They charge $30 for a demo when they should be charging $30 for MGSV at launch because that's what you get. Half a game.

All this is true. But Konami appear to have gone batshit crazy with the penny pinching. Eg making game creators do punishment labour at their gyms because they took too long over lunch etc etc.

Konami are nuts, just saying.

I hope this is a joke post.

The Phantom Pain's single player is most likely bigger than 95% of the games released this year, & of higher quality too.

MGSV is whole without MGO the same way GTAV is whole without GTA:O. It's not half a game. It's the largest MGS game to date, in a series famous for its longevity and replay value.

That's fine. Means I'll have time to play single player without feeling behind on the multiplayer front.

THIS

I am more than happy to wait for MGO3 if it gives them time to polish it. I want it to be good out of the gate. MGO2 is my favorite online experience to date.

I will be playing the campaign for awhile anyway.

So you believe that there isn't $60 worth of content within a full single player MGS game? You must have felt ripped off by the other MGS games.

Seriously I want to know why MGO is delayed so long on PC vs consoles.

Because it takes time to code/test something this is going to be played on a lot of different hardware. Most PCs are all different so probably harder to test for everything that could be encountered.

I have a PC I just built a few months ago, but I prefer consoles for all my gaming. Everything seems much more streamlined.

Console versions will come with a lot of DLC skins and microtransactions. Konami knows PC gamers will hack it and mod everything out so they are building a different version for Steam.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yes every post you don't personally agree with is a joke post. Both of your claims are pointless as the game isn't even out so you must be basing them purely off marketing content.

It's not incomplete because it's become a trend to release incomplete games? Sorry, I don't agree. Whoa it's the "Largest MGS to date". Sounds like that's good for a back of the box quote and not much else.

This game seems to be blatantly unlike the old MGS games, which were focused, high quality experiences in every way. I can only assume this apparent massive amount of content is mainly open world filler. I think it's very unlikely the actual core of the game that could be directly compared to the older games will be longer than any of them. That's usually how it goes for these things. Have to spend time and resources on crafting an open world experience then you have less time and resources to focus on what will be the core game. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for Kojima and company to supplant this stereotype, but seeing as how the multiplayer can't be ready at launch in any capacity, then call me crazy, but it doesn't instill confidence in me about the rest of the game.

I believe I won't be paying full price for a blatantly unfinished game. I believe that the series has been bad since MGS4 so for me it's very unlikely that the main story will be worth it. The best thing I think this game can be is a fun sandbox game. That in and of itself is a weird thing to try to put value on. So no I don't think it will be worth $60, especially now.

I think you're confusing MGSV with the separate product called MGO3. Since, you know, MGO3 was announced years after MGSV. MGO3 is unfinished; MGSV is not.

Well, I wasn't really planning on playing much of MGO, but the fact it got delayed isn't encouraging me to preorder (but I'm also greedy, so a ludicrous GMG discount would probably push me over :p).

One of the most predictable delays in recent memory.

Still sounds like there is plenty to remain occupied with in the base game, though, so I'm not really upset.

you don't think mgo is an add on to begin with? You really think it would make up half the value?

if they can make it better great, also this gives me time to not rush the single player just to jump in to multiplayer, can take my time and take the entire game in now.

I'm glad that they delayed MGO because I will probably play it once I finish MGSV and it would going to be hard to play against the veterans who played MGO from day 1.

I don't mind the delay at all. Gives me time to enjoy the campaign and not worry about jumping in to MGO3 to worry about playing against others who didn't bother with the campaign just to play the online portion.

Do those that have played more earn a competitive advantage other than experience? By that I mean are they earning unlocks which are direct upgrades over new players?

I've never played Metal Gear Online so I honestly don't know how it works.

There are too few details about this one to know what route they're taking. MGO2 utilized Drebin Points, but you only earned levels by how well you did. If you did badly, your level would go down. There were no hard levels outside of Skills. You had a slot limit for skills and you were allotted Drebin Points before the match to choose weapons. You could increase Drebin Points during the match to purchase better weapons during the match. Nothing ever carried over besides skills and your levels.

If MGO3 is like MGSV, then there should be greater customization. They'll more than likely try to integrate MGSV systems into MGO3. That's if MGO3 even comes out and for PC it'll be coming out (supposedly) after a lot of KojiPro have exited the company. Whatever supervision that was coming from Japan will probably be replaced by someone else.

Good call, delay the online portion well out of the window when the game still has mindshare, and into the window of when a bunch of online-centric games begin hitting.

Not surprised, and frankly I don't really care about MGO3 at this point. Just give me the single player. I doubt I'll even use any of the online features.
