Forums - Sony - MGS4...will I get screwed again?

TruckOSaurus on 21 March 2008

After playing Metal Gear Solid on PS1 I got hooked on the series and when Metal Solid 2 came out I bought it on release day... I was happy and played the game from start to finsh but then a few months later Konami releases Metal Solid 2 : Substance with shiny new extras and leaves me with an inferior version of the game in my hands.

 Since I'm not about to pay full price for a game I already own just for a few extras I let it pass by and forget about it. Then Metal Gear Solid 3 goes along and the whole f'ing scenario repeats itself with Subsistence. So basically being loyal to the series and buying the game on release always leaves me with the incomplete (or non-definitive) version.

 So as the Metal Gear Solid 4 release comes forward, I'm thinking to myself... should I hold out for the inevitable MSG 4 : Subclearance (or something like that), so this time I get the full package? What's your take on these re-issue games?

Well, unless you pre-ordered the Xbox360 version of the game... no, I don't think you got screwed. ;)

Without a question they will come out with another edition. If you want to wait, then go ahead. Fans will just buy it anyway and then if they think it's worth it, buy another one.

It depends if it's worth the 1 year wait to you.

I say F**k them and make your own Metal Gear... with Blackjack and Hookers...

Companies should release a game when its done not version 1.0 or 2.5 or whatever... thats what I love about Nintendo when its done it IS done....

Nice Futurama reference.

I say just buy it and be at peace with it. I know a friend who will go and buy 2 copies of the game (he likes to save one for future)... completely nuts

@ TruckOSaurus )

I think this time those special things, which come with the special edition, will come as downloadable content aswell, so in my opinion early buyers won't get screwed again.

Its kind of like when movies come out on DVD, do you get them now or hold off for the inevitable re-release. You could just split the difference and buy the special edition version.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

@Lafiel : I had not thought about downloadable content (don't have a PS3 yet so I'm not used to it I guess). I guess I can buy it without fear now!
