It was released worldwide on September 1, 2015. It is the ninth installment in the series that was directed, written and designed by following, a stand-alone prologue released the previous year, as well as his final work at Konami. Set in 1984, nine years after the events of Ground Zeroes and a decade before the events of the original, the story follows mercenary leader as he ventures into -occupied and the – border region to exact revenge on the people who destroyed his forces and came close to killing him during the climax of Ground Zeroes. It carries over the tagline of Tactical Espionage Operations first used in. The Phantom Pain was critically acclaimed upon release, with its gameplay drawing praise for featuring a variety of and interconnected systems which allow a high degree of player freedom in approaching objectives. While the story drew criticism from some critics for its lack of focus, others acknowledged its emotional power and exploration of mature.

The game received perfect review scores from several publications, and was described by many to be one of the greatest stealth games of all time. A complete edition which bundles The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes together, titled Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, was released in October 2016. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Gameplay [ ] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is an, game in which players take the role of Punished 'Venom' Snake from a in an environment.

The gameplay elements were largely unchanged from Ground Zeroes, meaning that players will have to sneak from several points in the game world, avoiding enemy guards, and remaining undetected. Included in Snake's repertoire are binoculars, maps, a variety of weapons, explosives, and stealth-based items such as cardboard boxes and decoys. Following one of the series traditions, The Phantom Pain encourages players to progress through the game without killing, using non-lethal weapons such as tranquilizer darts to subdue enemies. Players may traverse the game world with vehicles such as jeeps and tanks, in addition to traveling on foot or on horseback, and as certain locations are mountainous, occasionally, players can opt to go as a short cut.

They may call for helicopter support against enemy soldiers or request airstrikes that can bomb the target area or change the current weather. Snake can call on AI companions—including, a silent female sniper with supernatural abilities; D-Horse, a horse with a customizable saddle for carrying more equipment in the field; D-Walker, a manned, highly agile mobile weapons platform that can provide heavy weapons support; and D-Dog, a wolf pup raised and trained on the new Mother Base to assist him in the field.

The companions' abilities and their effectiveness will depend on the player's relationship with them. There is a large emphasis based around tactics in The Phantom Pain. As in Peace Walker, The Phantom Pain features a base-building system that allows players to develop weapons and items from their home base. Recruitment of enemy soldiers and has also returned for this purpose, allowing the base to grow through organization. The player is given the option to access their base from their real-life smartphones and other devices via a companion app. Unlike in Peace Walker where players can only see Mother Base from the air, they can control Snake as he explores the complex on foot.

The, an item introduced into gameplay in Peace Walker, returns as well, with players able to transport captured soldiers and other objects such as animals and vehicles back to Mother Base. Money for upgrading Mother Base's defenses and technology can be collected from objects found all over the map, such as diamonds, shipping containers, and special blueprint boxes, as well as sending recruited soldiers on combat missions around the world. The income is invested on upgrades to the appearance and abilities, weapons and equipment of Snake, his AI companions, and vehicles. For example, Snake's prosthetic arm can be modified with a taser, echolocation function, or remote controls that allow it to fly as a drone. The enemy AI has improved in terms of situational awareness.

If players frequently use particular weapons or tactics to subdue enemy soldiers, repeats of the mission will see the enemy increase in numbers and be outfitted with better equipment; for example, the frequent use of headshots will see enemy soldiers don metal helmets to make targeting the head harder. The game has a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that runs in real-time, and the time taken to travel from one location to another affects the time of day when the player arrives at their destination. The cycle is able to be fast-forwarded when Snake lights a 'Phantom Cigar', a type of; a digital silver panel appears on screen to denote time. The passage of time enables players to analyze the movement of marked enemy forces in the area, such as shifts in sentry patrols and individual patrol routes.

Weather effects, such as sandstorms and rain, affects the gameplay environment by reducing visibility or masking the sound of footsteps. A game design direction allows the player to choose in what order the story events take place by selecting missions in any order they like, and yet still 'understand the encompassing message by the end'.

Kojima spoke about the restrictive nature of previous Metal Gear Solid titles, saying that they 'set [the player] on one rail to get from point A to point B, with a certain amount of freedom between'. In stark contrast, The Phantom Pain offers players new ways of traversal and sneaking methods, such as taking a motorcycle, plane or helicopter to the mission area (however, usage of the former two vehicles was later dropped during development).

