Nerdist28 years in the making, and the Metal Gear Solid saga has now been put to bed alongside the very broken Hideo Kojima/ Konami partnership. Whether you’re still playing MGS V or lying in the foetal position gently sobbing having finished the epic story, franchise director Kojima has told the world what he intends to do today.
I’ll be listening to “Here’s To You” on MGSV TPP launch. TRIUMPH/VICTORY to all. “Life means a lot more than losses” pic.twitter.com/YzJgCk4tk7

Welp, PS4 version of #MGSV crashed again. Sitting through unskippable intro for the third time now. Not a great start.
