6About METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN
Konami Digital Entertainment continues forth the ‘METAL GEAR SOLID V Experience’ with the latest chapter, METAL GEAR SOLID V: The Phantom Pain. Ushering in a new era for the franchise with cutting-edge technology powered by the Fox Engine, MGSV: The Phantom Pain will provide players a first-rate gaming experience as they are offered tactical freedom to carry out open-world missions. Nine years after the events of MGSV: GROUND ZEROES and the fall of Mother Base, Snake a.k.a. Big Boss, awakens from a nine year coma. The year is 1984. The Cold War serves as the backdrop as nuclear weapons continue to shape a global crisis. Driven by revenge, Snake establishes a new private army and returns to the battlefield in pursuit of the shadow group, XOF.

Great game
Great game. It's so cool that Kojima included the song "Invisible" by Duran Duran in this game six years before it even came out. Bravo, Hideo.

I'm afraid it's been
I'm afraid it's been... 9 years. 9 years to this day, this game released, and it's still one of the best games I've ever put my hands on. I know a lot of people will tell you this game is unfinished, and it does feel like that sometimes, but what is here isn't short of amazing. The stealth, the combat, the mechanics are just too good. KJP brought out their A-game when making this. Had they been greenlit the budget they asked for, who knows? Maybe we could have gotten more. 9 years later we're still hoping for more. 9 years later we're still wondering if there would be new content. The Phantom Pain lingers on. Anyways, enough reminiscing about that. If you're a fan of stealth imm-sims, like the Dishonored and Thief series, you'll find a lot to love in MGSV—no, you'll find a lot to love about the entirety of the series. I'm only a 100+ hours in, 43% completion, got to S-rank most missions already. I'm still farming for more resources before continuing the main story, but I am loving every second I spend in this game. Do yourself a favor: buy the Definitive Experience when it goes on sale, or commit crime—whatever. Experience the game for yourself. I am not giving you a choice.
