TwoOldGamers Plays… Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

So Metal Gear Solid V is finally here and it goes without saying that it is a pretty special game.

MGS V is hands down the greatest stealth game ever made, it may even be one of the greatest games ever made.
There was concern from the die-hard fans of the Metal Gear series that Kojima’s choice to take the series Open-World was a big mistake. In fact it turns out it was the best decision for the Metal Gear franchise. MGS V gives players several huge open-world enviroments to play in and by play, I literally mean it. The freedom given to you to perform missions is entirely down to the player. With hardly any hand holding or large map pointers, objective lists.
