As you may recall, in late August Konami announced Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience package, which will debut next week in North America. To promote the title, the company launched a trailer.
200,000 Metal Gear games were sold between the end of September and the end of December of last year, bringing the total to 59.5 million.
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
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.
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.
Metal Geat lost its way after Snake Eater, eveything after that was a convoluted boring mess.
Half a million Metal Gear games were sold between the end of June and the end of September, Konami has revealed.
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.
Shit Metal Gear Solid game though
It's boring, empty, repetitive
Great mechanics and gameplay but it's just so dull....
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
The gameplay loop was phenomenal, no question. From a gameplay standpoint it's an incredible stealth game.
"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.
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.

Where did you get this from?
Best gameplay of the series hand down, its not even close. Worst story in the series hand down, its not even close.
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.
Does anyone know if the DLC and add ons are on the disc? Usually Konami releases these as the original disc with new disc art and then gives you the codes. Anyone know for sure?
Ground Zeros- the only dlc in the world that got realased before main game
Not every game needs a definitive edition, I swear every game releases twice these days.
Konami milking all they can after Kojima departure.
LOL..didnt this game get released on PS4/X1?
