Most likely for MGO.

This. I'm not worried.

 

[Exploratory]

In Metal Gear Solid? Is nothing sacred anymore?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I mean... It is 2015. The war against DLC was lost a long time ago.

Gamers defeated themselves in this war by not actually holding up their threats to stop buying games from publishers that cram it down your throat.

 

[Shauni]

Wonder if this adde to the rift of Kojima and Konami

Pretty sure that rift is as wide as it's going to get no matter what at this point. It's over between them, I think that's pretty obvious right now.

 

[OG Loc]

Well, duh.

 

[Crossing Eden]

From the previews it seemed like

Spoiler

you can send your mother base agents on missions and stuff, similar to dragon age inquisition, VERY similar as in they will take up real world time.

With the difference being that you have to pay to speed things up. Would really suck if true. -_-

 

[Altered Juice]

single player microtransaction? LOL no!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Or people really just don't care to report it. If people didn't see this a mile away then that's just your fault. The cash cow cometh.

It'd be one thing for MGO, I'm pretty sure everyones expecting Microtransactions for MGO. But the main game?

IMO if there is something in Motherbase that requires internet connection, it might be related to the invading that they have.

 

[NightShift]

I knew this was going to happen.

Fuck Konami.

 

[muteant]

 

[mullet2000]

"Reduced time features". It's likely for base building and outer ops.

I added the part to the OP where the article states why this might very well be actual microtransactions.

Completely forgot about motherbase timers. Yeah, you're probably right.

 

[wanders]

If you guys hate konami so much why don't you tell them with a petition to remove this crap

 

[hal9001]

Also I agree the boundary between microtransactions and optional DLC is sort of a grey area.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

F

Spoiler

Just paying my respects.

 

[kunonabi]

Odds are it will not effect the game in any way.

If these are related to Mother Base then they most certainly will.

 

[VeryGooster]

I can't get mad, I guess. I bought some of those goofy costumes for Metal Gear Rising.

[Respawn]

Not one damn cent konami

 

[sensui-tomo]

aside from my joking, its going to be like Mass effect or Dragon age probably, like a grab bag of equipment for MGO.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

OH FFS, not that I'm surprised at this point, how long till we end up paying for each bullet we want to fire in a game?

 

[dc89]

Ffs.

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

OH FFS, not that I'm surprised at this point, how long till we end up paying for each bullet we want to fire in a game?

Reload now! ($.99)

 

[DeaviL]

Why are they still called "Micro" anyways?
God knows using them a few times will make you lose another whole game worth of cash.

It's funny how you just can't be mad because you expect it from Konami.

 

[Blobbers]

War has changed.

 

[Mechazawa]

Yeah, that makes sense. The timer bars to get weapons/gear at Motherbase in Peace Walker always seemed ripe for molding into a DLC model, but those usually got unlocked after doing a mission or two so it also would've been stupid unless you were impulsive and absolutely had to have the weapon unlock at that very moment.

Wonder how egregious it is in PP.

 

[De_Legend]

Kaz, we're already fucked.

 

[real_slime]

aside from my joking, its going to be like Mass effect or Dragon age probably, like a grab bag of equipment for MGO.

yeah but like i just said mass effect 3 has a DLC from the get go which is actually important to the story, it felt like they made it and then cut it out just to make some extra money when it should have just been in the game.

 

[Kozuka]

Oh god, it's disappointing.

 

[Hypron]

Not like this, not like this...

:'(

 

[the mark]

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Never ceases to amaze me how people still give Konami the benefit of the doubt here. "It won't be that bad guys," as if somehow everything we've seen this publisher do over the last several years didn't happen, or was a fluke.

 

[LAM09]

Quite surprised.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Reload now! ($.99)

Haha I'll be waiting for it. OT This is annoying but as long as the waiting times aren't like mobile then I'll be able to get over it instead of ranting about it.
Last Konami game I'm ever touching this, can't possibly imagine how they are going to fuck metal gear up afterwards.

 

[Doffen]

Well I'm going to wait for details regarding this before buying.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Probably speed ups for timers in Mother Base

mobile first

 

[Boke1879]

Yeah, that makes sense. The timer bars to get weapons/gear at Motherbase in Peace Walker always seemed ripe for molding into a DLC model, but those usually got unlocked after doing a mission or two so it also would've been stupid unless you were impulsive and absolutely had to have the weapon unlock at that very moment.

Just listening to Greg Miller talk about it. Nothing he said would indicate this has any hindrance on single player.

He said he was fultoning animals and suddenly he had a strut built that featured said animals like a zoo.

My guess this has to do with the Online portion of MGO regarding your base and outer ops.

Seeing as you upgrade weapons and develop them with GMP usually that stuff would unlock after a mission or two.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

In Portable Ops and Peace Walker the time it takes to develop an item or have your soldiers return from battle used to be based on how many missions you finished since starting the endeavor.

Now instead we have stamina bars in our full retail Metal Gear game.

Fucking cunt rags over at Konami, I tell ya.

 

[RespectThySole]

Jesus Konami...

 

[Servbot24]

If it doesn't affect the design I don't care. In fact it's good. Let chumps throw more money at Kojima.

If it does affect design then it can fuck right off.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Welp, time to get outraged without all the details.

 

[lazybones18]

pay $5 to cover up quiet in a new costume.

how much to have her wear less?

 

[RK9039]

Pay up now or wait 10 hours for your upgraded love box. Conami why?

 

[AsfaeksBR]

pay $5 to cover up quiet in a new costume.

Chico costume?

 

[NotLiquid]

 

[Boke1879]

Welp, time to get outraged without all the details.

If anything this will have to force Konami to clarify. I do understand everyone's outrage but without all the details right now it just amounts to a lot of screaming.

 

[Big_Al]

$20 David Hayter voice pack incoming.

 

[The Cartographer]

Kojima's ghost.

 

[Kriken]

Pay $0.99 to sneak by 5 enemies, value pack at $19.99 to sneak by all enemies for 4 hours

 

[djshauny]

FUCK YOU KONAMI!!

Spoiler

Still buying day 1 lol

 

[Alcoholikaust]

$20 David Hayter voice pack incoming.

I'd buy it.

 

[GrayChild]
