Hi guys considering impulse buying this game but thought I'd ask first ! 

Is it good ? What do you think of it?

what kind of game is it comparable too ? 

Anything like farcry or tomb raider ? 

Is it big open world ? 

Mate the graphics good ? 

Mans what kind of performance could I expect ? 

Mans does it support sli :) 

 

thanks x

It is good, but unfortunately it's lore heavy. You kind of need to have a cursory knowledge of what happened during Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Metal Gear Solid is kind of its own thing, i.e., other games are compared to it. The closest thing I can think of would be the recent Splinter Cell games, but that's about it. It's a sneaking game, if that makes the description of it any less vague.

Not really. You can run and gun in those games. Metal Gear Solid will not be forgiving if you go this route. It's possible, but you'll probably die. A lot.

Depends on your definition of "big". There's two main areas and they're both about 6 square miles.

This is all rendered in game, so you decide.

The game is surprisingly easy to run, but it has a self-imposed frame limiter of whatever your monitor's refresh rate is.

Yes, but a single GTX 980 Ti can run this at 1440p no problem.
