This is an insult to one of gaming's most revolutionary and influential franchises. This game is so bad that it completely broke the shit-scale. There's poop, then there's shit, and then finally there's defecation. I don't think there was ever a piece of media that made me so depressed in my life. Even the worst movies I have ever seen, I at least felt like I was actually alive. It's games like this that just sucks the soul out of my body and just makes me regret ever picking up a controller. While playing this, I saw that there were even more objectives to do, so I began hysterically crying and screaming, and didn't stop until I finally had enough and closed the game

You think Konami intentionally made this awful to be like every other shitty online game? That would be soooooo meta.

This could have been an easy 10/10. It's a near perfect game and I could consider this to be the best in the series along with Snake Eater. It took what was great about the stealth gameplay from the first four games and took it to the next level with the open world for you to explore and much more possibilities for stealth. This could have been the ultimate game, had it not been Konami's decision to let go of Hideo Kojima. Because of that, Chapter 2 of the game was just dogshit and recycled older missions and only left room for 3 original missions. On top of that, Chapter 3 wasn't even finished and they just scrapped it out completely, making the conclusion of the game's story too sudden and unsatisfying, leaving too many loose ends and unexplained plot-holes (unless you watch the bonus content).

Other than that, the game absolutely fucks. Hopefully the full experience of this game will come full circle once volume 2 of the Master Collection comes out. But knowing Konami, that's probably not gonna happen. I just hope they don't fuck up the Snake Eater remake.
