Nothing new, just Konami trying to scam you out of your money by trying to get you to play the game you already bought.

_-EDMIX-_3552d ago

How is it a scam?

http://www.merriam-webster....

You actually know its MGSV, you know whats instead etc, thats not really how one defines a scam bud, no matter how much you don't like the publisher, at least keep facts, facts.

DMgHalt3551d ago

It's called "hyperbole" buddy.

http://www.merriam-webster....

You knew what I meant, and you know how corporations work, or do you?

_-EDMIX-_3550d ago

I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean.

people use words to convey what they're talking about it , if the word you're using is incorrect how am I supposed to know you mean something completely different?

I fully understand how corporations and how business works, I actually own a small business. Not liking something does not mean it's a scam I'm sorry but there's a very good reason why legally it's specifically defined as such. You may not like the practice of them repackaging a game but I'm not fully getting what you mean buy it being a scam when the term does not fit what you're talking about they are very much transparent what's inside of this and no one's actually forcing you to purchase it again.

If they called it Metal Gear Solid 6 then yeah I could say the changing of the title could lead consumers to believe they're getting something different , if they show the trailer for something that isn't what this game actually is, that I could completely understand because they're falsely advertising something to Consumers, but from what I'm seeing here I don't see anything that even comes close to what we define as a scam.

Like I said you could hate Konami as I don't care for them either, but let's keep facts, facts

IamTylerDurden13551d ago

Were WB, 2K, and every other publisher also scamming u when they released their GotY versions of Arkham City, Borderlands, Bioshock, Mordor, Witcher, Dying Light, Injustice, MK ect? It's a common thing, this rhetoric about re-releases and remasters being "scams" is tiresome. It's merely an option, you aren't forced to buy it.

Sam Fisher3552d ago

Wait wtf? Shouldnt the current game be the definitive since its on current

ThePope3552d ago

Every time I see news about this game no matter good or bad I get sad. This may be my most disappointing game of all time.

IamTylerDurden13551d ago

Yet, it won GotY and got rave reviews...

ThePope3551d ago

And that changes what? I've been playing MGS games since NES. I feel like I can trust myself to decide if I like the game or if it lives up to what I expect from a MGS game. MGS 5 IS NOT the MGS game we deserved.

And LOTS of games are getting 10s now. I don't know what has happened to game reviews but NO game is a 10. Well maybe The Witcher 3, but I mean its The Witcher.

All joking aside even that game isn't a 10.

_-EDMIX-_3550d ago

I'm sorry but if you don't believe The Witcher 3 or Metal Gear Solid 5 is a 10 I'm not sure the score could ever be handled out if you consider those were the two most polished games even released last year.

I'm not sure what you're seriously expecting from a 10 mind you from what I've read all these years attend simply means at the time this was the most polished game or one of the most and they're not wrong you seriously know another stealth Action game that even near Metal Gear Solid 5?

Mind you Metal Gear Solid 5 is as Metal Gear as every other Metal Gear Solid title as you actually still get all the same segments from a racing segment from a sniper Battle to clearly a metal gear battle. As a person has played the entire series Metal Gear Solid 5 actually hits the check list of all classic Metal Gear Solid things even down to the torture scenes.

In regards to calling in support in different gadgets that you could use with your team Metal Gear Solid 5 had to be done differently simply because you're playing as big boss or perceived to be so clearly they would have you used the tools at his disposal but you couldn't do it any other Metal Gear Solid game therefore by default it could not be like the rest with such a feature so even if you're trying to say that in that respect it's not like the other Metal Gear Solid the series was never made simply to have a lone wolf infiltrating a place that can't be with Metal Gear Solid 5 simply because he is already big boss he already owns outer Haven you have to clearly use the items that we know Big Boss had I'm sorry but a lone person infiltrating a big bad guy is not every single last Metal Gear Solid and seriously can't be.

