METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

love this game its so damn good

Après avoir terminé Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, puis Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, il était logique pour moi d'enchaîner avec Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Malheureusement, le jeu m'a fait une très mauvaise première impression. Son introduction est, à mes yeux, beaucoup trop longue. Les longues séquences où Snake, gravement blessé, rampe péniblement pour tenter de s'échapper m'ont paru interminables. J'ai même failli abandonner dès le début tant je trouvais cette introduction laborieuse. C'est probablement l'un des débuts de jeu qui m'a le plus frustré. Heureusement, une fois cette longue mise en place passée, le véritable jeu commence... et là, tout change. Les phases d'infiltration sont excellentes. On retrouve toute la liberté qui fait la réputation de la série : plusieurs approches sont possibles, les gadgets sont variés et chaque mission laisse une grande place à l'expérimentation. C'est un vrai plaisir de préparer son infiltration et d'improviser lorsque les choses ne se passent pas comme prévu. J'ai parcouru plusieurs sessions en stream et j'ai vraiment apprécié ce que le jeu proposait. En revanche, je ne m'attendais pas à une aventure aussi longue. Je pensais retrouver un format proche de Snake Eater, mais The Phantom Pain est bien plus ambitieux et demande un investissement conséquent. Finalement, j'ai arrêté non pas parce que je n'aimais pas le jeu, mais simplement parce que je ne pouvais pas lui consacrer suffisamment de temps dans le cadre de mes streams. J'ai préféré passer à d'autres titres plutôt que d'étaler cette aventure sur plusieurs mois. Au final, je garde une impression positive de Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Son gameplay d'infiltration est exceptionnel et laisse une grande liberté au joueur. Mon seul véritable reproche concerne cette introduction, qui manque cruellement de rythme et qui a bien failli me faire abandonner avant même de découvrir les immenses qualités du jeu.

Good

Kojima's last game before Konami took over. I will give a good review anyways to show respect but realistically i have mixed feeling and i feel bad saying it. --PROS-- -Stealth mechanics are still ahead of their time, and easily i can call them the best i have ever seen -Cutscenes may be diluted, but quality of animations and voice acting is excellent and i don't have anything bad to say. -Access to licensed music you can collect and listen to -Fan service, though this time it was overexaggerated, its nothing new for Kojima -Access to recorded dialogues that can help with understanding the lore, as always over-explained not only in lore but also how things work scientifically to get a better picture -References to previous games, i won't spoil anything here -Mother base itself, grinding your base, assigning staff, developing, Fulton extractions, managing your buddy's --CONS-- -BIGGEST kick in the nuts: Forcing a player to do the same mission that already happened but with a MODIFIER in order to progress the campaign. Same goes with the last mission, you literally REPLAY the first one which means unskipable crawling on the floor, the only difference is the last cutscene. In my opinion it kind of ruined the vibe of ending. -As i mentioned before, actual campaign missions are diluted. One time actually something happens and there's a lot of going on, and the other time its just lots of extraction missions that SHOULD be in my opinion only in SIDE OPS missions. RECOMMENDATION Don't do side ops if you play this game for lore, unless you want to grind but remember you will end up with playtime like me. -Advanced English, though i endured mgs 1,2,3, rising. This time they used too much advanced words you will only hear once in this game and never again. NOT to mention Initialisms like: P.F DARPA XOF FOX i heard it so much and so quick in lots of dialogues my brain that speaks English as second language gets totally fried and i don't understand anything at ALL. -HUMOR, MOST important of all. I mean there was something like putting a lady on a cardboard box or finding a tape with soldier recorded while having diarrhea, BUT sadly that's not enough everything funny is hidden by a secret or an item --PERSONAL OPINION-- Its a good game, but i can feel it was made in a rush. It could be the best game ever like any other Metal Gear games. If you really love this franchise, its a test of patience. 6.5/10

The greatest Metal Gear game

What a game this is. The open world is done right. Little in the way of fetch quests, unless you count completely unnecessary things like wild animal capture. The missions are engaging and there are multiple ways to finish all of them. It's a great blend of linearity and open world and I can only hope we have another game of this caliber again. Even on older hardware this game looks great and runs incredibly smooth.
