Metal Gear: Survive is more fun than I expected

you can't put a price on sparks
It does sound pretty neat, but if the single player isn't extensive it'll be a pass for me
Has anyone mentioned how large the open world is for finding resources?

Pretty much.
You'd have to be a new level of incompetent to make MGSV gameplay not fun in some way.
I'm a big fan of Kojima, but I always found that quote to be silly at best. I mean, a few years ago, Kojima literally said that he wanted Platinum's Metal Gear Rising to be about Gray Fox going up against nano-machine zombies.

Might be, but I'm not putting any money in the pockets of Konami.

You and me both I see!

I mean, from a gameplay perspective you really can't mess it up given how good MGSV's base is.

Yep, and I hope we aren't the only ones, I don't think the game will be terrible but well...its everything that happened around it

Kojima is an egomaniac so I'm not surprised about his silly statements where he literally contradicts himself, probably without even realizing it.

He also put that "zombie" sequence in MGS4 chapter 2

And the river in MGS3
I enjoyed the hour I spent with it at E3
Non-existent story but the mechanics were still solid and kicking not-zombies with the Walker Gear was neat.

And you could argue The Sorrow part in MGS3

Even if this is fun, there are way too many good games right now. I don't need to support this after how they handled Metal Gear, PT, and Kojima.
Hard pass.

This is the closest i'll ever get to Resident Evil X Metal Gear so i'm all for it.
Then there's also the fact to consider that every spin-off MGS game has been ace (Rising, Acid 1 and 2).
You don't need Kojima to make a fun game.

Exactly what I was going to say. Given the game mechanics left behind by Kojima it'd be hard to mess it up entirely.
It's just a question of what the single player content is like and if it's ruined by microtransactions.
It's silly to bring up the Sorrow, that was pretty much a dream sequence.
Survive zombies are straight up RE zombies complete with an alternate world. No mainline MGS has this.

They're literally just copying directly over from MGSV which, from a gameplay perspective, is a probably one of the greats of all time. So I don't think anyone doubted it was going to be fun, they'd have to actively try to fuck it up (but hey, it is konami).
The reason everyone makes fun of it is because of how stupid it is and obviously came from a room of old ass executives completely oblivious to what people like about the property.

He said that zombies shouldn't be the crucial part of a Metal Gear game, because the series has always been an action and stealth game with a political dramatic story with fiction, and I agree.
He had craziest shit than zombies in his games, but used as a metaphor for something, and not zombies just cause. At least that's my take.
Has it ever been said that it was delayed specifically so they could add single-player? I am aware the game will have a campaign (and I've heard it won't be very substantial), but I don't think it's ever been said that was the cause of the delay.
Seconded, hope to join you in some of that co-op goodness.
I don't think any variation of Snake is in this, so probably not?
Same
Kojima created an incredible gameplay system and then drowned it with his terrible storytelling. Konami has been left with this gift - unfortunate they go in a zombie direction.

Im softening a bit to the game itself but I cant find it in myself to support Konami anymore. Maybe if impressions are incredibly solid, Ill go for it used. At least that way they arent getting a penny from me.
Good rule of thumb for Kojima, he usually means the opposite of whatever he says.

Sounds like a mini-fortnite with MGSV controls. Sounds alright and I'll buy it discounted.
My future dream: "Konami announces Battle Royal mode for Metal Gear: Survive!"

Agreed 100%
MGSV still has a better story and universe than anything I played from the west, way more interesting than Uncharted 4 that's for sure.
The parasite is a genius idea.

Why the terrible gif? The individual is correct.

MGS as a whole? Maybe. MGS V? No, not even close.

because shoehorn in a lost brother and then make a story about them finding a treasure in the most cliche & boring way is amazing.
MGSV is more creative and memorable, period, even if you don't love it. UC4 is just bland, it's the most ''safe'' UC game I've ever played, they don't even had the nerve to kill off Sam.

I don't doubt it and never really have. My question is the same as it's ever been: to what extent and for how long? MGO3 was fun for a few rounds. Then things started revealing themselves, like how little depth there was to the gameplay, an essentially useless class system, and layers upon layers of microtransactions.

Welp, this was sooner than I thought but looks like the thread has been taken over by hot takes and reaction gifs.

It might not be up to MGS standard, but it's still quite creative and interesting.
