The gameplay is really good, but there are lots of grinding and repetitive missions and by a lot I do mean A LOT. It takes about 60-80 hours to beat the story mode. The gameplay is a lot like a fast paced Splinter Cell mixed with base micro management and takes place in a open world, albeit a pretty barren one.
Most fans where have issues with the story, the core gameplay itself is great.
You could keep up with most of what's going on in the story as there is actually quite little of it, but personally if you could, you might be better off playing the old games because they're the ones people are gonna be talking about till the end of time, not this. But keep in mind this is an opinion of a jaded fanboy.
Hmm, that does seem like a turn off. To be fair a lot of games do that reptition aspect; but for 60-80 hours, that's bogus lol. I do like the idea of fast pace SC. Are the controls essentially similar to 4? I vaguely remember how it played.
Now I'm at crossroads again.
--A buddy told me the exact same, fun and all but story is ****; but he does always put that disclaimer, "I'm a MGS fan"
I agree with playing the old ones, but I feel like if I do so; I may dislike the series and could ruin it. I always say the same like the PT or OT of Star Wars, seeing the PT first made me appreciate the OT a lot more, but at least lets me tolerate the PT as well.
I may just swap it out and get something else.
If you've never played a MGS before, you'll probably love it since you don't carry any baggage of the older games with you.
Finally broke down and stayed with the game. Overall it's fun, and some thing are quite annoying like the film credits. I can see how MGS fans aren't too fond of the game. Story doesn't fit. Can't put in words since I have a very minute amount of intelligence to the series.
I did have one question. How can I upgrade, or can I upgrade [?], my suppressor? I'm a little annoyed with recon because there is always like 15 guys hidden no matter how much Intel I gather, so I go guns blazing. But can't do much with my suppressor breaking 10 shots in.
Yeah I'm noticing that the game has weird nuances like that. so weird.I only have 15 missions left that I haven't S-ranked, so I guess I'll be pursuing the Platinum trophy after all.
I really dislike how you could get stuck on even the silliest things. I was making a dash to victory when I failed to scale a small rock.
Overall, I don't see myself going trough the entirety of the story mode after the Plat. It's just one of those games you really don't wanna touch ever again.

On the note of people justifying MGS V solely due to Kojima, there is one thing that continually pissed me off. The stupid arguments trying to justify Kojima replacing Hayter. "if Solid Snake is in the game, it wouldn't make sense for Hayter to voice both Solid Snake and Big Boss talking to each other! Who does that?"
It's like, do you even play anything outside of MGS? Or...watch...anything? The fact that fans gave the boot to Hayter...that just makes me question them so much.
Been weeks since I've put it in my PS4. The broken mechanic of not being able to scale a 6 inch rock drives me ****ing nuts.
I refuse to even hold this game as part of the Canon, I hold Kojima to a much higher standard so when he makes a mistake like this entire game I am much harsher in my criticising.

Rocks and foot-high elevations are just about a formidable obstacle as enemy bullets.
On the other hand, I lost respect for him after all the lies. I genuinely sympathize that he doesn't have it in him to make a great MGS anymore, wanting nothing more than to leave the series, but please don't LIE about the game during marketing. Where are the taboo themes? The part that it's such a huge gamble that he might "leave the industry" if he fails? The part where Snake conveys his intentions trough facial expressions? Or the "ashamed of your deeds' or the "antithesis" of sexy women?
Blatant lies that got long time MGS fans thinking he has one more in him.
