I think it is sad that this version of the game is more story told and interesting than that of Phantom Pain. I Will also go out there to say more detailed too.

Konami Has really hurt a good creator and director and it shows from this and the first chapter of Phantom as the rest of that game is just rushed and un interesting. I am also really torn of them removing Kojima's existence from the games entirely too.

So what can I say about Ground Zeroes - Well it is very fun, hard, challenging, and intreguing. It also feels like a proper MGS title. So in the end I would say Buy this game and pretend the follow up game does not exist. Though it is short the play time can be extended by challenging yourself and the AI with side objectives and messing about.

Get this game and be happy with what is one of Kojima's final Metal Gear games as the Phantom Pain is just a Painful reminder of what could have been but never delivered fully due to the dictatorship of Konami and their practices.
