Due to the extensive length of the game, and also due to the fact that it's both a Prequel and a Sequel to a long running timeline (which is a writing nightmare) the game has a relatively slow pace that won't grab a good number of people. The one really major "flaw" that may turn some people off from this game is how it approaches it's story. That's almost always a recipe for a whole lot of technical glitches that this game is surprisingly lacking in all things considered. ![]() And that is impressive considering how technically advanced the game is, the fact that it's on every console and PC barring the Wii/Wii U, and that it's running on an entirely new engine on unfamiliar consoles. But overall, in the grand scheme of what the game offers, and also compared to the faults of MOST modern games, it's flaws are negligible at their worst. It has it's fair share of issues, could have a better fast travel system, missions could be a bit more varied, has a few bugs that could be cleared up, vehicles could have been made to preform better. ![]() Don't get me wrong The Phantom Pain is not a "perfect game" nothing is of course. I can only hope, and pray that other gamers will look at this game as a shining example of the difference between a game that is produced with true care and creativity, with ambition behind it and innovation pushing it forward and making it a reality, and games that are just yearly releases of the same old **** running on dated engines, with barely any real change save for new maps and a new generic story, pushed out too early and often buggy and incomplete, with withheld content planned as DLC's right from the start. This is the kind of game that sets a standard, this is the kind of game that's merits can not be simply measured by the sum of it's parts. I say this because it is one of the only instances in gaming history where a series has made such an incredibly and surprisingly massive leap forward, not only for the series itself, but more importantly for gaming as a whole. ![]() Whether you are a long time fan of the series, a newcomer, or even someone who found previous titles in the series weren't really your thing, or just outright disliked them, I implore you to try this game, really try it. It is a game that dares to push boundaries and to be truly ambitious where far too many developers and their series are far too comfortable stagnating with each iteration of their respective series. It is a game that dares to push boundaries and to be truly ambitious Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is without a doubt a modern classic.
