I couldn't believe Masahiro Ito was involved in this project (for making the monsters). It's like employing H.R. Giger for monster design in a Sharknedo.

You really are positive and unbiased about every game you review.

buying this just to full force right hook a zebra in its fucking rib cage

So I've been playing: RAID SHADOW LEGENDS

This is the most in-depth review of Survive I've ever seen!

Nice review, it was kind surprising to watch something about this game here. I think what most compromissed the game was the name that it was carrying, not because it was a obvious way of making money, but because for being a metal gear title it would have to keep certains aspects, naturally holding the game to execute all the possible ideias that would give it a orignal feel etc. Konami has to belive in their devs, there is no need to keep pushing already famous franchises to sell games.

So it's basically a survival mod for MGSV?

Wow I think you’re the first reviewer to play this game for more than a couple hours lol

Good stuff as ever. I remember being wowed by how hanging out in the rain too long could have you getting a cold in mgs2 and that it actually tipped off guards at awkward moments with you sneezing- the survival elements have been in the franchise for long time, but more as little thematic ideas (like killing things for food in 3) than structural elements. The worst thing is somewhere there's a parallel world where this game could have been made with a more interesting structural backbone like forcing back a palpable infection around your base or something, or even carried by an unusual writing hook. Heck, there's plenty of mediocre games that I've sat through because the talking heads were good (*cough* destiny *cough*). Thinking about the silent hill comparison, those games are mostly brutally serious with touches of humour on top, but for me, the metal gear games are the inverse - super silly, but with some savagely dark touches on top, as if to say "hey, hey, you're laughing about otacon peeing his pants, and soldiers ogling magazines, well here, have some child soldiers and waterboarding because this is like soooper serious y'all."

You forgot to mention the best part, the multiplayer! The grind for resources is a slog, but trying to complete the hard coop missions with limited resources was a great challenge.

This review is probably one of the better reviews for Survive I've seen so far. Although I do have some questions, 1:Did you ever figure out that if you return to base camp instead of reloading a save, the game will spawn a box where you died containing all the supplies you had when you died? 2:Did you fight those two end game bosses? What did you think of them and the music for each one? 3:Any thoughts on the multiplayer? 4:What made you wanna make this review for Survive?

"whatever the fuck Dark Souls' deal is." That's probably the best way I've ever heard Dark Souls described.

I love your perspective on games. It's very introspective, insightful, and gives me a clear look at the game itself, and not just the *idea* of what people *think* the game is.

Just wanted to drop in and say i love your channel. i love your playstation/japanese early 2000's style bumps

Honestly, your description of The Dust kinda sold me on it. It's been long enough that it's pretty cheap and won't affect Konami's ranking of how successful it was, so... Hell yeah, shoot that Masahiro Ito creepy shit right into my veins!

Nou, ik begin die videos van je behoorlijk interessant te vinden chef! Hou maar zo. Ik ga IIG lekker mijn abonnement behouden.

This is honestly the most in depth review I've seen of this game. Most reviews of it are usually "I don't like it cuz Konami are assholes etc etc" and they don't even show the different enemy types and other stuff. Not saying i think it looks like a cool game because it doesn't but it was still a great review. More weird PS2 shit please.

Yeah, I forgot that thing existed. Thanks for the serious review, truly.

This is very refreshing! This review does a good job of presenting the good with the bad. I do disagree with a few things but that is where personal taste comes in. I don’t really get the spear and fence strategy as getting in close with enemies can be really dangerous as a few can take you out quickly, I found the bow and arrow my go to. And that goes back to preferred play style. I am having a great time with the game and I find that it gets better the movie you play. The game can be a very slow burn. Hell, I made a video defending this game especially with all the misinformation. Good job 😀

Dude your intro song makes me trip real hard every time

HIGHHEELS?!? IN THE FRAMES OF 60 PER SECOND? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!?! No joke, good video...as always.

