Additionally, the report said that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain had 79,000 social mentions on release day, compared to the 41,000 social mentions for Avengers: Age of Ultron on its release day on May 1. Avengers: Age of Ultron earned US$84.5 million on its opening day in the U.S., and holds the second place record behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain shipped for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in the United States and Europe on September 1, followed by Japan on September 2.
The report also found that video game revenue "generated from E3" in June 2015 was "only 13% shy" of November 2014, during the holiday shopping period. Adobe added that E3 generated 3.5 million "social engagements" between June 14-18. The report also noted that video game sales were also up 4% in August 2015 compared to August 2014.

My brother let me borrow this and I haven't touched it at all.


I'm not much of a gamer,as I get older,even though I want to be in the industry....

It's a complete waste of time and money.

Biggest let down ive ever had from a game. It is nothing like Metal gear solid. I was always a huge fan,the first and third being my favourite,missed out on the 4th because i didn't own a ps3,but it look pretty rubbish too. But this game doesn't just take the biscuit,it takes the whole packet.

Im glad i didn't buy it at full price. Save your time and don't bother playing it.

I wouldn't really say im much of a gamer,i find it hard to find good games to play nowadays, ive been playing alot of anno 1400. Games like that seem to be the most funnest and last the longest.

I wait until there are sales on,never pay more than 20 for a game now.I just bought dark souls this morning for 5 smackers. Bargain!

I'm a huge MGS fan also,but for whatever reason,I can't get into it.

I don't understand,why they changed the formula.

Maybe,it's time for the series to take a break or introduce new characters.

The reason you can't get into it is because it just isn't metal gear.Kojima trashed it.He thinks he is smart but he's far from it.

Spoiler:

Did you know that he and his crew were fired from konami?

Yeah well now the original team has gone, who knows what it would be like.Konami first said they don't want to make Big games any more,just focusing on mobile games.But then they said metal gear isn't over.
