[@illegalonsunday6838]

Got the game when it was first released and I still play it 4 years later. I think it’s really fun. I wish there was more people playing online cause I enjoy the multiplayer missions. The game didn’t deserve all the hate it got. I don’t think people ever gave it a chance.

[@burgbass]

I felt the same. Was it defiling a much beloved game series? Yes very much so. Was it actually gutter trash like everybody said it was? No, personally I don’t think so. It’s nothing exceptional but most people that call it bad probably haven’t even played it and are understandably just mad that this is the direction the series ended on.

[@christiamcruz7454]

And i realize that guys like you dint even get to do the research of the deeper criticism that this atrocious game recieved in the first place to understand or you guys refuse to understand the hatred it got and having the **lls to call people that criticize it as "bs" so let me give you a little bit of an educational knowledge for you to have a brain to think before you start talking nonsense. Now in short First of all, this game was released not long after KONAMI (culprit developers) kick out hideo Kojima RED FLAG. Second, This was the first game developed under the leadership of the new CEO without Hideo Kojima's idea presented in the game and they wouldn't even aloud him to participate in 2015's game of the year awards because of this scandal related to KONAMI did you forgot about that as well you clown? THIRD, konami is one of the worst gaming companies in the industry for allowing their shaddy policies to allow abusive practices on their employees if they ever dare to criticize their business desicion not to mention they had multiple cameras inside their headquarters not to secure the safetyness of their employees but to MONITER them to make sure they dont do anything out of the companie's interest. Fourth, Turning their beloved franshises like Silent hill, contra, Castlevenia into their own disappointment of a bunch of spinnoff and Pachinko machines because of GREED easy money And last but not least This game had the audacity to charge mor%ns like you 10 dollars if you ever wanted to get a second save slot to play with another creative character and forcing you to be ALWAYS ONLINE even if you wanted to play it on solo. And why on God's green earth did this game had to be a survival game with zombies!? SO YEAH people aren't playing it anymore because it sucked, and i'm glad barely a small minority of people in the world aren't playing this atrocious "Cash grab" because in comparison to the OUTSTANDING Phantom Pain, only less than 250,000 copies we're sold from MTSurvive while Phantom Pain reach over the 5 millions sold worldwide and in the Eyes of KONAMI they even said that Metal Gear: Survive was considered as a DISAPPOINTMENT, it was a BOMB in Konami's finances. So the next time you have the nerve to tells us that have a common sense to make a proper desicion on not investing money on a product that DOESN'T deserve the money invest it in that were talking "bs" for having reasonable critics regarding on a game like this is disingenuous and disgusting to say the least. I would suggest you to next time shutT ** up and think before you start spitting nonsense like this so DO your homework and research on a topic before you go in on a disastrous take like this. 🖕😏

Im one of those few players online in MG-Survive. This game is so slept on! Those reviewers that gave this game bad reviews did not get pass the first few objectives within the game. Yes the weapons at first seem dull and nearly impossible to complete missions at first, but as you progress the survival aspect just depletes later on the more different weapons and gear you find. So happy that there's actually somebody out there telling the truth on how fun this game really is.

Props to you for making this video so well and easy to understand and for calling out the reviewers too, I hope you don't face backlash

[@Hosenbund1]

exactly my story for this game too! but yesterday i picked it up and its fun and kinda unique the marketing on this game really failed hard. this is no game for people which wanted another metal gear game. i also watched trailers back then.. and none of them really showed what the game truly is... i simply believe it got marketed to the wrong playerbase.

[@ikeaira8701]

Ty, finally a fucking honest review on the game taking into account of EVERYTHING. I've had heated debates about this over the years with fellow MGS fans, and it's just so refreshing to hear from someone who actually looked beyond the pure unadulterated hate. I seriously wish people would give this game another try, there is a community here, and we welcome everyone willing to give it a fair shot! I do love Kojima for the work he did do & has done. But I won't put him on a pedestal that he, and only he created these games & franchise. He may have spawned it(sorta) but the franchise grew beyond his own boundaries. Ty for also calling out these specific "reviewers" and their extremely hyperbolic reviews, because I watched them myself and couldn't help but damn near lose it back then lol Because it was so obvious they didn't bother with the game at all, or try to understand it. Just flat out lying because of the mob mentality wanting to "Stand up for Kojima" when he did not deserve to be stood up for imho, because Both Kojima and Konami were in the wrong and imo Kojima more so for wasting Time & Money on meaningless bs just to "Show off." Then proceeded to go behind Konami's back to make P.T. when he should of been working on MGSV. If there's anyone to blame for MGSV being incomplete, it's entirely Kojima's fault.

