Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain/Awesome


  • Mission 6 gives us Skull Face making one hell of an entrance complete with a creepy and awesome preview of Metal Gear Sahelanthropus. It can also be one for Venom, should he take down the Skulls.
  • The end of Mission 7 is one for Venom. You discover that Venom has been so effective at basically making Afghanistan his bitch they are calling in reinforcements. To put this in proper perspective, Venom is one man, and he's so badass an entire division of the Soviet Army is calling in reinforcements just to take him out.
  • Mission 9, provided you do really good at it, is another awesome moment for Venom, since he winds up pissing off the Soviets so badly they send a gunship and extra tanks, just to kill him alone. This is AFTER having taken out several tanks and other armored vehicles in under 15 minutes.
  • Mission 12 finally shows off Metal Gear Sahelanthropus in all it glory, complete with Skull Face giving it a bombastic introduction.
  • Mission 33 has the final confrontation with Sahelanthropus, which, in a first for the series, makes for an awesome battle where Afghanistan itself is the massive, open world battleground to take it down. However, the real awesome comes afterwards when Venom and Kaz Pay Evil Unto Evil on Skull Face by blowing his limbs off with a shotgun as payback for all the phantom pain he left them with.
