I can pick out a lot that put me off of the title. Even though I beat it, the story, gameplay, and elements of exploration left a lot to be desired. I did not go for a replay.

If I had to boil it down, the biggest immersion-breaker was how NPCs contributed nothing outside of quests. It sounds small, but when the one or two major settlements on the island offer nothing new after HOURS of narrative development, it feels false.

Even in NES RPGs the developers at least updated the dialog after a major event.

I'll play Risen 2, but I hope they stepped their game up.

Maybe it is just me but MGSV is not on the store. I have looked in every category and even searched with no luck.

LAWSON724269d ago (Edited 4269d ago )

Nope, says oops

@below

Not in GmG for me only Angry birds and TF

neil3634269d ago

Yep, it's definitely there. Both on the games store online and on my console in the Games With Gold bit.

JeffGUNZ4269d ago

Same there here Lawson, can't find it and that link doesn't work. As long as it's there payday I'll be happy!

danowat4269d ago

Metal gear on the xbox one worth £12?

danowat4269d ago

Because of all the negative feedback on it being "just a demo", just wondered if £12 was good value for what it is.

JohnJ4269d ago

Not worth it in my opinion. Maybe a fiver, I bought it new and was disappointed with the fact it is very much a demo

LAWSON724269d ago (Edited 4269d ago )

Well I bought it used at GS with plans to return it after I seen what cause of all the complaints were about

Anyways I personally would not play it until MGSV is about to come out. It pretty much feels like a glorified demo that makes you want more next gen MGS

Dirtnapstor4269d ago (Edited 4269d ago )

Yes it is a very good initial installment for TPP. There are a multitude of things to do. Invest.

mcstorm4269d ago

Well MGS V being £12 has now got me sold just bought it keep the deals like this coming MS loving gold on Xbox one so far.