This games Metal Gear Solid because the person that created the series created it the person that writes its story created it it is published by the publisher that owns the intellectual property I'm sorry but you do not Define what metal gear solid as its creators do.
Even if we entertain with the previous games did in comparison to Metal Gear Solid 5, Metal Gear Solid 5 actually does everything the previous titles did but more with greater quality and greater variety.

I believe we got the best metal gear solid that they could create under the limitations that kaname gave to them it's very clear they probably could not express what they wanted to do with their last game because Konami wants to series to continue so therefore if they cannot have any real definitive end with some of these characters.

I'm not even sure they were allowed to make big boss fully evil as it sounds like Konami still wants to portray him as someone misunderstood despite kajima being very clear about who he is in the previous Metal Gear Solid games.

To cry about this is just entitlement and to me a joke I appreciate what these guys did under the pressure they were under in under the limitations that their publisher gave to them they still made an absolutely amazing game and it is very much deserving of the 10 score butthurt doesn't really constitute negative scores buddy I'm pretty positive you could tell every single fan of Final Fantasy that they're giving every Final Fantasy after seven a -2 because it doesn't have a story like Cloud don't you think that's a bit extreme? There's a difference between a legitimate reason and Fanboy rage..

_-EDMIX-_3550d ago

I mean that's your opinion you're free to have it but I am Tyler is correct the game won many Game of the Year Awards and got many perfect scores for a reason I actually agree with a lot of those Awards as last year Metal Gear Solid 5 was my personal favorite game I don't care for the story I agree it's not as good as the previous Metal Gear Solid in that respect but in terms of the gameplay is easily the greatest stealth game ever released in gaming I'm not even sure if there's a close second.

In terms of gameplay you actually got lots of the high-octane action segment special always normally get from metal gears you got your fix the car chase you got your Ultra stealth emissions which were plentiful you got your cool sniper battle as well as other cool boss battles but the thing I love about this game is I got lots of opportunity to play lots of different wild scenarios and really got to immerse myself with playing as big boss not just for merely 10 hours but an entire 90 hours of gameplay which I really really loved.

At the end of the day if we got 20 hours of gameplay and let's say a few hours of extra footage to give a good ending or to add more cinematics in regards to story for each of the characters in my personal opinion I don't really believe that makes the experience that much better especially if you're trying to say it be better if it had less gameplay I'm sorry but that's somebody that's played every single last Metal Gear Solid by default Metal Gear Solid 5 is the best in regards 2 gameplay you are playing more of the game in regards to stop action where as in previous Metal Gear Solid games they were just small segments the fact that Metal Gear Solid 4 was 20 hours 9 hours of that game was actual video footage of just unplayable cutscenes and you can actually look it up on YouTube to see that ratio.

Don't get me wrong I love the Metal Gear Solid I really like Metal Gear Solid 4 but I love the First Act in the second act as opposed to the rest simply because I got to play a solid snake against human enemies and sneak around them whereas after the first two acts you get one extremely terrible stealth scene in France and then you're fighting robots and mutants for the rest of the game I didn't care for the globe-trotting I just wanted to have one area in which I did start to finish stealth activity like the previous metal gears.

Even inside of Metal Gear Solid 3 my favorite segments or merely sneaking around to get from point A to point B and fully taking advantage of the world covering myself and mud and sneaking around keeping up my stamina meter eating animals all those things I loved extremely. You actually still got five to six hours of cutscenes which is actually normal for the Metal Gear Solid series I would say Metal Gear Solid 4 was the bizarre exception as I don't think 9 hours of cutscenes for any game is something normal.

I'm sorry but I just can't ask for so many cutscenes in a game , I get Metal Gear Solid 5 story could have been better but it's gameplay absolutely ruled and saved the entire game.

_-EDMIX-_3550d ago

Even if you try to bring up the repetition of some of the missions I want you to consider you were doing even less of these things in every Metal Gear Solid prior to so you're telling me less was better? The game should have had less content? This is seriously something a gamer wants to argue against?

