MGS Survive flops on PC & Consoles

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

What they should have done was make chapter 3 DLC without Kojima. The team and whatever script Kojima had finished would have been enough for someone to competently finish the game and series.

>Do absolutely nothing to stop the backlash
>WOW HOLY SHIT WHY DID OUR GAME FLOP?

Hmm not sure

I might consider pirating it, but hearing things like "it doesn't get good until 20 hours in" and "fence stabbing simulator" don't really get me excited or motivated to play it.
I'd way rather play what I already have instead. Also they apparently they reuse the maps from V or something?

FREE TO PLAY WHEN

...

No Kojima, No Metalgear. The series already ended.

Who was this game made for? Metal Gear fans don’t like it because it’s not Metal Gear. Kojimbo cocksuckers hate it because Kojimbo didn’t make it. Normies have no idea what this game is because it doesn’t have the Call of Duty branding. It was bound to fail from its inception.

Not surprised at all, and I'm glad. It looked completely dull and boring. And it has absolutely fuck all to do with anything resembling MGS, so using the name is just sad.

Steams top seller ranking really isn't indicative of how well something is selling. Dragon Quest 2 was a global top seller on steam when it came out and it sold like dogshit

It doesn't use the metal gear solid name, retard

Good think it's a GMG top seller too then.

That's because you can pay Steam to feature you as a top seller. It's just a marketing trick to make your product as visible as possible.

Lets do a little compare and contrast

Game could have been something if Capcom jumped on it and replaced the title with Resident Evil. Play as a survivor in a quartined city with a virus outbreak

Keep in mind the beta was free and numbers usually drop off from here see Lawbreakers

Oh no NO NO NO NO ERRMMMM HAHAHAHAHAHAH, LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS SALES. What happened Konamibros, I thought we were going to prove people wrong. DO SOMETHING

No you can't lol

fantastic game. numbers will only continue to grow through word of mouth

Isn't that the premise of Outbreak?

At the very least, it'd be a hell of a lot more interesting than Metal Gear Survive. Just changing the setting and lore would make a big difference.

>Who was this game made for?
Contrarians

I wish they'd take another stab at that online multiplayer Resident Evil that was on PS2. The technology is now there to really make it work.

Yes you absolutely can, and every dev does it.

>waifu hunter

To be fair, it didn't have a chance to begin with. Most people I talk to still think it's a full 60USD game with no story mode. The few that have "looked into it" think it's just stabbing through fences or that it's actually viable to stand on top of structures and just lazily poke Wanderers. The end product has some true faults that's no doubt but the sheer number of people that know next to nothing about this is astounding for the amount of backlash there was.

Outbreak but with online multiplayer and the whole city to explore.

>85% less than Rising
lul, give Raiden his own series already.

Angryjoe said its bad. I think its bad

>Outbreak but with online multiplayer

Wasn't that Outbreak's entire gimmick? Being online multiplayer.

I'm sure contrarians pretend to like the game but dont even own it or play it. They just do it for the sake of being contrarians...

source?

Because no one wanted this game
Konami just made a mobile game you pay for on consoles
Making real games takes too long

but it's such a good game

...

fuck you

So it survived flopping? That must mean it's pretty popular then I should go play it.

>tfw didnt care about it but now that it's out think it looks kind of fun

Sorry meant massive multi. Yeah its main selling point was online coop scenarios. A game where its online and not episodic would have been nice.

Rising 2 has huge potential, they don't have to worry about stepping on Kojima's toes anymore and can do whatever they want with the story.

Too bad nuPlatinum's shit

I didn't know pakis were that crucial to games' successes.

>.
It should have been no-online required. there, solved 50% of the problem

Konami isn't going to hire Platinum to make a game for them.

If you get Rising 2 it'll be made by Kojima's former team and it'll suck because they couldn't make the first Rising to begin with.

good, hope this hurts konami

I liked Let It Die so I'm pretty sure I'll like this.

Nice word play there. I like the part where you had to change one of the words and tenses for it to make sense

You mean 65th after it's first week.

>couldn't SURVIVE
WOOOOAAHHHHH
SALES THAT CAN KILL

Fuck that faglord recommended me it too

Konami wouldn't have bothered making it in that case. The online co-op is the main gimmick of this game. It's just not a very appealing gimmick, apparently.

yeah because people are stupid

El Ogro...

should have not focused on survival. they should have made it as Monster Hunter: Metal Gear, focused on hunting various metal gears and stuff. survival and crafting are very boring, specially in a co-op.

...

oh boy sure is fun to go around stabbing the same shitty zombies and spending the other part picking up random shit on the ground, HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY FAIL?!?

>Monster Hunter: Metal Gear, focused on hunting various metal gears and stuff.
So Peace Walker?

so it is basically fallout.

It's generic the game with a metal gear brand slapped on it.

WHoa is dunky literally OURGUY/?

