While (as far as I know) players will not have the option of upgrading or altering Big Boss's combat abilities, as they will remain constant throughout the game, what players will be able to upgrade and customize is pretty much everything else pertaining to the character, such as his armor/ attire, his weapons (including his bionic/ prosthetic arm), his private military company (that's right, he'll have his own army called "Diamond Dogs"), and his base of operations (Mother Base). Via the Fulton Surface-to-air Recovery System, attire and equipment (such as vehicles, weapons, and even animals) can be extracted from the field or delivered to Big Bosswhile conducting field operations. Also, though I'm not sure whether military personnel can be transported to the field, I do know that members of enemy forces can be extracted via the aforementioned method and then persuaded to join you when you return to your Mother Base.
Speaking of Mother Base, it will be a huge off-shore facility whose structure, color, and logo players will be able to alter. It will house their private army, as well as whatever equipment they've gathered from the field or from the Mother Bases of other players via the online component. Heck, even wild animals, such as goats, sheeps, and wolves collected via the aforementioned means will be housed there.
Also, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's world will stretch from the Middle East all the way to Africa and will revolve around the player's Mother Base, from which - via chopper - they will make their way to various countries, such as Afghanistan and the Congo. Hands down, its world will be bigger than that of any other game released this year.
Bringing this abundance of technical features to life will be an incredible story conveyed through professional talent. I don't think the stories of any other games released this year or that will be released this year will compare to that of a heartbroken and mentally unstable man on an intercontinental quest for revenge. Via top-notch voice acting and motion-capture, the performances that will drive this game's story are going to, no doubt, be the best of this year, if not this generation.
I honestly just don't see how any other game will compare.
