As someone who's never played a Metal Gear Solid game for longer than five minutes before now, who skipped this game when it came out because I thought it was going to be impossible to understand and didn't think I would enjoy it, play this game. It's high quality action, stealth (optional most of the time), private army managing fun. The backstory for the uninitiated is nicely covered in audio logs, and isn't essential to enjoy this game. It's also one of the best optimized games I've ever played, running at consistantly high frame rates on machine BELOW the minimum system specs listed without changing any of the graphics options from default. Play MGS V. It's quality with a capital Q.
