Much as I enjoyed the beta’s albeit meager offering of ‘salvage missions’ to begin with (once I’d got my head around the game’s bewildering array of systems and menu screens, that is), it wasn’t long before that initial excitement wore off and the experience became a tedious slog.
Having played a fair few hours of the recent Metal Gear Survive open beta, however, I have to say, my sympathy is waning. And I’m certainly not condoning Konami’s allegedly appalling treatment of its former employees.įor all their mistakes and putative misdemeanors, however, it’s still somewhat tragic to witness a developer that’s provided countless gamers with so many happy memories over the years, fall so far from grace in the eyes of its fans and struggle to escape from the mire of controversy in which it finds itself all while it attempts to move on from the acrimonious departure of auteur Hideo Kojima and take the series forward. I’m no less disappointed than anyone else by the series’ jarring shift away from the relentlessly original, narrative-driven, stealth-action of the past towards the hackneyed zombie survival genre. I must admit, I feel kind of bad for Konami.
