Reviews are flooding in today, and they are looking pretty fucking great.
IGN have given it a 10, that's the first 10 since TLOU and GTA V in 2013 (not including rereleases of those two games for PS4/XBO). It's also picked up a 10 from Gamespot and after 15 reviews is sat on metacritic 95 with a lowest score of 88.
So a good start. But I'm loving some of the things being said. Just stealing from metacritic quotes:
"This isn’t just the best Metal Gear game, nor is it just the best stealth game, it is one of the best games ever made."
"There has never been a game in the series with such depth to its gameplay, or so much volume in content. The best elements from the past games are here, and the new open-world gameplay adds more to love on top. When it comes to storytelling, there has never been a Metal Gear game that's so consistent in tone, daring in subject matter, and so captivating in presentation. The Phantom Pain may be a contender for one of the best action games ever made, but is undoubtedly the best Metal Gear game there is."
"There have certainly been sandbox action games that have given me a bigger world to roam, or more little icons to chase on my minimap, but none have pushed me to plan, adapt, and improvise the way this one does. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain doesn’t just respect my intelligence as a player, it expects it of me, putting it in league that few others occupy."
"Kojima's last addition to his legendary Metal Gear franchise is the greatest game he's ever produced. An undeniable pinnacle for the franchise and for video games in general."
And just basically more of that kind of shit. I don't read the phrase "best Metal Gear game there is" lightly... because, to me, that'd make it the best game ever released. While I hope that is true, and certainly see potential there, I'm going to take that with a grain of salt for now... even if seemingly all of the reviews are saying it![laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/flatawesome/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
So yeah. As if there was any doubt, it turns out MGS V is yet another home run. And I can't fucking wait!
