Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

The most important change for this title is the shift to an open world design with a real-time day and night cycle doing away with the linear mission approach of previous games.

The protagonist is Big Boss (Snake) and the game is set in 1975 after the events of Peace Walker .

Snake works with Militaires Sans Frontières and needs to infiltrate an American black site Camp Omega on Cuba where Cipher agent Paz and child soldier Chico, two returning characters from Peace Walker , are held.

This is the only location in the game and it consists of a large base with different sections, courtyards, outhouses and concrete tunnels, surrounded by rocks and foliage offering many entry points.

The game offers the single objective to free them and the player determines the approach.

To add to this freedom, helpful tools from previous titles, such as the Soliton radar map with the waypoints, have been removed.

Snake can however mark enemies through his binoculars to keep track of movement.

The mini-map has been replaced with a map accessed through a handheld iDroid device, but using it does not pause the game.

The iDroid functions can also be accessed through an Adroid or iOS companion app on a real mobile device in conjunction with the game.

It can be used to set waypoints, check mission information and listen to audio files.

There is no longer a camouflage system.

Instead, cues need to be taken from the opportunities in the surroundings and the time of day, with light and shadow, also play a role.

Although the focus is on stealth, the sandbox design also offers a more direct approach with guns and explosives.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, loose is €11.57 and CIB is €7.51 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is currently worth €11.57 loose, versus €11.12 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