I never seen anyone talk about something except the enemies. I'm learning a lot from this. The game is as bad as people say it is but there some interesting stuff in there too. Cool review. This was a lot more interesting than I thought it would.

the first strand type game

I love the way you word things, it just makes a simple sentence so much funnier. Glad I found this channel yesterday, you're a cool boy 😚

If you have a large survivor base, with a lots of extra weapons/equipment/food; you can send them to retrieve your Lost Boxes (Packs you drop when you either die or Return to base camp since you're too far away from a nearby teleporter). They can get it back in about 24minutes, while you go do other things. Found it especially useful to do it in the 2nd part of the map, where there's a massive amount of resources, but you can't loot all of it AND return to a nearby teleporter. Honestly, I never had trouble sneaking around. Bow & Arrow never got removed for a Spear. And i used twohanded melee most of the beginning of the game, playing ala Dark Souls against wanderer groups. Exploration rewards you with great amount of loot + recipes for new tools to bring. Like more Molotovs carried, More Lures carried, and Arrow Quivers. I'm at the point in the game where i can carry an entire match with just Heavy Arrows / Bow without ever really running out of ammo. EDIT : Yeah, thsi game is severly underbudget. They dont have any advertising, the voice actors were paid lazily, and Masahiro Ito only glossed over designs. But holy shit is it a better survival game than anything else in the market. Unoptimized, 60USD +60USD DLC, Bloated, game engines a mess - etc. The game gets pretty fun during co-op, especially unlocking the subclasses, and also postgame bosses. Its best played in short bursts, and updates for the game seem to be fine for now.

You done gone did a metal gear solid job.

R.I.P. Metal Gear Solid (And David Hayter as Snake)

2:13 "W-we work under fair conditions."

Hey. MGSurvive “”””pro”””” here. As someone who has spent 60 hours on this game I got some tips for all of you. If you knock an animal down with the run punch (what he did to the Zebra) you can fulton them, sending them back to base- and it actually increases the amount of shit you get off them (it seems at least) but it goes in your base inventory so you can’t access the raw food immediately. Once you unlock animal cages make sure to have different breeds of animals inside them because you can get more rare crafting items consistently After you get a couple of farms you’ll be swimming in more potatoes than you’ll ever need. Seriously. Hunger is no longer an issue. After the zombies get to around like 1200 kuban each it’s not even worth looting them you should have good enough stuff to just do a coop mission (very hard to find friends queue time on PS4 was around 5-10 min on weekends) and get S rank. Make sure to speed up the drill and do side missions!

Good to see someone that hasn't judged the game before even playing it (might have been guilty of that myself). You make the game seem like it might be worth a buy in a few years.

This game is so much fun. I started a new game a week ago and have been addicted again.

The spiderlike zombies sound exactly like the spiders from Chaos legion

This game is genuinely fun with a friend or two. Spent hours playing it. We never expected anything much from the game and enjoyed ourself

I hate that they blundered this idea. It could have been something like Red Dead Undead Nightmare.

this lowkey looks like a fun time

Nice. Thanks youtube for showing me this video 100 years late

Oh fuck, someone acknowledged Hybrid Heaven!

I really want to know: does anyone like "press and hold" prompts? The more I have to deal with them the more angry I get. Why make me hold a button if pressing it is enough?

Man, those weird aliens (especially the giant creepy things with tons of arms and legs) look really cool. It's a shame they couldn't apply that same level of creativity to the zombies and instead just made them generic zombies with crystals stuck in their head.

was it intentional for this to be at the beginning of the Metal Gear Retrospective playlist? shouldnt this be somewhere near Act 10 where its fitting?

I don't know about yall but I love having to carve all my rewards, esp if you give a me a lil speed boost down the road im fine.

Honestly as a person who actually kinda enjoyed this game i can agree with everything you said. Its not a perfect game far from it, and its not for everyone. Id say my satisfaction came from the slow and gradual progression into a beast. Ive never felt as much progression satisfaction in a game, because once you get to the point were you don't have to worry about resources and can blast through enemies with your all purple loadout you feel like a god who earned your way to the top. For the 5 people who made it that far I'd say this game is a blast seeing how far you can go all in all id say the reward is worth even though few see it.

Wow you actually made me want to give this game an honest shot

"Angry Travis" fucking got me good, hahahaha

Any chances of a review of The 25th Ward: The Silver Case game that came out recently? I've been playing it and wondering what you thought of it.

