    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    Game » consists of 19 releases. Released Sep 01, 2015

    The final main entry in the Metal Gear Solid series bridges the events between Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the original Metal Gear, as Big Boss wakes up from a nine-year coma in 1984 to rebuild his mercenary paradise.

    Everyone saw the exclamation point on the box art right?

    So, I just bought mgs v on the xbox games sale and I noticed the big "V" on the front cover with the space cut out of it looked just like a weird looking exclamation mark or like two exclamation marks combined.

    This is super dumb and it makes me laugh. I'm guessing everyone saw this right? I cant take the game seriously at all now haha.

    Yes, roughly five years ago.

    But you just bought the game, so, it's understandable.

    I just reinstalled the game today and was like: "huh..did I notice that that V was 2 exclamation marks before?..." Its such a coincidence you posted this today hahah.

    So, im honestly not sure I noticed when it just came out but I did just happen to notice it today xD

    I think this actualy ties in incredibly well with mgs vs themes of having differing interpretations of the same thing now that I think about it. Is the V in mgsV supposed to signify that its the 5th metal gear solid?(but it isnt even, its like the 6th) Is it supposed to just be the letter V for venom. or "V for victory"/Peace. OR like you just pointed out 2 exclamation marks merging into one....which you could also interpret as having meaning regarding mgs V xD OR it could be all of those things, none of em exclude the other. Its all on you how you see it.

    Kinda like how everyone interprets the boss's will differently.

    @bakoomerang: I'd like to think that if i browsed this game in the store or blockbuster (when those were a thing) then i probably would have caught it. I preordered and picked it up day one.. but yeah i usually have an eye for this stuff. Missed it.