I feel those that were disappointed or merely those that only care for the story as a person that has cared about solely the game play in the Metal Gear Solid Universe Metal Gear Solid 5 again is by default the best they've ever made with day and night cycles fully open world and all the tools at your disposal without her having to be able to fully dismantle your enemy or save someone how you see fit they absolutely did an amazing job with this game.

I feel to some Gamers seriously two hours of a cut scene changes their mind from the worst game of all time - the best game of all time and it makes you wonder if they're in it to play a game or to hear a story.

Don't get me wrong the story in Metal Gear Solid is absolutely amazing but I'm playing the game for most to actually play the game not watch it.

I think it's a bit of an extreme to say most disappointing of all time simply because the story of big boss is actually already known the information about who's the traitor is very obvious if you've played the entire series and I personally feel it's not that relevant in comparison to the actual gameplay. I feel those or grossly exaggerating the game will only realize it's brilliant when Generations go by in gaming and you actually never get another Metal Gear Solid to that caliber.

Trust me when I was younger when Resident Evil 3 first release I absolutely hated it and I ripped it apart yet years later when Resident Evil 4 released and essentially got rid of all the main features and then Resident Evil 5 and 6 continued on into boring action fast I went back and played Resident Evil 3 and realized how dumb and entitled I really was the game is absolutely amazing and it was too sad that I didn't even realize this because I was essentially exaggerating what the third game could have been enjoy what you have now because when this company destroys this intellectual property you're going to start to realize the Rarity you have on your hands with Metal Gear Solid 5 I think you might be exaggerating the disappointment but what were you actually expecting a 100-hour RPG? The fact that this game even reaches 100 hours is rare in the genre it existed.

Call me when you come across another stealth game that is as polished ,varied in quality and Variety in content as this game.

PlayableGamez-3552d ago

Practically pointless.. Everyone has GZ because gold and plus gave it out for free. And if you have PP well there you go... You have the MGSV:DE... The skins are not enough alone to pick this up... Needs more content..

_-EDMIX-_3552d ago

Everyone has XBL Gold and PSN Plus? When?

GZ didn't sell 160 million copies, everyone did not for a fact play this game.

Soooo the whole "Practically pointless" doesn't make any sense. This would not exist if it didn't have some sort of market. Someone didn't buy MGSV that might buy this version as suppose to a used copy. It exist for a reason, regardless if you like it or not.

Not sure what they has to do with real facts bud...

"The skins are not enough alone to pick this up" For whom? Those who already own it? Who is to say that is the target audience in the first place?

DMgHalt3551d ago

You're wasting your breathe dude. You're bad at the internet

geddesmond3551d ago

All DLC including 20 euros worth of in game currency. If I didnt own both games thats a deal to me and its a physical copy. I own both Digitally. I dont play online but i love the whole motherbase thing so 20 i game currency is a boost for people wanting to progress further quicker. I know they screwed over Kojima but its still a game straight from the mans mind. I waited until the game was 30 euros on ps plus before buying it as its digital but this edition makes it more lucrative to people still waiting.

I just bought MGS HD collection on PS3 cuz I lost game sharing license

I wish Konami would just port it to modern platforms. Wouldn’t mind replaying the series on PS4 for more trophies

Nyxus1207d ago

Yeah we are still waiting for them to renew the licenses, which they were going to do 'soon'.

sadraiden1207d ago

There are trophies in the HD collection, just sign into your ps account, you'll see ps3 and ps4 trophies grouped together when you're on PS4.

solidsnake2221207d ago

I guess I contributed to this, I purchased the original MGS on GoG for my Steam Deck. It's crazy how good the PC version looks compared to the PS1.

Orchard1207d ago

And Konami will still continue to neglect it because Konami...

Really well deserved though, it's one of my most favorite franchises that I go back and re-play on an annual basis.

MegaLogic1206d ago

Metal Geat lost its way after Snake Eater, eveything after that was a convoluted boring mess.

