"Play This Game Rebel Scum"

Quick Review: Get it on sale.
Slightly Slower Review:
The Good: Creepy Atmosphere, Challenging game, really cool ideas for a small game done by school students.
The Bad: Minimalistic Story, The game is just 10~15 Minutes long, but it can give you hellish time if you are after achievements.

That's It!

One of the best 2-Hours Games I've ever played.
P.S: I'm not joking, this game rocks!

Do You remember in the NES days where you buy a cartridge that says "99999 IN 1"
Garry's Mod is the modern version of that.

Whatever You Are.. Human or Animal... this game will offend you.

*ahem ahem*
Ok so this is an Amazing Game Done right on PC. for a port, it's surprisingly outstanding.
Metal Gear Solid V, despite numbered '5', it's not a sequel to MGS4, but rather a direct sequel to Peace Walker. (Name it Peace Walker 2)
I think people who skipped Peace Walker will miss many things and won't have the same experience.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND PLAYING BIG BOSS SAGA GAMES BEFORE PLAYING THIS OR PHANTOM PAIN.

Out of the technical and background info side:
Imagine Hideo Kojima used "Polymerization Card" fusing Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell.
Yes, Actually Ground Zeroes don't play much like the older games. it borrowed many things from Splinter Cell games, most notably Blacklist, and built them upon Peace Walker.
This Game will give you 2-Hours (more or less) "Main Ops" mission. That's is the entrance to The Phantom Pain.
when you finish that, you will be given 4 "Side Ops" missions to complete and that for the rest of hours for your money.
Finding Certain Collectibles will give you 2 "Extra Ops", and these two for old fans. they are filled with "nostalgia" moments, easter eggs, and jokes only old fans will get.

-A Thrilling story with a great cliffhanger : Note, Probably only those who at least have a background about Snake Eater, Portable Ops and Peace Walker will get hooked into GZ/PP story.
-Breathtaking 60FPS Gameplay.
-Absolutely reliable and great Controls for Keyboard/Mouse, i played the first hours using Xbox 360 Controllers, but honestly it not that good. Aiming soldiers by Tranq.Gun using stick is a pain in the a$$.
-semi-Free Roam gameplay with vehicles to use for transportations or giving hell to soldiers.
-Realistic environment and Realistic mechanism
-The Ambient, the environment sounds, They Sound unbelievably realistic.
-Graphics are top notch!
-Challenging Missions.

-Story is found in just few scenes.
-No Fulton Recovery System (Peace Walker's POW recovery system)
-Very limited weapons to use
-Soldiers have really "over-miles" eyes, and you don't have a big chances to avoid alerts. Yes, they can see you from very long distance, and this made me suffer of repeating missions countless of times just to achieve no-detection mission completion.
-unmerciful towards achieving S rank

-If you are new to MGS series, i suggest you skip this game. and Begin playing MGS games in this order
MGS3 Subsistence, Portable Ops, Peace Walker, then this, then wait until Phantom Pain, and continue from there into Solid Snake Games.
-If you played MGS Games but didn't give chance to the (less popular) titles of Portable Ops and Peace Walker
do it now, and this play this game. they are really games with great storylines.

Believe me, you will miss out A TONS OF TONS of the story, easter eggs and many other things if you don't.

final words.......


ALL HAIL BIG BOSS!!!
