There are a few cutscenes between missions now and again, but besides the Prologue chapter (which, holy shit, you have to see to believe), most are short by Metal Gear standards. The narrative takes a backseat for a good portion of the experience. Just know that Quiet is not focused on for too much of the game, and shouldn’t distract from what is otherwise an impossibly fun game.Įasily the biggest change between this and previous entries in Metal Gear is the story’s emphasis, or rather the lack thereof. Plenty of debates have been had over her overt sex appeal, and this is not the place to delve into that. Yet, she’s also one badass sniper whom you’d hate to have to fight against. She’s every stereotypical, heterosexual man’s perfect woman: curvy, wears few clothes, and doesn’t talk much. Let’s just get this out of the way now: it’s hard to pinpoint what Kojima was attempting to do with her. Just know that several characters make triumphant returns, and a few new ones are introduced such as the much-debated sniper Quiet. I will attempt to review The Phantom Pain spoiler-free.