By the way, MGS2 and MGS3 are still not back in the stores...

Name Last Name1293d ago

It would sell more if you would let us play MGS4 in latest consoles.

Metal Gear Solid V Is The Greatest Stealth Game Ever Made

Hideo Kojima was dealing with a hostile publisher who was pulling his team’s game apart at the seams in order to launch in some form of finished state, and it’s still downright masterful. Everything about it is mechanically focused and aesthetically nuanced, and not a single thing feels out of place or without purpose. Big Boss moves about each environment with a pace that provides the perfect cadence to use all manner of gadgets in whatever ways you like.

You are incorrect and I will be taking this time to correct you. The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Forsaken Fortress is stealth that no game has yet to match. Having Link, crawl, sneak and hide under a barrel is innovative stealth that Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Thief and Tenchu wish they had achieved. I rest my case.

ChubbyBlade1332d ago

Cardboard box beats barrel

got_dam1331d ago

Lol I see what you did there.

fr0sty1331d ago

So tired of opinion pieces... I come here for hot news, not hot takes.

-Foxtrot1331d ago

Shit Metal Gear Solid game though

It's boring, empty, repetitive

Great mechanics and gameplay but it's just so dull....

1332d ago
Chard1332d ago

I played it long after the hype had settled, and I had a blast with it. Strip away the disappointment over what it could have been, and you're still left with a great game

porkChop1332d ago

The gameplay loop was phenomenal, no question. From a gameplay standpoint it's an incredible stealth game.

porkChop1332d ago

"Hideo Kojima was dealing with a hostile publisher who was pulling his team’s game apart at the seams in order to launch in some form of finished state, and it’s still downright masterful."

Let's not pretend Kojima was entirely innocent there. The game was 5+ years into development, way over budget, and wasn't even halfway done. That's why Chapter 2 is so unfinished and Chapter 3 was scrapped entirely. He was wasting time micromanaging and second-guessing everything his team was doing, and little to no progress was being made. The same thing happened with MGS: Rising. That's why the game got rebooted as MGR: Revengeance and was handed off to Platinum. That's the only way the game was going to get finished. And yet after wasting millions on a scrapped game, MGR only went on to sell a little over 1 million units. It was a failure no matter how you look at it.

That's why Kojima was "locked away" in his office for the final 6 months of development of MGSV. So the team could actually piece together and finish the game. Was Konami just supposed to let Kojima spend more than a decade with infinite funds to make one game? Kojima isn't Rockstar, his games don't sell 170+ million units. At some point the game has to come out.

I get that Konami are a garbage company but they aren't solely responsible for what happened with Kojima. As much as I love his games and will always be a fan, MGSV was almost entirely Kojima's fault and I'm tired of people pretending that it wasn't.

MIDGETonSTILTS171332d ago

Sounds like mismanagement by Konami.

generic-user-name1332d ago

Can you prove any of what you're claiming? Because I've seen Kojima build a studio and release a AAA game in 3 years with Death Stranding. All I'm seeing here are the same conspiracy theories that people like to believe to confirm their biases towards certain people, same with Neil Druckmann. For instance, MGSV may have been in development for a while but you leave out that he was also having the FOX Engine developed alongside it, an engine so good that MGSV ran at 60fps on a PS4.

He's gone on record disputing that he ever goes over budget on very rarely has to delay his titles.

"He was wasting time micromanaging and second-guessing everything his team was doing, and little to no progress was being made."

Where did you get this from?

Workshyskiver1332d ago

Best gameplay of the series hand down, its not even close. Worst story in the series hand down, its not even close.

Ezio20481332d ago

But that ending though with amazing music. The Man who sold the world.

1Victor1332d ago

I can’t say it’s the best or the worse to me I stopped playing metal gear at the end of 4 the official end of the snakes saga and the best in my book was 3 snake eater excellent gameplay and excellent story telling giving us the reason for big boss to go and create his own country before the metal gear saga on the 4-8 bits consoles.