[@illegalonsunday6838]

I agree 100% with everything you said. I went through everything you described. I would see all the hate reviews and get so annoyed. The game was never given a fair chance. It’s nice too see someone else that doesn’t immediately put kojima on a pedestal. I like him, but I can why konami wanted to cut ties with him. Always over budget and late to release. I love MGS as I’m sure you do. It’s frustrating because I would love a new MGS, not a remake. Unfortunately I don’t know if they will ever happen because most MGS fans won’t give it s chance. Honestly having different people work on it could bring some new ideas. I mean I like Kojima, but I’m an MGS fan, not a Kojima fan. I really enjoyed reading your comment because you said what I’ve been saying and thinking for so long. It’s nice seeing I’m not the only MGS fan that not a hardcore kojima fanboy too. I still play survive online. If you ever wanna play hit me up.

[@crystalwings4520]

@@illegalonsunday6838 All these Kojima dick-riders (not you guys) really went on my nerves everytime they said 'this franchise will never come back without him' or 'this game (probably all spin-offs) is bad because he's not directing it.' Like, geez, those people needs to understand that Kojima even wanted to gave his staffs a chance to create a MG game without his involvement. This game unfortunately was overshadowed by those controversies (even that also applies to Phantom Pain) Now he's in a better place, create a game he wanted, and they should let go of everything behind. I remember how he thanked Konami for letting him to create MG series. And remember that Konami is not the only company who treated their staffs badly, it's something uncommon (?) in Japan, I am afraid.

I'm going to be completely honest, I do agree with basically everything you said and I loved the video, however, the main problem with metal gear survive (from a marketing point of view) is the metal gear...

[@nestube44]

[@viper1724]

great review of the game! I recently rebought it on steam after originally playing on PS4. one thing I will comment on that you addressed about the SV coins (and there's a possibility I could be wrong here)... I don't think SV coins were given out as login bonuses in the beginning. I played Survive quite a bit on PS4 at launch and I don't recall getting coins. but I recently got them while replaying on PC. so I wonder if handing out SV coins was further into post launch. either way, I agree that while the game isn't perfect, it was a great use of the assets and has fun moments of gameplay!

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

I do wonder if Metal Gear Survive (and Death Stranding) is a repurposed takes on the Silent Hills game they were going to do. A version of Silent Hills as a Metal Gear game because it allowed them to reuse the maps from Metal Gear Solid 5. One of the big inspirations on Silent Hill was Stephen King’s The Mist, and Survive is practically a Mist video game. Even something like the whole military aspect, which could be seen as a concession to fit the Metal Gear series falls in line with the whole Arrowhead Project aspect of The Mist, and the very strong hint that the Lovecraftian monsters attacking the town in The Mist came from a military experience with trans-dimensional portal technology...this is Half-Life and Stranger Things too. Survive is like a game about the Arrowhead Project where you’re going to the other side. It’s easy to imagine it as a Silent Hill game, where instead of reused MGSV maps your in a different dimensions version of Silent Hill and trying to survive. That’s something I found so funny about the knee-jerk reaction to this game. Because at a certain point it started to become pretty clear both this game and Death Stranding were probably takes on things they were kicking around for Silent Hills. And yeah, the negative reaction to zombies in this game right after MGSV had zombies, just because of what Kojima said, was an oddly brain dead reaction. Like I saw some people point out that the negative reaction didn’t make any sense given previously Metal Gear games already had zombies, but most people just rolled with it because of what was going on between Kojima and Konami at the time. And also the gameplay, MGSV had fantastic gameplay, and this still had that core game at the core of it. Like even with its problems, because of what it was building off of, Survive still feels better to play than the majority of other third person shooters.

