    Poll Are you buying Ground Zeroes next week? (326 votes)

    Hell to the fucking Yes ( I look forward to playing it and enjoying that tactical mgs experience) 46%
    Hell to the fucking No ( I ain't playing it and I have my reasons) 17%
    Well maybe ( I'm tempted, but still not for sure if its worth it yet) 37%

    Well after I've got bored of playing that piece of shit Thief game. I'm going to go ahead and check out Ground Zeroes, and trade in Thief and put it to good use of paying off the game. At first I wasn't going to get Ground Zeroes because I've been hearing about the ''length'' issue, but fuck it the game can hold me over until second son releases. Besides after playing Thief I don't give a shit if the game is short as long as its enjoyable I'm fine.

    This is definitely a case where I'm waiting for reviews. I don't mind paying $30 for a 2 hour game if those 2 hours are really good but we'll see.

    PS4, physical, because I need more game cases for my ego (and to bring over to my good friend who is a MGS freak).

    I'm pretty excited actually, the MGS games are a special experience not quite like any other.

    I clicked Maybe, but I'm leaning towards No. It's not that I don't enjoy Metal Gear, there are basically two reasons why I'm leaning towards No. The first is the short length vs. the dollar amount to spend. The second is that I just know that once Metal Gear Solid V proper comes out there is going to be a version that has both games seamlessly integrated into one another, and I have a feeling that will be the experience that Kojima wants us all to play, and that'll be the one that I want to play.

    I was able to find a good price on the PS4 version so I went ahead and pre-ordered. I'm cautiously optimistic about it, like I am with most games.

    I've never been into MGS, though mostly because I couldn't play them when they were originally released (Talking about 1-3). But there's also the fact, that all those story bits I saw in the trailer for Phantom Pain and the things I've read/heard about MGS4, probably couldn't be any less appealing for me as they are now. I'm just not one for Japanese overly melodramatic stuff.

    However, the gameplay in the PSN Store QL looked like decent fun, so...if I'm done with South Park this weekend, then maybe? I'm also waiting to get my hands on inFamous later that week and could use something to waste my time with.

    Yep. Also I found it hilarious that Patrick felt the need to criticize people looking to buy Ground Zeroes by saying "have some respect for your fucking wallet". It surprised me to discover that the man who championed Gone Home at $20 was so concerned about the dollars-to-hours ratio of a game he hasn't even played yet.

    No. Looks interesting, but not enough that I'm willing to pay a premium price so far in advance of the rest of the game. I'm guessing by the time Phantom Pain is out, there will be some means through which I can get the prologue at a discount.

    Almost for sure it'll come out and I'll buy it. But for right now I'm saying I'm on the fence and I want to wait for reviews. I'll probably buy it for sure though. I really can't decide.

    It has metal gear in the title so I would buy it no matter what, but I found it for £23 which is a bonus.

    @falserelic: In case you didn't know they changed the price to $30 for the physical version, same as the digital for PS4, so if you are interested in the physical copy the price is not an issue anymore.

    And i am definitely getting it next week. Even if it is a short game, MGS is one of the few series i enjoy enough that ill buy most anything they put out.

    Cool, thanks for the heads up. Now I can just buy the game and get right down to the nasty stuff.

    Quit with all this "2 Hour" nonsense. The main mission is indeed 2-3 hours long. There has already been confirmed to 8-10 hours of content in the game. Also, yes buying it. Can't wait!

    I will want to play it sometime between now and when MGS:V comes out, but I'm in no rush. I'm sure it will have some kind of sale on the PS4 during that time.

    I don't know. I do really want to play it, but that price is a little hard a sell. I could easily put that money towards Infamous. I'll just have to wait and see what the word of mouth is.

    Oh, I'm going all digital. The day I wanted to start NfS Rivals and it asked me to put the disc in? Last time that ever happend on my PS4. Albeit Sony should start selling PSN codes to retailers, as well as finally start with more dynamic pricing on the PS4's PSN storefront proper. I know Amazon has a PSN code store, but why shouldn't brick and mortar shops not get to deal in codes as well? I want to go all digital, doesn't mean that PSN gets to have a monopoly. Green Man Gaming is pretty sweet for Steam deals for example. I'd like outlets like that for my PS4 as well.

    There is no category for me. I want to play it super bad but my ps3 died and I wont have a ps4 for years. But ultimately, I guess I can just marathon thru this and the phantom pain when that comes out.

    Too bad too, MGS3 is my favourite of all time.

    I was planning to buy an Xbox One this month, but I had to get the starter in my car replaced, so all that extra money went down the drain.

    Still planning to pick it up for PS3, because yeah. New Metal Gear.

    I'll be getting Infamous: Second Son and will be playing Dark Souls II. For the asking price seems a bit much for a 3 hour campaign. I'm looking forward to the Phantom Pain but not enough to get this prologue without some decent discount.

    No because it's been 10 years since the last MGS game i enjoyed and this one doesn't look that good.

    If i ever play it it's not gonna be on PS3 anyway and a PS4 is probably not happening for a very long time if ever.

    Definitely. Going to download the PS4 version, because I'm a Metal Gear Addict that will be playing this game more than a sane person should over the coming months.
