It’s an insane, over the top and entertaining intro, but it’s way too long. I nearly didn’t make it through the first few hours because that’s as long it takes for the game to actually start. You are the leader of the adorably named ‘Diamond Dogs’ band of mercenaries and besides managing your off-shore private army base, you mainly visit afore mentioned conflict zones and decide whether you sneakily sedate and extract or less sneakily shoot and kill everyone and anything you meet. Most of the time you ride a horse called D-Horse through some versions of 1980s Afghanistan and Central Africa. In ‘Metal Gear Solid V’ you play as Punished “Venom” Snake aka Big Boss. It’s also a very impractical game if you want to write a blog about video games because even by concentrating solely on the story missions it took me about 35 hours to finish it. A weird combination of 80s action movie, bad writing and utter madness, enhanced by something that is either a great sense of humor or me being ignorant of Japanese culture. It’s also incredible that despite its flaws it’s still such a great game. ‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ is an insane open-world stealth game and much more.
