Brian Ashcraft: "I have been going to the Tokyo Game Show since 2004. I believe this is the first year that Hideo Kojima is not appearing on stage."

Its been seven long years since Metal Gear Solid 4, five since Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker a game while magnificent, that is often forgotten about for its lack of a number causing fans of the franchise to yearn for the next entry in Hideo Kojimas espionage series of magical realism. Through all the trouble and drama between Kojima-san and his employer (developer Konami), the game finally released earlier this month and was met with critical applause, overwhelmingly so. The only detractors it seems come for its story and its sporadic nature, chopped up episodically and inserted between dense gameplay. In the eyes of a quite vocal set of fans, this inaccessibility is a big problem, but is it really? Did Kojima and Konami drop the ball on the main element that the series is known for in favour of implementing one for which it is not?

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, developed by Kojima Productions and published by Konami, this game continues on from where Ground Zeroes left off with Naked Snakes Oil Rig base getting attacked by Cipher. Shifting an almost always linear game, with the ability to backtrack, to an open-world sandbox experience was a big change that some people couldnt come to terms with whereas others loved the new take on the series.

Popoptiq: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain opens with an incredible hour long escape from an under attack hospital that is one of the most exciting opening hours of any video game Ive played. The game ends with a similar mission that is at once confusing, repetitive, boring and anticlimactic. Nothing sums up the final Metal Gear Solid game quite as succinctly as the bookending missions do. Its beautiful, crass, innovative, rote, clever, stupid, polished, and unfinished. This game, more than anything else so far, is the most compelling piece of evidence as to why Hideo Kojima and Konami had their public falling out throughout 2015. The game is a wonderful, ungodly mess; an $80 million game that probably needed a few million more throwing at it to get it ready for release, which presumably, Konami were unwilling to do. Its a disappointing ending for the long running series, that is also one of the best games of the year. Confused? Well, its Metal Gear, after all.

"Let us not waste too much time getting caught up in the tattered trash storm that is the Kojima vs Konami battle raging over these past months. To summarize, there was some form of a falling out, so Kojima is out and new projects are to come. Well, at least we hope so." -- PlayStation Enthusiast

GameInformer: "Snake can wear a variety of different outfits in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but one of the options sadly isn't Quiet's scantily clad attire. Artist Anne Pogoda gives us a good look at what that outfit might look like on Snake. Hideo Kojima said Quiet's outfit was created to sell more action figures, and, well, he's right I would buy an action figure of Snake rocking this look."
