I haven't seen a lot of talk around here or elsewhere on MGS Ground Zeros. What is the consensuses on it? From what I've read, it's a glorified demo with a $35 price tag.

I've been holding off, waiting for it to drop in price. It's now $19 on the PSN store (still $35 for a physical copy). Is it worth it for $19?


Tough Question.  If you're a huge MGS fan like me then it's worth $30... but just barely.  If you do every single thing there is to do in the game, the most time you'll spend on it is 15 hours.  However, I think most people would agree it's worth it at $20.  The quality is superb and what there was of the game I thoroughly enjoyed.

I could have grabbed it from Best Buy last week for $16, but I passed.  It will either be $10 soon or it will be bundled with Phantom Pain.  Either way, I can wait.

We haven't been getting any good sales up in Canada lately. MSG Ground Zeros was released at $35, and it's only dipped to $30 once. It's now back up to $35 at retail.

Thanks for the update.
Last exam tomorrow, then I will start climbing the table once again. Aiming for rank 25 by the end of the year.

Hey Arcturus, get rid of ethomaz so I can go up a rank =P

edit: "The trophy league is intended for active members of the VGChartz community"

Does Best Buy in Canada have the Gamer's Club Unlocked thing where you can get 20% off all games?  It's a pretty sweet deal, especially if you can get the membership at a discount.

I haven't seen any mention of a Gamer's Club at Best Buy in Canada. Futureshop (another retailer similar to Best Buy) does have a deal where you can pre-order any game shown at E3 and receive $20 off each game if you pre-order three or more.

Thanks. I'm a fan of MSG as well, and I've been waiting for it to drop below $20. I didn't know you could spend 15 hours in the game, however. I kept seeing arcticles when it was released saying that you could finish it in 15-30 minutes.


It is possible to complete the main level that quickly but there is plenty to do besides that.  I don't think it's possible to get all of the trophies in less than 8 hours.

@Arcturus
Buy it digital! Show it off to your friends! MGS is definitely worth $20. I'd say it was worth $40 to me just to experience a next gen MGS game and it has me super hyped about Phantom Pain. Only game I want more that Phantom Pain is Uncharted 4.

I was initially slightly disappointed with how short the main story mission was, but mainly because it was so fun to play and I wanted more! Luckily there are an extra 6 side missions and on the road to 100% extra challenges include S ranking all of those on normal and beating all missions on hard (minus Jamis Vu since it was DLC). And then you have to unlock all challenges for a trophy which requires you to beat each mission a minimum of 4 times total by doing timed challenges and tagging enemies. Twice on normal and two times on hard. I think it took me around 12-15 hours to reach 100%.

Ok, I'm convinced :)  I'll get it this weekend.

Finished Lemmings Touch on Vita. About to go blind (my eyes are literally twitching). The difficulty gets crazy in its demand for accuracy... Like if there's one pixel between a bridge you're building and a platform, the Lemmings will fall through. But then if you give a command one micro-second too late, the Lemming will move on and not be where you need him to be... And the cannons/trampolines are super fidgety -- some of those levels need pure luck, on top of perfect execution!

But for the sake of nostalgia, I persevered. I'm now one of two people who has completed the game on PSNProfiles.

Edit: One of three now. Someone just synched their trophies and according to the dates, he/she earned them earlier than me.
