From the man who sold the world
This fucking game man. Its such a hodgepodge of so many great things and so many bad things. The gameplay is fantastic and honestly some of the most fun I've had in an open world game I have no gripes against that. Yet the story is such a mess, some of it hidden in cassette tapes and the whole story just gets super unstructured after the 2nd chapter. But I still really like the story and the characters (for the most part). The Man Who Sold The World was such a perfect song choice for this game. I love how that ending just ties together the whole series like a nice bow.

garbage story, boring open world. Probably the best feeling 3rd person shooter of all time though.
Exceptionnel
Quiet is one of the characters of all time.
Probably the best stealth gameplay of all time, it's perfect and gives the player so many options in how to tackle every mission and outpost. Generally, the story isn't nearly as good as the games before it, but there are still some absolutely heart-wrenching moments.
Öncelikle şunu söyleyim ben bu oyun serisini emülatörle neredeyse hiç bir bilgim olmadan başladım. İyikide oynamışım. İlk oyunları anlaması her açıdan biraz zor. Hiç uğraşmayıp youtubeden izlemenizi tavsiye ederim. Onun dışında oynanış arayanlar metal gear 5 ve metal gear Revengeance dışı pek istediklerini bulamayacaklardır. Oyun değil film oynar gibisiniz sanki. Ama her şeyi bir kenara atarsak oyunun senaryosu kesinlikle tek başına bu seriye bir şans vermeye yetecektir.
Great Stealth game. Disappointing half-baked story.
Kojima é pica
This review contains spoilers
i’m not kidding when i say it’s taken me 2 fucking years to beat this game, i bought it back in 2022 for 3 quid, and proceeded to play about 45 hours, i then promptly forgot about it and didn’t pick it up until about 2ish months ago, i played from the start of the first vocal chord parasite outbreak to the man who sold the world and i enjoyed every single minute
I played it like a goddamn fiddle!
This game kinda sucks until the last 10 hours
probably the most perfect stealth game out there
probably the most perfect stealth game out there
Skipping two games and try to piece up the story maybe wasn't the brightest idea
Um bom jogo, mas com aquele sentimento de que está faltando algo, parece incompleto.
As a big fan of the old Konami and Hideo Kojima's work, I could never have missed the fifth installment, even if I joined the party late.
In short, I would describe this game as the Dark Souls 2 of Metal Gear Solid: a great game, but it leaves a bitter taste after playing it.
This title is an excellent stealth and third-person shooter game, the gameplay is still unreached and masterfully done, so much so that years after, when correcting this review, one of the biggest games on the market right now is Helldivers 2, which takes a lot of fundamentals of MGS:V when it comes to movement, and, rightfully so, feels amazing to play.
The tactical freedom and openness of the game give a lot of ways and alternatives even when facing the same level/mission, there is more than one approach to a problem, and it's fun to play around.
While there are many stealth/action games out there, none have been the same perfect combination MGS:V is.
Graphically the game is stunning and has been made into an engine that was being developed only for it, but it does not waste performance, instead uses clever tricks to save some, i.e. Snake's shoulder being more detailed on the side you're looking at.
An engine so advanced and well-made that Konami kept using it for many of their games.
It's a game optimized for the gods, with my counter never dropping under 60fps, even with my not-extremely-powerful hardware.
There is almost somewhat of a managerial part to the game, having you manage resources, bases, soldiers, etc. It features several ways to keep you playing in singleplayer. In addition, the multplayer Forward Operating Base (or F.O.B.) mode is a Clash of Clans-style make your base, then invade your enemies' mode that is quite entertaining.
There is a lot to do!
The plot is as expected fantastic, especially when talking about the Prologue and Chapter 1. Unfortunately, half of the game is missing. The game was supposed to have 3 chapters and of the 2nd one, we only received a third of it at best. There is an ending to the game, but because this is a prequel, it's obvious that the game is incomplete.
I wasn't aware of this until playing it, but it was especially confusing when, randomly, the game started presenting alternative or copy-pasted missions with a challenging objective as part of the normal story missions, clearly, meant as fillers. The missions even have the dialogues turned on, with Snake repeating the same dialogues from a different point of the story.
The game has an ending, but it's not what you expect and not what it should be. Sadly it's possible to sense that the problems between Kojima and Konami have influenced this authorial work.
News since have revealed that Konami had isolated Kojima completely from his team for months[gamerant.com], pushing the release of the game earlier[www.theverge.com] to keep costs together while aiming more for the mobile gaming market[gameranx.com].
Even though the finances of Konami, in general, had been going down, MGS:V Ground Zeroes, prologue of the V, had sold 1 million copies quickly[www.gamespot.com], basically paying for more than a third of the final development cost of V[www.ibtimes.co.uk], lastly trying to crashgrab on the series' name with a disappointing Survival game[www.metacritic.com].
The game is still an excellent purchase, as you can see from the hours I put in it, and it offers plenty of fun and challenge.
Unfortunately, as a fan of the series, I have to say that this game, however great it still might be, what it really did was show me the potential of what it could have been.
And that is why my vote is so low.
I am disappointed Konami was not willing to invest into finishing the product when this is what they had in their hands.
The game has MANY positives, but it's unfinished, and as long as you can look past that, I strongly suggest it!
6/10

Hikayesi ve yarım kalması pek sikimde değil. Oynadığım en iyi stealth oyunu. Bunu oynayınca diğerlerine yazık oluyor
Absolute cinema
Even with its flaws, this game kicks some serious ass. It's story is one of the best of the decade, and has some of the best gameplay in the Metal Gear series. The biggest flaws are of course at the start of chapter 2. Re-used missions with either a higher difficulty or some modifiers, although has one of the best ending cutscenes in gaming history. The soundtrack accompanying it makes it even better.
Konami sont des meurtriers
