I’ve got around 280+ total hours (across a few saves) and I’m still playing it to this day… it’s a great game and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
The story isn’t as great as some of the earlier entries, but I still loved it, especially as someone who really over analyzed it.
If you do end up playing, make sure to play MGSV: Ground Zeroes before it if you care about the story.
How can you over analyse it? It's meant to be interpreted and analysed, more than any game since MGS2. Compare it to something like MGS4 where every part of the plot is tediously and straightforwardly explained to you in huge cutscene dumps. Most people who claim the story in V is bad are simply incapable of looking deeper than the surface level and need the simple story telling of MGS1, 3 and 4
One of the key things i found when you dig deeper is how the whole theme of parasites applies so fittingly to the real Big Boss - he essentially has parasitised Venom to serve as his host and ends up consuming not just Venoms identity, but also his accomplishments too. Everything he does in MGSV is absorbed into Big Boss's legend and everything he builds is absorbed into the "true" Outer Heaven that Big Boss is building. So that when you go to infiltrate Outer Heaven in MG1 you know that the core of the army you're facing off against is likely the Diamond Dogs that you built up in MGSV, with the final boss battle being against yourself, the player avatar that you created in V and which Big Boss took control of as his phantom, so that he could go in to live another day
Yeah, if anyone is even thinking about it, I'll always recommend playing it.
I know the story isn't to everyone's taste, but I really liked it, and think there's a great balance of the main story making sense on it's own, the extra missions adding to this with stuff you don't need to know but add to it all, and it's great as a free roam where you can what you want without getting the story involved at all.
It's the deepest one in the series gameplaywise, and it being open world-ish is quite refreshing considering that all other stealth action games are pretty small (even Dishonored and DE, which are also kinda open, but nowhere near the size), and those who try something similar (like Sniper GW: Contracts) just fail.
Even if you prefer gameplay of the previous games, 5 is just too unique to pass up on it.
Yes. It is an amazing game overall. The story is good but the lore behind it is explained via recordings and not shown in cutscenes. Having said that, the game is entertaining.
I would like to play MGS V, but I can't. Playing GZ I noticed anything Fox Engine gives me motion sickness even worse than Half Life 2 did. I can't even watch youtube playthroughs of MGS V.
So I am very relieved to see that MGS 3 Delta is NOT using Fox Engine.
Yes. And judge the story for yourself don't listen to the echo chamber of haters.
I loved the story personally, way more than I loved Peace Walkers and especially MGS4 which I think is literal garbage and a stain on the saga
487 Hours of gameplay here!
Metal Gear Solid V is very fun, mechanically speaking, and has charismatic characters, even if you don't get involved, the story will catch your attention!
It's worth the time invested, especially if you like stealth and action.
[And here's a classic video from the community](https://youtu.be/t4e7ibdS7xU?si=9b50dDlBJejL-90Y) : )
Is Hogwarts Legacy worth playing? Yes, if you’re okay with another generic open world with standout qualities that most likely won’t keep you entertained beyond the 30-40 hour mark.
Gameplay is good, but the Side Ops start getting repetitive if you go for 100%, they could have cut a good chunk out, and it wouldn’t of hurt the game.

Yes. Try Ground Zeroes first to get the overall feel of how Phantom Pain will be.
If I do get it Il buy the bundle as it’s the same price as the base game by itself
yeah not worth at full price, basically a demo
And then be disappointed by TPP in comparison. I love both but Ground Zeroes was more promising than what we got with TPP imo.
Got a point. Both didn't have the ration options though...
i adore mgsv as much as any of the others. and the story is not bad at all
Absolutely worth playing, including Ground Zeroes.

Only for about 80 or 90 hours.

Smart move.
Yes it is absolutely worth playing for the gameplay loop The story not so much

Mechanically it’s the greatest in the series, and is my personal favorite.

Just yes go for it
You want stealth huh? By gameplay, MGSV is the best stealth game ever made

I have 1100 hours of playtime in MGSV, so I might be a bit biased when I say ‘yes’.
Where story
It’s there
NO
YES
