Internet Reacts To Metal Gear Solid 5 Release

Nerdist

It’s been a long and emotional road, but Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has finally been released.

28 years in the making, and the Metal Gear Solid saga has now been put to bed alongside the very broken Hideo Kojima/ Konami partnership. Whether you’re still playing MGS V or lying in the foetal position gently sobbing having finished the epic story, franchise director Kojima has told the world what he intends to do today.

Welp, PS4 version of #MGSV crashed again. Sitting through unskippable intro for the third time now. Not a great start.

The release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain marks the end of an incredible era for video gaming, and looks to have set a new benchmark for current-gen games in the process.

In case you missed it, here’s the last ever trailer for Metal Gear Solid, cut by Hideo Kojima.
