Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Great 30 minutes, ends with vagina bomb. Neat.

For the brief amount of time I spent playing this one, it was amazing. I could see myself playing the short story arc over and over and getting strong and more skilled. I'd never really liked Metal Gear games before because they focused too much on stealth movement and I'm a shoot 'em up kind of guy, but once the controls became familiar, this one was a blast.

It was way overpriced at the time but it does show off the mechanics of what would become the best Metal Gear Solid game from a gameplay perspective. I'm a MG fanatic, that's enough to give it an 80.

a fun tech demo but obviously incomplete as a game, to say nothing of the horribly botched "controversial" story elements. Metal Gear could only fall so far, but this is about as close as it came.

This should be in The Phantom Pain, period.

What a tease

Short but sweet.

Just a taste, just a taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaste.

Ground Zeroes is simply too short, that can't be ignored. However, it successfully teased what would be the best mechanical Metal Gear game ever and for a while had me pondering the story... until I actually finished The Phantom Menace. No, no, Phantom Pain... Phantom Pain, get that straight vv238 those are different things. Anyway, it was at that time I realized that Kojima was just a mad man and not some predictive genius and the "story" here feels gross for what it will eventually say.
