Well a fun game isn't just 2 hours. I hope the 2 hour window of the game is wrong. Im not buying it on release. Im watching it first on youtube too see. What are you guys planning to do ? Buy it or let it pass for the moment ?.

moujahed3737d ago (Edited 3737d ago )

Day 1, PS4. 29.99$ on PSN Can't friggin wait.

Meltic3737d ago

enjoy :). Dat day i will enjoy infamous second son. In my country they are coming the same date

moujahed3737d ago

@Meltic. I will also have Infamous but the week before then.

MadLad3737d ago

That seemed an attempt at, somehow, rubbing in his face that he is a smart consumer. That's not a bad thing.
What they are essentially selling you is a glorified opening to an actual Metal Gear release coming later.
You may not be paying a premium for it, but it's certainly more expensive than I would think it has the right to be. Dead Rising did this as well, but they charged $5 for it, I believe.
Not saying to not buy the game. If it's worth the cost to you, then go ahead. I just don't think this offers anything healthy for the industry as whole.

Timesplitter143737d ago (Edited 3737d ago )

The story lasts 2 hours. That doesn't mean you'll play the game for only 2 hours you doofus.

If you play MGS games without experimenting with different tactics and attempting to complete the game with knife only and no alerts then I dunno what the hell you're doing but you're doing it wrong. I can go through MGS3 in 3-4 hours if I play on medium difficulty and use silenced guns but that isn't fun at all.

Meltic3737d ago

same mission twice and same level of design twice no thx. Infamous is a diffrent game doing over and over again but nt MGS

Timesplitter143737d ago (Edited 3737d ago )

I don't think you've ever played MGS before. MGS offers an incredible amount of variety of playstyles to the player. I beat MGS3 about 12 times and each playthrough was radically different.

And I think you forget that Ground Zeroes is open-world. They give you a massive enemy camp to infiltrate and you're free to do it any way you want. There's a lot of fun moments to be had in that sandbox

Joe9133737d ago

First and foremost I doubt anyone on this site would be able to beat even the story mode in 2 hours unless you play on easy or play through it a couple times first which defeats the whole argument that ppl will play the story part then trade in game.

jimjam34423737d ago

have never played a mgs game before, was going to get this one, but at 2 hours? i mean even if the reports are exaggerated, its very difficult to beat a game like call of duty in 2 hours, if someone beat mgs without trying to do a speedrun, in 2 hours, its probably around 4 hours long, not an immense amount of gameplay but still kind of a moneygrab aimed at the long time fans of the series.

theDECAY3737d ago

Yeah, I'll probably get it, but I agree with you. It's just that there is honestly so little I want to play at the moment on my PS4.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3737d ago

From everything I have heard from journalists about MGSV GZ the game is well over 2 hours if you take into consideration the side ops, exploration, and other features and additions so people need to chill the hell out about the length of the game. It will be several hours of game play if you do everything in GZ and plus it will have replay value. This was a great idea in my opinion to split GZ from The Phantom Pain so that we get to play some of the game early because of how long TPP is taking to complete and also they can make some money back from its pricey development. The Phantom Pain is 300 times larger than GZ and that has got to be an incredibly expensive project. I will be buying GZ on launch day and will continue to support Hideo Kojima and his team in all their decisions.

jimjam34423737d ago

kojima loves you, even when he runs the series into the ground and starts charging you $60 for a skin pack, you will support him. this is whats wrong with consumer loyalty to an inanimate object (ala ps4/xbox one) you should buy whats best for you, not because you have delusions of a company actually caring about anything other than your wallet.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans3737d ago

Idc what you guys do but I will be getting this game for PS4. I will get it for 20 dollars at Walmart because I have a 20 dollar WM gift card from Christmas. This and InFamous Second Son release on the same week. So I will be having a fun spring break.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan188d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara188d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721188d ago (Edited 188d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus188d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow188d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga204d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19204d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19204d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq204d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger204d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder204d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils204d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder204d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85204d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac204d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420204d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim204d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo203d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
