplay of this thing, can't wait for The Phantom Pain, good thing theres still a PS3 version. Too broke to buy a PS4.

What happened to Paz really was a shock. A really great game with realllly good graphics for a PS3 game. Just finished the main campaign, still thinking if I should do the side ops.

A friend bought MGSV Ground Zeros on PS4 and we played it today. They said it was short but man, I didn't think it'd be that short. Haven't done any of the extras, so maybe that'll be good. Mostly bummed at the lack of story. Was hoping for some wacky Kojima nonsense that I could speculate about, but there's not …

A friend bought MGSV Ground Zeros on PS4 and we played it today. They said it was short but man, I didn't think it'd be that short. Haven't done any of the extras, so maybe that'll be good. Mostly bummed at the lack of story. Was hoping for some wacky Kojima nonsense that I could speculate about, but there's not that much yet. Again, maybe those extras and unlockables will pan out to be what I want.
