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?

it sucks i think they are ruining the metal gear game doing that but on another unrelated note it make you wonder if Microsoft and sony will make you pay just to have the ability to buy the games and then pay an extra $10 to $20 on top of that to play your games online.

Paying to play online isn't even an issue. It's the other nickel and diming schemes that grind my gears.

Speak for yourself. Paying for online for basic play is an issue for me, mainly as it is not necessary from a technical standpoint and I don't reckon paid offerings offer anywhere near enough to justify it.

There are certainly other money grabbing schemes I dislike within games but we might have to have a further conversation on what goes there (I am happy for most cosmetic stuff, paid character/loadout choices in the cases of random limited selections by default, weapons that either offer an alternative means of playing or a similarly powerful weapon and a few others).

This is so wrong that it´s awesome at the same time. Man, what dark ages we are living today.

 

[iMythD]

Wow. What a joke. Paying for a FREAKING SAVE SLOT!?

piece of garbage should have lost an extra 3 points alone for this disgrace

What do they even plan to do after this? They know they can't support the series with just games like this and I doubt they are capable of making the next big Metal Gear game.

OMG this game is such a dumpster fire.

I thought he was overreaching and maybe he is a bit, but after looking at some videos, it really doesn't look fun.

Kind of reminds me of Lost Reavers.

It looks like, Metal Gear meets Assassin's Creed Ouch.

I want to say that it feels like punishment. Taking away a convenient functionality that has been included with games, and then charging customers for them to have it back.

The high cost of development pushed companies to do this kind of stuff.

No one's making them going to ridiculous levels either.

Sounds a lot like complacency and/or blind sycophancy, i.e. people sounding comfortable no matter how FUBAR companies are.

Expectations do. Imagine releasing a Wii level graphics metal gear after V.

Anyway the point is, AAA game development has been too costly that companies often finds way to extract more money from you just to cover development cost.

The race to better graphical fidelity has been ruining the gaming industry.

It has, but companies shouldn't act like the victim to get sob stories, I just want to see Konami crash and burn.
