PSU review - Metal Gear Online [PS4]

PlayStation Universe puts the multiplayer component of Metal Gear Solid 5 through its paces.

The93Sting3137d ago

the gameplay is solid, infiltrator is OVERPOWERED as heck almost everyone uses it for the stealth camo -_-. Wish it had more game modes especially the training ground like MGO 2. it was a blast playing that mode. sadly it isn't in this installment of MGO :(

breakpad3137d ago (Edited 3137d ago )

MGO3 sucks in comparison to MGO 2 ...MGO3 is more like a 3rdperson COD ...MGO2 was a whole different tactical game and league , far superior to MGO 3... this by the way is an excellent example what happens when you give a Japanese made game to be developed by westerners ...the game becomes garbage instantly

The93Sting3137d ago (Edited 3137d ago )

the game is developed by the same developers.. Kojima Productions.. I think Konami was part of what made MGO worse, Kojima vs Konami thing I guess which led to canceling Silent Hills which was being developed by Kojima himself. Also with the recent update about FOB insurance, now that's total BS.

breakpad3137d ago (Edited 3137d ago )

@ LonyTony ..yes i know who they are..but they r not the main Kojima PRo team they are a branch of KojiPro which is located in LA and mainly formed by westerners who supposedly had experience with western multiplayer games and supposedly they knew what western audience wants /BS ... only the head of the team was japanese ...and here it is , MGO3, a terrible TPS clone of COD ...

Veneno3137d ago

This version of MGO has many design problems:

- MGO is NOT conducive to STEALTH gameplay and tatics. Is is extremely faced paced and most matches end in a timeout which gives you no time to create a tatical plan to accomplish objectives and outsmart enemy players.

- The maps are way too big. And there are way too , many open areas where you get instantly killed when trying to traverse them.

-The controls are atrocious. Cycling through items is a nightmare of button presses. Im constantly going into cover when I run anywhere near a short wall. Mycharacter runs around like he's drunk.

the radar map is worthless. My map and ally characters are the exact same color. Blue! How the hell can you make out your teammates?

These are just some of the problems. This game failed at being a good MGO and being a 3rd person Call of Duty clone.

MGO 2 is miles better for its variety and community imo..

ZombieKiller3137d ago

Keep in mind that MGO 3 is still in it's baby stages right now though. Maybe these game modes will return in some form. I am loving MGO 3 so far. the unlocks are cool and keep me interested.

scark923137d ago

I seriously hope you are right, MGO2 believe it or not was on of my favourite online experiences ever.

Artemidorus3137d ago

You get alot of content also for one game.

Been a while since I said that without paying extra

Scar-3136d ago (Edited 3136d ago )

Am actually surprised to hear people actually hold MGO2 in a high regard after konami just let it go to shit. Hackers galore, shit net code over priced dlc ten BUCKS for two maps, lack of patches and sever maintenance. MGO1>>>>>>.

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

Welshy986d ago

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

Giblet_Head986d 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.

SDuck986d ago

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

MasterChief3624986d 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.

GhostofHorizon986d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord986d 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.

MetroidFREAK21986d ago

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

franwex986d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21986d 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

franwex1039d ago

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

aaronaton1039d ago (Edited 1039d 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!

-Foxtrot2423d ago (Edited 2423d 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

BlaqMagiq12421d ago
