FreakOrama writes: "The game looks visually great, preforms wonderfully on a PC (60 FPS locked) and the story-telling/story is great to a point, with the gameplay being always fun with a few minor complaints/annoyances. But with those annoyances merged with the game feeling unfinished (and it actually is unfinished with recent news coming out) with a really dissatisfying ending, the game turns out as a great game but fell halfway through to become amazing, and thats sad."

Popoptiq: A great opening can really set the tone for any piece of art. Whether it be a films first scene or an albums initial track, the opening will be the first thing you engage with in an artists work, and as such, it has the potential to be the most important part of the package. This is certainly true of the opening of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, director/designer/writer/producer Hideo Kojimas final piece of his acclaimed Metal Gear saga.

Popoptiq: Just in case the title of the article didnt fully prepare you for whats going on here, allow me to spell it out; in this story there will be spoilers, lots of spoilers, perhaps even all of the spoilers for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. If youre enjoying the game and you dont want to know how it ends, why Quiet has to wear a bikini, or whether or not Drebin and his pet monkey time travel back to 1984 to explain some back story on the bosses for you, you should take this opportunity to abandon ship. Get out of here, and come back when youre done. Go on. Out with you. If youve finished the game, then feel free to stay, because in this article, well be talking about what went wrong with the story in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and there might even be a little baseless speculation as to why it went wrong, too.

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.

"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain represents an evolution for the series. Transcending traditional gaming, storytelling, and art, it is a successful marriage of open world and stealth mechanics that creates an elaborate dichotomy of ideas that somehow work within the parameters of a thought-provoking and often profoundly captivating narrative."
