Konami: The Downspiral Shitstorm + The Impossible Task of Winning Back Fans (METAL GEAR SURVIVE) - HIT THE LEVER

Pop-Tart said:
So I typically go on sites like gamespark.jp and 4gamer.net because I like to actually see Japanese game news from an actual Jap perspective (because a lot of weeb sites actually filter out the westaboo aspects of the Japs), and while on one I found this like gem. Look in the bottom by the comments...

Apparently the Japs are not happy either.

They are not happy because Survive is just a full price game for MGO, and recently they are complaining about how probably Konami is going to make it like PUBG

Speaking of that pachinko game someone did a review of it. Spoiler: He struggled to find it in the major pachinko parlors, took a while to find one that had it, and when he got there and the lady looked it up she directed him to the place across the street from a competing company:

Isn't there some regulation over there about having to change out the machines fairly regularly?
 
As if Polygon couldn't sink any lower, it totally does:

The next Metal Gear is still deep and weird

I'm not even going to post the rest of the article, because it is so bone dead fucking stupid, it doesn't bear repeating. They're basically promoting an IP that was stolen from its creator who worked on it most of his life, for a company that completely disrespected the creator and its audience. They tease you with shitty gambling Pachinko machines and go 'lol, were never doing this'. No matter how you feel about Kojima, MGS 2 did predict some things today even if it wasn't fully coherent. He is cut-scene heavy, but tries to innovate gameplay. And while his stories are weird, you have to admit they are original and he usually embraces the camp.

This is just a blatant cash-grab relying on the name only. It only goes to show Polygon's contempt for games, its audience and the industry in general. How this shitty fucking rag still exists is fucking beyond me.

Fair point i suppose, but the amount of salt over a game that hasnt been released yet simply because kojima isnt with the company any more belongs in its own salt thread. infact i'm sorta sure it has one.
 
I haven't played the beta but the store page for it is what I was expecting. A bunch of one star reviews going "fuckkonami" " THIS IS A DISGRACE TO HIDEO KOJIMA!" "I haven't even the played the game but one star" and a mix of 5 star reviews tying to counter the salt.

I have (just now) finished playing the beta for a bit, and its actually quite good, hopefully the quality carries over to the full game.

all I have to say is that, most kojima cocksuckers, are a bunch of petty manchilds.
this game should be judged on its on merits and flaws, but most of the comments I see, are the usual stuff like:
''this is not metal gear'' ''fuck konami'' ''metal gear is dead'', so the usual bullshit nonsense they like to regurgitate, whenever a non kojima metal gear is beeing made.
Remember when they re-revealed this? you could read those kind of comments everywhere.

to be fair, konami did fuck up
 
What will have gone in the $9.99 bin quicker? Survive or Battleborne?
 
I played the beta and I had some decent fun and enjoyed it. Although that might not mean much considering I enjoyed the Battlefront 2 beta and we all saw how that turned out.

It was what I was expecting just more dumb MGO style fun with zombies in the mix. The game can throw a lot of zombies at you at once and if you screw up even one zombie can mess you up. You take limb damage and basically have to repair it like a light version of MGS 3. You also have a food and water meter although it didn't seem to ever get low enough to need refilling during the missions the beta had. Your defenses only last one wave so you need to consider when to place your best stuff like turrets and gun emplacements. You can craft during missions with whatever you can find and scrap on the map. The game also throws side missions at you, both between waves and during them that give you plans for better defenses, resources, ammo refills, and even walker gears.

I could see myself picking this up at some point maybe not for 40 bucks but 30 or so. It depends what the single player campaign is also like.

And so did kojima.
His performance as vice president was mediocre at best.
Yeah, konami acted like a bunch of corporate twats, but kojima himself, thought he was an untouchable hollywood star, that could do all the fuck he wanted, without any ripercussions.

I lost a lot of the sympathy I felt for him being fucked over by Konami when David Hayter came out and revealed that Kojima had been trying to get rid of him for Hollywood talent since MGS3 and basically fucked him over first.

A lot of gamers including me were salty that act 3 (Kingdom Of The Flies) was cut entirely from MGSV but multiple sources have confirmed that it was Kojima not Konami who demanded that act three be cut essentially leaving the game unfinished even though all the voice work was done and it was 85% rendered because it didn't fit his "vision."

Don't get me wrong, Konami acts like a comically evil corporation from a Micheal Moore film but Kojima has always been a pretentious starfucker and it's very telling that the second he got so big he didn't have anyone to tell him no he let his arrogance kill off one of the best video game series ever made.

the whole game is full of questionable choices.
The only thing I save from it, is the core gameplay, which is very fun ( no wonder I have almost 300h on it)
but eveything else is just ''MEH''.
The fact that kojima decided to plaster his name all over this unfinished and underwhelming product, can have 2 interpretations:
1) he did it as fuck you to konami
2) he actually thought he directed a masterpiece and badly wanted to smell his ownn farts.

If I were Konami I would use the fox engine to make a metal gear 1 (not MGS1) remaster like capcom is doing with RE7/RE2Remaster.
MGSurvive and a Rising2 being the Ressident evil7 and a MG remake being the RE 1/2 remasters.
