...Who wasn't expecting that at this point?
Way too little has been said about it. I honestly thought Konami was going to just scrap it to say money on it's upkeep.

A month out isn't bad.

Be very happy they acknowledged it exists and isn't cancelled.

EatChildren · Aug 3, 2015

Watch it get a stand alone and/or F2P microtransaction heavy release in the near future.

NoctisVsStar · Aug 3, 2015

I called it a GTAO situation, the LA team hasn't shown nothing and they had the nerves to say otherwise on twitter.

Scotia · Aug 3, 2015

Ah well. It sucks, but the main game will be able satisfy me for a while anyway. Me and my friends were excited to play MGO but as long as we get to play it at all is fine with me.

whyman · Aug 3, 2015

Ugh Konami. Im getting MGS V and then im done with them.

KodaRuss · Aug 3, 2015

Fuck, that is frustrating. Might hold off buying it then.

..... Fantastic.

funkystudent · Aug 3, 2015

I wonder if the guaranteeing of Kojima Productions JP really messed development of MGO up.

Anyway totally expecting it to be a trainwreck now. Seems like another GTA Online situation of "lets push this thing outside the review window so it doesnt kill us"

Arklite · Aug 3, 2015

A month wait, not too bad. At least I can take my time finishing the campaign without worrying about running into launch day vets on MGO later.

Vaev · Aug 3, 2015

Damn shame. I'm not mad, just a little butthurt.

brandonh83 · Aug 3, 2015

Not a big deal to me. It'll be something to look forward to after completing the base game.

AgentLampshade · Aug 3, 2015

Figured this would happen, really surprised at the PC date though. That's a hell of a wait.

Ploid 3.0 · Aug 3, 2015

Just call it a free update and they will be in the clear like Rockstar, Right???!

Be honest, are you actually buying MGSV for MGO3?

SolidSnake305 · Aug 3, 2015

Damn! I was expecting this especially with the limited showing of MGO. But I did not see Jan 2016 for PC MGO that is a little crazy.

Somewhat, yes. I'll play MGO much longer than MGSV that's for sure.

A friend of mine buying MGSV for MGO3 (He don't care anymore about the MGS Story)

Conkerkid11 · Aug 3, 2015

Wasn't all that excited for online, but super happy that PC version of MGSV is releasing alongside console version.

Yup.

Will Kjp even be around after December? How does a January launch make sense with what we know?

Boke1879 · Aug 3, 2015

I'm just glad the Forward Operating Base system is in the single player experience. Gonna be nice to build up my base and invade/check out others as well.

Kind of like what happened with Grand Theft Auto V's online portion. I'm ok with this...because I was kind of expecting it.

And now no one that is interested in this part of the game will trade it. Konami is protected, partly, from the backlash from the Kojima falling out.

I'm making all of this up.

robotrock · Aug 3, 2015

damn i can handle october 6th for consoles, i appreciate it even. but JANUARY FOR PC WHAT

this guy are sick · Aug 3, 2015

I supposed if it can't be helped it can't be helped, but this stuff always manages to kneecap online communities from forming properly, oh well.

Alienous · Aug 3, 2015

Does Konami not know that you should make these announcements with a trailer?

cripterion · Aug 3, 2015

Hmmm... I guess that's ok, can I get that Day 1 co-op mode instead though?

doctorblurg · Aug 3, 2015

I expected this but not that PC delay jeez.. at least it gives me time to take care of the single player

Sayad · Aug 3, 2015

Oh, I guess this is better than it being completely scrapped out.

TheSlySoul · Aug 3, 2015

Every new news about the game tends to be terrible.
Good job Konami! /s

I think I saw that November is the month Kojima and the other senior staff are out of there but I am not sure.

I wonder what this means for on going DLC support for MGO as well.

Actually I wonder what the situation is like at Kojima Productions LA (or whatever its called now)

fritzo · Aug 3, 2015

I'm not upset actually. Not a lot has been showed, like others have said, and its a free update. That LA team is putting in work. A delay in this sense isn't a bad thing.

malfcn · Aug 3, 2015

No big deal to me. Spend a month playing the single campaign.

CheesecakeRecipe · Aug 3, 2015

Some friends of mine and I were eagerly awaiting MGO3 as a fun diversion for a while to fill a gap in our multiplayer interests. Some of us had played previous installments and talked the others into getting excited about it, so it launching 4 months later is a huge buzzkill for everyone involved.

chronic_archaic · Aug 3, 2015

Shit... was excited for MGO more than anything after hearing how fun it is.

Drencrom · Aug 3, 2015

Well, gives me a month to play the SP exclusively before diving into online.

The PC delay tho... damn

so wrong.

Skele7on · Aug 3, 2015

not shocked at all :| But I'd rather it was good, rather than rushed out.

cackhyena · Aug 3, 2015

Glad I don't give a shit about online with this series. Maybe I'll check it out down the line.

fritzo · Aug 3, 2015

Bsigg12 said:

yup, 50% campaign, 50% MGO. Played alot of MGO2. So glad its coming back!

Demoskinos · Aug 3, 2015

Called it. There going to patch it in later.

Jawmuncher · Aug 3, 2015

Doesn't bother me at all. Better to wait than to push it too early. If anything it should all work out GTAV online did that same thing and wasn't too bad.

I am, I was just gonna fulton everything in single player

Two Words · Aug 3, 2015

Releasing the Samoa later is what fucks up the servers. Everybody will be done with the game and waiting for the MP. When the MP releases at launch, a lot of people just play the SP first.

PartTimeWarrior · Aug 3, 2015

Disappointing. I really enjoy MGO but a month delay isn't that bad

Napalm_Frank · Aug 3, 2015

I'm ok with this. Gives me time to focus on single player.

BIONIC-ARRRMMM!! · Aug 3, 2015

They need that extra month to make sure all the game ruining microtransactions are up to snuff.

NastyBook · Aug 3, 2015

At least I can enjoy the SP at my own pace now. Won't have to worry about players that go straight to MP as soon as they get the game.

Fancy Clown · Aug 3, 2015

Don't really care too much since I'm in it for the singleplayer, which is gonna be time consuming as fuck as is

Fury451 · Aug 3, 2015

This is more or less like what happened with GTA Online isn't it?

I don't really recall, but was there a lot of upset about that? It seems like the single player content will be enough to satisfy until this finally drops.

GenericUser · Aug 3, 2015

I'm ok with that. MGS5 to me is a single player gamer first and foremost. Nice that they attached a multiplayer component to the game and imo it really shows their effort to make that component serveable by delaying it for a short amount of time. Kudos.
