I bought this full price on day 1 on PS4 with no metal gear experience because I am a rube and a sucker for punishment lol

I think all the scold top reviews for this game are embarrassing and other words the admins will not let me say, and I have been known to like some truly cynical and evil works (Pain & Gain is a masterpiece) and fiction is not reality and blah blah blah, but to be honest with you I don't think I ever want to experience mean spirited Kojima ever again, even IF it's incredibly based that he made a triple-A game that lets you gun down/stab/blow up everyone who ever worked at Gitmo. It's such a discordant work to the game before and after it which is fascinating in a sense but it's narrative anger sticks out like a sore thumb when 10 hours later in The Phantom Pain you're firing your arm as a rocket and knocking people out in one hit.

Unfortunately this is the only part of Metal Gear Solid V that has actual level design and art direction so you WILL be subject to The Twisted Mind Of Hideo Kojima.
