Metal Gear Survive is a Total Disappointment

I think my money is gonna stay in my wallet this time around.

[Hoffmann]

See it positive. More money for something else.

[Summons75]

More money to make a new Pachinko machine

[TheCommentator]

Time to go back to Metal Gear Pachinko machines.

[rezzah]

lol

They were better off not trying to make any AAA games after Kojima left.

[SeanScythe]

wah wah wah, geez heaven forbid they do something different in the universe that isn't the same thing. I see nothing wrong with this, it's not affecting the other games in anyway. It's like if Naughty Dog made a coop survival game from the uncharted or last of us series. As long as they don't make it cannon and it's just using the engine, assets and mechanics from the MGS game there is nothing to worry about. Unlike COD this is going to be separate from the main games. It's like if COD made COD:Zombies instead of putting it in the next installment game.

[Becuzisaid]

You clearly don't understand MGS

[Z501]

So explain Ac!d.

[SeanScythe]

You clearly don't understand this isn't Metal Gear Solid, This is Metal Gear Survive.

[SkolarVisari]

Yea. No. These zombie modes (And games in general.) are already played out. Konami could have made a co-op shooter with Rat Patrol 1. All this shows us is that they didn't even want to think about doing something creative, instead they want to come out with yet another zombie game. This is Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z all over again.

[SeanScythe]

Says you. I enjoy games like this with friends.

[Goldby]

I k ow they could have easily made it somewhat cannon by having it actually take place between the beginning of ground zeroes and the end if ground zeroes. Aka, that assault on MotherBase is a perfect setup for wave based horde modes.

It was litterly staring at them and they didnt even look at it. Instead ohhh lets make an alternate dimension, cuz none of us have a clue what kojima had in his head and are wrestling for ideas...

[Xb1ps4]

What a bs excuse to hate on a game you don't know much about... "Zombies are played out" lmfao...

Why does everyone think that the wheel has to be reinvented for every single game?!

And I'm not defending this game... It didn't get my interest.. They could have just gave it a new name with no metal or gear in it and had metal gear character cameos or something and gave it a metal gear feel but let the players tell you that instead of putting it out there for everyone..

I'm looking forward to days gone?! Can't think of the name if that's not it.. The one that was compared to tlou, played out or not that game looks good.

[DarXyde]

Metal Gear Solid pretty much always does something new. The most similar titles are 1 and Sons of Liberty where mechanics were expanded, but 3, 4, V, Peace Walker, and even Portable Ops featured what essentially amount to complete overhauls. AC!D even more so.

Doing something different is one thing. Doing something noticeably bad is...bad. Conceptually, it's probably not most fans' cup of tea.

Are you surprised? It's simply not an appealing idea. Plus, there are people who won't buy it because Kojima isn't making it. Personally, I don't know what exactly went down, but I know better than to trust Konami with franchises that no longer have key people working on them. Castlevania and the old title Snake's Revenge are testament to that. That, and Snake Eater pachinko is incredibly insulting to someone like me.

With that, it's a resounding "pass" from me.

[SkolarVisari]

What I want to know is why bother doing the remaster for Pachinko machines? Who exactly is their market for this within Japan? Why go after a tired meme in the form of Zombies (The co-op thing is not a bad idea by itself.) after saying you want fans back? Don't these people see how many big name games there are that already have zombies in them as one of their defining features?

[DarXyde]

SkolarVisari,

Who really knows? At this point, expect Metal Gear to stagnate. I'm pretty sure Konami, more than anything, will stick to a trusted formula and not try to give these games anything in the way of innovation. Zombies are not a positive addition. Granted, we've seen pseudo zombies in the form of SOP soldiers and VCP enemies in V, but this just seems like a try hard break into the genre. My guess is we'll see future games not really try to expand upon The Phantom Pain mechanics. It could become completely multiplayer so they can justify microtransactions out the wazoo while also not interfering with the universe itself. Alternatively, they could just do remakes.

I don't expect much in the way of quality regardless. Take note. This could very well be the first poorly rated MG title since Snake's Revenge.

[Goldby]

I heard "pass" like tank from madtv

[GrubsterBeater]

I was laughing so hard in the trailer, as soon as the ship is sinking, they then go " You think the ship just sank in MGS V? NOPE! MOTHER F#%@#& GETTIN' SUCKED INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION!!"

Hahaha, oh man! That was so funny.

[TC731]

lol Metal Gear 4 Dead

[Becuzisaid]

It's all a Big Boss coma fever dream... Think the dream sequence in MGS3 only it's own paid-for game.

I think what I'm most offended by in this game is the initials still being MGS. now everytime someone abbreviates and say MGS there will inevitably be some person that will think the conversation is about Survive, bring it up then everyone will have to continually be reminded that this game exists.

[seanpitt23]

The whole mgs5 was a major disappointment they should of never gone open world it made the story line suffer so much.

I couldn't even finish the game I was that bored and this is a guy who is a massive fan completed all of the previous games and loved them all.

