Never forget just how incredible Ground Zeroes was. The flame that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. Well Ground Zeroes is about 2 hours long against the 50 hours of Phantom Pain, so it burned like 25 times brighter.

* Big Boss being a big hero.
* Incredible dense isolated setting with no wasted land.
* All substance. No fat.
* Skull Face comes across as one of the most sinister and vile villains ever.
* Skull Face doesn't take you on a 9 minute jeep ride with long awkward silence.
* Skull Face doesn't wear a lone ranger mask.

Ground Zeroes doesn't get enough love. It shouldn't have to pay for the sins of the Phantom Pain.

2 hours? Maybe if you include the optional missions and objectives. I did the main stuff in 45 minutes.

Overall phantom pain was better simply cause more content. But for what there was ground zero was designed better.

Phantom pain just needed 2 or 3 bases as well designed for major story missions.