I remember hearing people only talk shit about this game and whilst i couldn't beat it due to lack of bullets (game didn't give back after death and online being dead is when i finally quit) and i loved using a bow due to it being so satisfying to takedown an enemy without getting close to do the takedown from behind through hitting the weakpoint on the back and the satisfying sound of scoring a headshot

If they gave the Devs more time this could have been much better

The main thing I'll say about this game is the that from start to end is a completely different game from the endgame. And im not talking about the section where you get the extra classes im talking about the normal/hard/and extreme missions and the legendary/epic tier loot. Once you get that stuff this game goes up in fun tenfold honestly the true end game of the normals and hards, and doing extreme salvage missions with friends is some of the most chaotic and fun times ive had online outta any game. Its a shame tho that few will ever get to experience it as its the VERY LAST thing you can access in the game. And mean that because not only do you have to bet the main story AND unlock the sub classes, but you also have to max out atleast one of them to even have the ability to enter and extreme mission. Which extreme missions are like their Namesake extreme they require atleast 3 fully geared up people or 2 experienced max gear and level players to clear. But the rewards are plentiful. The last loot you get the purple and gold gear makes this game so fun. In the main story your gear gradually upgrades to rare/blue grade but through the story thats all you have access to. Although they are good in comparison to what you start with they still dont even compare to the likes of gold or even purple tier gear. I got my taste of the purple stuff after defeating the first optional boss bigmouth which was a treat to kill. I had to plan how i was going to take him out and ultimately it depleted all my character's immediate supplies plus a few dodgy melee hits to down him. But my reward was my first ever purple weapon. And once i had a taste i had to have more. And thats how i discovered the multi-player salvage missions. Which are beefed up versions of the defense waves you play in the story. Normals are their rough equivalent. At the time i didn't know there was an active online community so i learned how to do them solo which is made easier after you unlock the auto turret. Eventually i gained access to the entire roster of purple loot by soloing normal and later even hard missions. And them i found out that the game still has some active players and them i teamed up and learned strategies to get the gold level loot. To put into perspective the power of the upper tier loot that boss that took me upwards of 30 mins to beat my first time with the max gear from the main story. Is now something i can destroy in no exaggeration SECONDS. In hard and extreme missions the bosses even spawn in as and optional objective that if i have a minute to spare ill do for the fun of it along with the defense wave. If you made it this far congratulations, this was a rambling post but i wanted to be as thorough as possible considering how few people will ever get to experience what i experienced. This game is transformed by its endgame. But understandably so there's nearly 60 hrs worth of gameplay you've gotta power through first to get to it which i think is a huge flaw and unreasonable to ask of anyone to get to just to have fun. I only got that far outta curiosity and the enormous chunk of time i had during the pandemic. But if anyone's up to it id say go for it. Once you unlock subclasses your journey truely has begun.

oh ya zhe art

Still kinda hate how the concensus is that the game is boring "cause all you need is spear and fence," Which is why their best add was that they collapse. The spear is slow and has a small AOE, so the second you got two guys on you in close range, you'll miss the machete. No strategy should be bulletproof in a survival game.

0:50 circle for pointing, *circle for shooting*

Laurence Fishburne seems good in that one :)

I'm not sure why the flashlight & binoculars are even in this game. They do...nothing. At all.

CONTIGO PIPO

Last time i heard about this game was the trailer then nothing up until today i got recommended. Lol

Ive always thought metal gear could have a great survival spin-off game. I mean, metal gear solid 3 was arguably half of a survival game with all of the injury-healing and-food eating gameplay. I thought this game could have been good before release even though Kojima wasn’t there. I feel like this game could have made for a great f2p game, but instead it’s essentially clash of clans with a price tag and the metal gear title. I might just get this game when it goes on sale, because it always does lmao

Fairest review I've seen of the game.

Your videos bring me so much joy to my bleak life

Yes I too love hitting zombies with a stick

yes.

If mgs 5 shipped with mod tools this game wouldn't exist

Konami's mobile division is actually thriving

I just can't put up will all that grind.

This game is actually ultra low key revolutionary praxis, distributed as hyper-disguised propaganda to get all of the west on board with supporting both a nuclear energy and nuclear weapons project for the Republic of Kuba, or "Kuban Energy".

Love your reviews man! please continue your work love your work and by the way i hate angry joe too fuck that guy reviews, keep on your good work man

This review made me buy the game, and while it does feel jank and there’s an over reliance on horde mode stuff, I’m having a blast when I’m out exploring the Dust. It’s a shame that Konami rushed the thing out of the door because the game has great ideas, but it’s obvious corners were cut and needed more polish and development time. And it’s even more of a shame the fact that reviewers crucified the game due to Kojima not being involved, while not GOTY contender by any means, game is far from worst game and saw on on so many lists. I have a theory that death stranding will be a more polished version of this and Konami last big F to Kojima was using his unfinished design document for making this game.

