Will you remember Metal Gear Solid V as the most incomplete game ever released? (Retrospective)

I will remember it as the biggest injustice ever done to Kojima and his team.
As a game as a whole... An unfinished one which is on Konami

Hmm, it might be. It's the only game where I've literally felt like I was playing some beta version for the last third. It felt so incomplete that I started to wonder if it was some kind of joke. All I could think was "yeah, this is where they pulled the plug and had to rush everything".
Because the game was thought to be a complete or finished product. A loose comparison would be like buying a novel with the last pages/chapters torn out or missing.
The core gameplay was so polished (and still holds up so well), the clunkiness of the story in the late game didn't phase me. It's never felt incomplete, it just felt narratively clunky - but frankly every MGS post MGS1 felt clunky (or worse) to me anyway so...
Felt complete to me. Just because people rip apart the floorboards and find blueprints for a third story, it doesn't mean that this lovely completed two story house is not complete.
Not after playing FFXV...
Although I do think MGSV's incompleteness is the most jarring just because we got to see what exactly was planned in an unfinished cutscene and those few missions would've saved the game for me, easily. FFXV had multiple games cut going back a decade. I can live with that.
