Plot needs more substance

Just wanting to put it out that the plot seems incomplete and also needs better punctuation etc. Besides that, no other issue Ican really see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C1:4200:C82:6CEB:543B:5CB5:3785 (talk) 18:27, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Metal Gear Survive

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Metal Gear Survive's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "MCXONE":

From Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes: "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for Xbox One Reviews". Metacritic. Retrieved March 18, 2014.
From Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for Xbox One Reviews". Metacritic. CBS Interactive. Retrieved August 24, 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:10, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial Failure?

I just checked source on commercial failure and nothing actually pops up. I've seen people reference it but neither Konami nor any citable source has said it as such.-74.116.240.2 (talk) 18:51, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many reliable sources confirm that the game sold poorly, especially for a Metal Gear, equating to a commercial failure. Those in the article source that it sold 85% less copies in its first week than Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and just 5% of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. In the UK, it launched at 6th place in the sales charts, and in the US failed to meet the Top 20 list of best-sellers of its launch month. Even on Steam, it was outside the top 50 in terms of playerbase.

Konami mentioned how well their recent installment of their Pro Evolution Soccer series was selling, but suspiciously simply mentioned that Survive had released; nothing was said about its sales, unusual for how big the Metal Gear series is, and which implies they were likely embarrassed by how badly the game performed. Other websites like PCGamesN, Game Rant, Segment Next, and Eurogamer made similar observations in terms of how the game had sold. Across these sites, the game was found to have a "shocking performance" and called a "flop" and "commercial failure".Wikibenboy94 (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