Players are able to traverse the game world or deploy directly to landing zones that allow for different approaches. A video published after the E3 2015 convention showcased this, with the same mission played four times in a number of different ways: with the player opting for stealth, launching a direct assault via helicopter gunship, attempting to assassinate a target with a sniper rifle, and smuggling an explosive device into an enemy base by way of an unsuspecting patrol vehicle crew. The player's actions affects the wider game world; for example, sabotaging a radar installation will open up new entry points, which was in order for Kojima to accomplish a 'true open world experience'.

According to, Konami confirmed that the playable world in The Phantom Pain is two hundred times larger than that of Ground Zeroes, featuring a variety of climate conditions and environments. This allows the players to freely roam the map while proceeding to either story missions or sidequests, as in other games with. In addition, players who have previously played Ground Zeroes are able to import save data into The Phantom Pain and gain special perks. Multiplayer [ ] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain includes two multiplayer modes: first, the new, developed by Kojima Productions' newly formed Los Angeles division (now known as Konami Los Angeles Studio). The first footage for multiplayer was revealed in December 2014.

While originally set for launch alongside the release of The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Online was postponed to October 6 for consoles and January 2016 for Microsoft Windows. The second multiplayer mode is an extension of the Mother Base base-building feature. Players are able to expand their operations to include 'Forward Operating Bases' which can be used to generate resources and income for the single-player campaign.

These facilities can be attacked by other players, making a player-versus-player mode available whereby the attacking team attempts to steal resources and/or soldiers and the defending team tries to protect the Forward Operating Base from the intruder. Defenders will be able to call on their friends to aid in the defence, especially if their Forward Operating Base is attacked during a story mission. Players are able to customize the security, staffing and layout of their Forward Operating Bases, allowing for a large number of compound configurations. Following the success or failure of the intrusion, the location of the attacking player's Forward Operating Base is revealed to the defending player; however, defending players can only launch a retaliatory strike if the attacker was discovered during their infiltration. The Forward Operating Base feature is intended to be an entirely separate multiplayer experience to Metal Gear Online, and is also needed to increase the number of combat units the player can deploy. During development, Kojima Productions and Konami attracted criticism for their decision to include; a system that allows players to pay for access to content in the game. However, a spokesperson for Kojima Productions confirmed that the system was included to benefit players who may not have the time to complete the game, given its scale, and that no content would be available exclusively through microtransactions.

Further controversy emerged following the publication of an early review claiming that the Forward Operating Base mode was behind a paywall, which Konami refuted saying that microtransactions acted as an rather than a paywall. • • • Premise [ ] In the aftermath of the events of Ground Zeroes and the destruction of (commonly abbreviated as MSF), (/) falls into a coma. Nine years later, he awakens and helps lead a new mercenary group,.

Along the way, he becomes reacquainted with his former rival (/) and encounters (), an assassin and sniper with supernatural abilities. While he and (/) are initially driven to exact revenge, Snake soon unearths a plot by the to develop a new model of the system known as the ST-84 'Sahelanthropus'. Characters [ ]. See also: In contrast to previous Metal Gear installments, Kojima Productions conducted the and with English-speaking actors and stuntmen first. While was used before for Metal Gear Solid 4, it was done separately from the actual voice acting. The Japanese voice acting was dubbed over the English cast's performance afterward, in contrast to previous releases in the series since Metal Gear Solid 2, which had the characters' vocal and facial expressions lip-synched specifically to both, Japanese and English voice acting.

'This time, Snake won't really speak much at all. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is an open world game focused on giving freedom to the player who will drive Snake's actions. Snake himself will be more of a silent protagonist similar to in.

It's the characters around him who will expand the story.' Hideo Kojima On June 6, 2013, during the annual Konami Pre-E3 show, Konami confirmed that actor provided Snake's voice and performed motion capture work for the game, taking a role over voice actor. Kojima's reason for replacing Hayter was to 'have a more subdued performance expressed through subtle facial movements and tone of voice rather than words', and that he 'needed someone who could genuinely convey both the facial and vocal qualities of a man in his late 40s'. Hollywood producer and director suggested to Kojima that Sutherland could fulfill his requirements. Was unaffected by this casting change and continued to voice Snake in the Japanese version. On March 4, 2015, Kojima revealed that Snake would have less dialogue in The Phantom Pain than previous installments. The reasoning behind it was to make Snake come across as an extension to the player and that he 'will act based on [player's actions] rather than doing things like making spontaneous comments or flirting with women.'

