The final game, the conclusion to Big Bosses storyline and Kojimas last Metal gear, with probably the most controversial final twist ever. Lets see how it went.
First off I have to say, that the game has this extremely nice vibe, that just few songs can capture more, than Midge Ures "The man who sold the world" cover. People complained about Snakes talkativness, although Hayters Big Boss and Solid Snake always had something to say, Venom is a different person, so it kinda makes sense.
Story - The story itself is good and gripping, but the game has some pacing issues and it sometimes feels empty, its little bit overconfident in its gameplay fullfilness, less sometimes equals more and here it shows. If im ever gonna replay this game purely from Metal gear perspective, I might just skip few missions, watch some of the important cutscenes in them and move onto the 20th mission and rest of the game. I really didnt want to believe it, but it picked up the pace and finally caught me in. But lets face it, the story was not that amazing, it was definetly above average just because its lore, but what justifies and ultimately saves it, is the masterpiece of a final twist and probably my favorite in the entire gaming industry so far. Its so genius and I just love it. Even more, when you discover how many hints there were, that you are not the real Big Boss. Now the bad part, if you thought, that inclusion of Evas cleavage in third one leading to her pants was bad, you havent seen Quiet. I feel like she was there just for coomers and nothing else. Its a shame, because if she was just dressed normally and the devs didnt focus on showing off her tits and ass in every shot, but actually focused on her personality, it mightve been really good character. Overall I dont like her.
Gameplay - Together with MGS4, this is the peak of gaming. The gameplay is perfect. Those repetetive missions Ive mentioned earlier? It doesnt even matter that much, because its that good. I may be the only one, that thinks that actually.
I love having an option of playing songs from that time whenever I can, atleast it continues the legacy of the Ipod from the MGS4, but now it is even better. Even tho the open world is refreshing, the game shines when it takes more linear approach to an objective, that open world is worse, but the linear side of this game is just tad bit better.
Coomer Quiet, the blank and few major reveals off the main story line, that are just part of the side ops these are the problems, that rid this game.
I still love this game, it will at the top of gaming with one of the best gameplays and soundtracks Ive ever experienced and one the best with post game content. Its so fortunate, that it is one of those games you would enjoy even if it havent had any story at all, so the story light missions was not that big of a problem as it would be in other game + you can kill Quiet, but I dont know if the true ending can be unlocked after that, since you will probably lose all your the yellow tapes about her (Ill still blast that bitch in my next playthrough *wink). It is the best unfinished game I have ever played and its a pity, because i just cant get enough of it and I want it to be better.
8/10.
