    Wow! Despite the controversy, I had very high expectations for this game. I'm a HUGE fan of Metal Gear V and the team who worked on Survive is made up of mostly the same people (minus Kojima of course). My expectations have been surpassed.

Despite the controversy, I had very high expectations for this game. I'm a HUGE fan of Metal Gear V and the team who worked on Survive is made up of mostly the same people (minus Kojima of course). My expectations have been surpassed. If you enjoy slow-paced, survival games, then you must try Survive. If you enjoy zombie games (even though these aren't techically zombies) then I highly recommend this game.

    There have been so many tense moments that have kept me immersed and entertained. Some might be frustrated by the constant need for food and water. It is far more forgiving than say "Don't Starve" or "The Long Dark", but scavenging and hunting for food and water are a key part of the gameplay so if that is not your thing, you might want to stear clear of Survive. Another source of tension is the "dust" which covers most of the games open world. You have limited oxygen which adds yet another challenge. Not to mention the possiblity of getting lost in the dust, or overrun by Wanderers. The games systems are plentiful and intricate and produce a great experience.

    The story is actually pretty darn good. In edition to a few good cutscense, "codec style" conversations as well as audio logs you find that can be listened to as you play (simular to MGSV). It's simple and leaves you alone for long periods of time in favor of focusing on gameplay, but the plot is well thought out. It has many referances to the Divine Comedy which is fun as well as some real-world conspiricies like the Philadelphia Experiment. My main complaint is the A.I. Virgel being deadpan and slow-talking.

    The co-op tower-defense mode is a complete change of pace. It is an absolute blast with friends! I'm uncertain of the replayability of it, but my friends and I played upwards of 14 hours in the beta on just 2 maps! The full game has quite a bit more so I'm willing to bet theres quite a bit of fun to still be had.

    Now the downside...The menus and controls. They aren't "terrible", but they take a LOT of getting used to. Particularly if you're on keyboard/mouse like myself. Do yourself a favor and use a controller. I've already adjusted and the percision of the mouse has its advantages, but Survive was obviously designed with controllers in mind.

    Overall, great game and amazing value at 40 bucks on release!    … Expand

    Pretty good game, unnecessary complex on some systems, like Healing (Remember Solid 3 healing system by the way), but when mastered, turn into a incredible fun game.

    Survive is Death Stranding, only blinds won't see it. Hating Survive = Hating Death Stranding.

    The game is fun. I haven’t spent 1cent in microtransactions. The begin is a little to harsh getting start and base going. but that is survival :p A few hours into it hunger and water is not an issue and you start to catch a survival flow.

As a consequence people who dislike Metal gear survive truly ARE silly boys- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Metal gear survives existential catchphrase “Silent hills cancelled” which itself is a cryptic reference to Konamis epic business decisions.

    Had a ton of fun playing the multiplayer beta. There are plenty of things to craft and use against the crystal head dudes, and teamwork is pretty satisfying.

    This survival/zombie/co-op genre isn't something new, but Metal Gear Survive brings us some refreshment to this formula.
    Also, the game's story mode is incredible.

    Survive may not be your typical metal gear game, but then, it doesn't claim to be. That's why it's called Metal Gear Survive, not Metal Gear Solid Survive. You can see a similar trend in Metal gear Rising:Revengance.

    you wouldn't call it a pokemon game in the same way you would call pokemon emerald a pokemon game.

    In the same way, Metal Gear Survive has stealth, infiltration, and what for some might be a satisfying story (more on that later), It is not fair to call it a main game in the Metal Gear series.
    Is it a good Metal Gear game? From the playtime i've experienced, (Both my own, and that of footage i've watched.) I'd say it is. It might not be what people would call a good Metal Gear SOLID game,
    but it uses the metal gear universe well, established history, iconic figures, and so forth.

    Food and water drain a little faster then i'd feel comfortable with (our guy must have one HELLUVA metabolism) but it puts the pressure on to _SURVIVE_

    Menus, though? Dear god the menus.
    For instance, the base building? To move the cursor around, you need to hold down control while you move the mouse. Just moving the mouse around itself ROTATES the camera.

    and the options are horrible.
    Dear god are the options horrible.
    Under 'sound' the only toggleable setting, indeed, the only setting AT ALL is if you want to have automatic voice chat or not.

    And it's 'Valid' or 'Invalid' as the options.

    The menus need work.

    Luckily, it doesn't detract from what I've enjoyed as a pretty solid game. I'm gonna be playing the hell outta it. The story seems decent enough so far, though I will say it's a DAMN good thing this isn't a Solid game, or I'd laugh at them.    … Expand

    Metal Gear Survive es un juego de supervivencia, exploración, desarrollo de bases y gestión de recursos en un contexto basado en la saga Metal Gear Solid, más concretamente en los sucesos que acontecen al final de ground zeroes.

    Para los que como yo pensaban que este juego iba a centrarse en el componente coperativo y que la campaña era solo un apoyo al verdadero plato principal, debo comentar que no podía estar más equivocado puesto que es totalmente al revés. Esto me reconforta bastante puesto que si a mi me gusta el juego no tengo que estar pendiente de que tenga una comunidad detrás jugándolo para disfrutar de él.

