10 Video Game DLCs Fans REJECTED

10. Paying For An Extra Save Slot - Metal Gear Survive

The games on this list are all of varying quality but it’s fair to say that Metal Gear Survive is entry where the franchise’s fans outright rejected the entire product. After Hideo Kojima left Konami and the company forged on with his IP it was bound to be a disaster, and that’s before adding in base building elements and zombies.

Metal Gear Survive is not much of a Metal Gear game, and more to the point it’s Konami at their most Konami. Nowhere can this be seen better than the game’s “save slot DLC” controversy.

It’s one thing to ask players to pay for something that was free in previous instalments but an expected feature of any video game that has been a standard for 30 years was outrageous. Konami, their hardened shell of being laughed at and derided, were immune to the torrent of rage that this created.

Most people wouldn’t pay for the tragedy that was Survive, let alone a second save slot to play it again - but the gall to even do such a thing couldn’t escape mockery.

The save slot was priced at 1000 SV coins, the in-game currency which could be saved up or, naturally, bought with real world money. At an asking price of $10 for that 1000, those that actually bought the game kindly told Konami where to shove it.
