Exactly. I will be voting with my wallet here. No matter what, I will not put up with this crap, same as microtransactions.
I know that you know this but I'll say it anyway, it makes 0 sense to compare speedruns to reported gameplay times from media. Both MGS3 and MGS4 were 10 hour games, easily, when including cut scenes. Yes, they were capable of being beat under 2 hours (minus cut scenes) just like how MGS:GZ is properly capable of being beat in 5 minutes (it was already posted ITT that Konami play testers did this but I'm not sure if it's serious or a joke).
Only applies if you're in the west. Japan gets it for the same price on all consoles. ($24 retail on current and last gen)
Oh trust me I am ready. Going to ride this franchise all the way to the ground.
If it was 4 hours I might have considered it. After all, I bought MGR for the full price and I was absolutely in love with the game, one of the best games of last year and certainly worth the price for the 4 hours (and small change) it offered.
But 2 hours? Gotta draw a line somewhere, might as well be right there.

You know, if you want to play the game because of the franchise but not support practices like publishers charging you $40 quid for a 2 hours
Supporting bad practices just because of the brand associated with it is just silly and will utterly damage the brand you like so much.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Proportionate to the budget, hype, and sales, MGS2 is the most ambitious personal game ever made.
Keep in mind though that he also used plenty of ideas from his team. Stuff like peeking around corners was not Kojima's idea.

The fuck is this bullshit? I am one night rental-ing the fuck out of this game.

all the people saying they not buying bought the MGS2 demo for full game price years back lol.
The game getting off the ground wasn't due to Kojima stifling development but rather the development team having no clear leadership or idea where to go. "How do we implement the slicing techniques?", "When should the story take place", and "What type of game should it be, stealth or action?" are basic questions that the development team never really figured out. They just floundered about for years.
Kimura fucked up.
C'mon now it's always easy to compare prices in isolation and feel upset. How upset are people outside NA that games are $60 vs whatever it is in their own countries? I'm sure there are many factors at play here that we have no idea about.
Was just about to post the same type of thing.

The game costs between 20 to 30 quid here. 2 hours for £20 is daylight robbery whichever way you slice it. Konami better watch out - they're in danger of hurting the brand with a borderline scam such as this.

What? Less than 2 hours now? Unless there is some amazing CE or steelbook case, I think I'm going to wait until it drops $10 - $15 dollars.

Just quit Kojima, I love MGS as much as you but am ok with seeing it milked to death as long as it means you get to create what you want to create. The best is yet to come.

Demos are usually free though.
Brutal.
ZOE was a pretty nice value add though.
I never rent anything or borrow, I like owning all my content. In terms of supporting bad practices for the brand I like I don't really care if the brand goes down a bad path. Good or bad however it plays out is interesting to me. Do not confuse my attitude with blind fanboy attitude. I am just as interested in bad entries in a series than with good ones.
In the end I want to experience what the content is day one with no other opinions in my head and judge it for what it is. Good or bad I am looking forward to my personal critique of the game.

All it's missing is the Ocelot narrated twist: "Yes...Mr. President."

I don't know what factors are at play here, but I'm not paying extra for current gen or because I'm in the US. I will rent the game for $3 and see everything it has to offer in a day. Or I'll just wait for the full game to come out and buy GZ used for $10.
That was the joke. I'm excited for MGS5, but I can do without GZ now (unless there is some amazing replay value).
Crap, I watched the whole thing; do I need to pay you $40 now?

No, thanks.
I love Metal Gear, but I will not be so blatantly ripped off for a video game.
Any bets on what the game will retail for around the time of the release of Phantom Pain? $10-$15?
Better yet, when Phantom Pain comes out, I bet we see a "Complete MGS5 bundle" with Ground Zeroes included for $70 or $80.
Or eeeeeeeeven another option is that some retailers might include Ground Zeroes at a discounted rate with a purchase of Phantom Pain.

I did for ZOE which I loved, demo was a bonus not the reason to buy it.
no, that's a quirk platinum included. under two hours is likely just that in this case.

no that's blind fanboyism and sheer foolishness.
You should avoid posting scans from the issue. Don't risk your account for this.

That's the thing really, unless you feel you'll replay this a great amount, which is a dead cert for me personally, it's totally understandable why most would choose to rent or borrow it rather than buy.
Experiencing something that is bad is just as valuable as experiencing something that is good. If you just arbitrarily limit yourself to the excellent pieces in any medium you are limiting your ability to have a wide and informed opinion.
95 cents cheaper than EB...

Bargain.
Can't make a new thread, can someone make one for me?
Apparently, The Phantom Pain is only coming to the PS4, XB1 ?!
Here is the information page about GZ and it says it's coming to PS3, X360, XB1 and P4
and more info in the article
However, in the TPP part it says coming only to PS4, Xbox One
More info, also only says it's coming to the new generation
Looking back, TPP was never shown running on PS3 or X360. Either on a PC or the new generation!
Edit: deleted the scan links, but you can see the magazine.
