    METAL GEAR COMETH

    On March 18, no more than 27 days from now, A Hideo Kojima Game, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will land on consoles old and new alike. Like the arrival of MGS4 way back in 2008 this is to me The Moment. Shoot your flares up in the air because the next gen is here. Yeah Thief is right away and Infamous is coming soon after MGS but let's be real...

    Thief was once something special. Infamous is on the edge of being something bigger than it is.

    Metal Gear Solid is among the crown jewels of videogames and I'm SICK SICK SICK and TIRED of all this whining and crying about how much it costs. MGS is the series that made me love games and it's the series that time and again reminds me why I love games and what's special about them, both from a mechanical and narrative perspective. You can keep telling me I'm going to get burned but I've never been let down by MGS before and I sure as hell don't see it happening this time. We'll see how many hours and how many mind blowing moments I get for my 40.

    I AM SO PUMPED for Metal Gear I'm basically just punching a hole in the wall repeatedly waiting for it to show up at my desk.

    So if you are pumped... Join me?

    Yes, physical on PS4, but not day one, on the account that I don't currently own a PS4 and lol last gen what the fuck ever. I would hope that I'd be patient enough to wait until the Phantom Pain hype startsa rollin, but who knows, if the reviews/user impressions are good enough, I may bite my tongue and get it on PS3.

    At this point I think I'm going to get it day 1 as a download on PS4. I absolutely love Metal Gear, I consider myself a Metal Gear Addict. Really, I'm not downloading it to save $10, I'm thinking I should do that so I have instant access to it, so I don't have to switch between that and inFAMOUS Second Son.

    woo, that was a lot of options I had to click.

    But my real answer is probably buying it day one. I have this thing where I kinda really like MGS even though the stories always end up being relatively incomprehensible for me at some point. I think all of the games have melded into one confusing plot. This happens to include both Metal Gear Acid games... So it's really screwy

    I definitely will, I'll download for PS4. I don't actually have a PS4 at the moment though, I'll probably buy one around the time MGSV proper comes out and I'll play them back-to-back.

    You say that like "well I already ate my broccoli so I guess cauliflower is OK too". :D are you excited though?

Really, I'm not downloading it to save $10, I'm thinking I should do that so I have instant access to it, so I don't have to switch between that and inFAMOUS Second Son.

    I was wondering about this too. I really want to order it off Amazon but I might lose my mind if the game is available digitally but not physically in my possession.

    Is there an easy way to play the Acid games?... that's a black hole in my MG history.

    No don't do it! Burn your money and get physical like me. Then one day you can look at your dusty games shelf and go Ahhh yes. Ground zeroes.

    @geraltitude: If you have a PSP... then yeah? I don't believe they're on PSN at all... I think that might be the only way. But don't worry, I wouldn't say they're absolute must-plays (even if they were my favorite PSP games after Work Time Fun)

    You put 360 instead of Xbox One towards the end there.

    Anyways, nah. I kinda still have to play every other Metal Gear Solid game before I worry about this 2 hour prologue.

    naah... no PSP unfortunately. Though I guess they are probably pretty cheap these days? Who knows. Maybe get it one day. I'm sure there are some other good PSP games.

    Since its coming out a long time before phantom pain comes out, I'm definitely not getting it day one. I'm hoping that there will be some bundle that comes with both near the time of phantom pains release (hopefully for a discounted price)

    Day 1, digitally on PS4, no doubts about it. I love the hell out of Metal Gear and it's been almost four years since the last Solid released.

    Looked up theJapanese FOX Edition PS4 Bundle thinking they must give some crazy bonus item with it like a Raiden body pillow or something until I realize it was a ps4 bundle (which should have been obvious from the start). Which also mean Metal Gear GZ will be available like.. this weekend (?) for japan?

    .... not that I want a Raiden body pillow by the way...

    >.>

    ... I swear I'm not.

    Yes, waiting for the Physical copy on the PS4 to drop, probably around $20.

    @snail: I also voted for both ''Fuck Metal Gear'' and ''I love Metal Gear''. I think that sums up my thoughts pretty succinctly with that franchise.

    @geraltitude: Yeah, I think there are a few non-psn games worthwhile for the PSP. If you don't mind card games and ridiculous plot (you probably don't mind the latter if you're into MGS) then you'll probably like the MGA series.

    I don't know. At its best MGS was way up there in my favorites and for years i would have never missed a new game. But then its 2014 now which makes it 10 years since i last thoroughly enjoyed an MGS game. MGS4 was a bummer as was Peace Walker.

    I think i might be done with Metal Gear in general. Previews and reviews will confirm one way or the other i suppose.

    360 digital on day one, I love Metal Gear aside from MGS4 (Peace Walker redeemed the series for me gameplay-wise) so I know I'm gonna play through this thing like six times within the first week. I really want to know what it feels like to play this game, how the mechanics and the controls work, and for that I'm absolutely fine paying $20 for a small chunk of the game.

    Yes it's 20 bucks for new metal gear, but anyone that pays more than 20 is dumb.

    Why would you volunteer to pay more for the same thing?

    I could see paying $30 for the next gen digital versions, especially PS4 which looks really sharp. I don't know why someone would pay $10 extra just to have a physical copy though.

    Maybe because in the UK digital (console, I should add) games are often extremely over-priced. Hell, the cheapest we have it going for over here is the equivalent of $36 -- which is the physical version of the PS3/360 version. And this also isn't like Australia where they have a comparatively generous minimum wage to make up for it, either.

    I am literally the worst kind of person.

    I currently have plans to get both of the Japanese special editions on top of PS4 digital so I can play it when it comes out.

    I'll get it once I get a PS4 which will likely not be for at least a year. If The Phantom Pain has DLC I might just wait and hope for some sort of GOTY Edition that includes Ground Zeroes and all of the DLC for one low price. I hate it when I buy a game on sale for like $20 and then have to spend 3x that much on DLC.

    Fuck no. Remember when you got something like this as a demo? Like seriously.

    A two hour main quest with a storyline + two types of side missions with generous amounts of both? I must have missed that golden age of demos. The MGS demo I played a decade or more ago was like 10 minutes long. Ride the elevator. "A security camera?" Crawl into the base. End of Demo.

    :D

    I'll get it once I get a PS4 which will likely not be for at least a year. If The Phantom Pain has DLC I might just wait and hope for some sort of GOTY Edition that includes Ground Zeroes and all of the DLC for one low price. I hate it when I buy a game on sale for like $20 and then have to spend 3x that much on DLC.

    Yeah this is fair enough but I just can't wait. No doubt I will slap myself when the time comes though.

    I don't think theres enough poll options, also day 1.

    Sorry I'm still flexing the multi poll muscles. Will do better next time Boss.

    Yes it's 20 bucks for new metal gear, but anyone that pays more than 20 is dumb.

    Why would you volunteer to pay more for the same thing?

    I could see paying $30 for the next gen digital versions, especially PS4 which looks really sharp. I don't know why someone would pay $10 extra just to have a physical copy though.

    Well I can! It's called being obsessed with Metal Gear.

    I always buy physical copies of my favourite franchises. I just like to have them on a shelf basically. Ten dollars is worth that for me.
