>"Let's just not include the ending in the final game of the series. :DDD"
What were they thinking!?
Was one more fucking mission really too much to ask for? The game made more than double of its cost in the first 24 hours. Did they really have shit all over the legacy of the series just to save a bit of money?
Holy fuck, I know it's been a long time, but I just can't get over this. I will literally never ever not be mad about this.
I didnt like the game enough the finish it. Dropped it at mission 25. Explain this to me.
>>343537439
Don't post in this thread or on this board ever again.
>>343537439
They left out the final mission and the true end. Now Eli (Liquid Snake) and Psycho Mantis Jr. steal the most advanced weapon in the world just before the game ends and live happily ever after apparently.
>>343536898
>one mission
Nigger it was a whole new land mass with unique assets and a battle that would have taken place across all of it, not just a recycled battle from chapter 50
This mission getting cut pissed me off more than the parasites, XOF, or the plot twist.
>>343537838
Same, and that says a lot, because all these things pissed me off tremendously.

>You never went NUCLEAR
>>343537565
I will not listen to you. MGSV was shit and you know it.
>>343536898
It's not the final game though, MGS has a kickass pachinko game coming out.

You mean bravo Konami. They wouldn't let him finish the fucking thing. They wanted to quit making games and make pachinko machines.
>>343539190

Twabptbh
>>343539190
I actually agree with Konami on this one. If some ass-bang came up to me after 5 years and tens of millions of my dollars and said "hey, I just finished chapter 1! Can I have more money?", I'd probably can him, too.

Alrighty then. Guess I'm essentially Satan himself now.
>>343536898
>What were they thinking!?
"Video games are too expensive. Let's make pachinko machines instead."
I wild instead say why the fuck not cut the scene with eli escaping and mantis taking the virus. Literally all you had to do is delete that shit and you would have a game without ending go to in with a meh ending
I remember the day me and a buddy heard about MGS GZ and TPP. We speculated about all the cool things that could happen. Both of us were pretty sure the last 4th of the game would mimic the original MG from a different perspecitve and would reach it's epitome with a Big Boss vs young Solid Snake boss battle so that the series would come full circle. Oh how wrong we were.
>>343536898
>Mfw Sony think they've struck gold with Kojima but they've actually only acquired another Last Guardian that will be stuck in development hell until the producers take over the whole thing and force it to be finished and it ends up as a half finished product
>>343542281
Or, maybe, it actually takes time to make top tier games.
>>343536898
>What were they thinking!?
it's not cannon and it's plot wise pointless.
>>343542281
>>343542608
Maybe a careless visionary who can't organize a functional timetable or schedule and a group of detached, ignorant, greed driven businessmen were a bad match from the get go? If Konami didn't push forward for a completed game, Kojima would have taken several more years.
They're all hacks who can't understand concessions are needed to make a good game on time.
>>343542915
He made nine or ten other games just fine. I don't think anyone expected him to waste half a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars on making half a game because he was too busy modeling his stupid prostitute waifu.
>>343539427
>Get 100% of the game
>Only nuke achievement left
>It takes 24 hours ingame or something like that.
I speedhacked the shit out of it in 15 min
>>343539369
>tens of millions
You have no idea how expensive it is to make video games these days. Especially when you're working with FIVE SKUs.
MGS5 cost 80 million, MGS4 cost 40; both of which includes the marketing budget
In comparison to western games they're incredibly cheap to make.
Hell, Destiny was 300 million freaking dollars.
>>343543540
GTAV cost 500+m to make.
>>343543540
All I'm saying is it could have been game of the century if they just let him finish the fucking thing.
>>343544049
I agree. MGS5 not being fully completed is probably the most butthurt I've been over a piece of entertainment ever.
>>343544049
Which century are you thinking of?
>>343544197
Same here. I'm 30 and have been gaming since I'm 6. Nothing comes even close.
That being said MGS is probably the series I was most mentally invested in.
>>343544265
DELETE THIS
MGSV was so bad it made me retroactively hate the series.
>he doesn't kill him because he's a kid
Fucking gay. What was hideo and kojima thinking
>>343542608
Yes, but publisers can deal with times. What they can't deal with it delays, incompetence and poor direction.
>>343537439
>I didnt like the game enough the finish it.
Are you Kojima?
>>343544674
I'm not saying Kojima is innocent, but my gut feeling tells me that Konami fucked with his vision which also led to delays.
>>343544602
Kojima soured Hideo with his shit opinions yet again.
>Post YFW nuclear disarmament happens and the rest of this fucking mess of a game is released
>>343545421
Here you go. No, I didn't forget my image, I don't need to post one because this will never ever happen.
>>343536898
Konami
>>343545564
Be surprised then.
>>343536898
Konami wanted to move to the Pachinko machines business as soon as possible.
>>343537439
The game was like half done and execs at Konami said to improvise a deep and meaningful Skullface conversation and just ship it without doing the second half of the game.

