It's his game and he can do whatever he wants with it. I don't have to play and infact will not play it. I rpesect kojima for his achievemts be it in storytelling or in general game design. But I do not have to celebrate every single decision he makes. He can and should be criticized and this decision is one of them. You'd think that getting positive feedback is what you strive for. You can get positive feedback withou going "mainstream". I guess its like indie bands that get a breakthrough and become famous and then they are accused of being sellouts. Instead of changing game design why dont you just limit how many copies there are? That wil lalso ensure it wont go "mainstream". Anyways liek I said his game his decsions. My money my decision to not get it. If you are getting it I hope that it gives you many hours of fun, joy, or a thoughtful experience. That is all, have a nice week all of you😊
This whole Situation is pathetic.... Good job build a rocket boy. You did it. You burned through all the goodwill you had. I award you no points and no awards.... all this could've been avoided but no. You blame everything unto the community... there's no coming back from that...... takena lesson in humility and honesty and.maybe if yo umanage to pull off a 2.0 release MAYBE a handful of people will care. But you brought all this on yourselves.
This is ridiculous, no wonder nobody found this. I'm all for easter eggs and hidden stuff. But this is just seemingly random so yeah..... no wonder nobody found this.
Man what a time for Horror fans. SH1 remake, Silent Hill F, Resident Evil 9. Blooper also on another project (forgot the name) so yeah. Plus several othe rprojects that are in the works, boy oh boy.
Dont sleep on Katamari guys. I k ow it looms weird and the crontrols are weird. But please give it a try. I promise it's absurdly charming hilarious and a large does of japanaese crazyness. Games like these aren't made anymore these days.
This is why you dont stake your success to a name. What I mean by that is idc if you've worked on GTA or Resident Evil or HalF Life or whateve successful franchise/game that comes to mind. This is just marketing. A game never hinges on one person. Its a team effort. So as soon as you make ond person the selling point you're missign the whole picture. Because even the best Directors or Writers can make a bad product. Add to that when that person dismisses criticism or legitimate questions as trolling and well its a recipe for disaster. Also marketing didn't help since it didn't tell us much. Remember the no man's sky launch where despite hour long interviews nobody knew much about the game? I get similar vibes to that except worse.... Obviously no man's sky turned out to be a successtory (and I hope this one can become one too). But somehow I doubt that this'll be the case.
I know it says little.but the reviews on steam.so far are terrible. Looking forward to reading your opinions on it. But on PC it seems that performance is terrible.
I get not wanting to spoil stuff in trailers etc. But when you obfuscate the nature aof your game then you're doing it wrong. Without a basic outline of what to expect, will increase the chance of people being disappointed. Plus swiping negative oponions and review u der rug by calling them fake and paid for also doesn't help the matter. Why cant devs or publishers just be honest about their products? You want me to buy it right? Then dont lie Nd or hide important stuff. 😑
@BeenGamingSince_83 yeah on the other hand and I think many feel the same on this: I had many great memories with the black ops series and I'll happily keep those in my mind. Don't be sad that sad it's be happy it happened at all. I fell CoD has had so many games now its hard to keep innovating while staying true to the core. Plus the times have changed and so have the sensibilities of us all. Damn now I feel old, like yelling at clouds old 😅
@thebizniznizbiz What makes it even worse is that before that pont the story was actually great. Covert missions is what Black Ops should be since its in the bame. But then they do all this Zombie Hallucination/ Superpower stuff in and it just doesnt make any sense. Cold War handled it a bit better imo.
I don't think I've finished 6.... I remember some sort of underground lab with zombies and a weird boss. Idk the whole story is just confusing an dweird and overcomplicated. So if 7 is more of that then yeah I'm done.
@Bez87 I think the problem with No Mans Sky is that sony put it front and center. Then you had all the interviews where sean murray claimed what you could do. Then the game came out and well alot of things were missing. Now it is a tale of how a dev can turn things around but still. That first impression hurt alot. Yes they are an indie team but they still overpromised, know what I mean. If I decide to make a game by myself and then promise you the world and then sell you a game that does a fraction of what I promised you'd be mad no? What it comes down to is communication. People will misinterpret things but if you use wishy washy language well you're not helping the matter. The no mans sky we have now is worlds apart from launch abd all the more better for it. But not many devs are willing or maybe able to go down that extra 100 miles. Gollum is yet another example of a team that bit off way more than they could chew.
@John_Deacon oh c'mon Gamefreak is an indie studio and Pokemon a barely known Brand giv them a break .
On a seroius note yeah gamefreak need to step up. Personally I look forward to the switch 2 but the way things are going it'll probably be my last console. I dont see the sense in mid generation upgrades to console. In my view better save up upgrade the pc and get components that last longer.... But obviously everyone can decide for themselves.
@Scottyy All I know about it is that a dude that worked on GTA worked on this game..... I mean it seems thats their big selling point. Or I'm just ignorant, in that case ignorance is bliss.
@Nepp67 From the trailer it looked fine. Maybe they'll release a Demo so we can try before we buy. Hopefully the worries are unwarranted. But it feels like Konami really wants this to do well.
@Oram77 To add to your point, Combat was never the strong point nor was it the focus of the entire Series. Silent Hill lives and dies by its atmosphere and deep stories. If the trailers and the writers previous works are any indication, then I dare say that this might become one of the best Silent Hill game, if not one of the best Horror game.the last gameplay trailer looked fantastic and even though I am a scaredy cat when it comes to games like these, I can't wait to see this one through.
cough cyberpunk 2077 launch cough..... Seriously this wool pulling that CDred does is a thing I really dislike about them. Why fake gameplay? Jusf go the cgi bs route that way no one has unrealistic expectations.... or be honest and call it a tech demo from the very beginning.. but no they call it a "gameplay" trailer..... It's getting difficult to enjoy game reveals when so many publishers lie about their product.😒
@Czar_Khastik Breaking news!!! Scientist have now confirmed. CoD Ads in Loadaout menu is indeed the lowest point by several Kilometers.

