Ground Zeroes Gets an 8/10

We are. Just a ole line I like using from Jump Street.

LOL have you ever played an MGS game? They are NOT 60-70 hours of gametime at most 25-30 Also 4-5 hours is a short slice of an MGS game but it's about 20 times bigger than most demos.

I'm willing to admit $30 is too expensive but at $20 it's a solid title.

Also you're explaining what it was. MGS 5 was broken into two separate pieces also Kojima won't pull a main title MGS game it's silly to think that it's too big a title and there's a lot of hype around it regardless of how people view ground zeroes.

Its funny how cows were using metacritic scores for Titanfall some saying they prefer MC more rather than GS. It has a 75 on MC and I beat you cows will start ignoring it altogether.

Since when? The only ones that even came close to that were Peace Walker, and maybe Portable Ops.

Yeah looking forward to his take on it. He'll likely lambaste it for the length and price tag.

Better than I expected, still think I'm going to rent it.

I'm beginning to consider buying it now....anyone know what the download size is on PS4?

My friends, both are corrupt, no doubt. However due to the cumulative nature of metacritic, it is slightly less corrupt.

@Kaze_no_Mirai:

Around 3.6GB.

@Xaero_Gravity: Thanks, seems surprisingly small.

Konami had some money left to pay for reviews.

Can you guess which is the PS4 and which is the Xbox One?:

Yes for the picture of BB himself the top one is PS4 the bottom one is Xbox1

Yeah Buddy!! Gonna get it.

you're a special kind of stupid aren't you? Tell me how many 10/10 games there are here on Gamespot, you really think that's not an accomplishment? Would love to see Phantom Pain breaking the scale and getting an 11/10 though. What's next, the Godfather movies were mediocre? A Bugatti is no longer a fast car? Leonardio Da Vinci was a terrible painter?

Very much like a 60 year old wild mans inflated head placed on a females shoulders.

Strange.

Unbelievable. What a joke.

@vickissv2: Both top pictures are PS4. Do I get a prize?

@93BlackHawk93: yes its a glorified demo but he was talking about the gameplay not the length.

@vickissv2:

I know you're trying to do a blind test here, but the URL of the pictures indicate which platform they're on. :-/

That's some funny shit right there, for reals.

i guys the reviewers ps4s are starving also.

Not really a surprise, GS gave a 2-3 hour 'game' GOTY.

Descent score although it has around a 75 on metacritic but I'm not going be jackass about it and shove it in cows face

@CroidX:

It's a multiplatform game though, why would cows care?

No more complaining about overpriced DLC, or two hour walking simulators after today.

75? In the new rating value, that means it's Big Rigs.

Not suprised by this site giving it an 8 since they gave 4 a 10.

@Xaero_Gravity:

Titanfall was multiplat still didn't stop cows from posting Metacritic scores all over the place

@CroidX:

Touché.

None because all of those pictures are sub 720p unless they aren't direct screenshots or crappy screencaptures

No it doesn't, because games aren't reviewed the exact same every single year. Times change and standards change. Games are reviewed against their contemporaries

@BattleSpectre: You should play the games.

Honestly man, I'm in such a good mood about MGS5 right now that I don't even feel like discussing the bastard child of the series. lol @ those comparisons though.

Rejoice man, MGS is back!

If Peace Walker is the only game in the series you played, then yes.

None of the main games in the series are even close to that long and they don't have side missions either.

MGS games have always been known for high replay value, not for being long.

I can't find a PS4 copy anywhere. Of course there were Xbox One copies but why would I get the version with the fewer p's?

Haters gonna hate, after playing GZ I can't wait for Phantom Pain.

Have this game and an 8 is what I give it too. Keep in mind that Ground Zeroes is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V which comes out later, it's not supposed to be a full game. It's a short game, but with high replay value and you unlock new missions when you "beat it".

fewer p's? (Players?)

It almost makes the wait for Phantom Pain unbearable. Because that game is gonna be off the chain.

Been playing this most of the day and it really is quite good! I'm thoroughly enjoying the open-ended gameplay. The graphics are also eyeball sex!

Here's to you, Nicola and Bart.

The PS3 version looks amazing, considering the hardware.

lol'd

e.g. There is a dearth of writing talent amongst Gamespot editors.

He edited it to say wealth.

At the least this thread can be further proof of no one actually reads the fucking review. GOod score, good review....glaring fucking english fail.

I noticed that.

I seldom more than skim-read reviews here anyway, because of the tendency for most to be laden with spoilers.

Also, an "English fail" within the review is somewhat ironic, given the poor grammar exhibited in the game's title.

I think the game is average at best . Of course The Phantom Pain will be a lot better . The main mission can be completed in less than an hour , without speed runs . The mission itself was just OK at best . Gameplay animations are still stiff but facial expressions are great . Rough ground surfaces have better textures but the ones on walls are terrible (Xbox One version looks even worse) . Snake's voice was a bit distracting but we'll get used to it . Intro was great but other cutscenes were bit cheesy , full of average writing , bad animations here and there and last scene was very stupid ; Hands of a random person is shown , he opens her stomach , they get the bomb out of her body and she just stands up after few minutes . Not to mention incredibly bad camera placements during cutscenes .

The standards of scores varies widely among individuals. For me personally, if I get anything under about a 90% Test wise - grade wise anything under a 93% - I consider it bad or not very good.While 75% is suppose to be average if you have high achievers, average doesn't settle well with them. It also depends on where you are in your life, education, and what you want to do.

However, video games are on an entirely different grading spectrum in my opinion. The two ideas, school grades and video game scores, don't mesh.

The hype for Phantom Pain grows more.
