You Can Download Free DLC for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Right Now

I've had Ground Zeroes since launch but have to say I've not spent a lot of time with it, which is weird as someone who usually loves the MGS series. Maybe I'm finding it hard to get to grips with the new mechanics, or maybe it's the OCD in me telling me I've not played Peace Walker all the way through yet and should do that before committing a Time Paradox...

As a gigantic MGS fan, i have not gone out and bought GZ. I have no interest in buying a glorified demo. Has anybody else not bought it despite being a huge fan?

I remember paying £3.50 for a magazine with the entire Tanker section from MGS2 as a demo.....How times have changed.

do you still have to find all the xof patches to play this dlc?

@3rdEyeMind im with you man. Love MGS but im not buying a demo for £20. It will come out eventually with The Phantom Pain so ill just wait :]

I'm just played out of the Metal Gear solid experience. It was fun before, but I would rather have Syphon Filter at this point. The MGS series came to an end on MGS4 and I really didn't care much for that game.

"Hideo Killed the Radio Star"

Seriously, guys? xD

@SuperSilverback erm, no it won't come out with The Phantom Pain...

@FullbringIchigo yes. Here's a guide if you need it:

@3rdEyeMind I had the same feeling initially, but recently took the plunge and got it anyway. It is well worth £20. I've put more than 15 hours into it and couldn't be happier. Probably my favorite slice of Metal Gear I've ever played. Cant wait for TPP. I'd encourage you to get it and sell it on eBay if you're not happy with it.

@Alex840 chers and I do need a guide, I never have been any god at finding little things like them in games guess I just don't look properly

I'll play it at some point. Its gathering dust while I indulge in football manager.

@Demi_God WHAT?

@SuperSilverback I played this demo for 20 hours, it's more than I spent to pltinum inFamous SS. And it was really rewarding experience. Those who just played it once have no idea how deep the story and game really are. It's not demo, but little MGS. But I agree that it is overpriced =(.

This raiden mission actually looked better than the de ja vu one we got. Best dig gz back out for another go.

I'm so sick of people saying its a glorified demo, is it overpriced? Yes but that doesn't mean its a demo. 1 story mission and now 6 six side missions in addition to those extras (soundtrack/X.O.F. patches).

Topic: This adds more (although ironically short) value and i'm still waiting for the right price on Amazon.

Just traded it towards battle field last and now they releas ethe raiden DLC ....son of..... AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

@3rdEyeMind huge fan here, and IMHO, you're missing out. I've played this for over 12 hours now and only 33% done. Sure, it's just repeating the same 6 missions, but the base/map, gameplay mechanics, enemy AI, and all the other fun stuff is just fantastic. Spent £20 and have gotten more out it of than other full priced games.
it's NOT a demo. It's just a very limited game, but with so much freedom that you can keep playing it.
And Kojima even trolls you in one of the missions. Also, Deja Vu is BRILLIANT bit of fan service to MGS1 fanatics like me. Took me almost 2 hours just to finish that, and I didn't even find everything.

Honestly, so far I've only heard people who haven't bought it refer to it as a demo. I'm jumping back in now to play Jamais Vu.

Oh, one criticism: IT MAKES YOU ACCCHEEEEE FOR THE PHANTOM PAIN!
I WANT IT NAOOWWW!!!!!!!! NAAOOOWWWWWW!

"Some would have us believe" lol? Please...

The game IS really short. You can play that really short game all you want, and in as many different ways as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the game is really freakin short.

There's one map in the entire game. Sure, you can go rescue this guy here, or go rescue that guy there, or you can sneak past this way to here, or sneak past that way to there, but you can't get around the fact that all the gameplay is experienced on that one, single map location.

I bought the game. I played the game. I enjoyed the game. But I'm not so blind as to defend it as something it's not. The game is demo length, like it or not. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Doesn't mean it's not worth it (because even I deemed it worth buying), but it does mean exactly what it means- I've had demos with more content than this game. Sorry, but it's true.

@JaxonH It's not a demo. It is selfcontent, standalone little game. Demo designed as little game, if you like that better. And I never played any demo for 20 hours, and I played for 20 hours just for trophies. And I never play for trophies if I don't like something. But you really need to collect and listen to all tapes, and complete all missions to understand that this is not just a demo.

@Gemuarto

I have. Bravely Default demo had MORE content than MGSV GZ. So did Wonderful 101 demo. Both of which you could replay in different ways with different missions and far exceed the playtime with this game. That's why I'm saying the game is basically a demo. Because I have literally played demos that had more content and could last longer.

With that said, I still bought it and enjoyed it because I wanted to play it. But there's no getting around the truth of what it is. It is what it is, as they say.

Some conflicting views here. To back up my original claim, though, i did spend about 15 hours doing the Tanker Demo to MGS2, going through it doing many different play styles and hunting down the secrets and it was just £3.50.

I don't think £20 will ever be justified for a Prologue to a main game.

The amount of open-endedness and branching paths in a small sandbox in Ground Zeroes far exceeds that of other demos like Bravely Default, Wonderful 101 and the Tanker mission in MGS2.

It is basically a demo definitely a lengthy demo with a lot of extra playability and it is too expensive but it is also one of the best gameplay experiences I have had on the ps4 so far
