To say that I'm a Metal Gear fan would be an understatement. I'm a grown adult with Metal Gear art on my wall. I've beaten every game in the series at least three times. Heck, my friends call me Big Boss due to my manic interest in the franchise. You might just find me stealthing around cosplaying as Big Boss with Vietnam-era camo and equipment.
As with many other gamers, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a game that I considered my most anticipated for nearly half a decade. But just 10 days after release I'm already burned out of the game, and can't say that I will remember it in a positive light. This isn't an uncommon theme with post-release talk. Many Metal Gear fans are disappointed, and it's only becoming worse with time. Let's go over why.
A Forgettable Story
Prior to MGSV's release, I took for granted how much I admire Hideo Kojima's storytelling, even with all its insanity (i.e. nanomachines and "the arm"). Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was certainly full of lengthy cutscenes, many of which were almost unbearably long. However, at the end of the game I felt as though I had been through an epic narrative. There were so many great moments that are impossible to forget, including the microwave hall and return to Shadow Moses. The truth is that while Metal Gear has always been long-winded, it's also been clever. That's extended beyond story elements to character design, with plenty of noteworthy antagonists encountered along the multi-decade journey.

GI: "Metal Gear Online has been something of a mystery for some time, so the opportunity to play a few rounds of the competitive experience at TGS earlier today was both exciting and revealing. The free add-on to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set to release on consoles on October 6th, with a PC release next year, and its unusual and intriguing gameplay loop offers something many competitive online shooters lack meaningful gameplay choice."

I've already spent 70+ hours with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and that number will likely increase as I plan to at least check out Metal Gear Online. The additional multiplayer suite comes out next month on consoles, and some new details have been revealed.
