Metal Gear Survive will be always online and will have microtransactions

omg you are saying a series that the last installment was always online and had micro transactions is going to be always online and have microtransactions? i am SHOCKED. next you'll tell it will have denuvo. i am very surprised and disgusted

Every game is worth pirating, because it costs literally nothing in non-shit countries.

How are you going to pirate it? It's always online.

It's funny because I thought MGSV was jam-packed with so much secondary bullshit that it was overwhelming, and they decided that they needed even more for Survive because "more, not better" is the latest focus group trend. How many things do you have to juggle in that game? Base, recruiting, air levels, RPG skill trees, survival, crafting, base building, escort missions, and probably more. It's turning into that old joke image with the fingerless glove meter.

Almost like Konami wants to kill Metal Gear once and for all. Though its equally likely they are just retarded.

It’s mobile-tier shit without even being a mobile game.
Anyone stupid enough to buy this deserves the wallet rape this game will commit.

Reminder that folks will defend saying Kojima's absence is literally the only reason folks don't want this

t. brainlet.
Peace walker had more varied and interesting content.

This is going to be severely boring
mercy kill it before it's too late

Kojima is the true architect of MSG's commercial successes, you Konami shill!

You Konami shills are the problem faggot.

...

Metal Gear Survive is dead before its even out.

I'm saying shills will defend it claiming the lack of Kojima is the only reason for any criticism, worded that in a rush earlier

...

I felt like the problem was that the secondary shit was pointless. All that mother base shit in MGSV does almost nothing except give you better weapons, which only makes the game less fun since you can run just around spamming stun grenades and tranqing everyone in sight. I honestly think that survive might turn out to be fun.

...

it's like they want it to fail
didn't they have eough with the fan backlash after the first trailer?
now they are shoehorning the 2 shitty busines practices we've been shittin on so much that not even Journo shills can defend anymore

Konami knows that its pissing off the community.
Their Yakuza overlords are making them quit games and have them join the gambling industry.

It's a co-op online game so…. yeah.

Will buy new and won't even take the plastic off, just to contribute to the bastardization of a beloved series, made by a genuine hack.

t. bitter Metal Gear fan

I think he was talking about the amount of time dedicated to trying to download a 40+ gb game with a dial up tier connection, because you live in a shithole with no good internet infrastructure.

Konami did everything wrong, Kojima also did everything wrong. Its best to let it die user. Haven't played a MG/MGS since I finished V.

...

Its still going to be better than Death Stranding.

Please don't call games with perk trees "role-playing games"

I guess it was never ment to Survive.

So how did kojimbo not just end up being sent to the pachinko mines like all the rest of konami's developers? How did he escape?

what the fuck man. I don't even know what it is. I'm just not having fun.

I fucking loved ground zeroes, however.

He might have cut off his pinky as a way to leave the yakuza

Clever usage of a cardboard box.

...

Instead of buying this totally uncool japanese garbage, you Anonymous should try getting into Fallout 4® VR! It's the latest trend and VR is so phenomenal when used on the already amazing game made by your very own Bethesda.

Just think of the great things you can do with your own two hands when you've got a lazer musket! Or maybe you'd like to get up close and personal with a baseball bat? All this is possible in Fallout 4 and even better because it's in VR.

And don't forget, your very favorite mods can be downloaded for redeemable Bethesda Points® from your very favorite developers own modding market. Some of the proceeds even go to the modders who developed it to give back to those hard workers! Buy it today!

If I'm remembering right Metal Gear Survive has a similar component to MGSV's FOB system. Not defending the game, just saying that given the features of the game, griping about always online seems kind of dumb and pointless.

...

Subvert the marketing and contribute to end any small pieces of goodwill that some normalfags still have about Konami.
Never pay for anything from Konami.

Kojima was VP of the company. Unlike those smaller level guys.

Pic sums up any interest I may have had in this.

Pftt…No

My hard-drive has a limited amount of space and knowing how triple A hate optimizing data space. This piece of shit will likely take up 60 GB or more. I could download so many other games that both take up less space AND aren't shit.

This is a game only dumbasses will play.

Unless you live in america

and thats how you kill a game
many good always online games where it was squeezed in for no reason have failed
one of these great games recently was HITMAN
and this isnt even that good
it will fail either way probably

Just like MGSV-written-and-directed-by-Hideo-Kojima™.

I hope it'll be easy to spoof the microtransactions with cheat engine.
Game looks fun, especially the melee.

