At this point I hope they don't fuck with the game's balancing in order to encourage people spending money like they did with Forza Motorsports 5 when it launched
It sounds like the microtransactions will just speed up R&D and Outer Ops completion times.
I'm fine with this, just as long as Konami hasn't forced Kojipro to massively extend the regular completion times to absurd levels (or worse, Kojipro did this of their own accord).
Its been a while since I beat PW but iirc, it took anywhere from 1-3 missions for R&D to complete, and typically 1 or 2 missions for Outer Ops to wrap up. If someone wants their Silenced Tranquilizer Mosin Nagant RIGHT NOW, sure, they can pay for that. Not sure why anyone would care how long their Outer Ops take... unless you get extra rewards or POWs for finishing it faster...
Just as long as the regular timers aren't absurdly long, and MGO doesn't become a P2W shit-fest, I'm good with this![]()
Any interest I had in Metal Gear Solid V has now flatlined.
No matter what happens, I'm still raiding everyone's bases for all their sheep. I'm going into the wool business.
That's what it better fucking be.
I'll happily ignore any singleplayer microtransactinos, but if people can buy their way through MGO I'm going to be pissed.
You shouldn't be fine with this. Monetising gameplay in this manner ultimately corrupts game design. Even if it doesn't happen now it will happen inevitably. Stand against it before it's too late.
This. But GAF is going to gaf. There is no way this will change anything while you are out in the world playing the game proper.
hmm.....how about you just don't buy them? Problem solved.
There's not one game I have not enjoyed BECAUSE of microtransactions. I just pay them no attention and keep enjoying my game.
It's quite simple.
Like I said, as long as there aren't any P2W aspects in MGO, and the timers for R&D and Outer Ops aren't longer than they should be, this is totally fine.
Like others have said, PW had timers on R&D and Outer Ops, both of which make sense in the context of the game, and these timers didn't hurt the game, as other parts of PW were responsible for that ;D
I get what you're saying but it's not that simple
If they didn't impede they wouldn't make any money off of them. And the more money you make off of them the more incentive there is to implement systems that impede the player.If they don't impede the game in any real way, what's the problem?
They've got rabid fans. They could always sell content.WHy are people shock by this, it major game releasing in 2015 I would be shock if it didn't have microtranstions.
I knew it would as soon as Kojima was fired. Sad.
Won't get MGSV. Its probably not even Kojima's game anymore.
:lol I would pay for that.pay $5 to cover up quiet in a new costume.
I'm okay with nanotransactions that are just cosmetic

Peace Walker didn't have microtransactions to speed up R&D. You can bet your ass that Konami will jack those times up now that they have a monetary incentive to do so.
People just don't seem to understand that this shit affects the game design in a negative way.
I don't think that would matter much. They probably played a preview build not the actual game people will be buying this September.Someone should tweet some of the journalists who got to play, maybe someone remembers how long it took to build things.

You can assume all you want. We don't know all the details. Again it was mentioned in previews. But it clearly wasn't impeding their progress or enjoyment of the game. People actually want to play MORE of the game.
I'll go with people like Greg Miller who are fans of the series. If he wasn't bothered by it or felt it was of note to mention it probably isn't intrusive at all.
Now for MGO it could be a different story.
I think that's a little bigger than nanotransactions50 cents to change the colour of Big Boss' left testicle.
I think that's a little bigger than nanotransactions![]()
And does that in any way stop them from making changes before the release?They had access to the entire game.
IDK why people are surprised.
lol
Have you read any of the previews? The game literally has Hideo Kojima's name in the credits after every single mission.
Your loss though. MGSV is only gonna be the greatest game of all time.

You'll always wonder how much the game has been purposefully tuned to slow your progress down to encourage micro-transaction purchases.

As can you. I'm basing my reaction off of just about every AAA game out there that makes use of microtransactions, and impedes the player's progress to make them more attractive.
Wouldn't be surprised if this may a part of Kojima's conflict with Konami.
Because it's impossible for them to make changes between now and release.
And I'm going by based on what I've heard and read in previews. If people did notice it. It didn't hinder their enjoyment of the game AT ALL. Would I rather microtransactions not be in the game? Sure. If only to avoid the assumptions and outrage in this thread.
But I don't have the details. All I have are the press previews and most haven't made mention of it and most or excited to build their own base after playing it.
Again. Assumptions. They can possibly do that. But the press had access to the entire game. I was responding to the person saying "they probably played a preview build".
