Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (GOTY, 93 Meta)

[Kerotan]

So 3 million first day shipment.  

70% share in the UK. Looks like over 2.1m of those are ps4 and another good chunk of the rest ps3 considering it did decent numbers in Japan.

Also game dropped to a 94 on meta.  

I'm glad reviews are so slow.  There are about 50 reviews missing that would usually cover this.  It means they are actually putting in the time and effort to finish the game.

Kojima for his Swan song created a metal gear that is 95% gameplay and 5%?cutscenes.  I love the way each metal gear is so different.  Everyone has a different favourite.

There'd be less enemies for three reasons; first is the time you would need to send soldiers.  A base isn't going to magically replenish itself right away.  Especially when you move more than 10 meters away without even going to your helicopter. 2. an army is finite.  You should technically be able to recruit the entire enemy.  3. this is a game, poor design choice shouldn't be chosen for realism.  Can you imagine if there was a stamina meter in this game?

I finally beat all the side stuff and completionist things.

I'm more than happy with the way it is.  and I love the way some of the combat deployment missions weaken the enemies.

Wow that&#39;s pretty interesting. Do you know why he did that?

Not very, I'm spending most of my time in side ops. Probably why this is bugging me more than everyone else.

I wonder if they count Steam sales with the shipments?

Loads of 9/10 added today brought it down

I've about 30 side ops and 15 main missions done.  No problems for me.  

Also done a lot of combat deployment.

You've yet to reach the really bloated parts of the game.
