I'm the complete opposite and found the actual gameplay of MGSV much more satisfying than XV. I could sneak around in the fox engine all day.

Story-wise the two games cancel each other out. Both seem to have a story to tell but can't tell it well. Both require additional legwork to actually understand the story, beyond the act of playing the game . For XV, you have to watch a pretty bad prologue movie, download multiple DLC's which aren't integrated into the story very well, and even then you probably need to read a wiki.

For MGSV you gotta listen to hours and hours of tapes, most of which are boring exposition dumps. There are a handful of good ones. Maybe this is in a way Peace Walker's fault, because the tapes there were actually kind of fun, but here they are not. So yeah, story-wise it's a wash. One has cup noodles, the other kazuhira burgers.
