Goofs

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Edit

Factual errors

When obtaining a Russian translator, there are subtitles to translate the Soviet dialogue. However, there are inaccuracies. Namely, when a Soviet soldier yells "Suka!" the text reads "Damn!". "Suka" actually means "Bitch" while "Chyort" is what really means "Damn".
The game is set in 1984 However The Stinger Missiles were not available in Afghanistan until 1987.
One of the gameplay mechanics is called "Reflex Mode", which slows down the time from the player's point-of-view when they have to react to having been visually caught by the enemy. However, the scientific definition for the word 'reflex' is "an involuntary movement in response to a stimulus." The correct term would be "Reaction Mode", as the scientific definition for 'reaction time' is "the elapsed time between a sensory stimulus and the subsequent behavioral response."
Not all Soviet Soldiers spoke Russian some spoke Ukranian.

Miscellaneous

Only Venom sees the Guns differently due to the shrapnel lodged to his head so there for the Guns should return to normal when not playing as venom.
When you extract a female Prisoner Miller will still refer to the prisoner as "Him"

Anachronisms

At a certain place in the game, "qarya Sakhra Ee", there is a tape playing Europe's "The Final Countdown". As the game is supposed to be set in 1984, this would be incorrect as the track was not released until 1986.
One room in the game contains a cassette which plays The Cure's song "Friday I'm in Love". The game is set in 1984 and the song was not released until 1992.
Although all the Guns are Fake because Venom sees things differently due to the shrapnel lodged to his head The "Brennan Sniper Rifle" very much resembles the AW50 RIFLE which was not invented until 2000 and the game takes place between 1984-1995.
Although all the Weapons are Fake because Venom sees things differently due to the shrapnel lodged to his head The "CGM 25" very much resembles the Anachronistic FGM-148 Javelin which was not invented until 1996 and the game takes place between 1984-1995.
