10 Times Metal Gear Solid Was A Total Dick To Fans

4. Ground Zeroes€™ Length And Purpose

It's a crying shame that until Shadow of Mordor dropped and proved games can actually do something completely unique thanks to next-generation hardware, the only other positive thing going was Ground Zeroes' insanely short runtime. Regardless of how much content you managed to wring out of it's potentially half-hour long runtime, you just can't deny the facts; we got more than what's on offer for free back when Zone of the Enders launched. Either way you slice it Ground Zeroes is a playable demo - something we know Kojima can put a crazy amount of attention into if you look at the Silent Hills' P.T. teaser that dropped earlier this year. And so for this whole "Well we wanted to give you a taste of what's to come" posturing, in the end what Konami did was mine the love we all have for the franchise for a pretty substantial sum of cash. Still, we're all glad we got to play it... right?
