Oh, Konami. You just can’t seem to get the online right with Metal Gear, can you? First we had all the issues with the Konami ID, then only getting one character, and now the Gene Expansion just released is causing major troubles.
The MGO Shop and new Reward Shop are both up and down (mostly down) with some players reporting having purchased the Gene Expansion but not receiving anything. Seriously, why can’t this all be tied into the PSN? Have everything on the PlayStation Store, not in some web page shop you have to access with the PS3 Browser.
To top it all off, Konami is blocking random strings of IP addresses from accessing the shops and even the game. Most people I’ve spoken with have had major trouble playing MGO over the past few days. If things like this keep happening, I’d expect people to stop playing Metal Gear Online completely. Why go through all the hassle when there are online games just as good that work easier?

Write a Comment»Sounds to me like Konami tried to get around paying Sony to sell their DLC on the PSStore. Good Job! I had such high hopes for this game. I was on the fence about the 3 maps for 12 bucks, Now my decision is easy. See ya Kojima… shame.
So in essence, people are paying for nothing? Sounds like the New York subway system.
