Oh God suddenly my private desert adventure is a PvP game in which other players can invade my base and steal my stuff and my men at any time. THIS WASN'T WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR HELP HELP

Feature: An MGS Virgin's Phantom Pain Diary, Day 7
Continuing a diary series in which an MGS virgin plays the Phantom Pain. The real trouble with Quiet is that she's lazy. Or so I incorrectly thought for the longest time.
Feature: An MGS Virgin's Phantom Pain Diary, Day 6
Continuing a diary series in which an MGS first-timer plays The Phantom Pain. On the one hand, the openness and rogue weather of Metal Gear Solid V's second zone is a spectacular, tactics-altering change from the dusty, mountainous, barren Afghanistan I've spent dozens of hours in. On the other, no, it's different, it's not the same, it's all weird, I hate it I hate it…
Feature: An MGS Virgin Plays The Phantom Pain, Day 5
I quailed at even the idea of bosses in MGSV [official site]. It’s my desert, leave me alone to do my thing, and that thing most certainly does not involve filling something big with as much heavy ordinance as is possible. A couple of encounters with the teleporting zombie super-soldiers known as The Skulls had already left a bad taste in my mouth. While stealth,…
Feature: An MGS Virgin's Phantom Pain Diary, Day 4

Feature: An MGS Virgin's Phantom Pain Diary, Day 3
Continuing a diary/review-in-progress of MGSV [official site], from the perspective of someone who hasn't really played Metal Gear Solid before. There are no plot spoilers in this one. Metal Gear Solid V is a videogame in which I travel around on a bright pink helicopter which blares Kim Wilde's Kids In America from a loudspeaker. Then I go home to my bright pink oil rig…
Feature: A Metal Gear Virgin's Phantom Pain Diary, Day 2
Continuing a diary/review-in-progress of MGSV [official site], from the perspective of someone who hasn't really played Metal Gear Solid before. This entry contains possible spoilers for some early in-game mechanics, but no plot stuff. I suspect the craziness of Metal Gear Solid V's prologue is as much the 'true' MGSV as are the rather more sober missions, so I don't want to making wild proclamations…