Other members of the voice cast include as, as Code Talker, as Skull Face, as Kazuhira Miller, as Dr. Emmerich and Piers Stubbs as. The Japanese dub features as Miller, as Emmerich, Takaya Hashi as Skull Face, as Ocelot, (whose previous roles include Sergei Gurlukovich in and The End in ) as Code Talker, and Yūtarō Honjō as Eli.

The pair escape the hospital while evading pursuit from Cipher's soldiers and two superhumans, and. Although Big Boss loses sight of Ishmael, he is recovered by his ally, and brought aboard, a new mercenary group founded by on an offshore platform near the. Big Boss adopts the code name ' and begins searching for Cipher.

During his journey, Snake becomes involved in the and the Wars, and he recruits Quiet, who no longer speaks and has gained superhuman abilities; scientist;, a British child believed to be, who leads a band of child soldiers; and, a expert on parasites forced to work for Cipher. Snake learns that Cipher's leader Major Zero was usurped and, a rogue faction of Cipher, was responsible for destroying MSF. XOF's leader, considers Cipher's plan to unite the world for peace as the same as making it culturally American, obliterating other cultures. To avoid this, he intends to release a unique parasite that kills anyone who speaks.

A modified parasite was used to give Quiet and Skull Face's elite soldiers, the Skulls, their unusual abilities. After releasing the English strain parasite, Skull Face plans to make nuclear weapons available to as many groups as he can, believing that will stop the weapons actually being used, attaining world peace while still protecting the integrity of each culture. However, he will secretly retain remote control of the weapons. Skull Face intends to use the threat of the latest Metal Gear system, known as ST-84 'Sahelanthropus', to make nuclear weapons desirable again, but as he cannot get it to function, he is dependent on the Third Child's psychic abilities to manipulate it.

During a test, the Third Child turns against Skull Face, having Sahelanthropus seriously wound him and crush the Man on Fire. Although Snake defeats the Metal Gear, he is only able to recover one of Skull Face's three parasite vials; one goes missing and the other is taken by the Third Child and given to Eli.

Skull Face is left to die by Snake and Miller, but Huey executes him. The Diamond Dogs return to their base with Sahelanthropus. Following their return, Eli, the Third Child and the child soldiers steal Sahelanthropus and flee the base. It transpires that the Third Child was not consciously working for Skull Face, but his psychic powers enthralled him to the will of the most vengeful person nearby, meaning Sahelanthropus's attack was instigated by Eli.

An epidemic of parasites occurs on base forcing Snake to personally kill many of his own men to contain it. To honor them, he has their cremated remains turned into diamonds to carry into battle. Huey is accused of causing the epidemic while attempting to mutate the parasites to sell as weapons. Alongside suspicion of his role in MSF's destruction, and evidence that he murdered his wife while arguing over using in experiments, Snake exiles him from Diamond Dogs. Following this event, Quiet disappears in Afghanistan.

Code Talker reveals that Quiet was infected with the English strain parasite with the intention of joining Diamond Dogs in order to spread it, but her allegiance shifted to Snake and so she remained silent to prevent an outbreak. Huey's mutation of the parasite convinced Quiet that she could not guarantee the safety of Diamond Dogs. Snake finds her and helps her fight an onslaught of vehicles. They defeat the wave but as another one approaches they're forced to hide in a sandstorm. She is then forced to speak to summon help when Snake is bitten by a venomous snake.

Quiet flees to avoid causing another epidemic. It is later revealed that Venom Snake is not actually Big Boss but a loyal MSF medic caught in the same explosion that injured the real Big Boss, Ishmael. During his coma, the medic was transformed into a second Big Boss via and to serve as a decoy for the actual Big Boss while he wages a covert war against Cipher. Snake goes on to set the events of the in motion, and dies at the hands of. The original Big Boss resurfaces during the. Miller and Ocelot discuss Big Boss' plans to create Outer Heaven. While Ocelot remains supportive, Miller is disgusted at his former ally's deception, but agrees to continue assisting Venom Snake and Big Boss's sons in hopes of contributing to the real Big Boss's downfall.

