True Gamers Will Buy The MGS HD Collection On November 8
Come on. This news was primed for such a headline.
So as it turns out, the date has been changed for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. As you may have seen at other sources, both Amazon and GameStop have a new date for the highly anticipated package: November 8.
Now, as the entire planet knows, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 comes out on that same day. The guaranteed biggest game of the year. It'll probably sell over 20 million copies, and maybe even more than 25 million. The biggest game ever, in all likelihood. The summer blockbuster of movies coming in the fall. But real gamers, those who have a history of enjoying the hobby, those who enjoy something with a tad more substance than a big ol' mindless shooter, will absolutely spring for the Collection on that day.
And this goes well beyond the hardcore MGS followers (and there are lots of those people); I honestly believe some of these gamers hate CoD so much, they'll buy the MGS Collection almost entirely out of spite. I can just picture one of the MW3 haters going, "yeah, I'm going to spend money on not one, but three games that actually feature depth, substance, story, etc, etc, etc." Hey, I'm not the one saying it. Just ask around. See if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, with the upcoming titles I really want, the MGS HD collection cannot be bought on my current budget. I am sure there will be a time when I can get it cheaply enough, probably July or December 2012 when there are typically huge sales on PSN...
But right now, my money is going elsewhere...
Q!

I had no idea.
I'm still not going to buy it though. I'm Not a fan.
As far as the MGS Collection, this is good for me. I was too young at the time to appreciate how great MGS was. So, even though I'm not buying this on day one, I will be getting it this year.

But I hear that they are working on the MGS(1) remake seperatly, it was to old to get it as ecual to this ones so they plan on releasing it seperatly. Already a day one purchase for me.
And I havn't heard if they are having the first MGS as a code you can download from the PSN tht comes with dah collection, that would make sence, and be totally awesome. I would love that!
And just as i thought 50 bucks was worth it.. this collection in my eyes is worth at least 70, 80 looking at the games out there priced at $60.

MGS-The greatest franchise ever played
I'll be proud standing in line surrounded in kids holding there "Mw3" at the cash teel. i'll even have a smile on my face and maybe even poke at a 12 year old, "psst, hey, try this, a real game that is a billion times better then that crappy arcade shooter your holding, And if you wanted a real shooter, you should of picked up battlefield 3 last week."
:D

especially a collection that most have already finished probably 40 times by now!
only game ill be playing in november is assassins creed revelaions.
i just hope it has a propper story this time an not oh nooooooo the thing you spent all of AC2 to retrieve has now been stolen.
lamest plot point ever!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope theres allot less forced stealth too, AC has always had such a awesome combat system but you cant use it if your forced upon stealth which is just really stupid!
its like saying here are the keys to a Ferrari enzo, its parked right there.
but sorry your not allowed to drive it, instead you have to drive herby.

This is site bashes way too much call of duty, and i bet none of the people bashing it has at least tried black ops yet.
Main reason could be they suck at it or they don't like the game, or think it doesn't compare to other games.
Most likely they suck at it.

But now that means I have a game to play EVERY week of November (Uncharted 3 on November 1st, Metal Gear Solid HD on November 8th, Assassin's Creed Revelations November 15th, ... hmmm, maybe only the first three weeks unless Oddworld HD comes out November 22nd).
People should definitely purchase this over Call of Duty though. I've played Modern Warfare 2 and it's a decent game, no glitches and very fluid but overall just felt meh (great music though). Metal Gear Solid HD, living through these games either for the first time or again will be much more memorable than generic corridor shooter #3058684.
