The Phantom Game
Which works better? “The Phantom Game,” wherein all ofMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painhas a phantom writhing in its codes, aGhost in the Machine, and also “game” and “pain” are like almost near rhymes; or, the much more obvious, “The Phantom Missions,” which sounds worse? Let me know.
Konami itself let us see a somewhat important chapter that wascompletely cutfrom the game and is otherwisevery god damn necessaryto wrap up a story thread inThe Phantom Pain(let aloneactuallyconnect to the rest of the series). But could there be more?
Not quite cut, but likely never to be found otherwise, there is one tangential ending. But there’s also the data-mining that pointed to an entire cut third chapter, “Peace,” as if the pacing wasn’t messed up enough. Even more data-mining onreddithas found additional missions, including a bunch more “replay on harder difficulty” ones in Africa, which could be roughly the same size as “Chapter 2.”
