Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes

Ground Zeroes has this awesome reversible cover art



Much better than the awful default art

Just found this interesting article:

"Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is the best, most expensive demo ever made"

www.eurogamer.net/.../2014-03-05-metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-preview

 

Ground Zeroes gets a release window

m.ign.com/.../metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-release-date

 

This is not encouraging:
www.examiner.com/.../why-metal-gear-solid-v-ground-zeroes-is-a-scam

"I completed the first mission in just under 25 minutes. What I wasn't expecting was that I completed the game in its entirety. Yes, the game is a level long and in that level you are tasked with rescuing Chico and Paz. Both prominent characters from the
Peace Walker game which was released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010."

I've had stools that took longer to pass than that.

 

What that thread on that examiner site left out (btw that site is a load of garbage anyways. they make up topics just to draw people into their site all the time) is that there are a good amount of side ops, collectables and multiple ways to play through
the missions. I can guarantee beating the mission in 25 minutes they did not obtain 100% game completion. If you're a fan of the franchise and most important, the story then there will be a lot of stuff to find and a few questions answered: like who is skull
face.

 

Everyone is over hyped this game is pretty boring. its all about sneaking now.

 

£23 for a demo of phantom pain no thanks.

 

Collectables and side missions don't interest me, nor do they interest most other people I'd imagine. You shouldn't have to be a completionist to get good value out of a game, that's absurd.

 

£23 for a game that will last me 5-10 hours, doing side missions and stuff seems like a fair deal to me. I've payed £40 for games that last 5-10 hours!

 

Lol....

Wow 10 mins, and i was considering picking this up after originally dismising it. Have dismissed it again now and look forward to other games released on the sameday.

 

For what there is, the game looks good, and no doubt the proper game will be a stunner, but no way in hell should this have been released as anything other than a piece of marketplace DLC for around 10-12 quid!

I should add I haven't played it and don't intend on getting it, so i'm only going by what i've read and seen across the boards though..

 

Ok, it would be almost impossible to complete it in 10mins if you hadn't already played through a few times to learn the route, etc.... but still...

Should be a preorder bonus not a released title
