So, in the interests of helping those out there who, like me, suffer from KPPD (Kojima’s Phantom Pain Disorder), I made this brief list of (relatively) easy-to-implement mods that would go a long way in making Phantom Pain less heartbreakingly sub-standard for such a quality franchise as Metal Gear.Īn issue with MGSV is that it’s a tad too easy, compared to the other MGS games. I don’t really care whether MGSV is flawed on purpose or not – I just want it to be fixed! In recent weeks, a theory has emerged which posits Kojima intentionally set up false expectations in order to give everybody who played the game some ‘phantom pain’ of their own. Though there’s a lot in Phantom Pain to love, the level of wasted potential in Hideo Kojima’s final MGS title left me feeling positively despondent. If you read my review of MGSV: The Phantom Pain, you know that I had painfully mixed feelings about this game.
