Last June had started circulating a rumor according to which Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain may have had of paid content via microtransactions, and today thanks to a first wave of reviews of the game we get confirmation, discovering that we will have to pay just to start playing the multiplayer segment, the Forward Operating Base .

Update:  Konami has clarified that the MB will be playing guadagnabili Coins .

Original reporting: The news we like Gamespot , whose editor being game review noted that not only you can use real money to buy new resources to build our base (thus a tactical advantage over those who do not will use these purchases), but even entire mode FOB will not be accessible until we made a purchase to unlock the space required to build and expand the base.

The site explains that to start playing multiplayer mode we will have to spend Coins, MB virtual currency within the game to buy space on which to build our base, and that the only way to get the MB Coins is, at least at the moment, buying them with real currency.

The editor explains that, since the multiplayer server off until October , could not investigate further, to check whether all this is somehow optional and how much they cost the MB Coins, so hopefully Konami clearly face the question: we will keep you updated.
