MGSV's story so far is amazing though. Kojima really did a good job showing not telling with this game after recieving harsh criticism over the 12 hour cutscenes in MGS4. People who are saying it lacks story are the same people who think the Souls series lacks story. In both cases its becasue the story is not forced on you, its all about how much you want to examine and explore it. I'm just gonna stop you right there. Comparing MGSVs story to DKS is a moot point. DKS was intentionally made the way it was, it always felt complete, even before the Artorias of the Abyss DLC. If you knew how the story was presented.

Where's this amazing story in MGSV? It raises more questions than it answers. It introduces 2 brand new characters, doesn't close up their stories in a good way (imo). MGSV atm feels like it was rushed to a point of sloppiness.

However, if you enjoy it, who am I to say you shouldn't. Personally I feel it's the weakest entry in the main saga. Yeah, which is even MORE sad since apparently this game was in development since at LEAST 2010. Even Peace Walker was better story-wise than this, and I'm not particularly fond of Peace Walker and how it made various characters OOC and its story was largely pointless. Heck, that game was made in about a year. OOC? Out of character. I won't get into any more details to avoid opening up a whole other can of worms.