I hear it has some really crucial online components which hurts the viability of pirating it.

yeah, except better. and include more metal gears and stuff like versus metal gears from the original, versus old metal gear bosses like the beasts from mgs4. and stuff like from other konami ips like snatchers, zone of enders, castlevania, contr and stuff. I mean they can handwave it like because "wormholes". go crazy.

if Survive was anything like that, I probably would've bought it despite hating Konami for killing Castlevania

The Beta and the release version have two completely different APP IDs. The full version was just added to the DB today.

I'm pretty confident the team would have been even more angry enough to purposefully sabotage it because they respect Kojima, given how one person left a special message in there.

Wait, hang on, $10 for a save slot isn't a feature?

Survives own Devs giving Konami shit in game:

>The screenshot, which was shared to Reddit, contains a list of operative codenames. All these names are those of various animals, including ‘Black Jackal’ and ‘Bloody Raven’ among others. But one eagle-eyed player noticed that those codenames hid a code of their own.

>As you can see, the names of the animals in those codenames spell out the phrase ‘KJP Forever’. KJP refers to Kojima Productions, the team founded by Hideo Kojima in 2005. At the bottom of the list, two further codenames, Bastard Yota’ and ‘Cunning Yuji’. Those refer to game designer Yota Tsutsumizaki, and producer Yuji Korekado, but are perhaps less well hidden than the other messages of insubordination.

No one left any special message. Why is this repeated in every thread. The order of the list isn't some sly gambit it's literally the order you find them in MGS:V, "KJP FOREVER" might have been assembled in MGS:V by Kojima as a cool thing for himself and they literally just copy pasted the list for the new game. That's it. There isn't a conspiracy. The game is just hot garbage.

Lol yeah ok fag

canteen recipe fucking where

>Sold a notable 85% less than MGSV did

Admittingly i'm sure the game also cost 85% less to make.

Just finished the game.

9/10. That shit was impressive.

tSo goodluck is canon to the main metal gear timeline right? but he is the only person who remember the event of Survive.

By the way, in the main timeline, most of the Survive characters are already dead.
Miranda was killed in the hospital, the captain and Reeve on MB, Dan probably killed himself since he is depressed (listen to him on base camp) and have no one to care about since the charon corps wasn't created...

It's good from the beginning, unless you're a literal retard who can't figure out how to get food and water. 4 hours in when you can start farming food and water stops being a problem and literal retards would be able to enjoy the game from then on.

was there a metal gear

MGS V did the same and no one complained then.

Since this is going to be a service most people myself included are not going to buy it in year 1.

>game that nobody asked for and nobody wanted with intrusive microstransactions sold poorly

>people doesn't realize it's only the names of the wandering MB soldier.

>being this poor

Yes, a Metal Gear Survived.

>literally gets btfo by a crytek game which had zero advertising and just came out of nowhere

cont.

P O S T G A M E C O N T E N T

Mate they coulda just made this a cash grab but there's fucking post game content.

Fucking Kojima actually got beat here holy shit.

boooo.

Games fun, anyone crying over microtransactions because of their favorite e-celeb faggot really dont realize none of the ones they know about or shown mean fuck all, the extra save slot is literally worthless, your main slot has infinite saves, no permanent choices. Loadout slots are worthless, it takes a few seconds to change items at base or in co-op, waste of money, shocked it even costs money.

Cosmetic shit like emotes are easily obtainable by just logging in a couple days a week with free SV

Explorer slots as of now are fucking useless, very few base members you find tend to do well as them, even at 30/30 which is the max right now, COULD be bullshit later on, so its a 50/50.

Gear storage, lol fucking useless, 1000 slots for storage items, it only counts as 1 per each unique item, you can have 1000000000000000 goat meat and it will count as 1.

Save slot while a bit useless like I said, this one is still undefendable bullshit, the rest I listed are fucking useless and anyone who buys them is seriously fucking braindead.

But the worst one? The one none of the faggot e-celebs touched because none of them actually played the game to warrant an actual review?

Post-Game base digging has a 12-24 hour per wave cooldown and that starts with or without you after the 1st wave(you have a base defense team and defense items) but its absolute bullshit because its either 110 for 12 hours instant wave, or 220 for 24 instant wave.

Really good shit is behind them, thankfully only 4 base digs exist. 1 and 2 super important, 3 rather shit rewards, dont know what 4 is.

All in all, the games not bad, and e-celebs are fucking disingenuous because they couldnt even play the game without crying wolf about random bullshit 2 hours in.

>survive

dont reply to reddit spacing poster

not reddit spacing if its split up for all separate info

If you're trying to compliment the game, you didn't do a very good job.

The worst microtransaction is base digging.

We don't have to. This game is selling like shit. It will kill itself and we don't have to lift a finger

absolutely

no, just posting facts, the games good, nothing special, would be a steal for $20.

You're absolutely right and this game will now slowly die away as a result of misinformation from Youtubers

If you think about it, they're actually all still alive, just trapped in another "dimension" of sorts until they can find a way out

i just want a castlevania remaster io collection pack on steam/ps4 and im done with konami and honestly they just are other than pes they have nothing

(and this is a good thing)

So Sup Forums is going to start singing it's praises tomorrow

It doesn't have the Kojima seal of quality
