Piracy on PC no doubt

If someone owns a Xbox one or ps4 and a PC, they will be tempted to just download it on PC

That 2 week gap with a huge marketing push will make people cough up the dough

Never understood this. If you were gonna pirate it anyways... it being delayed 2 weeks won't magically make you go buy the game at 60 pounds on consoles.

 

[Corpekata]

Was ground zeroes optimized well for the pc? If so I can wait 2 weeks instead of the Xbox version.

Yes. One of the best PC versions of 2014.

Would have been a perfect port if they didn't cram 3 settings into 1.

 

[jett]

Goddamnit why can't it release on the same day, this is bullshit.

 

[BIGWORM]

 

[Lime]

lol @ £59.99. Fuck this industry. (not that I'm particularly interested in this game, I just think it's fucking ridiculous to charge that much for a PC game)

 

[robotrock]

Ugh okay. PS4 it is

 

[On Demand]

I can wait two weeks for a superior version.

You forgot the asterisk.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

The game is also coming on PS3 and X360 as well so if someone really wants to pirate it they can still do so and play the game on it. Obviously it won't be the same as the current gen versions but there's that.

Really? MGSV is on PS3/360? For some reason, I thought it was next-gen only.

 

[Paxem]

If there is a real difference in graphics then I will get the PC version, other than this PS4 version for me

 

[Jarmel]

I can wait two weeks as long as there isn't an Ubisoft-like delay.

 

[PnCIa]

2 more weeks for a fuck awesome version with potential improvements etc...worth the wait!
Now, about that MGSHD collection for PC??!!

 

[Bit-Bit]

Oh shit, so no internet for me for 2 weeks.

 

[Mifec]

Really? MGSV is on PS3/360? For some reason, I thought it was next-gen only.

Yeah it's pretty obvious from the graphics that it's crossgen.

 

[Santiako]

SIXTY FUCKING POUNDS?

 

[no maam]

Thanks guys, will def pick up this version.

 

[Gumbie]

2 more weeks for a fuck awesome version with potential improvements etc...worth the wait!
Now, about that MGSHD collection for PC??!!

Seriously, come on with it already Konami.

 

[Rafy]

wow 60 quid

konami can fuck right off if they price it similarly in euros

The Order was 71,99 Euro here so I guess they'll bump it up too.

 

[Lime]

Are people seriously willing to pay 60 pounds for a game?

The Order was 71,99 Euro here so I guess they'll bump it up too.

wow

 

[Auto-Reply]

SIXTY FUCKING POUNDS?

Stefanie Joosten modding though...

 

[texhnolyze]

Never understood this. If you were gonna pirate it anyways... it being delayed 2 weeks won't magically make you go buy the game at 60 pounds on consoles.

It's no use to explain it. Let it go..

 

[BIGWORM]

What's the price conversion equal to? $80 U.S.?

 

[RK9039]

lol @ £59.99. Fuck this industry. (not that I'm particularly interested in this game, I just think it's fucking ridiculous to charge that much for a PC game)

It's not just for PC, that's the standard price for the 'Day one edition' for all platforms expect last gen. It seems like people haven't noticed yet. I didn't realize people buy next-gen games for that kind of price, lmao.

 

[Mifec]

Are people seriously willing to pay 60 pounds for a game?



wow

Console games in Croatia cost around 110$, the non CE ones. Has been like this for years. I usually just buy games for my unemployed friends because of the disgusting prices.

 

[Aegus]

What's the price conversion equal to? $80 U.S.?

$90.

It's like they want people to pirate for that price.

 

[Forkball]

The fiddling never stops.

Now let's see if I survive two weeks without spoiling this game for myself.

 

[b0bbyJ03]

Fuck, its gonna be hard to not get it on ps4 since i know all my friends will be telling me how awesome it is but I didn't get a 980 to let it sit idle while i play multiplats on my ps4.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Shitty, but not as shitty as it could've been(GTA V).

Hopefully GTAV is out before MGSV......

