Can't argue with a word Yahtzee has to say about the game: Great little teaser of what's to come and it's got me all frisky for PHANTOM PAIN next year, but the price tag combined with the actual play time are a bad joke. It'd sting a bit less if there were a boss battle or a longer teaser or, literally anything, but this does just feel like the prologue level cut off on short notice and sold as if it were something more.
As for everyone being upset about the content for its sheer offensive content: If the whole point is to violently break with the tone of Peace Walker, literally gutting, abusing and raping the left-over protagonists are at least a brutally honest and meta way of accomplishing the end goal. The simple fact that we're all numb to video game violence means the introduction of something worse was inevitable. Short of Skull Face eating live babies or something, I'm not sure what more could have been done to put the audience in the role of actively hating him.
US price on PS33/360 versions is $20/30 (Download vs Physical), and PS4/XB1 is $30 across the board. Packaged versions were set at $40 initially, but lowered shortly before release. No clue what the prices are in Australia, though I'm sure they aren't any lower...
