Tell Us Dammit: Are You Excited About Metal Gear Solid V?

It’s pretty crazy. Metal Gear Solid V comes out in August. That’s next month! Are you excited? Indifferent?

Remember the release of Metal Gear Solid 2? Honestly, it was massive. Ridiculous. At the time it felt like a launch on par with a Grand Theft Auto or a Halo. Now? I can’t help shift the feeling that Metal Gear Solid V is just another video game. Seems like people were more excited for games like The Witcher 3.

Why is that? Has everyone just moved on from the Metal Gear series. Has it been too watered down with the Peace Walker series? Was Metal Gear Solid IV that much of a disappointment?

For me, as someone who loved Metal Gear Solid IV, I’m starting to get pretty excited for the sequel. Outside of the weird controversies, silly overblown cut-scenes, terrible dialogue, etc, Metal Gear Solid games are always incredible stealth games. The best really. I can’t wait to experiment with all the systems.

How about you?