    Sinceramente, me parece un juego con buenas ideas y pequeños detalles que le otorgan una personalidad diferente y lo diferencian de todo el género de juegos survival que está lleno de mugre. El tema del oxígeno, las ruinas sin luz, el hecho de que tengamos que marcar nosotros mismos en el mapa las zonas donde conseguir recursos... Y eso que aún me quedan bastantes mecánicas por descubrir.

    Respecto a la historia, no puedo decir mucho aún, sigue el tono de la saga pese a tratarse de un spin-off, los fans encontrarán detalles divertidos. Desde luego pinta que al menos tendremos momentos espectaculares puesto que [MINISPOILERSUPERTONTO] de momento ya me he encontrado con una criatura titánica que ni si quiera cabía en la pantalla[MINISPOILERSUPERTONTO].

    En cierto modo, si por desgracia el juego no acaba destacando es sin duda por haber decidido enmarcarlo en la saga de Kojima. Personalmente opino que le hubiese ido mucho mejor como nueva ip puesto que como ya he comentado tiene ideas muy interesantes.

    Por cierto, todas esas personas que dicen que el juego es difícil es por que o no se han molestado en saber como funciona o por que simplemente no son muy buenos jugadores.

All I have seen through social media are people jumping back on the tired old dead bandwagon of hate that they more than likely know nothing about. Sure, you can read all the articles these social media pages push out for attention, but all you're reading is puffed up anger towards a video game company that gets the message. We get it, I get it, everyone gets it. You're mad at Konami because they fired Kojima over a disagreement. Whether that be an artistic or financial difference, that was up to them. It is over now.

    What's pathetic is these so called fans are creating accounts on here just to bash a game they don't even own. Konami owns the rights to the IP now, they stated it is a spin-off from the very start (so that the fans don't get their panties in a knot) and are trying to create something great with an engine that was excellent. if you don't like it, don't buy it. Move on. Your money speaks louder than you making fake accounts or posting on social media any chance you get just to get some attention no better than these desperate FB pages fishing for attention creating false circumstance.

    If you love him so much, be like Kojima. Just like he was able to move on and do something else with his life, you can do the same. Literally no one on this planet cares if you dislike the game especially on forums that are trying to link players who actually own the game together to have fun. Here's a news tip, Konami actually doesn't have Kojima locked up in a basement where they whip him all day and for every copy of Survive you buy, they whip him more. Also, people who worked on prior Metal Gears, Gradius, Castlevania, etc still are affiliated or work for Konami. When you sit there and bash the company every second you get (because you clearly have nothing else with your time) you're bashing people who put their heart out there and made something decent in the gaming industry for decades before you probably even knew they existed. Also, it may come as a shock to you, but Kojima was not the only person who made the Metal Gear games! Wow, could you have imagined that!? Yeah, he didn't create literally every aspect of every MG game! Sorry, I had to say that because people forget that it takes a TEAM of people to create a massive project like any of the MG's. Don't disrespect them and destroy their legacy because you treat Kojima, a guy who doesen't even know your name, like a god as if something like what happened between him and Konami has never happened before in the gaming industry.

    As for Survive itself? It's an excellent game. In terms of spin-off's for the MG series, it makes Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance look like Club Penguin. Survive does NOT play or feel like a typical zombie shooter (because y'know, you'd have to buy the game to know that), it is a desperate struggle for survival in an alternate dimension that actually feels and plays great. The sneaking factor is there more than ever, the game does not baby you through it, the story feels refreshing, the controls are excellent and smooth, the micro-transactions are completely irrelevant just like Phantom Pain only had them to boost time, the game was $20 cheaper than any normal retail game. What more could you want, the list goes on. Konami designed this game knowing that people were upset that they screwed up and tried to make it in the favor of the consumer entirely and it worked out very well.

    I know this is not a story written by Kojima and I respect it. They are not re-branding his legacy. Accept it and move on. Remember the series for what it was whether you like the new material or not. Be an adult, be a patriot and stop acting like children over a game. I expected this backlash over a game like Halo or COD, but seriously? Don't call yourself an MG fan if you have a hard time distinguishing the old from the new and every time you see a post about Survive you need a box of tissues and a diaper to make it through the day.    … Expand

