I believe I read somewhere, Konami gave this a budget of $75-80 million, so their ROI is fantastic. I don't know what that means for the future of Konami and the MGS franchise but I hope we see another one in the next few years. With the holiday shopping coming right around the corner, maybe it will push this title north of $200 M and perhaps warrant a call to Kojima to come back for the next installment? But then again, I believe he said this is his final MGS title and will be moving on from the franchise.
Regardless, this is by far one of the best games I have played in many years. I have around 75-80 hours and only on episode 23. I'm really taking my time, enjoying all of the side ops, free roaming and taking my time through the missions as well. A very fun, enjoyable and immense game. |

This is comparable to a movie opening with a large return on the studio's investment. While I am not a gamer, I must say "great job" to Konami. My contributions to this company are largely limited to playing Yu-Gi-Oh!

You do realize that Kojima and Konami had a falling out right? Like it's literally been all over gaming news for the last six months or so. He's not doing anymore MGS games because he will no longer work with Konami after December. Konami is the literal scum of the earth when it comes to game companies. |

im simultaneously pissed and proud of mgs5, more pissed than proud actually. For all of its greatness MGS5 is a greatly flawed game with numerous incomplete stories, cut chapters and unwanted/unnecessary plot twists that actually screw with the continuity and makes certain claims and vendettas hypocritical.
damn if they can cram all that crap into the game and still make that much money (mine included) im impressed and disappointed heres to hoping this will 'actually' be the last MGS game... now Raiden's story on the other hand is whole different story |

I've never really been interested in MGS. I've only played the first one a little bit on PSX years ago. But I'll probably buy MGS5.... someday.

The 80 mil. development cost was capped off 5 months before release and the advertisement budget and so on are still left unrevealed.
I also have no idea how much Komani makes on a 60$ dollar game (let´s say a 1/3) so come back to me when the game actually starts making money... It´s also the worst entry in the series after the MSX original and managed to break the community half. I ended up writing a 1800 word amazon review to get it out of my head and that ain´t good. |

Congratulations to Metal Gear Solid V for reaching that many sales on Day 1. It's a shame that there will be no more MGS after this thanks to Konami's horrendous business practices.

Literal?
Let's not pretend though that screwing around with continuity, plot holes, and wonky plot twists was something that just reared it's ugly head with Phantom Pain.
So did Sons Of Liberty, Twin Snakes, Guns Of The Patriots, Peace Walker & Revengeance incidentally those games have sizable hatedoms. |

Most Metal Gear Solid instalments after 1 have broken the community in half. People were extremely pissed about Raiden in MGS2, extremely pissed about the cutscenes and many plot aspects of MGS4, extremely pissed about the micromanagment of MGS:PW, extremely pissed about mostly everything of Twin Snakes, extremely pissed about the change in gameplay of Revengeance... Basically, part of the community will always get pissed about something. It doesn't even surprise me anymore. |
