Why even bother giving feedback to KPLA? Konami, pls.

These are the people that neutered our beloved Metal Gear Online. Three years and a whole studio to develop online and we still get a broken, unbalanced, unfinished product with less features and more lag than most betas. It's clear that they're an incompetent studio with untalented developers, unlike the JP studio that brought us MGO1 and MGO2.

Great read, pretty spot on. The worst part of MGO for me is Stealth Camo infestation on top of the lag.

just_looken3112d ago

drebien points were only for mgo on mgs4 and aim assist is not new to mgo the psp versions had it mgo on ps3 aswell.

I hope this article opens up the delusional eyes of those praising MGO3.

Personally, I preferred the mechanics of MGS4/MGO2 over TPP/MGO3. Even so, they still royally f'd up MGO with implementing classes and removing so many features that were listed in this article.

I know its a long shot and hell, Konami may not even consider it, but I would rather a MGO2 revival/port - its complete, balanced, competitive and superior to MGO3 in most ways.

The MGO2 petition already has over 3,200 signatures and is still growing. Check it out. https://t.co/8Fh4IXniPl

I love how you don't remember the state MGO2 launched in- which was more or less the same. I don't see anyone complaining about classes until they get to MUH STEALTH CAMO, which is far less broken than people like to think. And the netcode? It's the same as MGO2's! The very version you're praising!

Get real.

PreAtaric3112d ago

I hope this article opens up the delusional eyes of those hating on MGO3.

It's all opinions, man.

I love the game, with the exception of the Rush maps and the peer to peer connections.

Isn't this what normally happens when a critically acclaimed Japanese franchise gets Westernised, Casualised, and goes Multi-platform? /s

paul-p19883111d ago

Funnily enough, the lead localiser for MGS1 was interviewed by the Japan Times over the weekend and he stated that Japanese development is dieing as they are all trying to be Western (a higher up at Capcom said the same, quoted in the same article).

Japanese devs should stick to doing what they know best, BEING JAPANESE!! I buy Japanese games because they are different, not because they are trying hard to be Western... (also another point the localiser brought up, that we like Japanese games because they are generally weirdly unique from a Western perspective)

DivineAssault 3112d ago

Ummm what does it take for people to understand that the games budget was dropped by 20 million dollars! Thats a lot of FN money that couldve been used to make the game much better.. I dont play MGO but if its anything like the ending leaving me a bit on the bummed out side, i can understand peoples phantom pain

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy968d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head968d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck968d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624968d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon968d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord968d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21968d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex968d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21968d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1020d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2404d ago (Edited 2404d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19822404d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
