Love MGSV. Best Metal Gear game since 3, and reinvigorated my love for the series after the disappointment that was 4.
You should listen to cassette tapes as soon as you get them. They provide a bit of backstory, and expand on events, story elements, characters, etc.

Edited by Smarkdow: 4/9/2016 2:01:45 AMNot kidding you. After the excellence that was MGS3, I found 4 to be disappointing. It starts off good, but goes downhill starting in Act 3 with it's on rails stealth section, and it never quite recovers. It's got great gameplay, but there aren't many opportunities to utilize it to its full extent after Act 2. There's the all too often instances where you'll play for ten minutes and then a twenty minute cutscene and/or codec conversation will interrupt; it's a game that doesn't seem to want you to play it (not to mention the ending cutscene is over an hour long). Wasn't a fan of the fanservice (pun possibly intended) or how absolutely everything was explained (nanomachines).

I actually loved MGS4 [i]because[/i] of the cutscenes. That's what MGS games are all about. And that final boss fight tho!

[quote]I actually loved MGS4 [i]because[/i] of the cutscenes. That's what MGS games are all about.[/quote]Sure, but the balance was outta whack. 1 and 3 had a good ratio of cutscenes and gameplay. 2 had a little too much, but 4 was absolutely ridiculous with the amount and length of cutscenes. I don't mind cutscenes in a Metal Gear game, but I do mind when they interrupt too often and get in the way of actually playing the game.[quote]And that final boss fight tho![/quote]I didn't really care for it because It's been done better, in my opinion. Fighting Liquid atop of Rex was classic. Swordfighting the former President of the United States was crazy. Fighting The Boss in a field of flowers was poetic.
