Metal Gear Survive will take 15 – 20 hours to beat, will have microtransactions
Tomorrow the open beta for Metal Gear Survive will start, and today several websites have published previews of the game. GameSpot spoke with Konami brand manager Jennifer Tsang, and she told the website that the campaign will take about 15 – 20 hours to play through.
Another thing that has been confirmed, unsurprisingly, are microtransactions. The game will feature a store where players can purchase virtual currency. These ‘SV Coins’ can be obtained through gameplay or by buying them with real money, and will give you temporary boosts. There are no further details on specific price points at this moment.

Considering MGSV:TPP and MGO3 had microtransactions, of course it’s unsurprising. From what I’ve gathered, everyone’s actually enjoying Survive. I guess we’ll see for ourselves soon.
Impressions from previews seem to be mixed, it looks like it will be an okay survival game (although there are better ones out there), but there isn’t really anything for Metal Gear fans.
Surprise, surprise…
IDK about that, the reports coming in have been that they are enjoying it for what it is – a spin-off; a byproduct … not the “ultimate survival experience”. Someone goes in with that mind set, man … they’ll be severely disappointed. For me, as a Metal Gear fan, there’s stealth. You know? Lol. Not really much else to it because it’s a subsidiary (there’s that too) of a franchise that I like.
The demo seemingly cuts out all the story besides what you get from playing
If micro-sh.t makes it easier to win anything over minimal kid’s setup, then …
I don’t really care about micro-sh.t as far as they keep away from true gaming skills.
I did not really inspected MGO3 in depth and truly hope all micro-sh.t was only aesthetics oriented…
I hope (for everybody) that Konami won’t ever pioneer crossing this red line.. Specially on this franchise..
It was crossed with FOB’s…………………>.>
FOB Insurance. ’nuff said. LOL
Aside security breach & cheats, this FOB insurance cr.p is also probably involved in the reason why we can’t eradicate nukes, btw..
Agreed, but the solo campaign was not really impacted. So yeah, it was already half-crossed..
But Survive’s solo mode seem somehow merged with online.
Publishers like Konami have to understand that differentiating kid’s gaming skills according to their wallet is immoral, obscene.
Games of such are closer to malware than video games to my eyes.
OT: Nintendo’s up to their nonsense again.

This does seem kinda neat, though. Not sure the price is worth it, but it’s a cool idea.
We need Solid Snake mini-game here with cardboard box for sure.
That explains some of their early NX patents.

Im hoping one of these days Nintendo ditches their dumb ideas and makes a real console. They had it right with the gamecube, idk what happened to them,
“A real console”
You mean the Switch? Of which this is an optional expansion/peripheral that doesn’t impact any of the other stuff they’re working on at all?