I feel like I was given a review by Keanu Reeves

Kojima: Im mother Fucking Hideo Kojima what will Konami donto me? Konami: yeah pack your shit up and go.

I'm still playing

So no ones gonna draw the comparisons to this and Death Stranding? Its soo many clearing got his leftover notes or some shit

Dude, Dark Souls works different. You only only use souls, which is both money and XP, but you still keep all the equipment and items you found andshortcuts you unlock. So if you die you don't loose all of your progress, just your money. And you can get it back if you make it to your death spot without dying again Plus all the regular enemies will respawn (bosses don't). it's more like a checkpoint design with a few tweaks to make it more interesting.

It's Dayz mod for MGSV

I'm the kind of sick person who loves staring at numbers getting bigger, tedius gameplay loops, slow incremental progression systems, and obesessive scavanging and hoarding, inventory and resource managing. As long as the sound effects and UI feel good to my brain, that cathartic satisfing trance happens and I will enjoy doing that thing repetitively. It's also that stratigic delayed gratification reward that keeps me motivated and curious about what will happen later with more time invested. I think I'd love this game, like a lot, like way too much. I really dig stupid character designs and bad stories too.

This video was recommended to me today and I have to confess I had forgotten this game even existed, and now I can watch a review without any anger about this in my system, just disappointment.

>hear metal gear survive is shit >avoid it >watch this video >says game is still garbage >get painful urge to play the game you describing it to me how much it sucks ass made me wanna play it now....i really hope this was what you were going for.

I came to say BOKTAI!!... never forget.

Just thor high heels can make this piece of shit game sound actually good

100 hours in and still loving it

Ever Played Dust an Elysian tale? Try it its really good

If this game had pvp it’d be cool, like rust where you have to feed your town

coupon energy

Oh your EA trax box is back. Like how you try to make them fit the UIs. What do you think of MonHun?

I enjoyed it way more than mgs5(which didn't feel like mgs game at all), I loved the feel of exploration, loved dungeon areas filled with enemies etc PS originally mgs series should have zombies in it even during development of Mgs rising and Kojima wasn't against it... And then all of a sudden everyone forgot it, and started making fun of zombies in survive, lol PSS 90% of reviewers didn't play the game passed 2-3 hours... And it's obvious, if you beat the game yourself 😁

Did you finished it ??

Entertaining review of a shitty game. A zombie Metal Gear Spinoff should have been easy to make fun. All other points aside it's a shame you didn't bring up it is still a bad Metal Gear Game when the name on the box is considered too. It's basically a bad version of Monster Hunter meets Resident Evil meets the bottom of the barrel with microtransactions. Occasionally not boring at best and bad at worst.

Didn't you get the guns?

i didnt mind it that much when i played it

14:04 ehh Dark Souls isnt really that cheap there's a lot of savepoints. Mostly I'm just saying going back a whole hour sounds more frustrating than Dark Souls for me.

So basically an entirely different game on the fox engine... but on the Fox Engine? Makes me wish this wasn't called "Metal Gear: Survive" but something stupid but fun sounding like... "Corpse Memory" with incredibly vague refrences to the Metal Gear universe so it'd be like "has some potential" or "just needed to get rid of some uneeded stats and needlesly hard experiences" and it'd be decent. I'm guessing the hate for the game is based on it's namesake,which.. yeah i guess that makes sense?

imo, it should've been a Silent Hill game.

hella

Underrated gem.

I stopped keeping up with Metal Gear after, "Sons of Liberty." The best one, was the first one that came on Ps1.

I think the fox engine is ripe for a survival game. Just not this...lol

You can call it dust but it's still the Mist to me.

Any review for the co-op? After 7months? XD

Love you baby

Its fine by me that Metal Gear has ended since the story is basically done it did not die after Metal Gear Survive. It died a beautiful death after MGSV.

too bad, I would've been okay with a Metal Gear spinoff that Kojima had nothing to do with, but this doesn't pass muster

Not bad review but you completely left out any mention of multiplayer and that where basically me and my friend been sinking in last +30 hours into as thats the fun part of the game, even though the developers are taking some time to flesh it out with adding new content every few weeks.