He also confirmed that the length of the cutscenes were reduced, as he believed that long cutscenes had become outdated. In an interview with, Kojima expressed concerns over whether or not Ground Zeroes would be released. He claimed that his aim was to target taboos and mature themes, which he considered to be 'quite risky', adding that his roles as creator and producer were in conflict with one another; as creator, Kojima wanted to take the risk of exploring themes that might alienate audiences, but as producer, he had to be able to tone down the content in order to sell as many copies of the game as possible. Ultimately, the role of creator won out, and Kojima described his approach as 'prioritizing creativity over sales'.

However, he made it clear that the PC port was not their priority. Kojima confirmed that the visuals seen in the trailer would look close to those in the final game. He also stated that he would like Metal Gear Solid V to be his final Metal Gear game, noting that unlike previous titles where he had announced that he had finished making games in the series, only to return for subsequent games, his involvement with the franchise would be over this time around.

Although the trailer had Snake suffering from hallucinations in the form of a flaming whale, Kojima assured that there would be a balance in realism. Kojima later revealed that The Phantom Pain was initially presented as an independent game so as to assess the public and industry response to the, as he felt that announcing the game as part of Metal Gear Solid V would bias reactions to the engine.

To accomplish this, the loss of Mother Base, which the player developed throughout Peace Walker, would serve as motivation for revenge for both Snake and the player. Kojima also tried making Snake relatable to newcomers of the series by making him unaware of what happened in the nine years during which he was in a coma. Weapons, vehicles and other armaments are unlicensed and fictional in The Phantom Pain, just as they were in Ground Zeroes, unlike previous Metal Gear Solid games that included mostly real-world based weaponry.

Awarded the game a score of 10/10, complimenting the way the gameplay mechanics worked together and the organic nature of the open-ended missions that allowed players to create their own memorable experiences, without being punished for deviating from stealth, but criticising the overarching storyline as lacking focus.

The review concluded that The Phantom Pain is 'a gameplay marvel, rewarding intelligence and creativity in a way few games do.' Also gave the game a 10/10, similarly praising its 'near impeccable' gameplay, commenting that, alongside main and side missions, 'emergent scenarios serve as the third pillar of The Phantom Pain 's open-world gameplay experience'. The review also highlighted the meaningful development of the characters despite being beholden to the original Metal Gear as the conclusion of Venom Snake's character arc.

The Phantom Pain was the twenty-third game—and the third in the Metal Gear series—to ever receive a perfect 40/40 review rating from Japanese magazine. Awarded the game 9.5/10, praising the story's emotional power and thematic concerns exploring the futility of war in a much more compelling and cohesive way than other franchises such as and, as well as the way in which the game world responded to the player's actions.

However, the review was critical of the reliance on resource management, particularly in the way assaults on Forward Operating Bases could interrupt and distract from key missions. Awarded it a score of 9/10, saying that the game is 'equal parts tough and flashy, and it's fitting that if this is Kojima's last Metal Gear, he goes on a high note.' 's Joe Juba awarded the game 9.25/10, praising the mission design for its flexibility and offering players multiple pathways to completion without restricting their choice of weapons or equipment.

However, despite seeing the value in restructuring the narrative to compliment the open world platform and the episodic mission structure given the series' complex mythology, Juba felt that this went too far with the result being that the player could stumble into crucial story elements without context. 's Michael McWhertor also awarded the game 9/10, similarly praising the game mechanics, but directing criticism at the convoluted storyline which it felt hinged on a detailed knowledge of the series' mythos to the point where it would be inaccessible to newcomers to the franchise. The Phantom Pain was also positively received outside the traditional gaming media.

The game received criticism for forcing players to replay missions on higher difficulty settings to unlock the final missions, and for the Forward Operating Bases mode being locked behind a at the time of release, which Konami later refuted. Portrayal of Quiet [ ]. Main article: Before the release of the game, the presentation of the female character Quiet became a topic of controversy concerning her appearance. Designer David Ellis criticized her for being and a negative affirmation of the stereotype of the game industry as 'full of man babies'. Kojima and Konami released Quiet figurines in May 2015 as part of the game's promotion.