[@darianalexander5503]

I remember when this game came out. I really wasn't an MGS fan back then. I just remember how much hate Konami was getting at the time. I've since played through most of the games in the series.

[@dars5229]

One of the most fun games I've ever played. Glad I ignored the schmucks. It's a fantastic showcase of what the Fox engine can do when not held back by previous gen hardware. Things like the base defense and customizing layouts was stuff that was supposed to be in MGSV anyway,. The Lord of Dust is one of the few times I've been awestruck by a video game, wondering just how the hell I'm supposed to beat that.

I'm genuinely happy you brought to light what the game is all about, even though I felt conflicted at first. Reviewers need to be checked, for sure. But still, at the end of the day, it just doesn't feel like authentic metal gear. That's my problem with it. Releasing after MGSV did not do this game any favors. Dunkey did say that even if this game was good, fans would hate it. He wasn't wrong about that. To me, this game has the engine of MGSV, but none of the characters and none of the story. It'll always be viewed as a failure.

[@adamdrexler]

Wow, I loved this video. I got this game because I just couldn’t get into Metal Gear 5, Previous Metal Gears had never really been that fun for me, I don’t know why. I loved the way the game felt in 5 so when they announced “Survive” I was really interested because it refocuses all the mechanics I liked about 5 but puts them in a game that I can go at my own pace, explore, and honestly there were soo many times in this game where I was panicking because it has nail biting moments. Definitely not the best game ever, but I really did enjoy my time in it, and I always felt a little sad that my friends never took a chance on it, because I actually really enjoyed the co op missions too. Thank you for making this video!

[@janethewolf3758]

So I started playing Survive since a while, doing themed run of my own characters from one of my stories for different play styles and I still like it I love the concept of an open-world zombie type survival game and I think Survive does it better than some games I see It keeps the mechanics relatively simple, but still asks you to manage yourself properly in order to give the feeling of what a survival situation like this should feel like And since it adds to some mechanics that TPP had, it feels like part of that game, yet still give enough to be its own game It's just a shame that there is so much hate for it and that when I attempt at another salvage mission, I have to do it on my own with whatever resources I have Wish that the co-op had at least someone to play together with, but so far I can s-rank some hard mode levels (if I manage to get back soon enough after having a battle to the death with a devastator) And the unknown area's keep feeling rather tempting to want to explore in just because of the roads leading into it while being either blocked off or kill you within seconds

[@atlas3818]

I just finished it today, I actually loved it. I wouldn't say the story was a master piece but I actually loved playing it. And after all this time I'd honestly say I prefer it to MGS 5... if not strictly due to the coop in the game. I cant deny that neither game hits the mark like peace walker did for me, I will always dream of peace walker remade in the fox engine

[@hentaiman6100]

I will admit that the spontaneous hate by videogamedunkey & angryjoe skewed my expectations on the game but when I became invested in the Metal Gear franchise, I couldn’t just leave it be. The game has many shortcomings but the later unlocked gear that was never shown by the previously mentioned KZbinrs who only played for an hour at most. The special events in multiplayer with cosmetics that you can only earn by playing the game kept me interested whether that be Big Boss’s sneaking fatigues from MGS3 or Raider’s cyborg suit from MGS4. And the added defenses such as the Shagohod, Gecko, and even Metal Gear Ray & Rex made multiplayer matches more engaging. Though the introduction will and likely threw off many new players with the repeatability of attacking the wanderers but unlocking firearms, special weapons, and items/usables really allows many to approach combat in their way. A flawed but not terrible game. I give it an honest 6-7 out of 10. Great review btw.

Yeah, I stopped taking their opinions too seriously. Either they convinced themself the game would be bad or straight up lying to appease their fans

Which are the ones you fight the most. Yes, they don't work on the special infected. But you don't have to worry about them too much.

I played up until I got the Angola Africa reigon on ps4 before moving to PC had a bit of fun but id still say the game was bad on a management side of things dispite this I still had fun and am gonna try to get a PC copy I think this game would benefit from a sequel with a larger budget and less micromanaging from the company side of things

4:32 which Game is this ?