 

[razgriz417]

As much as i want to have another game push my 970, still getting this for PS4. MGS has always been my go to ps franchise (that and getting in on that $40 walmart preorder) helped make my decision

 

[Lime]

Damn, that's crazy to hear. How much you think this will cost in Croatia? $150?

 

[Maintenance]

Sure, 2 weeks for the best version. At least they're not Rockstar yet, but if they push this further I'll wait for a sale.

 

[2spooky4me]

It will get delayed again. You all know it's coming.

 

[UnrealEck]

lol people can't wait 2 weeks for the superior version. People are even saying they'll forego the PC version for brand loyalty.

The 2 week extra wait isn't what's bothering me, it's the price. That's some EA bullshit right there. Actually it's worse than EA's bullshit if they're forcing you to buy the 'deluxe' version.
Basically 'deluxe' version means 'we took shit out of the game and kept it aside so we can charge people extra on top of the game they've just bought to have that shit back in their game'.

 

[Corgi]

lol now that I think about it... playing through all the MGS games the last few months... cost me about $40 total. Gonna be weird paying full price for this... but from what is known... this isn't gonna be a short linear game.

 

[King_Moc]

Annoying, but I can live with it. Lol at that price though, I'm sure green man gaming will help us out at some point before launch.

 

[Pacote-san]

I know a lot of people who will wait those 2 weeks just to play piracy version on PC

But others are saying FU*#$ it! Will buy on PS4

So perhaps this tactic will work

 

[Tommyhawk]

Eh, two weeks aren't a deal breaker.
I can wait, especially after the very good Ground Zeroes port.

 

[Mifec]

Damn, that's crazy to hear. How much you think this will cost in Croatia? $150?

I have no clue, btw they were selling GZ for 70$ here on release.

 

[SparkTR]

Eh, what I really want to know is where the PC HD collection that Verandas mentioned is.

 

[Zafir]

£60!?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha.... Yeah fucking right Konami.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

What's the price conversion equal to? $80 U.S.?

69.99$/€ i think.

 

[Nzyme32]

lol @ £59.99. Fuck this industry. (not that I'm particularly interested in this game, I just think it's fucking ridiculous to charge that much for a PC game)

Whoa. If it isn't a typo and actually £59.99, I refuse to buy it. £39.99 is the highest I would go, just as I do for every other game

 

[Mifec]

I don't get it though, lords of shadow 2 also published by konami was 60 on consoles but 50 on Steam.

So what gives, is the price increased just because it's metal gear?

 

[Stereogatari]

There's no way it will be £60 in stores. £50 at most and £50 on digital stores.

It will get delayed again. You all know it's coming.

It never got a release date in the first place.

 

[matrix-cat]

Price is ridiculous, and I can't imagine how they justify the delay. Spoilers are going to be everywhere the moment the game comes out; PC-only people are going to have to go full Amish for two weeks.

Feeling good about my plan to get the PS4 version day one and double dip on the PC version a few Steam sales down the line right now.

 

[cripterion]

2 weeks, that's not bad at all. Will definitely get on pc.

 

[Bl@de]

2 weeks? That's okay. I grew up with games coming to Europe a year later after Japan/US.

 

[UnrealEck]

I know a lot of people who will wait those 2 weeks just to play piracy version on PC

But others are saying FU*#$ it! Will buy on PS4

So perhaps this tactic will work

And perhaps it just infuriates people out of their planned purchase of the game on any platform.

 

[GhostTrick]

Okay who do we have to beg for a CE on PC ?

 

[Zafir]

It's not just for PC, that's the standard price for the 'Day one edition' for all platforms expect last gen. It seems like people haven't noticed yet. I didn't realize people buy next-gen games for that kind of price, lmao.

Only the RRP, which in the UK, isn't the price it's sold for in shops. Unless it's on digital store fronts. Which leads onto the issue here. No one's going to pay that price on Steam. I don't pay that price for digital copies on PSN or XBL either, for reference.

The only way I'm going to buy it is if there's a physical version that's being sold for less than RRP in online stores.
