You're uh, straying from the point. It's no secret that Konami's really gone downhill, but the rot started setting in ages and ages ago. Otomedius Excellent's old enough to be on the Xbox 360, and it's a pretty bad game that's aimed towards the crowd that likes loli.
@Celebrate Nite brought up how they kicked Rumble Roses to the curb, and that just happened to be a nice and tidy indicator of Konami's falling quality. How many years has it been since the last good Castlevania? What even is the last good one? Portrait of Ruin, right? Hey, what do you know,
it just happens to be another 2006 release. Konami was at least smart enough to hold off on ruining MGS until 5 was out, but that loli shit was a harbinger of things to come. Imagine that: you gotta appeal to a terrible crowd that's more interested in sticking tits on a six year old than gameplay quality, if you wanna sell your terrible game.
