johncnstntn__ Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Whoever comes with an idea to cash in a dying franchise with a most generic way, pachinko machine is way better than this, should burn in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergen Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Looks like Metal Gear isn't going to survive as a franchise . You kind of know a game franchise is dying when they have to make a zombie spin-off game, reminds me of Ninja Gaiden which had Yaiba and now the franchise is truly dead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritusUltrices Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I have fond memories of the older metal gears games, some of the best. This shit should have never been created. Not ever game needs to have a shitty zombie mode attacted to it. When i think metal gear I don’t think zombies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolkovo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Yeah I'm a huge MGS fan and even I didn't buy this shit. EDIT: Apparently it's a 0.89% plat on PSNP, but I'm guessing that's not because of difficulty/grind but due to a low player base, most of whom couldn't be bothered to finish it. I also couldn't find a single written trophy guide for this game lol. Edited May 14, 2018 by Zolkovo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if you watched any "gameplay" from it it begs the question of how did anyone stand the borefest that is killing those braindead zombies and gathering their "kuban energy" for 3 years each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 The best gameplay to watch is Jim Sterling's. Which always makes me laugh, poking down at zombies slowly lower than you due to terrible AI and game design mechanics which is obviously what might happen if you force melee combat into a sneaking simulator.

WorldsBestSpy Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Ill pick this up when its 10 bucks, just like MvCi. Dont think its a good waste of 10 bucks but meh. Personally never played a MGS game but fuck Konami still and I'm glad they're realizing no one wants to pay full price for their neutered games that are a bastardization of the franchise.

Just careful, the game is riddled with microtransactions and requires an always online connection, even for single player. And by the time you buy it on the cheap (it's probably already cheap right now) the online is probably going to be dead with very few people around. If you do want this game, I suggest buying it immediately before the game fades further into obscurity. It might even become free on PS+ one month like the other two MGS5 games were. Alternatively, avoid this game like cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bullstomp Posted May 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2018 15 hours ago, SavageGarden2015 said: I bet this game sold like 80 copies worldwide So I go to a Gamestop around the release of Metal Gear Survive, pick up some stuff and go to the register. I have been a regular high volume customer at this location for years so I typically get upselled hard. The guy at the register asks "We just got the new Metal Gear game and we still have a few copies left, are you interested?" I look behind him, see about 20 copies and say " Are you kidding me? Looks like you have quite a few left. No thanks, I'm waiting till you drop them in the dumpster behind the store". He looks at me dismissively and says "Metal Gear is one of the best selling franchises in video game history! If you pass on it now it may be a while before we restock. Do you really want to take that chance?" I pause, look him in the eyes and say " Do you actually play video games??" and everyone, including his co-workers, busted out laughing. He got embarrassed, rang me up and I left. This thread reminded me I need to check in on that guy? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol this was actually hilarious to read. I can totally imagine that happening. The worst thing for me is when they try to convince me to buy protection for games. Though I'm fortunate that they never push me to buy new games or anything like that. It's just that protection thing they like to push annoys me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that with the massive turnover Gamestop has most employees can only regurgitate what they hear but their actual gamer knowledge is limited to one franchise, typically Overwatch/Fortnite/CoD. In my opinion this is a perfect example of knowing facts (Metal Gear is a dominant franchise) but not knowing what's going on (Konami's bastardization of the brand after Kojima left).

Why would you buy it then?? There are like 6 other MGS games that are way better and more deserving of your time. And btw. The whole fuck Konami movement is about not buying their games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Gamestop must be suffering in general since a lot of games made now are digital only and a lot of games, Metal Gear Survive included are sold as retail but are online only. The amount of games that have DLC, online passes or the servers are now dead. Must be a massive headache for second hand shops in general. Gamestop must knowingly stock a whole ton of PS3 games that are broken in many ways now due to their being no servers and/or delisted DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea not only that actually but I remember the cashier was dissuading me from buying the ps4 pro as my first ps4 console. I don't remember his exact words but he was telling me how it's not worth it. I still stuck with my decision and lol I was able to see his frustration build up. Idk what was up with him haha. Perhaps there was a limited stock? Perhaps they wanted to clear the base ps4s since it was on sale? Edited May 15, 2018 by PooPooBlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Gear Survive is worth exactly $0. Is a mobile game with a mobile game economy. The guy should probably buy MGS Legacy Collection. Much more worth the time.

From the majority of their experiences people come in expecting to spend a very specific dollar amount on consoles. The Gamestop employees also have to sell protection/warranties. By talking you into buying a less expensive comparable product you will now be able to buy that warranty. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hereby apologize to every monkey/ape that felt offended by my statement. I'll be giving my money to them for ZOE2 VR [whatever the full title is]. Honestly kinda want Bomberman too when that comes out. I personally like supporting when a company does things I like them to do. Otherwise, what incentive do they have to do the things I want them to do? If i don't support it, then I have no right to complain they don't do what I want. I don't begrudge others for wanting to just outright stick it to a company though. Not my money. As for this game, I didn't realize it came out. Nobody's talked about it anywhere I've been visiting.

I didn't buy the warranty Despite all this I still love my local eb games. They're nice people and I understand it's a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
