Metal Gear Solid V �Epic isn't a big enough word.


[link to this post]
 
So last night at around 9pm i could not resist firing up MGS5 and giving it a go based on the glowing reviews and the anticipation i had for this game.

This is not a review as the game has so many hours in it that would be impossible.

Lets just say a started it at 9pm and the introduction and titles for the game started at 10.10pm after playing the prologue which took just over 1 hour.

The game oozes class and it has to be one of the best looking games i have witnessed in a long long time,amazing graphics and amazing gameplay and i have just about got to mission 1 which i still haven't done.

The way its presented is Uncharted levels and this has to be a contender for Game of the year even if i have only played it for about 3 hours,one thing for sure can not wait until later today to put it back on.wink

A absolutely amazing game we have here and right up there in my all time top 10 games of the past decade for sure.

Don't ask me to explain the story as it makes little to no sense unless your a MGS fanatic and i never really have been.

But this game is right along side Uncharted in presentation and gameplay and being its a stealth type game which is not exactly my favourite style for it to even be considered in my top 10 says it all.

Anyone that has a PS4 or Xbox One should own this Gem wink

Too stealthy for me. I get bored and then start shooting which ends up with me being dead

Glad you like it though. Have fun

Checkout what you can do in this game

You may change your mind ?

I don't generally like MGS games that much,but when they are of this standard then to me its a no brainer and I'm actually really having a amazing time with the game and absolute love it.

Its a tad complicated at times and can prove difficult when a small army is chasing you,but thats were my FPS skills come into play and my run and gun prefference against Stealth tactics.

You can shoot them with the tranquilliser gun and also sneak up on them and put them in a neck hold,and if all that fails and you get spotted like i do most of the time then its a all guns blazing scenario which will also do the trick.

Don't be fooled into thinking its all about stealth of which it is well known for ?

You can take the Nelly approach if you like but on occasions it may be a little overpowering if you haven't dealt with sentries and other lookouts wink

Of course technically speaking, I never "approach".

I just bowl in like I own the place...

Which is precisely what happened to me playing Ground Zeroes, so I gave up after an hour!

Possible Game of the year for me now Uncharted 4 has been put back to next year.

Mind you Bloodborne has been another special game for me even though they are so far apart in terms of the type of game they are.

Funny thing is i have never ever been a avid fan of Metal Gear games but this game draws you in has you fully involved and immersed like no other and believe me when i tell you it literally oozes class and production wise there isn't much to beat it.

You would be a fool to leave this game and not give it some of your dedicated time and effort,i didn't like Ground Zero either and i soon gave up,but for some reason since i started playing it i just can not wait until later in the evening to play it for 3/4 hours again and i haven't even touched the surface of this masterpiece.

Only about once maybe twice a year does a game have that hold on me and this MGS5 certainly does that.

Market Drayton isn't that bad, plenty of real ale pubs and the Joules brewery. Now if you had said Wem, I would have agreed tongue

Haven't played Metal Gear, not touched a game in over 6 months hence not visiting this forum much. Hoping to get back into gaming now I have some other things out of the way so I am planning on getting this or Mad Max over the weekend, I am torn between the two! I loved MGS 1 on the PS1 but haven't played many of them since. Mad Max looks like a bit of mindless fun and I haven't really played anything like that so think it will be a good change.

Mad Max is a decent enough game,the sort of game you can play for an hour or so then revisit some days later.

On the other hand MGS5 is of epic proportions and has way more content and requires a lot of time invested in this superb game.

I played Until Dawn and Mad Max briefly and i enjoyed both of them,but i was so curious to take a peak at MGS5 and to be fair i just want to play that all the time as it has me totally hooked.

And the funny thing is I'm not really a avid fan of MGS and stealth games in general ,but now I'm older and wiser tongue I'm really enjoying it.

What do people think to Chapter 2? Seems its just filler missions tagged on but with strict conditions to meet. Part of the fun of MGS is doing missions in different ways but now its been removed
