10 Most Shameful Video Game Releases Of All Time
10. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1
For its 35-year anniversary, Konami decided to release a remastered port of the Metal Gear Solid series on all modern consoles. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 consists of Metal Gear 1 + 2, Snake's Revenge, as well as the first three MGS instalments.
Though these classic games still stand the test of time, the way they are presented in this compilation is god-awful. Even though the old-school titles are on the disc/cartridge, their 3D counterparts need to be downloaded. Konami expects consumers to fork over £40 on this collection, despite the fact it doesn't contain half the games advertised on it!
Now, there are some who might think this isn't a big deal. All you have to do is download them, right? Yep, but the MGS titles take up a whopping 30GB. How could a basic port of 20-year-old games take up so much space?
That's not even getting into the complaints of issues with frame-rates, aspect ratios and performance woes that shoud've been ironed out in the lead-up to release.
Based on how badly Konami fumbled an assortment of their most beloved property, skepticism is sky-high for Master Collection Vol. 2.