Is it just me or did the lighting get worse? Phantom Pain had this really nice GI effect but this doesn’t seem to have any of that, even in clear weather

What about games that are only accesible through online services like steam though? That's the case for a lot of indie games. You'll have to download, regardless of if you pay money or not.

You can buy a 4TB drive for $100. Most games run fine off of them. SSDs are only needed for open world games that have to constantly stream in content.

Thank you for looking out for me, user.

Metal Gear doesn't have the casual reach Konami thinks it does, this shit will crash and burn.

Too bad because I wanted more MGSV gameplay

STANDING

I'm shocked I tell you. SHOCKED!

Ah, I see. You’re welcome for subsidizing your infrastructure, Europe.

If Konami manages to push out a single other game after this implodes on the launchpad I would be genuinely shocked

They don’t need video games anymore. They have their physical pachinko machines.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
THIS IS KONAMI'S KILLING BLOW TO METAL GEAR, THEY FUCKING HATE THE WHOLE SERIES NOW.

>game with (((microtransactions)))
Kill yourself.

Reasonable sentiment, but I assume you've seen the leaked papers on modern game design. Priority #1 is psychologically compelling people to buy microtransactions, priority #2 is advertisement, and the actual game itself is way down at #3, if not lower. So, gameplay will be agonizing without microtransactions, far too easy with them, and unsatisfying in general.

They're actually moves in Japan to allow legitimate gambling in certain places so the Pachinko market is close to crashing.

Fuck off, Carlos

I feel like you deserve at least one (You) for your effort

Doesn't matter, the Yakuza will just move on from running pachinko parlors to running "legitimate" gambling and esport competitions.

MGSV will never be finished because Konami wants the baggage of its big titles to disappear.

Yes the Yakuza will, but a company with a sying card game, dying video game development with all their eggs in the Pachinko basket won't. Konami is just a convenient option for the Yakuza not the only one.

ON THE EDGE

Who else used to worry they were actually going to do something right with this shit?

how great the PHANTOM PAIN WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THIS WAS IN IT LEFT IN IT AND THE MOTHER BASE SCEEN WAS LEFT IN WHERE THE ZOMBIES SOLDIERS ATTACKED MOTHER BASE IN SWARMS

consider suicide

is that even possible?

it was in TPP

I put some time into the beta and its basically a much faster paced Fortnite -before it became a pubg clone that is- the gameplay is fun. Its MGSV with some twists. That said its pretty easy. The Creatures can kill you very easily so its not a dead rising style 'mow down the herd' type of deal. But you can backstab fish easier than DS1 which makes the specials all moot.

If i have one big criticism of the game -in a vaccuum removed from konami and kojima- it is way too fast. You spawn in and everyone goes buckwild gathering because you have 5 minutes to cover the entire map, build things that all build separately in a que AND set up in that time. Its good the first few times as you watch the tension build as red blips show up on the map and a quickly shambling horde gets like 30 feet away by the time its all set up.
But thats it every time. That trailer showing sneaking elements and using animals to distract Creatures? doesnt happen, in the Beta at least. Its fast paced. 3 waves of tower defence with monsters somewhere between dead rising and left 4 dead. Fun at first but really looks like its not going to have much longevity.

Personally i would like a bigger setup phase. You just port the drill in, maybe you have to sneak around the map and set up some kind of cartographer to then be able to spawn in the drill? give us a reason to stealth it IS metal gear on the box after all.

Thats about it though. Make is slower, add more excuses for stealth and side objectives. Beyond that its an okay multiplayer game in the same 'got 15 minutes?' like monster hunter or lost planet 2. In fact in most respects it feels more like a capcom game than a konami one. I kind of enjoyed my time. But 4 hours in something you put no money down for is not going to get the same sentiments as buying this for £25 and expecting anything close to the 100 hour fuckaround of MGSV.

I'd say try the beta, but don't expect peace walker OPs 2.0, its made for the gun jumpers that don't care about triggering alarms.

-OR bare in mind this could all have been designed for the lowest tier of mainstream chads and the retail will be balanced very differently, who knows?

do you mean the fake slideshows with company names blacked out to stir outrage?
I did.
Every company exists to maximize profits, and if people have become a brainless cattle with calcified pineal glans that's really too bad.
In better days they maximized profit by providing high-quality products at low prices, now they invest into social engineering and advertising.

I bet it makes them a fortune.

I think we both played different games called MGSV, cause there was barely anything in that husk of a game.

If you survived until now without playing the shitty game series known as metal gear, does that make you a metal gear survivor?
