Konami fucking up news?

SImoHayha

Looks like Konami maybe don goofed with physical game copies for PC.

 

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain retail PC disc doesn't even contain the game whatsoever. But only a steam installer which requires the user to download the game. Says one user whom managed to nab a PC copy early.

 

Now am pretty pissed off actually if this is true. What about PC users whom don't have a fast internet connection ? At least GTA V offered a physical DISCS sure it was nearly 7 discs but still it was better then nothing. It took me three days to download GTAV and not to mention the infamous files being corrupted which also required 4 additional hours to re-download the broken files.

 

It doesn't help we don't get to pre-load unlike the consoles as well.

 

Hopefully this is false and people whom nab the physical copy of the game for PC can help see if this is true or not.

 

 

 

User whom manged to nab a early copy of MGSV:TTP for PC.

 

hopefully this is false or maybe even an error.

This is exactly what happened to me with Skyrim. I went to the midnight release and was super pumped to play it when I got home. Steam installer. Fuck you Bethesda.

Just you, I wish it wasn't. Would've saved me from disgracing my eyes, the twitter page is covered in anime.

I run my browser through NSA ports to make their illegal jobs easier. :P

Here's your car. It only functions as a proof of purchase for your real car though, it doesn't actually roll. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

I don't mind nudity, my house and my family's houses are filled with sculptures and paintings most of them are nude or have nudity. I just don't like anime.

Checked it again. For whatever reason, the Twitter page says the link can't be found on my iPhone.

EDIT: nvm, there's a picture up now.

EDIT EDIT: just realized that if I go to the full version, the Twitter feed shows up, i.e. the "picture." Derp.

Damn hope this isnt true. This is going to be my first MG game and kojimas last so i wanted to have a physical copy (for box art/collection/respect). But if its just a blank disc whats the point? If i preorder i would get ground zeros as well. Dont really care about the dont pre order rule. Only game I pre ordered was Dmc4 special ed. Might still hold out. Dont know. Are the discs steam exclusive or others carry them as well?

Why is this "news"? I've seen other games that are done this way. Oh, because it's sensationalist. Got it.
