Jim Sterling: Ive got my umbrella primed for a torrent of boiled piss, as Im about to suggest Hideo Kojima is less than perfect. How could you argue otherwise, though, when you see Quiet and unveil the secret reason for her total ballbag visual design? So join me as we explain why the whole Quiet thing in Metal Gear Solid V is total bollock-chunder! Afterwards, I plan to drink. Drink to forget.

Matt at Codec Moments writes: "Its been over 5 years since the release of the last major instalment in the Metal Gear franchise on the PSP, and a lots happened in gaming tech and innovation in that time. Hopes and dreams have been placed with Hideo Kojima and his team that they would keep the high standards weve come to expect from their work. Have they kept us waiting for the best game since Snake Eater, or is Metal Gear Solid V more like Sons of Liberty and likely to disappoint the hardcore faithful?"

Dave Thier: "The past two months have seen two of the most open world remarkable games in recent years: Metal Gear Solid 5, Hideo Kojiimas absurd swan song, and The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Reds sprawling medieval fantasy epic. Both these games are true accomplishments, and more than worth your time. Comparing them might seem like a pointless exercise in the abstract, but were not living in the abstract. For the gamer that only has enough money/time to commit to one of two of these games: its an important decision. Not everyone has 40-50 hours to commit to a big game like one of these, and even fewer have 80-100 hours to commit to both. So we assume for a second that we know you want to play a gruff man exploring a broad open world that dances between fantastical and grounded. So whos it gonna be: The Witcher 3s Geralt or Metal Gear Solid 5s Big Boss?"

GR: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain marks an important transition for the series. Previous MGS entries allowed freedom within defined spaces, while MGSV makes the shift to an open-world sandbox design. The linearity of past games disappears, and Hideo Kojima's MGS swan song thrives on the lack of constraints. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain feels like an open-world sandbox game in which the game actually plays like a virtual sandbox. There aren't a ton of sidequests scattered over every square inch of the map. Instead, every situation in the game promotes creativity and thus the game shines in its open world design.

NZGamer: nami have had an interesting year thus far. Alongside announcing plans to focus on free-to-play mobile games, Hideo Kojima is reportedly leaving the company, they cancelled Silent Hills, and are allegedly utilising surveillance to keep an eye on employees. Despite undergoing a period of upheaval, their most recent financial report for the quarter ending June 2015 show increased revenue and profits attributed to investment in mobile gaming. But what does the future hold for a company seemingly hell-bent on turning their backs on the gaming experiences and fans which put them into the financial position they currently enjoy?
