Why are the credits playing

Is that it?


I see now why people were pissed at the length of this game

There's also missions to do afterward, and two special DLC missions. There is a reasonable amount of content, you just have to work past the story.

I'm just confused now.

I did one mission then the credits played.

They play after every mission. It's irritating but tolerable.

Nope, that's just the prologue. You'll be getting the rest of the story in a week.

I thought people were exaggerating with the paying for a prologue thing

Anyway, I'll read the summary or something online. Got a couple of games higher up the list to get first.

Okay, so essentially, the destruction at the end of Ground Zeroes is extremely devastating, especially after you carefully crafted and bonded with it's development in the previous game, Peace Walker.

Kaz and Snake had spent years building it up, creating their "Nation without Borders". This point is further illustrated if you listen to the many tapes Ground Zeroes comes with. It's their baby, their way of life.

Their comrades, killed in coldblood.

So you can imagine when, nine years later, Big Boss wakes up and finds his best friend without an arm or a leg, is pretty fucking pissed off and ready for revenge.

Yeah, I know. It's just hard for someone who didn't have the emotional investment to understand why the devastation was devastating.

I'm only trying to explain why Snake is out for revenge, but even then, I have my doubts.

People probably just bought Ground Zeroes, not playing the series beforehand, and just thought 'Oooh, it's an action game for PS4, I bet this'll be good! Then complain when it's shorter than they thought.

No, the game is unreasonably short for it's initial price. If it had been released at, say, $10-20, or even free as a demo with another Konami game, it would have been perfectly acceptable.

The sheer fact that The Phantom Pain's trailer plays at the game is a testament to what this game really is.

I get the TPP probably had huge development costs and they needed to make that up somehow, but they should have come out and said that, to be honest.

Eh, I got my money's worth, maybe a little bit much but it didn't bother me as much.

It wouldnt have bothered me as much either if they just came out and said "we need money to make TPP good." Sort of like a kickstarter.

Ive definitely gotten my enjoyment out of it but even so, I wouldn't pay $40 for it.

Luckily TPP is shaping up to be a $100 value for $60, so it balances out.
