MICROTRANSACTIONS!!!???? in a METAL GEAR GAME????

BY JENNA PITCHERThe competitive multiplayer component of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain known as Forward Operating Base may feature play-restricting microtransactions.

Forward Operating Base allows players to construct offshore fortresses aside from their main Mother Base. Players allocate resources and manpower acquired from the main game to defend these bases from online invaders or attack other players fortresses.

GameSpot discovered in its review process that in order to build their PVP bases, players may need to unlock space in the open water using in-game currency called MB coins. According to GameSpot, these MB Coins are purchased by using real-world money.

As no online features are testable right now, it is not currently clear if microtransactions to "purchase water" is optional, nor how much the "premium" currency costs. IGN reached out to Konami for further information and clarification about the microtransaction model, and will update this story with its response.

@Konami

I must be because I can't understand why every game feels the need to force a multiplayer mode..If we must have multiplayer why not just add co-op? Why is that so rare in games, like did a poll suggest people like deathmatch that much more than co-op? And why when they do have a co op it's separate mode with a shytty story and only like 1 hour of gameplay?

Honestly I believe videogame companies pay these big site reviewers under the table.

Zombi got a 7.3 whereas Zombi U the objectively better game got a 6.5 yeah they were different reviewers... but have some consistency IGN

Whats the point of the destination if you die in ALL endings??? What good was the journey???

looks like they sacrificed story for the sandbox style

This was my fear.

Don't get me wrong, games like The Witcher can do this but one of the things I liked about MGS is just how epic the flow of the game was when it was directed movie style. Those Beauty and The Beast battles in 4