[GHOSTxx420]

Yea i didn't finish it either. I forget what mission i was on but i had well over 100 hrs played. The game was ok at best but to much of doing the same thing over and over.

[theshredded]

It doesn't even have the Solid in the title ffs! Stopy b*ching people atleast it's not some mobile game or a Metal Gear "Solid" game already.

[Goldby]

No instead they are using an idea that has been over used i. The i dustry by a few years, adding Metal Gear so that idiots think its part of Kojima's Metal Gea franchise.

Its like taking a honda civic, slapping a lambo name on it and charging 136k. Unethical. But then again thats the only way that game would sell

[madmonkey01]

MGS5 put me off any future MGS games anyway, but when i first saw that trailer, i thought it was a fan made joke.

[Tankbusta40]

I love how everyone is on the hate train, eventhough they haven't played it. If its a good solid shooter I welcome the addition, sure its not a cannon story and different but when have we gotten Metal Gear games in back to back years? I bet they have Metal Gear 6 in development, so why not just be happy for more Metal Gear? This game cannot possibly be worse then the last Metal Gear online. Its time the Kojima fanboyism died off and people actually give Konami a chance to take the franchise in their own direction

[GrubsterBeater]

I agree when you say that it would be nice to take Metal Gear in their own direction, etc., the only problem is that this is Konami. You say MGS VI is probably already in development now, but can you imagine how awful a new Metal Gear game would be that has no Kojima involved AND that is being made by Konami? It would be horrendous.

Did you watch the trailer for this game, too? It looks like a MGS version of COD Zombies. They also made the sinking ocean platform somehow magically get thrown into some random portal to another dimension?! What?! Lol

[Tankbusta40]

What I cannot believe is how quickly people would assume it would be awful because Kojima isn't a part of it. Kojima was stubborn and only wanted things his way. The Metal Gear Universe is so VAST and he refused to explore most of it. If Konami made a game about Ocelot it would be awesome.

I saw the trailer and it looks like it could be a fun shooter. Try watching the trailer without Metal gear Kojima fan boy Goggles on. It doesn't look awful.

[Kaneki-Ken]

Then again MGSV was the weakest and worst story of the franchise, a story that wasn't needed to be told to begin with and had the most boring boss fight, main antagonist was the biggest let down, Scene that appears in the trailer(which Kojima told us this after the game came out a while ago) was never part of the game, lied to the fan. Kojima may have created the best gameplay of the franchise but he sacrifice his story for open world and waisted money hiring Kiefer(he cost a lot) which Fake snake and Big Boss barely even talk and because of that original zero voice couldn't return to do his role since he was offer little money, Ground Zerous and Phantom Pain hospital act was the best part of the game then after that it went down the hill. I think is time for someone new, fresh to bring in more ideas to the franchise since working on the same franchise no stop can make the creator lose its touch, make them tired.

[Goldby]

@tankbuster.

Ever consider kojima wanted it done his way because its his story.

That would be like having a preschool write the next Game if Thrones book. You still upset that his agent took control away from him and gave it to a preschooler to finish?

Metal Gear is Kojima, Konami just happens to own the name.

[EpicSandwich]

Kojima isn't a God. A new metal gear will be just as good maybe even better with some new talent.

[S-Word]

Really? What part of the gameplay didn't you like?

[conanlifts]

The game might have been recieved better had they not used the metal gear name.

[EpicSandwich]

I don't know this is like the first metal gear solid game that impressed me with the trailer

[SkolarVisari]

@Xb1ps4, Oh it is so clear to me now, I have to give a setting I already don't care about a chance because of some ill defined set of reasons. The gameplay is irrelevant since the setting itself is already crap that has been done by Left 4 Dead, The Last of Us, Days Gone, Resident Evil, Dead Rising, and Dying Light, War Z, H1Z1. The zombie/infected game is the new WWII shooter. When the world of MG is more than rich enough to actually pull off this kind of a game, and you come up with a wormhole that takes you to a place where you fight Zombies/Infectees it is clear that this is just playing to a meme. Why would I play this game when I could play any of the games I listed off of the top of my head? The only reason is the set of MG characters! I.E. they are going for name recognition, period.

[Xb1ps4]

I never said you have to give it a chance... Like I said it didn't catch my interest either but it's not because it's a "omg another zombie game" by that logic damn near no games should be made anymore, fps has been done to death tps has been done to death and games like uncharted, tomb raider, sports, racers....

I completely agree on them just trying to cash in on the name when they could have simply made it as a new ip and left the metal gear nAme out of it considering all the negative stuff around it, they should have gave the franchise a break instead of giving it a spin off..

I think we are sort of on the same page only you are not interested in it because of zombies that you played too much of while I'm just simply not into it right now but who knows, maybe the game can pull it off we don't know.. I just know gameplay is never irrelevant to me over a setting..

[NerveGearneeded]

ill wait to judge until i see gameplay, seems like dead rising with co-op?
