omg there ' s a site to help me have an affair , and my wife will never find out ? ! well I guess I ' ll just sign up with my credit card right now , suckers <| sep |> You ' re getting too worked up over some downvotes and someone saying okay . <| sep |> It ' s just bad translation . In norway we gave something called promille in addition to percent . Which 8 s the same as 0 . 01 %<| sep |> The game expects you to know everything about the previous seven games . If you don ' t at least have an idea of the story , you won ' t know what ' s happening . There ' re recaps told through tape recordings , but it ' s a whole lot of exposition dumps , even when forwarding the main story . The story fits well , but it ' s still considered the worst in the series because it ' s not really what people wanted . Open world is used well for a stealth action game . It ' s no Witcher 3 though . I ' d more compare it to Shadow of Mordor where it ' s just only filled with things that want to kill you . Gameplay is fucking phenominal . Honestly , it ' s what carries the game . Incredible stealth mechanics with enemies that actually feel like real people . Every encounter feels very organic and dynamic with a million unique ways to accomplish any simple task . Great gunplay , as well some great bossfights plus one really fucking bullshit hard one . Very customizable base and gear too . I ' ll warn you , it is very blatantly unfinished . First half of the game is far superior to the second half . Not to say it ' s bad , the story progression missions are quite good . But it straight up reuses old missions amped up to a higher difficulty to pad the game length because the stuff they had wasn ' t enough to make a whole other half a game . And the final chapter was straight up cut from the game . That being said , it ' s still polished really well for what they had . Are you a Metal Gear Solid fan ? If yes , definitely get the game . You may be disappointed with the story , but it ' s still worth it because it ' s MGS . If no , get it for the gameplay . Watch a ten minute recap video on youtube so you ' re not completely lost . If Konami hadn ' t fired Kojima and just trusted him to make the game he wanted to make , I honestly believe it could have been one of the greatest games of all time .
