    The only good thing was the intention, but the execution was horrible. I just find it torture to play this for more than 3 hours, an extremely tiring, slow and repetitive game.

    This is offensive towards their customers as well as Kojima, who created metal gear's universe. Professional reviewers who gave a positive vote outed themselves as non trustworthy and corrupted news outlets.

    This game is a pile of crap I would avoid stepping on even if I want to stomp it. Weak storyline, re-used graphics assets, weak characters that I don't care about, weak gameplay, weak music, online only and microtransaction galore. Why should I pay money for a save slot? Are you kidding me?!?!?

    Убожество, а не игра. Это просто какая то первоапрельская шутка которая очень сильно затянулась. Конами превратился в кучу дымящегося коровьего дерьма.

    This should not exist, and was an attempt to keep the scraps of KONAMI's Kojima Productions alive after office warfare.

    Konami ruined the best thing they had going for it. If Kojima says he needs more money and more time, you give him more money and more time.

    I've been hooked on this the past few days! Can't believe I let you tubers put me off! The game is so fun! If you like fallout base building stuff and zombies this game is for you! I hope they bring out more content, but I highly doubt it given it's reception.

    What a bummer. As a fan of both MGS and sandbox survival, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of this title. Just picked it up for $10, and it’s not even worth that much. The opener to the game is so brutally slow and nonsensical, it’s like they don’t even want you to play it. Then the robots who narrate everything speak at a snail’s pace, so I’m sure most of the game’s runtime is justWhat a bummer.

Then the robots who narrate everything speak at a snail’s pace, so I’m sure most of the game’s runtime is just listening to them talk. Once you can actually play, the game is interesting for 30 minutes but then reveals itself to be a totally uninspired, repetitive, boring experience. I wasn’t even motivated to get into the base building, and I love that stuff.

    Also... for some reason the MGS world involves portals? And the enemies are a cross between zombies and unicorns that wind up being much more weird than scary? If they wanted to do MGS survival, the recipe seems pretty simple: make it like snake eater, a soldier lost in the forest surrounded by tribal enemies or even zombies. But a totally wacko sci-fi hell portal full of dust storms? I just don’t get any of it.    … Expand

    And yet another series I loved died painfully. Why, Konami? Why do I have to pay for save slots? Why is the game this repetitive? Why is the game THIS much of a bugfest? Why couldn't you be bothered to make some semi-functional AI in a AAA game released in 2018?

    I hope you're happy, Konami. You've successfully ruined Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Contra and your reputation. Conrats.

    i like this game. i understand why many people hate it, with the boring start but the boredom is far away once you get forward in the game. i feel like the first couple of hours is a tutorial for whats coming up. the game really gets fun later and i think that all these reviewers that think its boring only played the first hours. i like that the game is trying something different.

    i think it feels like they combined resident evil and snake eater. it might use the same engine as mgsVTPP but its more if they used the healing, hunting and eating from snake eater, used resident evil 4 or 5 combat and put it onto the fox engine because thats their latest engine. i agree that the thirst and hunger bar is kinda annoying but i let it pass because its survive and not solid. the combat is nice but sometimes feels BS because i poke em with the spear but i don't hit em and they hit me with their short arms and instantly hit me. i love the base builder and when i unlock something it feels like i actually earned it. i love how you have to think before taking action. like: am i gonna make this?, do i have the resources to do that? and is this the best way to do it? i remember that i used to run around swinging my shovel at the wanderers and hoping for the best. later i saw a big horde and decided to think before doing anything. i decided to try sneaking past and use bottles to distract them and it worked. this made me use my brain before doing anything. ask yourself these questions. not gonna lie but there are many bad things but they didn't hit me that hard. i hate the food and thirst and how fast it goes down but after getting the farms and hanging pot nothing was a big issue like at the beginning of the game. you start with nothing and have to drink dirty water and if u were lucky, find clean water. then gaining more and more til the point where food and water is not an issue anymore. the game is a zombie game where you start with nothing and grow stronger.

    remember that this is no metal gear solid game, this is metal gear survive. its a reason they didn't have solid in the name because it has something new to offer. that is why metal gear rising revengeance doesn't have solid in the name. because it has the sword battle which makes it feel like a brand new series. adding solid to the name would make original fans think that this is like the other games. removing solid form the name make it shine as its own thing while the others can stand solid.

    i think if you played the first hours and hated it then just play more and it will get fun. o think you should wait til the game goes on sale or just buy one cheap on the internet. i bought mine for 15$ and it came with dlc code and it was unopened. probably why i like it so much more because i got it cheap and it feels like i got what i paid for.    … Expand

    Solo es un juego mas donde lo mas interesante es poner una valla y golpear enemigos a traves de la valla
    Si le hubieran puesto otro nombre estaria mejor ya que en este juego ni sigilo ni accion ni nada que caracterisa un metal gear, el unico sigilo es no hacer ruido para evitar que esos bicho te escuchen pero ni eso puedes pasar como si nada.

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

    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.
