I was going to buy it anyway (during a sale, still not worth the full price to me), but now I have more of a reason to get it. In fact I feel like if Konami made this instead it would have improved their PR.
Metal Gear Survive
Are save slots a lucrative business?
I’ll admit, like I said the other night I didn’t get to experience much of Metal Gear Survive, though I did like it enough to consider buying it down the road perhaps during a sale… Mainly because of my scheduling preventing me from properly enjoying multiplayer matches and the microtransactions. Well, Konami has found another thing to charge people for, and it isn’t even a lootcrate? Want an extra save slot? It’ll cost ya.
Oh, Konami. We already knew that Metal Gear Survive would include microtransactions, but folks who picked up a copy the game yesterday have discovered Konami has come up with a creative new way to nickel-and-dime their customers. It seems Metal Gear Survive only comes with a single free save slot – if you want a second one you’ll have to pony up a significant chunk of extra cash.
I’ll probably buy it still in the future should the price be right and the planets align so that I can enjoy multiplayer sessions more often again, perhaps around that time the full game will come in its own pack… Kinda like a full game. :trollface: Besides, I still have a large collection of games to finish, with no microtransactions. :v:
On that note I have a hypothetical question: If I were to stream a particular Metal Gear game, what one would be the most interesting to start with and why? At this point I have access to all the games. :happy:
So I checked out a bit of Metal Gear Survive
Took a quick look at Metal Gear Survive’s Beta. I haven’t really played much other than to check out the interface. Similar to MGSV you can make your own character (with the option of playing a female this time as seen above) and play a bit in a private virtual practice area. I don’t know if I’ll play much more tomorrow, so not sure if I can provide a fair impression on the rest of the game. Plus, considering Metal Gear Survive will be $30 with microtransactions it’s really too soon to say. I may get it at some point but probably during a sale. I have a backlog to make love to until then. :melon:
