Little backstory, the first Metal Gear Solid Game I played was the Phantom Pain and it didn't make much sense to me so my history with this franchise was off to an odd start. But playing this I finally see why Metal Gear Solid has left such an impact on those who played it. My only regret is not playing this game when I was younger.

I bought this when it first came out and refunded it due to horrible performance issues. Bought the game again recently after the patch because all the reviews were good and I figured they fixed the issues.... I was wrong. The game is still an un-optimized UE5 mess. I honestly dont understand these positive reviews. I have a 7800x3D and a 5070ti and the game just looks/plays horrific. Ghosting issues, artifacting, vaseline smearing and it just hurts my eyes after an hour. I cant even alt+tab out of the game without it crashing. I'm so sick of this UE5 slop and devs who dont know how to properly make games on this engine. These studios need to STOP outsourcing games to 3rd world countries that barely even know what a calculator is and get some proper devs in Japan, the U.S or even China to make these games! Im going to go buy Phantom Pain again (For the 4th time). At least The Fox Engine is solid. Why Konami got rid of it over this UE5 slop is beyond me. Maybe I'll come back if they ever fix this crap.
