Metal Gear Survive is the first Metal Gear game since the series creator's exit from the company. Of course, it was target of criticism from fans ever since it was announced, having basically only the FOX Engine in common with Metal Gear and slandered for misuse of the Metal Gear name as a quick cash grab. But is the game really that bad? Apparently, in its core, it's not that bad of a game.

One would imagine that Konami wants to garner goodwill for the game, but in actuality, Konami arguably threw even more fuel to the fire, as early players have found out. The vanilla game supports only one character save slot. For any additional save slot, you would have to fork over 1000 SV coins, which translate to roughly $10 in real world money. What this basically means is that you have to delete your whole progress to start a new game if you don't pay up.

For a number of players this may not be much of an issue as one character may be enough for them, but you could argue that this has the potential to set a dangerous precedent for future games.

What do you think of this? Happy with Metal Gear Survive?

Or we can hope they sell sony the metal gear rights so kojima can do what he does best again (Even if it means being a playstation 5 exclusive title, with potential pc like street fighter 5) Just gonna have to swallow that like a oversized pill a old person tries to do without any water.

Normal Brain: Pachinko minigame to get stuff you need to progress the game
Big Brain: Buying lootboxes with money to get stuff you need to progress the game
Cosmic Brain: Paying to play the pachinko minigame which rewards you with a lootbox

 

[T-hug]

How disconnected from the industry and core gamers do you have to be to keep coming up with this stuff?

Better still, how many people will pay? How much does that save slot make Konami? Surely the game hasn't sold well..

 

[jDSX]

Konami is on their last leg at this point, they should sell the IPs to other companies at this point.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Seems like they're testing the waters for a cloud service.

 

[Daggot]

Never trust konami. The only good thing they have going these days is duel links.

 

[Foxi4]

Nothing unusual at all, Elder Scrolls Online has the same system for buying additional save slots. All things considered, you only need one, just as it was the case with Metal Gear Online. Having played the beta quite extensively it's a pretty serviceable game, I'll be picking it up myself.

 

[tech3475]

Well at least they're keeping "F**Konami" fresh and relevant.

 

[sarkwalvein]

They're shooting themselves in the foot