Crafting? Survival? Touch of metal gear? Sounds good to me, despite all the bad reviews. However several missions in I'm ready to put this game on ebay. First off, it's NOT a metal gear game. Big boss escapes in the opening cutscene, and he is right to do so. There's no stealth. No memorising patrol routes. No ludicrous cold war plot. No lengthy cutscenes. Basically you're surviving on your own in a hostile world, to find a group of soldiers who went there earlier. Maybe if they arrive, with all their numbers and weapons and tech, and ended up dead, I would not have much of a chance on my own with nothing but the clothes I stand in? But I am sent anyway. So, the plot starts and straight away you are introduced to an annoying computer. No, make that two computers, making an annoying partnership. Always telling you what to do. I would rather Miller or some other metal gear character be guiding my path, not some tiresome AI. So straight away I am looking for food. I kill some sheep. And I refill my plastic water bottle with dirty water. Just so I can survive. Pretty basic stuff. Not only that, but as this is a "realistic game" I am having to eat and drink every 30 minutes, otherwise I will die. Just like real life. What a chore. Not only that, but I don't have any weapons, other than a pipe. Or maybe a machete. So off I go killing these zombies, sorry, wanderers, and harvesting their energy just like other, more interesting games. And later on I have to go into these areas that have a sandstorm, sorry dust, which I can't see in. And I need oxygen to survive in them. Otherwise I'll die. Oh, and I also have a stamina meter, which goes down ridiculously quickly. I can run for about 1 minute, as it's realistic. Just like real life. Here's me thinking life was a disappointment, all those childhood hopes and dreams and here I am trudging off to work everyday with a couple of days at the weekend off, getting drunk, just to remind myself that I am still alive. But still, real life is more fun than metal gear survive.

    In MGSV The Phantom Pain I arrived to the mission in a helicopter playing Wagner. I had buddies, the sexy sniper Quiet who could clear a whole base before I arrived. A useful dog. A mech that was ridiculously useful towards the end. Even a horse. I had a suit which allowed me skulls special abilties. I could invade other players' bases online. I roamed the map just for fun, taking out outposts and generally having great fun. I arrive back at motherbase and everyone saluted me, they were all pleased to see me. In short... I felt like a god.

    However, in metal gear survive I don't feel like a god. I feel the opposite, I feel like a homeless person. A bum. Someone scraping to survive. In the phantom pain my minimum loadout, the one I used to keep the loadout cost to a minimum for various missions where I am just grinding, is a luxury compared to what I have to fight with in metal gear survive. In metal gear survive I am literally scrabbling just to survive.

    Video games, like an other pleasurable medium such as films, books, music, etc, should be there to take us away from the mundanity of everyday life. They should be there to fill our hearts with hope, to remind us that sometimes, somewhere, someone great can arrive to turn the tired world on its head an make it a better place. As a famous German philosopher once wrote, they should make us feel like a "superman".

    Metal gear survive just feels like more of real life.    … Expand

    Believe the hate this game is BAD

    the game no one asked for has finally released and it's a boring game with elements that we've seen before in better games. It's just not fun to play.

    Graphics: with a powerful engine at their disposal you'd think the game would at Least look as good if not better than mgs5...you'd be wrong. The textures are bland and blurry, antialiaisng is a mess, and everything looks glossed over looking very plain and just unappealing to look at. Cutscenes are ok with some good camera angles but they pale in comparison to mgs5. Pretty disappointing graphics and effects.

    Story: the story tries to be deep and serious but it just comes off as cheesy and boring. Nothing that happened was interesting and I found myself eantintvto skip the boring scenes with these unappealing characters. Uninteresting story overall.

    Gameplay: it works... But it's just so damn boring. Everything you so in this game has been done in better games. Base building, weapon crafting, survival this and hunger elements, have all been seen before over and over again. In this game however they just drag down the experience and don't add anything new or exciting. Killing zombies isn't even that fun because their ai is stupid and they pose little threat. The gameplay works it's just tedious and boring

    Sound: some of the voicework is decent but the two ai bot voices are so monotone and slow it almost put me to sleep. Music is ok if forgettable and sound effects are decent. The worst is defintely the ai voicework though.

    Lasting appeal: if you like tedious and boring grinding than their is some content here but most people will be too frustrated and bored to even bother with this game

    Overall it's just not fun to play. Everything works and their aren't any technical issues but if it's a chore to play then what's the point? That's the games main problem not that it feels like a cheap cash grab on metal gear, not that it has where you have to pay $10 for extra save slots. No, it's the fact that the game is so damn boring and tedious to play.

    Funny thing is, even if this wasn't associated with MG franchise and was a new ip, it still would have sucked. This game tries to be a great zombie game, with crafting and base-building elements. But ultimately, it fails hard. The main problem is they transferred so many assets. It is literally MGS 5 w/ zombies. And the story is as generic as it gets.

    Is Metal Gear Survive worth it? Oh yeah, totally. Game of the Year. Honestly, I don’t know why you haven’t bought it yet! Death Stranding won’t be able to compete with this. Sarcasm aside, don’t buy this game, just don’t. Yeah, the environments and visuals are kind of neato and the feeling of helplessness certainly comes across, but it’s just a clusterf**k.

    Somewhat cynical and clearly a little low budget, it isn't always easy to pull for Survive. Thankfully, some of the best wave combat on PS4 saves the day. [Apr 2018, p.91]

    The whole existence of Metal Gear Survive closely resembles this of the Wanderers – the game’s zombies. With the story, characters and wit ripped out completely off it’s body, what remains is a lifeless yet standing shell of Metal Gear Solid V. The decent (and borrowed) survival mechanics barely keep this husk walking around aimlessly with no purpose whatsoever. Survive may not be a bad survival game, but the merciless grind required and lack of respect for gamers’ time are inexcusable.
