RevolutionaryJusticar Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Makes sense. Last TRUE Metal Gear Solid, last chance at easy cash-in from the already huge fanbase, yet taken to the max this time. I'll laugh my &#! off it half of the singleplayer will also be locked at release and later become DLC content for like 7,49$ a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocorro Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Ugh so Konami is like : I do love MGS series, but since Kojima isn't with them anymore, then my money goes with him. (btw. really hate all those pre-order, DLC (as in one small thing costing few bucks Q.Q), microtransaction bs in paid game titles - f2p are another story tho).

[DE]Artarrwen Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well to be fair, it's not a huge issue. Like I said, the main focus is the story mode. Which has microtransactions. Makes sense.

That if they announce Reveangence 2 with "Rules of Nature" blaring in the trailer you won't be first in line to pre-order it? You're exactly the poor sod that re-inforces their choices.

If you really mean that, good for you. Konami and all these other companies are walking all over you. Speak with your wallet, even if it hurts that you won't be able to enjoy the games. It's tragic that you're unable to resist the temptation of Phantom Pain, but perhaps in the future you'll be able to see the intrinsic value of taking a stand.

You can bet the stuff they sell with microtransactions will turn into a grind if you don't want to pay. Nobody adds microtransactions wanting to not make money.

(PSN)Galbrant Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I admit it is possible the flow of the game can be affected by the microtransactions to tempt you to buy Mother Base Coins. But I have the game Pre-Order digitally and there is no way in hell I'm not missing Kojima's last Metal Gear game. And I have no interest in the Forward Operating Base because its stupid to pay for stuff that you can lose to other players and I do get very very salty when I lose. So the real and core of MGS V is the Phantom Pain single player experience that I paid specifically for and Metal Gear Online is just a bonus. A bonus I don't give a crap about. And if I can wait for a Warframe to be built in 3 days I definitely can deal whatever wait time they throw at me in Mother Base Development... even though I already paid for the freaking game...

(PSN)Pharen Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Konami has released a statement: "The FOB mode will be fully accessible at launch and the micro-transaction layer to that specific feature in the game primarily acts as an accelerator." Today, further clarification came as Konami stated "the initial FOB, which includes the FOB command platform and all sub-platforms, is not behind a Mother Base coin paywall. Maintaining other FOBs past the initial set of FOB platforms can be purchased with Mother Base coins." http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/xbox-one/news/g55dcd49e080d2/Metal-Gear-Solid-5-microtransactions-still-under-question/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GPNZ+Newsletter+2015-08-26 Edited August 28, 2015 by (PS4)Pharen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
