Broken matchmaking and mundane modes make this one for the hardcore fans only.

I wouldn't say it's "not even close to the single-player game" but I definitely agree about the matchmaking and lack of modes. I enjoy 2 of the 3 modes on offer, but I really only like playing on the bigger maps. Rush maps turn the game into a much more typical shooter imo.

caseh3483d ago

There's not much point beating around the bush with this one, MGO3 is crap.

Compared to MGO2 (sure it had the stupid Konami sign-in thing) it's missing about 10 games modes, tournaments, clans, training rooms, adequate matching/server hosting options, choices for weapons, tedious levelling system etc.

I could go on but there isn't much point.

Featuring_Dante3483d ago

MGO2 is the best online game there is. MGO3 could come close if the community sticks to it. I don't like the hate MGO3 gets, mostly because whoever is talking smack about was expecting a port of MGO2. There was bound to be changes.
The upcoming patch for MGO3 is gonna make it better.
MGO3 is at least, has some tactical elements to it, something all online games lack these days.

You people need to stop trying to change MGO3 into 2. 3 is a great starting point with different items and movement and actions, get over 2. It also had a couple years or so to pump out expansions. People won't even give this a chance, and rather complain about stealth camo and Walker gears. Even though they are just ass easy to take out as anyone else.stop trying to ruin this game, jerks.

DEEBO3483d ago

I love mgo3 and two can't wait for some more maps.

I haven ascended to a level 3.

Veneno3483d ago

MGO 3 is a fine game with some neat mechanics, but overall disappointing because we were expecting, and we deserve as hard core fans, perfection or near perfection in the online portion as we get in the single player. Konami let the fans down hard in this one. They're embarrassed of it. Delaying the online from launch is proof enough.

Online services for MGSV:TPP (Xbox 360, PS3) and GZ (Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4) to be terminated

Konami has shared an announcement on the official Metal Gear portal site stating that the online services for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be terminated on May 31st of 2022. This only affects the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Both MGSV itself and its multiplayer component Metal Gear Online will be shut down on that date. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will also lose its network service on the same date, but this time it also affects the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.

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

Welshy1344d ago

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

Giblet_Head1344d 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.

SDuck1344d ago

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

MasterChief36241344d 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.

GhostofHorizon1344d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

GhostofHorizon1344d ago

Well... that's unfortunate.

Dark_Overlord1344d 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.

MetroidFREAK211344d ago

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

franwex1344d ago

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

MetroidFREAK211344d 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

franwex1396d ago

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

aaronaton1396d ago (Edited 1396d 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!

-Foxtrot2780d ago (Edited 2780d 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

GamesMaster19822780d ago

BlaqMagiq12779d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
