Alright, after 100+ hours of gameplay I finaly finished Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain, and all I can say is...I never Loved and Hated a game like this before.

Pros +
+ The Freedom the game gives to the player is Great, and unmatched really
+ You can do missions how ever you like. No Restrictions at all...for the most part
+ The Open World is Big
+ A Wide variety of Weapons and Items to use and to Develop
+ Great Characters with great voice acting
+ Building your own little army is fun
+ The music, both the Soundtrack and the 80*s songs are great.Also you can add your own music to the game, which is something I hope other Open World games will allow too in the future
+ Great Gameplay, everything feels responsive
+ The game looks great, and decently optimized
+ Collecting resources in this game doesn't feel like a chore
+ Cutscenes are beautifully shot, and the game has some really great moments in the Story. Real emotional stuff

Cons -
- The Story is Weak
- The Pace of the Story is really bad, and due to that the Big Twist at the end feels off because it just happens for no reason
- Repetetive Side Ops
- FOB is broken and not exactly a fun thing
- Multiplayer feels tacked-on
- Sometimes the Main Missions feel like a glorified Side Op,and without the Side Tasks it would only be that...a Side Op
- This game has some of the most annyoing Dialogues ever ( Pretty much made me hate Kaz due to his "Are you hurt ? Try a little harder next time"BS when you fail an FOB mission )
- Chapter 2 of the game is just a mess
- The Main Villian is weak
- The Boss Fights are weak ( Metal Gear Boss was pretty good but the Skulls Boss Fight ? Just what the Hell where they thinking ? )
- Recycled Missions with additional tasks, and no explanation for why we are doing them again
- The Open-World is just that...a simple Open-World. Nothing to see and barely anything to do outside of missions
- The A.I. is not the best. Other then seeing really far, they sometimes act really stupid
- Ridiculous amount of Cassete Tapes to listen to
- And worst of all, the game feels incomplete

So yeah, it has its ups and downs but in the end I would reccomend it. It's great fun but sometimes it can really get on your nerves with its missions

The game is incomplete cause Kojima was still working on the storyline and the ending for Mgs5 when the publisher let him go cause of a huge fallout. But still a good game even tho wished it was finish.

Also "decently" optimized?
It's the most optimized game that exists on the market.
Come on now, don't lower what Kojima really did with this game. :Miller:

Boss fights are weak? Skulls are weak? What the fuck?
I must be the only one fucking struggling to save my ass whenever a Skulls mission pops up. I just pray to God there's a stealthy way around it. :Ocelot:
