Metal Gear Survive launched today, and because Konami didn\u2019t provide early access to critics, so has our review. We\u2019re working to get the full review published as soon as possible (exactly when will depend on how much there is to do), but until then, here are some launch-day impressions.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One of the first things you see when you reach the bland, zombie-infested alternate Earth where Metal Gear Survive takes place is the huge, twisted chunk of The Phantom Pain\u2019s Seychelles Mother Base. But if Survive is set after Ground Zeroes and before The Phantom Pain, as its opening cutscene suggests, this makes no sense. Diamond Dogs wasn\u2019t formed until nearly a decade after the destruction of Militaires Sans Fronti\u00e8res\u2019 Caribbean Mother Base, so how can this be here?
