La historia está muy mal contada porque como no te escuches los 50 casetes no te enteras, el villano del juego es superfluo y sin personalidad alguna y Quiet es un personaje horrible cuya finalidad es estar sexualizado. Hay realmente 8 misiones que merecen la pena, el resto es mata a este, recoge lo otro o destruye aquello, por lo que podrían ser perfectamente secundarias. Lo único que se salva de este juego es el sistema de progreso y la jugabilidad, que a mi parecer están muy bien diseñados. En general me ha gustado.

Easily one of my favorite games ever now. The gameplay was addicting and I surprisingly seldom found myself bored. Easily has the best gameplay in the mgs series. I also liked the base management aspect, and it was really fun to build up Diamond Dogs. My only main issues are that I felt the story was too short but even so there were so many great moments. And the ending was probably the 2nd/best ending in the 4 mg games I’ve played. Really want to play peace walker now but it’s not really available.

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

"Hurrrm, Colonel....

'I'm fulton extracting this soldier with a C4 strapped to his back, then waiting until he's high up in the air, then detonating the C4. That'll show these commie bastards not to mess with the Diamond Dogs!"

Unfortunately for a series like Metal Gear Solid which has incredibly interesting and well thought-out stories that have left me something to think about by the time it's finished, the story for MGSV is incredibly lackluster and most of the time feels completely disconnected from what I'm doing in missions and I believe this stems from the open-world design, as you'll so easily go between Mother Base or Afghanistan/Africa it feels like there's no pressure to get my job done, sure this Skull Face guy is making a Metal Gear with no known motivation, but I'd rather go mine collecting with D-Dog.

I find this game is just missing a lot of the usual narrative flare, since there's no big revelation or master plan that changes how you saw your actions throughout the game, and whilst I do think The Man Who Sold The World is a good twist and it did feel like a good pay-off for playing through the whole game for 50+ hours, it doesn't really change my perspective on how I experienced the game, and feels like a weaker version of MGS2's twists. When you get to the end of chapter 1 you think "is that it?" as by that time Skull Face has done nothing except talk to himself in the back of a car for 10 minutes and then lose control of everything, which is a shame because Ground Zeroes makes him seem incredibly menacing, but in reality has no presence and is nowhere near the level of Liquid, Solidus or Volgin. Chapter 2 is where I could physically feel the game run out of steam, as you've already completed your main objective, and all you get is repeated content which is made harder, or story content and resolutions which you have to grind towards, which isn't right as you shouldn't have to grind a game like MGS just to see how it truly ends, and was also a problem I had with Peace Walker and made me stop playing.

However, on the other end of the spectrum, the gameplay in MGSV is without a doubt the best in the series and saved the whole game for me. When you look at MGS2 on the PS2 and see how much interactivity and small features that game had, it's really no surprise that this game was able to do what the PS2 was capable of tenfold, as not only is the core gameplay flawless, but due to the amount of weapons, items and buddies at your disposal it adds so many possibilities for creatively making your way through a mission, and can appeal to a variety of gameplay types. I found the Mother Base management really fun this time compared to how lame it felt in PW, as fultoning enemies and watching my base grow felt so satisfying to see my progress grow and earn better rewards, and being able to actually visit Mother Base instead of just look at it through a menu, it all just felt a lot more streamlined and less of a chore to do.

Overall, whilst I think the story quality is far from what I'd expected from a game in this series and is pretty pointless (especially how it feels like a way to explain away a 'plothole' in Metal Gear 1) I find it hard to have any negative feelings toward this game as the gameplay is so much fun that it made me put more time into MGSV than the first 3 MGS games combined, and not once was I bored whilst playing. This game is definitely worth playing if you're a fan of the other games, at least just to see how the gameplay is like on a modern console because even 10 years later it's still fantastic and rivals most modern titles.