Switzerland misses aoutnon a lot of these rewards programs so yeah... no loss here when we never had it to beginn with.... though removing stuff always feels bad.
@carlos82 yeah for all the technical bess and whistles UE5 offers, it also often seems to suffer performance from it. Especially if little to no optimization is done. (Idk much about game development nor their engines so, take with ahuge grain of salt. Maybe an entire shaker full).

Am I the only one that just cannot get far into Kojima games? Whether its the metal gear series or the death stranding series. I just cant get far into them. Hours long cutscenes with confusing and overcomplicated stories, along with what feels to me like a lot of author selflove just..... has me rolling my eyes. I appreciate what he did for the gaming industry in proving that cinematic games ar epossible and lucrative. But man it feels like everyone treats him like he's some sort of messiah. Idk....
This and from the sound of it Duskblood are simply not for me. May those who get it enjoy it and may it bring unto you a reprieve from todays hectical world.
@Paramahansa agrred steam is notories for causing issues with ubisoft games due to ubisoft connect causing issues. If I buy a ubisoft game on pc I do so via ubisoft connect and I imagine others will do aswell. So steam is for sure not the complete picture.
@RagnarLothbrok Hmmmmm is it like lies of P/sekiro? With that I mean your only defense option is parrying? If so then I'm gonna have to pass. For souls games im a shield whore so yeah. The only souls game I enjoyed without shield is Bloodborne (which is still my most favorite soulsborne). Also did you have a chance to try AI limit and how would you compare these two? 😊
Lies of P much like sekiro isn't for me. I got to thenpuppet king boss and then gave up. However dsspite thisnLies of P is a fantastic game and im 1000% sure, that the dlc will deliver.

@DennisReynolds In response to your comment #21. I could be wrong but I think they are burned by the likes of johnny somali amd other nuisance streamers. Look at what happened at watazumi shrine (there was an article earlier). I think their worry is not without reason. Sure videogames arent the sole reason ofc. But Japan has seen a fair share of disrespect especially at shrines from certain "tourists". It's only logical to me that they would atleast discuss how media may shape these disrespectful individuals. Ac shadows just happens to be thenlatest and newest game they could've talked about. Its a sad situation but I can understand that theydwant this defacing and destruction of priceless and culturally significant places and objects to stop. Then again im not japanese so thisnis all just my 2 cents. As for the game itself I'm glad it looks and runs great story is fine so far (still havent unlocked yasuke but I cant wait to unlock him). Overall quite happy with it hopefully it doesnt drag on like valhalla did witch I've never finished due to the length and losing me about halfway I guess with its plot. Dear god I did not expect to write whole novel 0.0
@Nepp67 Absolutely. I'm an atheist but never in a million years would the thought of behaving like that at such a revered place cross my mind. Let alone do so on purpose. It is one thing to maybe step a tiny bit out of line because you didn't know, but if people tell you to stop then just stop. I also feel sorry for the staff that have to deal with these tourists. Where has the respect and coppassion for eachother gone? It's just sad.
So according to Soranews24 this is what happened: "The decision comes after years of frustrations on the part of the shrine in dealing with disrespectful foreign tourists smoking, littering, and spitting inside the shrine grounds. At least one tourist was found riding a mountain bike through a restricted area, and the shrine also claims that tourists have stolen omamori, the good luck amulet charms that are sold by the shrine."
I have many words for such behavior but they'd get me banned so I'll leave it at that.
It looks good I'll give it that. But kojimas games just aren't for me. I couldnt get into phantom pain and the first death stranding was way too sluggish and boring for me :/. Nonetheless I hope all who get it can enjoy it
If they bring back sly jak and other older IPs as liveservice games, I'll be done with sony. Why focus on liveservice so much when you could focus on a good product/game first? Helldivers2 didnt succeed because luveservice it succeeded because it is a good game. (I dont like it but that's taste). Make a good game first and foremost. But I feel that sony has kinda lost that "magic" touch. Also games like sly came out at the perfect time for them.
Tried it out and kinda regret not refu di g when I had the chance. Not that the game is bad but its just not for me. Glad people who jump back in or are getting started are enjoying it.

Re: Disrespectful Foreign Tourists Force Closure of Japanese Shrine Fixed by Ghost of Tsushima Fans
So according to Soranews24 this is what happened:
"The decision comes after years of frustrations on the part of the shrine in dealing with disrespectful foreign tourists smoking, littering, and spitting inside the shrine grounds. At least one tourist was found riding a mountain bike through a restricted area, and the shrine also claims that tourists have stolen omamori, the good luck amulet charms that are sold by the shrine."
I have many words for such behavior but they'd get me banned so I'll leave it at that.