The figure's soft, pliable breasts were criticized in social media and in the press. The finished game drew more criticism of Quiet's portrayal in both reviews and opinion pieces. 's David Roberts described Quiet as 'one of the most complex and conflicted characters in MGS5', but that her depiction was an example of a 'juvenile approach to sexuality' that typifies Kojima's work and the Metal Gear series as a whole. Michael McWhertor of Polygon described the justification for Quiet's lack of clothing as 'inextricably tied to the game's convoluted story', and criticized how the game presented other female characters by 'zeroing in on their jiggling breasts and panning across their asses in a silly, oversexualized way.'

Removed content [ ]. Further information: Following the release of The Phantom Pain, many ascertained that the tensions between Konami and Kojima had had an effect on the development of the game which could be seen in the end product, specifically with regards to the storyline. The decision to force players to replay past missions to progress through the second half of the story was criticized, with one theory being that original content had been envisioned but which had not been incorporated into the finished game, resulting in the reused sections for time constraints. Another aspect that received similar criticism was the story ending, which many agreed felt abrupt and left several plot points unresolved. The general consensus was that such shortcomings with the design choices had resulted from Konami giving strict deadlines for the game's release, as well as their dissatisfaction with how much money Kojima had spent on development.

Strong evidence that story content had indeed been cut from the final version was made known shortly after release; those who had bought the Collector's Edition of the game discovered that the bonus disc included footage of an in-game mission, 'Episode 51', that continued on from the end of the campaign, having not been included in the game. The mission itself tied up an important plot thread and provided closure to the relationship between two of the characters, and as a result many felt it would have also made a more satisfactory ending. Similarly, not long after this discovery, users of the forums who had been extracting data from the PC version of the game's files found evidence of a third story chapter, titled 'Chapter 3: Peace', not included in the final version of the game. Konami later neither confirmed nor denied that Chapter 3 had been fully cut from the main game. Brian Eno Cards Oblique Strategies Pdf Viewer on this page. Metal Gear Solid community manager Robert Allen Peeler was asked via if any upcoming downloadable content would be released for The Phantom Pain, in the hope that the story content would be included, but this was refuted. Many fans also believed that, due to the chapter's title, it was somehow linked to Konami's 'Nuclear Disarmament Event' which was opened shortly after launch with the goal of revealing a secret in the game, and which would close once all in-game nuclear weapons that had been manufactured by players were disposed of.

Data miners had uncovered a related cutscene within the game's files that would be released once the event had finished, however speculation still spread that Chapter 3 was connected in some way. Robert Allen Peeler discussed player's suspicions via Twitter and Reddit and did not deny that further events may occur once the disarmament had ended. In addition to Chapter 3 and Episode 51, data miners also uncovered numerous other examples of content that had not been included in The Phantom Pain, ranging from gameplay features to cutscenes; however, what precisely had been removed as a result of the Konami-Kojima conflict, and what had simply been abandoned earlier in development out of choice, was open to discussion. Regardless, due to the missing story content and subsequent narrative flaws, the game was labelled by some as being unfinished.

Conversely, argued that the game's finished state was deliberate on Kojima's part. Speaking to, Kojima himself seemingly alluded to the fact that he considered the game unfinished when stating that the new intellectual property he was developing since leaving Konami (later revealed as ) would be 'a complete game.' After the announcement of Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, which would include all previously released downloadable content, several fans took this as an opportunity to voice their concerns via Twitter about the missing content that had been uncovered, particularly with regards to Episode 51. Konami responded that Episode 51 had been removed in the early development stages of the game as it had not been intended to be a pivotal ending to the story, and that there were no future plans to have the mission available to play.

Hi everyone, I grew up with MG games and the series is close to my heart. I bought a 3D printer recently and have been dying to find some 3D CAD files (not renderings) of characters from the series.

I had solid snake and Meryl action figures when I was younger, but lost them. I've searched high and low on the internet. I never thought to ask the subreddit and am hoping any of you may have some files or can point me towards ones you've found in the past. Best I've found was only solid snakes head and the solid eye, which I printed already.

But, no full characters models. Thank you for reading and any help:) • • • • •.
