澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metal Gear Survive exists in a strange state of affairs. Given that Konami are viewed with contempt by a vocal online audience following their split with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima over 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询༺:Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, the publisher's upcoming spin-off finds itself trying to find a following ▨amongst a tough crowd. 

Recent matters haven't helped, either. This weekend's beta was met with a mixed reception and, in an , Konཧami also revealed that Metal Gear Survive has an alw⛄ays online requirement and micro-transactions that can boost a player's XP in-game.

Always-online DRM has never exactly been a crowd-pleaser of a feature amongst the gaming community (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft famously u-turned on the idea for the Xbox One after it kicked up such a huge fuss from press and players alike), but Konami has tried to🔯 justify its decision by explaining that the requirement allows for a more seamless experience between singleplayer and multiplayer. 

Still, Producer Yuji Korekado did confirm in an interview with our very own sister publication, , that "there will not be loot boxes, and there will not be Pay-to-Win 🔯types of microt🌸ransactions" in Metal Gear Survive.

Whatever the reasoning, this news has only added mo💙re fuel to the fire, and Metal Gear fans have already expressed their grievances online, as exemplified by the choice tweets below. 

Metal Gear Survive isn't the only recent example of a publisher employing online DRM requirements into its titles, at least on PC. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gears of War 4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:For Honor, and even DOOM have DRM criteria in some form or another, but those games weren't fighting an uphill battle in the wake of high profile industry scandal to which they were intrinsic🧸ally associated with. Short of Hideo Kojima returning to helm Metal Gear Survive and calling it , Konami were always facing a struggle to convince some lapsed MGS fans.

But all this negative hoo-ha isn't🎀 to say that none have taken t♕o Metal Gear Survive's unusual transition from stealth action experience to co-op survival romp. In fact, in terms of pure gameplay, some are enjoying it quite a bit.

One does wonder what Kojima himself thinks about the whole thing (answer: probably not much since he's spent a weekend tweeting about Paddington 2 and lunch with Ryuhei Kitamura) and how different a Metal Gear 5 expansion mi♌ght have looked if he were still in charge.

In any case, Metal Gear Survive will be releasing for💎 PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 20 this yearꦬ. Is being 'always online' a problem? Will you be picking it up? Or has the recent beta put you off for good? Let us know in the comments down below.
