Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

MGSV: Ground Zeroes acts as a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and takes place one year after the events of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Assuming control of the legendary Snake (a.k.a. Big Boss), players are charged with the infiltration of Camp Omega where both Paz and Chico are held. The hostages hold key information concerning Snake and his private military organisation that Snake and his ally Kaz Miller must prevent from being exposed. Ground Zeroes charts the rescue and the subsequent fallout that leads into the beginning of the The Phantom Pain. Ground Zeroes also acts as a bridge between previous Metal Gear Solid titles, easing players into the vaunted open world of MGSV.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

In the aftermath of the events of Ground Zeroes and the destruction of Mother Base, MSF's base of operations, Big Boss falls into a coma. Nine years later, he awakens and forms a new mercenary group, the Diamond Dogs. Now assuming the codename "Punished Snake", he ventures into Afghanistan during the Soviet war to track down the men responsible for MSF's destruction. Along the way, he becomes reacquainted with his former rival Ocelot and encounters a unit of warriors robbed of their past, present and future. While he and Kazuhira "Kaz" Miller are initially driven to exact revenge, Snake soon unearths a plot by the Cipher organization to develop a weapon with the potential to surpass even the Metal Gear system, and his mission quickly switches focus to ending the threat once and for all.

That doesn't make any sense considering there are a few downloadable PSN titles that have platinums.

A lack of Platinum looks like the least of this game/demos troubles.

That might be because they're the older games IE Flower, Soundshapes and so on already had them.

Don't Starve, Warframe, Contrast and Resogun don't have platinums

seriously why the fu%k are people even hyped for this demo? it has been proven it can be completed in 20min so why waste your money on it. konami are going to bundle it in the special edition of phantom pain for $5 extra anyway.

It's not a full game so i don't see any problem with that. It would be the simplest Platinum you could get.

Guacamelee got a platinum trophy. Are you sure it has to do with the price of the game rather than the number of trophies in it?

Lone Survivor: Director's Cut came out this the fall on the PS3, is around 4 hours long, and has a platinum.

They've either just changed the policy or the requirements are all over the place.

I'd be one to vouch. Trophies/Achievements can add a layer of not necessarily depth but a kinda active challenge system most games don't have. Trophies/Achievements can be fun challenging encourage you to play modes you may not have in the first place and kinda scratch every top level surface of the game and sometimes deeper (really depends on the game) . It also adds an incentive for you to go back at times if you do enjoy the score/trophy stuff or if you wanna do something different in the game.

I played through the game a couple times this weekend and it's definitely worth the $30. There are multiple missions to complete and can be done in a variety of ways and at various difficulties. It is also worth 1000 achievement points, for the 5 people out there that care.

I also have it on X1 and to be honest , the " graphics comparison" video released by Konami was absolutely biased towards the PS4. The texture detail and quality is the same as the PS4's as well as the frame rate. Hair looks like Jaggies R' US at certain points though.

I actually thought about platting the game becuase I knew I would've tried to complete everything and keep occupied.

Well regardless it doesn't stop the trophies from being there and adding the extra playtime and forcing you to do things outside of the main missions.

Here's the Trophy list if you wanna drop it in your link OP

Hopefully once the embargo officially lifts we'll get some reviews that actually discuss gameplay and mechanics, rather than whine about the game being a "$30 demo."

If previews and testimonials are to be trusted, there are many $60 games with less content that have been critically acclaimed.

Exactly. Hopefully we get at least a few reviews before the games release date.

It's definitely more than a demo, but less than the average game. I got a good 7 hours out of it so far ( in between titanfall sessions ) and I'm only 23% through all that it has to offered. I actually wish there was more story and dialog. The graphics can not be understated and therefore would be a must have for next gen console owners starving for something to play that looks fantastic.

Agreed. I don't understand how a buddy who grew up in the Bronx has been a Red Sox fan for life. I still felt happy for him, when they finally won the series.

Where is this game on it's meta score so far?

.....

never mind just checked, it's sitting at 7.5 right now. Sounds about right for what this game is. Both GS and IGN rated this game a letter grade too high.

It improves the mechanics of gameplay from MGS4 even further (which were already free of flaws), story and as well as voice acting has been refined, which is a very nice, new surprise coming from Kojima.

Will get it once I get my Quad.
