http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/10/metal-gear-solid-5-the-phantom-pain-has-optional-microtransactions I don't plan on playing this anytime soon, but I'm still interested in the game and the series. MGS is one of those series that I've played a little of, but I still really liked it. I hope to buy MGS 3 on the 3DS if I can find a PAL copy that doesn't cost a heap, but that's besides the point. This game looks fantastic. So I was extremely dissapointed to hear that it will have microtransactions. I understand that games are getting more expensive to make, but c'mon... This isn't a shitty F2P mobile game. This is a highly anticipated blockbuster of a game. It's common knowledge that most games with microtransactions are shitty. But that is excusable because most of those games are free apps, and the only one that I've played that isn't total ass is Clash of Clans, but still... Microtransactions don't belong in expensive console games. If you need more money, up the price of the game by $15. Jeez. |

If it's added gameplay then GTFO, if it's just free skins or w/e that the graphics department have been working on in their free time then I don't really care.Pretty much stuff you can buy with real money when you already have the game. When done right you get games like League of Legends which is free and pretty much funded off pointless (but entertaining) micro-transactions for things like re-skins etc. |

Well as long as it doesn't change the direct gameplay of the main story I don't mind. |
