This is one of those posts that just makes me sad for you that you can't get enjoyment out of things that are so clearly brilliant (although I can't speak to MGS5 as I never played anything past 2).
I wonder how much of this is getting older, and priorities and tastes changing.

MGS 1, 2, 3, and 4 I remember picking up immediately and playing them to death. I had exactly the same problem as Huntingwhale with MGS 5 (GZ and TPP both). I still haven't finished GZ and moved onto TPP, even though I bought both upon launch. Hell, I have the MGS 3 remake and even that I started playing and something felt... off.

Meanwhile I've been playing through The Division 2 on a near-daily basis. I dunno.
