Well that's what i expected, most of the reviews only focused their judgment on the fact it is a (big) commercial demo and wanted to sanction this policy. But the technical aspect and the gameplay looks great, so i'm really looking forward to see the final version of MGS5 with GZ and TPP in bundle.
I find myself torn by two apparently contradictory feelings. Because i don't want this games in kit policy, i always hated the concept of DLC and anything that make developers sell their games into several pieces. But either you complain about all the abuses or you don't complain at all.
The way i see it, it's not that much worse than the DLC concept. I assume if the price were lower it wouldn't have been so negative all around the web, but that said there are a lot of DLC that don't give you much more in terms of value for money. DLC that are often already prepared and sometimes even already ready before the game's release, which is even less honnest that this commercial demo for me.
Not to mention that people spend a lot of money just to buy some skins, new maps or vehicles in their games. I don't think there is any worse value money in the entire galaxy than 5-10£ for 3 new maps or some new guns or whatever !
So i've mixed feelings about this, i like MGS and don't want to act like a fan boy and to defend a policy that i dislike. And on the other hand seeing all this hate for this game makes me think that it's a bit unfair.

Keep in mind each one of those maps is bigger than the size of MGS:GZ...

Actually after i posted this, i did watch a live session on a web site where they were playing GZ and i've to admit it is less big and shorter than what i thought. Since the missions and items collection quest are very superficial.
But i already said it's too expensive for what it is, now i think it even more. It just doesn't change the fact that millions of people buy DLC and useless items every days and find it normal, so i fail to see why GZ and Kojima is the devil now. Sometimes DLC are part of the games that were finally left on side on purpose to sell it later to make more money. Same shit different taste xD
