MGS: Ground Zeroes is 2 hours long

^Actually the physical copy on 360 is $30. The digital version is $20. On next gen both of those numbers increase by 10.

 

Ya, not paying $40, or even $20 for a 2 hour long main campaign.

Was this the same game that they showed at E3?

[/quote]No. That was Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain. This is just the prologue to that game.

 

^^ What's wrong with that then? I know it's going to be priced too high, but if it was like 10 bucks then I'd get it. As long as Phantom Pain is long then it's all good I guess.

 

The issue is its $30 for disc and $40 for digital on next gen consoles. Thats a hefty price tag for a 2 hour game. If it were 10 bucks no one would even be bothered commenting on it.

Yea , i found that ridiculous when some games that are for current and last gen have the same prices (AC 4, Thief, Lego Marvel. COD Ghost, Battlefield 4 etc with the exception of a few like i mentioned about Zoo Tycon but there is a reason to have a different
price.

Is this a duplicate thread? Anyway, I THOUGHT I just posted that it's non-linear and that if one were to just focus on the main quest of any non-linear game, wouldn't it probably be around 2 hours?

[/quote]You're aware that "non-linear" doesn't mean free roam or open world, right? Non-linear just means you're free to do things in whatever order you want, whatever way you want to do them.

 

There are "branching paths and side missions" though. I didn't say anything about it being open world like Fallout 3. I've played all the MGS games and none of them are open world, so I wouldn't think Zeroes would be different.

 

The Phantom Pain is open world. Infact, it was announced a long time ago that the next Metal Gear Solid would have a large open world. It was even displayed during the announce trailer at E3 last year. And even if these side missions double the content of
the game, that's still too short to warrant a purchase.

Here.

 

ok I just read an article. Ground Zeroes is the prologue to The Phantom Pain. GZ will be a digital download. It's starting to make a little more sense.

 

Given my short attention span(10 minutes), I should finish this in my 12th play session.Sounds good! When does it come out?
