This was actually made by Kojima's team. Not by some piece of shit port dev that can't get anything right. GZ is a damn good port.

Gz was good, mgs v should be of the same quality.
The person who wrote that hasn't been at EGM in over two years but yeah that's still a totally relevant comment to make.

This can't be right. I can see them giving the option to purchase MB points but there MUST be a way to earn them in game
Has a retail game ever had an online mode that entirely relies on you spending real money to access it?

Holy fucking shit what?! This deserves its own thread if true. That said we still don't have concrete details. This is shady as hell what konami is doing.
And on another note it really sucks that people are reviewing the game without really getting into such a cool feature of the game. But if they lock it away with money then screw konami.
Fucking what? Konami are you serious

All the review cited shortcomings I've read are what I expected given it being an enhanced PW game design. And I'm cool with it. The one thing in the GT review that stuck with me is when they stated this game feels more like a start of something new, not the final swan song. And that kind of stings as I'm sure Kojima had things lined up but it'll never happen now

Konami fuckin up again...oh well I don't buy mgs games for mp anyway. Sucks for people who were looking forward to it.

Am I the only one who thinks what we got was much more interesting than the hero sacrificing himself? While the info dumb is insane, there are quite a few moments of brilliance within that extended ending.
Oh no, of course. It doesn't make sense to pull the trigger after Big Boss comes along and explains everything is fine. (This entire situation also being incredibly stupid when you realise how this scenario plays out and how Naomi (?) leaves Snake to potentially kill himself). But I feel it's incredibly unsatisfying not to give a logical payoff if you put a character in a certain position where you expect him to act in a certain manner based on a long history, and his own development. That feels like a cop out for me.
It is what it is though. It's not like it matters now.

The fuck is this? There's no way in hell that's true.
IIrc During the dark ages of online passes you had the option of purchasing the online pass if you bought a used copy.

There's no way they don't think that the backlash won't be heavy if it does turn out to be true.
Right, if true. But the article is just guessing that's how it works, Konami didn't give them any info and they're just assuming the worst.
The title of the article is "Locked Behind a Paywall" but it says that they didn't have online to support that claim.
So it wasn't even article-worthy, but it sure got them clicks, the scumbags.
It doesn't.

Konami didn't care about the backlash over Kojimas letting go. I don't think they'd care about this, but this is also something that wouldn't be implemented last second as a fuck you to fans, which leads me to my next point..
Yeah, we don't know. Maybe once online is active they'll be earned through your Motherbase? Like you'll build them up slowly in real time, or you can pay to speed it up I assume. We knew there would be microtransactions, we just don't know how.
Jesus. That sounds *really* bad. We'll see how it turns out.
Damn, hope that isn't true. But it would explain why they didn't play FOBs with the same build they used for reviewing the single player.
Reviews are great so far though, but that shouldn't be a surprise. This last week is going to take forever, can't wait to finally get my hands on this.

They said we can do everything in the game without having to use micro-transactions and it was only to speed things up right?
That has to be BS, because if MB is suppose to buy open waters for struts, how else are you expected to buy multiples of all the struts.
Maybe it is suppose to speed up time to get open waters?
It doesn't seem right.

That's not true. I remember hearing in one of the gameplay demo videos they said it was optional if you wanted to spend money. I can't remember if it was the E3 or games com video.
Edit: here is the video. He says it right in the beginning around the 30 second mark.

Witcher 3 and Journey HD? I think? before that idk, but they've only given ten 10's. So I mean..people are saying they're giving them alot, but ten 10's after 18 years or so after thousands of games is like a very low percentage.

Is it? It's shown after the ranking stuff and doesn't seem to go towards it, and it's a separate currency under GMP in the menus.
Is there a detailed writeup of the differences between the PS3 and PS4 versions? I know it's 30fps vs 60fps, but is it otherwise rock solid? And is the draw distance fine in the PS3 version?
I full expect this to be an amazing experience so I just want to make sure the PS3 version is going to be up to snuff in every way. Otherwise I'd hold off till I get a PS4 or new PC.

Ok, I have never played a Metal Gear. I really want this game from the reviews. Is this game worth playing as a solo entry? If not, how would I get the other games if I only have PC and a PS4?
