Review Update

Hi Folks, so i have put many many hours into this amazing game, let me begin by saying, don't go into this game looking for crazy long cutscenes and lengthy story like the past MGS games, Kojima and the crew focus'd on gameplay for this title, but dont let that steer you away, i have been a long time fan of the series and yes the story content in the games made them what they are today but it makes a nice change having tons of stuff to do, in this game they implemented a cassette tape system with tons of dialogue, you can learn the story just by listening to them as you play through, and there are still many kick ass cutscenes to watch.

Phantom Pain has a lot to offer in way of gameplay, you have in total 50 story missions (some are an extreme difficulty of previous ones) and a total of 157 side op missions, such as extract blueprints or highly skilled soldiers, prisoner extraction, mine clearing and lots more different varieties, not only do you have all these missions and side ops but you have a Motherbase!, overtime with materials you extract and soldiers you fulton, you can expand your motherbase which will unlock more you can develop, such as weapons, items and outfits, for not only you but your soldiers also, at some point through your play you will be able to unlock customization, so you can change the colour of your motherbase and also customize your weapons.

During your play through you will notice you can have a choice of companions (buddies) that can aid you on your missions and side ops, Quiet (a sexy sniper :D), DD (a wolf), D-Horse and a D-Walker (a walker gear)

This game is definitely worth the money spent, and to those true fans and new players i believe you should give this game a shot.

I have personally put over 200 hours into Phantom Pain, currently pushing for 100% completion and 100% achievements, i have never really pushed for this sort of thing on any past games i have played but i adore this game so much i figured i would make it my first! :D
