Forums - Gaming - First MGSV: GZ Review!

I agree, but if the scores would take such a drastic hit like in this case (they are rather prasisng the game itself, at least I assume Google didn't lose that ) that would mean, that reviews are valid only for released priced games unless reviews would get updated on the overall score any time a game gets a price cut, so it's a bit tricky.


But the review would be free to state "This game would be perfectly priced at ___" and then insert the price bracket they'd be thinking of.

And just maybe it'd encourage publishers to adopted a tiered pricing strategy rather than just £40 or indie with nothing in between.  Like Sony did with Sly 4 & Ratchet: Nexus.

Though that opens a whole other can of worms, so maybe not.

It's a shame. I love MGS but i'm not willing to drop 30-40 or whatever it is they want to charge on a demo.



Um, I have a question. Are they planning on including ground zero with phantom pain? If not...

Yeah I don't know why didn't I think of it still I think it would be a bit hard to determine, but overall I could see it happening, as right now it's a bit of a Wild West when it comes to pricing in games. Now it seems that more often reviews slam games for being too short, not looking that a game was starting at 40$...



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Still buying it because I have a discount code, but the second im done with it, its going on ebay. Never expected much from it in the first place. Keifer is the only thing that drew my attention.

how do metal gear solid games score by the way? I thought they usually score high 80s- low 90s


MGS1: 94

MGS2: 96

Well I wasn't going to get this game until its price goes down anyways.

Is this a review site that Meta will include?

not a very promising start for the " first system seller of this gen "


Who says it's the first system seller of the gen?

Main reason why i am not compelled to buy the game. The new snake sounds wimpy. It just isnt the same.

Holy shit, that reminds me of Zelda standards O.o

So MGS+LoZ games that are 80-85 are good but not good enough :p