[@divyad1451]

Awesome video once again LOWE! every time you post I instantly click!

[@Neethan3247]

I don't care what people say, MGSV was not unfinished, or at least, not like how you described it. I just beat game's main story and did about 40% of the side missions, clocking in at about 100 hours. I skipped the repeat missions and made it through all the tapes. Coming from a fan of the games since the very first one for the ps1, MGSV is not only one of the best video game experiences, but it's probably my favorite MGS game, maybe second to 3. That ending, as well as Quiet's, was chef's kiss and, despite not being that big of a fan of the audio tapes, I wouldn't change this game for the world as it felt like a very complete experience that answered most questions.

This is the most honest video on KZbin and I love it. Everything you said is exactly what I feel. 100%

[@MrLegeth]

Very good review , keep up the good work.

[@stealthactionremasteredsar7936]

This game went through so much dumb hate for no reason. I loved this game since the day I bought it on Xbox years ago.

[@digimonrockers6732]

Anyone that want to play this. Big Tip: You can do some of the Online Coop solo and must of the easy with really not that bad with a bit stuff from SP

[@m0rtred]

Thank you and well done excellent video. I wasn't sure if i would enjoy the game or if it's even worth trying it but not anymore!

[@NotSoBentSpoon]

Survive might be more bearable if the needs system wasn't draining the player character so fast, that alone gave even more bad impressions, aside from the 'Kojima vs. Konami' fiasco when Survive came out.

[@johnd6006]

It wasn't a bad game I picked it up pretty cheap and I some what enjoyed, my biggest problem I felt like the was a huge difficulty spike that came out of nowhere and I could never get passed so I stopped playing it

[@NewRetroLetsPlays]

I actually enjoyed Metal Gear Survive. If they made the single player longer like adding a final chapter after you destroy the Lord Of Dust where the captain and co find their way home. It could take place in the rest of the Africa map that goes beyond the road leading away from the mansion and the valley, past where the death barrier is.

[@Frank_Jaeger330]

It had Low Sales & konami hasn't updated it since 2018 And had a ton of cut content.

[@kirbles2035]

Probably won't play this game as I tend to hate open world survival games with crafting as a genre. But I must commend you for how concisely you criticized other reviewers.

[@rodericksgamingchannel2914]

Thanks for the video bro I been playing MGS since the ps1

[@DollarinoJones]

Hey man, good video. Would've subscribed if you made content that wasn't about one, specific game that couldn't be less my thing! Oh, well, this was still fun.

[@cozzy4447]

The thing that insta killed this game was putting the METAL GEAR name on it. while it's no MG and not a fantastic game overall it's actually better than alot of people think.

[@taskforcekillah9722]

Ehh what about metal gear rising? That was also not a true "MG" title but still great nonetheless

[@thisguyyoudontknow4653]

Lol I found the video on accident while while trying to find something to listen to while I grind stuff out on Metal Gear Survive. Nice.

[@pinguswalk]

this reminded me how much fun I had playing it on release. think I'm gonna have to play it again now.

[@Eightminusfive]

I’m not ashamed to say I love this game

[@praktheobvious3372]

count me in

[@dvdbox360]

konami: mgs 3 remake coming soon

[@fanzo9479]

I don't even like Metal Gear Survive but after watching this video, that makes me wanna get one.

[@TevyaSmolka]

i am glad you enjoyed metal gear survive more then i did

[@dazerrazer3018]

this video was top tier, i subbed for this top notch content.

[@KennyLeGreat]

I think you convinced me to try survive

[@AvaaSlays_Swiftie]

Awesome look back at Kojima worshippers. Yeah zombies is what crosses the line when the puppet soldiers get a pass because the name they have. I almost forgot I was playing an mgs game during all that with the parasite.

[@itsddashrock]

Honestly I had a great time with Survive because at the end of the day the FOX engine was legit and it was fun to see and use different assets. The story wasn't bad either. The online was fun too.. all in all a good experience.. never listen to the haters and enjoy something for yourself and I'm the biggest MGS fan on the planet.

[@PROPHYZ]

had a blast with this game and still do from time to time, I did app. it !