If people can dig up a special cutscene for removing every nuke in the game then they can find out of there is any extra content locked behind that. And there isnt.
>>343545980
Recent dataminers have found some very interesting stuff that hint that's not the case
>>343545980
lol it will obvious lee be downloaded
>>343543836
I doubt it. Either way Rockstar is operating in a whole different realm to everyone else. They would have made a profit before the game was even released for sure.
>>343542608
He had plenty of time and resources
>>343539369
They made huge money with a glaringly unfinsihed game, how idiotic are they not to give him more money and time to further increase that amount?
They have worked with him for decades and this is unlikely to be the first time he went over budget or time, yet they elected to not give in this time, when they were at the moment of the greatest konami game launch ever, released for the largest public ever, having to that point generated the biggest hype ever.
They do not understand their business. Or they don´t care.
>>343543836
GTAV is pretty much the best, most detailed and functional open world game though. It's a herculean feat of software engineering and Rockstar made proper use of its small army of staff.
>>343543540
>Destiny was 300 million freaking dollars
Didn't they get half a billion?
>>343536898
lmfao you dip a game's objective isn't to fucking break even
only making back double of their investment is a fucking disgrace for Konami
>>343547354
>They made huge money with a glaringly unfinsihed game
Got a source for that?
>yet they elected to not give in this time
Because you can only tolerate his bullshit for so long
>>343548236
>According to a new Adobe Digital Index report, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain made $179 million worldwide on its first day on sale. That’s over twice as much as Avengers: Age of Ultron’s opening day box office earnings.
>The number represents revenue, but it’s not clear if it’s taking into account digital sales. It is still a huge amount, considering the different in production budgets between the two – $250 million for Age of Ultron and $80 million for The Phantom Pain.
Google is your friend.
>>343549590
They made 1.4 billion with Age of Ultron.
See how they only made a little more than twice their money back with MGSV?
It doesn't matter if you spend 250 mil on that movie if you make back that much more, spending money on video games instead of pachinko machines is like throwing your money out the fucking window
>>343549590
>sold a lot on lauch
Of course it did. Everyone THOUGHT IT WAS DONE!
>>343549590
>80 million budget
I don't believe it
>>343543540
Let me rephrase that: tens of millions of my dollars on a new engine let alone the rest of the associated costs
>>343539427
You can get rid of the big horn it just takes hours. I did it. Took days to get rid of it.
>>343550239
its been confirmed like a half dozen times.
>>343536898
Did you forget MGSV was a 360 and PS3 title aswell OP?
They most likely cut the final fight with Eli because it was going to include all of Diamond Dogs helping out and last gen consoles couldn't handle it.
>>343539557
>>343551930
bullshit it´s one or two more maps and a cinematic, hundreds of games have been delivered complete like God Of War or Assasins Creed. Konami fucked up and you know it
>>343552168
Konami didn't do shit.
Kojimbo wasted budget and time on bullshit instead of making a competent game and you know it, he's the only one at fault here
Serious talk.
If Konami came out and said something to the effect of;
>Listen up guys, we've actually got the rest of the finished game ready to deploy with a shit ton of singleplayer content and an actual satisfactory ending to the game, and it will unlock and download the attosecond that all the nukes are disarmed on FOBs
how long do you think it would take to reach 0?
>>343544769
>>343552781
how is this serious talk? but not long i think. most would unite, a few oh so funny trolls aside. and BOOM 2 weeks at most, since every game owner must learn about this somehow, even if he dropped the game already. lik everybody i think
