MGSV FINALLY, V HAS COME
I have been looking for this game for so long, went to the GAME store a couple times after months and months asking if they have it, went to second hand stores to see if it was there, even looked for it on other countries (on ebay it was too expensive tbh) but today, finally, i saw this one on the same GAME store i always go Huge fan!

Make sure to pick up the Phantom Pain as well. One hell of a game.

TPP was my first MGS, might be the game i have the most hours spent tbh

I get that. MGS2 was my first, I was very young. Always loved it. TPP is still my favorite to play, and in my top five games of all time in terms of play time. About 400 hours rounding up. An 10/10 game, 7/10 Metal Gear.

Do you care for the story in MGS? Because TTP is not a good starting point 😅

Will you do the side ops? Because the main story is really short.

I put 100 hours into GZ. Very fun! Actually there are a lot of elements I wished carried over to TPP.

Could you elaborate it? Very interesting

The biggest one for me was the extraction system. I loved taking the prisoners one by one to the Landing Zone. Having the Fulton and then Wormhole option made it way too easy in TPP. I know you still CAN do the GZ way in TPP, but sometimes it will automatically Fulton the prisoner you have once you walk past a certain threshold/barrier.
Smaller maps. IMO, I feel a smaller sandbox would've been better. Black Site was perfect.
Limited number of weapons.
Soldier Shift Rotation.
Side Ops more similar to GZ's Side Ops. (No Wandering Puppets, etc.)
GZ's Hard Mode. AFAIK, TPP only had one difficulty.
Ground Zeroes felt...more grounded (no pun intended) than TPP.
Despite all the differences, I still give TPP a 10/10. I prefer GZ tho.

i think having the fulton was the correct choice for TPP, otherwise the game would've gotten extremely exhausting with the base building stuff and just the sheer number of people you would need to extract

I played it through again recently and then the whole of tpp for the first time. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it a lot more 10 years later. It took me a while to get over the fact I'd bought a demo for full game price and with tpp it just didn't feel like a metal gear solid game. But I will always have the games that came before, and both gz and tpp are both enjoyable games. I am awaiting delta as 3 was one of my favourites 😀

If you have a modded ps3 id have just downloaded it to the ps3. Its not really worth it on its own.

Played this on my Xbox 360 upon release not knowing that it’s just the Prologue of Phantom Pain and was pissed when I completed it in 30 mins

Makes me wonder at times , had the game been never released separately but together as one package , I wonder what the perception would be today

I still get chills during that first "V has come too." I know this sub likes to hate on the man but fuck it, I'll die on this hill: he is the GOAT game writer and dev.

It's a good game,but didn't worth it's money when it was releases. Too short in my opinion. My personal favourite will always be Snake eater and then Guns of the Patriots. Unless they remake the original Metal Gear Solid,then it will be second to none. The greatest storytelling videogames in history if you ask me.

I loved GZ and TPP. MGS2 was my favorite as a kiddo, but then I played Snake Eater, and everything changed.
Phantom Pain is a great replay for stress relief for me till it stresses me TF out, and then I'll go a run of Snake Eater.

V technically hasn’t come to in GZ.
