A fever dream of incredibly conceptual oddities and a new high water mark for gameplay.
Letting you progress the story through overheard dialogue and collected audio tapes may be challenging but it works. The open-world map without a doubt provides the richest stealth mechanics we've ever seen. Had this just a little more time to iron out the roughness, we'd be calling it the definitive Metal Gear Solid experience.

greatest ever man, finna start 2nd chapter
très vide comme open world mais des mécaniques super super fun
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.

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!

very unfinished
Who knows, not me.
We'll make diamonds from their ashes. Take them into battle with us.
not bad not good, this game had the potential to be the best metal gear game. the gameplay is top tier so ill give it a higher rating but the story? the mission based system? i dont like any of that. gimme back the good old metal gear
You’re all diamonds.
even with a weaker story, this is probably the best stealth and open world game ive ever played . I would kiss Miller on the lips
Best, most open ended stealth sandbox you can get.
We'll make diamonds from their ashes; carry them into battle with us
no other release in this sector will ever surpass the smooth flowing gameplay of the phantom pain. god bless FOX engine.
p.s. yeah it's unfinished. the gameplay makes that up for me.

Man I wish I was a metal gear cus like I love this game so much but is suck at stealth so I can't get into the series as a whole and big boss is only in this game sadly but whatever yeah I remember buying this game for 10 bucks like when I was 12 for whatever reason like i only played the only other metal gear I played was the third game on the 3ds and I didn't like it at all like the guns felt like shit I hated that the suppressors exploded after 2 shots and I sucked at stealth and I didn't like the whole fulton extraction and base building shit and only made it too the point where I got quiet since shes top 3 hottest women in gaming and deleted it right after the only i liked was the music player dawg and I only picked this game up cus like i was randomly wanted to play and ofc with my weird like coincidental luck the game was trending cus of the invisible edits so i was like oh ok at least i wont seem like a complete loser playing this game but yeah i went on to love everything this game like i love the fulton extraction shit after i unlocked the black hole shit and being forced to play warzone had my aiming with snipers on some dif shit like i was popping dudes with tranqs like nothing and I learned to like the whole resource management when I unlocked the ability to attack other people like I was a fucking menace dawg genuinely prob killed or kidnapped over 600 of peoples soldiers like you out fuel on the line im not lying like i feel so bad now cus like they would attack me back and lose multiple times cus they kept tryna get they lick back like shits crazy and when i took a 3 week break from this game and got back into recently i was ion want to rob people anymore i feel bad but i wanna upgrade my base whatever right so i was like randomly scrolling through the menu while I was researching shit and I was seeing the weekly league shit seeing me either drawing or winning ever raid and when i checked out the daily league i stg I only just read the pop-up bro but that says you gained of points😭like and i was confused AF like what hell is pf points and ONLY JUST NOTICED I HAD OVER 200K OF PF POINTS LIKE 💀💀💀 yeah im retarded but anyway great game I love the fact you can play music and shit in game i wish the game suppressed all the sound while you listen like when you play audio logs but it's fine and love how you can and underbarrel pistol thats hella cool but yeah I fan keep going on and on about everyone i love about this gane but I'll stop here 10/10 perfect game with billions of ways to approach every fight
This game was really fun. Its stealth was pretty top notch, obviously. Missions were creative, and sometimes quite tough. The only thing I really wish they had was a little more replayability.
personal note
(S-ranked all missions, currently doing challenges, a lot of side ops remain)
- 70% completion
- acquired Raiden suit :)

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.
could have been better but honestly really fking cool either way
Best gameplay in the series but the worst story, still good just not as good as the others.
gameplay boa
mas só isso mesmo
mas só isso mesmo
The man who sold the world
the best far cry like ever created
Quiet only exists for Kojima to overcompensate for all the homoeroticism in the past 4 games.
didnt like it too much
An amazing masterpiece and yet at the same time a big dissapointment. The game has such an amazing sandbox but what it severely lacks is the focused maps of the older mgs games. What i wouldn't do for an actual mission dlc for this game...
probably the best controls out of any mgs game i played. when it came out i spent like a month working on some forums where we were hacking the file formats and i replaced the main character with quiet but she had like a rocket launcher stuck in her chest because it wasnt sticking the gun in her hand properly or something it was weird.
This game deserves a better reputation than what it has, I don't believe this is "The Metal Gear with the best gameplay but the worst story" at all. Going too far into why would become spoilerly and I'd prefer not to, but this deserves to stand alongside the other enteries as a great story with excellent characters and just really brilliant moments. The (phantom) pain of never seeing the complete vision of what was planned will always string, but what we still have, still got to hold on to, is a blessing to itself.
For a take that's far less bold, the gameplay in this is excellent, this game getting close to being a decade old is one of the most visually stunning, technically impressive marvels of game design I've ever seen and carries on the series tradition of being revolutionary for the age it was made. This is a fun game to play with a lot of replayability and content, extremely dense and fun to experiment with.
I'm extremely happy with the way this ends the franchise, the perfect loop it creates going back to MG1, a close circle that ends the final game as the perfect narrative set up for the first.

I don't remember shit about this game cuz I beat it years ago but this is one of my most played games on steam at 127 hours so I must have liked it.
