After Kotaku reported that 'Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes' might be two hours long, there has been a backlash among many fans. People involved in the project along with Game Informer have attempted to address the concern of gamers. However the damage been done and what can Konami do to fix this PR problem.
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
The Metal Gear series has sold 60.2 million copies, as of September 2023.
Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.
...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is another rollercoaster of a game in the Metal Gear Solid series. Here's what to expect and why you need to experience it.
Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…
I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that
The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.
Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.
Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.
The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.
The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.
The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.
MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
They can't do anything for me. After hearing this, it went from a pre-order to a 'wait until price drop or sale'. *sigh* I hate to pass up pre-ordering a Metal Gear game... That's been a tradition of mine, but I don't want to pay 40 bucks for a game that won't even last me two hours...
With all due respect to developer's efforts, no sane person should spend $30 or $40 on a game which lasts less than two hours no matter how quality the game is.
Most people hate fillers but this is unacceptable at this price range
what can konami do to fix the problem? change price to 14.99...or, or...better yet charge 40 but have a deal to where you get a digital version on mgsV for 20 or even 30.00.
similar to what bf,cod,ac did with this holiday season.
15$ is the sweet spot for this "game"
Konami has said there are side missions to extend the story.
Don't forget games like Skyrim can be beaten in just over 2 hours if you just rush through the main story, but it's hardly a two hour game.
