Really fun game, but I just could stick with it.

The gameplay is so good it makes up for the miserable narrative

A pity for a Metal Gear game. It feels totally unfinished and empty.

One of the best put together gameplay experiences I've ever had in a game. The stealth mechanics are GREAT, and the sandbox that this game provides is fantastic. I also really love the story from a MGS lore and general idealistic perspective. There was so much promise in all the set ups and ideas, and it's such a shame that some things had to go unfinished and left out, like the Kingdom of the Flies mission.

The reveal at the end is also a contentious one, but one that I think perfectly demonstrates how Big Boss became the villain by the time Metal Gear 1 rolls in. The use of Venom as a pawn is cold-blooded, and shows just how dedicated to his cause he's become. To use other soldiers without discretion or care for their personal lives or choice is a disgusting tactic and shows how Big Boss fell right into what he sought to stop. (even if it was Zero's idea)

I also thought Quiet's story was really well done, especially near the end, I just wish her design wasn't so outrageous. (also, a Quiet Exit and it's difficulty spike, along with the inability to return to the ACC is genuinely nuts and brought this game down a star lmao)

I have a lot more I could say about this game, but I really loved it!

could have been better but honestly really fking cool either way


Selanthrapus be thick as fuck

Everything is great about this game. I am not even a fan of stealth games but this game makes stealth extremely fun (as expected from a metal gear game). Its my first metal gear game and I have a lot of optimism for the other games in the series that I plan to play after I complete this one. It is literally a great game in terms of everything, I can't think of any flaws at all.

Eu zerei esse jogo num Xbox 360 desbloqueado. Aí, quando eu ganhei um Play3, eu comprei ele pra essa plataforma. Em uma promoção na Steam, eu também comprei esse jogo, mesmo que o PC não rodasse, 9 reais era o troco do lanche da escola da semana. No Xbox One, eu comprei a versão Deluxe só pra jogar com o Snake vestindo um terno. Aí, no Playstation 4, eu comprei esse jogo de novo pq eu não tinha zerado ele nessa plataforma. Isso é o quanto eu amo esse jogo.

for gameplay the series doesn't get better and for story the series doesn't get worse

One of the best games ever made, regardless of it's level of completion.

I'll take video games that unironically got me into Hall & Oates for 500, Alex.

God I wish I could love this game more, I played it back in early 2024 after I had gotten my new pc and loved the beginning and middle portions, it was so refined with its movement and stealth options that just felt so great to control and play around with. But the fact that this game is half finished and the story starts to fall off at the end parts and the goddamn awful reusing of older missions for the later ones makes it so hard to fully finish. This was one of the last metal gear solid games I had to beat and I wish it could've ended better. But I'm still glad for all the enjoyment I had gotten from it.

would be great if quiet didn’t have a disease where she had to be half naked all the time

I wish Kojima was given the time to finish the game as he wanted to but we were still given an incredibly fun game to play with almost total freedom in how you could beat missions. Overall a very fun sandbox game especially later on even if the storys confusing

gameplay boa
mas só isso mesmo

Best gameplay in the series but the worst story, still good just not as good as the others.

It's one of the most fun I've had ever in a video game and the graphics are really pretty, the rest can go to hell, specially the "chapter 2"

Probably the last good game from Konami. Outstanding graphics(even for today standards), nice mechanics , decent story, a lot of missions, strategies and weapons to try... The problems is being open world is a bit dispersive and the final is...incomplete.

they can chop your arm off, fire you from konami, be unfinished and yet you're still better than valorant

Never got excited for a game ever again until Elden Ring.
Fuck this game.

A lackluster back 1/3rd can't hold back one of the best playing games ever made, with a story that really does match the rest of the series when it's firing on all cylinders.

très vide comme open world mais des mécaniques super super fun

The end parts are gooch but the middle and beginning are amazing


personal note
(S-ranked all missions, currently doing challenges, a lot of side ops remain)

- 70% completion
- acquired Raiden suit :)

Amazing game marred by Konmai's meddling.
The IRL timegated stuff straight out of a bad mobage is so bad, just play the game offline.

Also, Mother Base wouldn't've fallen to XOF if Snake just bought FOB insurance, huge plot hole.

Don't care what anyone says, this is great.
