@Dezzy To be fair, I think Kojima was kind of losing it as Konami pushed him around and messed with him, but that was also partly his fault for spending unlimited amounts of their money for unlimited amounts of time with no return....he's a one man development-heck. I wonder of Sony does a better job reigning him in.
4, IMO was just kind of "meh"......4 was supposed to be the conclusion, but I think after 1-3 he started going off the rails (Peace Walker was ok...but I played it on PSP so that limited my enjoyment as the flesh was rended from my thumb ) I felt like I was playing 4 to see more movies rather than the movies being a compliment to the game. 5....the opening was REALLY out of place and didn't belong. Ground Zeroes was good until the ending went waaaaay off the rails (and it was a $40 prologue), from what I've heard from spoilers of 5 the story goes even MORE off the rails (I take it as Kojima's middle finger to Konami for not wanting to do MGS anymore), but the gameplay is very well designed for the first half...then clearly stapled together from scraps when the budget ran out in the second half.
Kojima's too ambitious. I think he was at his best pushing limited systems to do big things rather than pushing big systems to do really big things. Which makes me very wary of Stranding. A game already years into development, and that demo wasn't terribly inspiring so far.
@NEStalgia Two-and-a-half years so far, so I'd say it's pretty impressive what they'vd got so far. Especially since they got the current engine a bit later. If it's a 2019 game, it has been a pretty short development cycle.
@MisterPi I don't think we got a year. I imagine it's PS4 though since this was a PS4 showcase and it was introduced for PS4 originally. Even if it also releases on PS5 Im certain it will play on PS4 (like P5 on PS4/PS3.)
@Octane If it were a 2019 game we'd have seen a lot more footage....and it's Kojima.
@Ralizah I think I paid $20...but I was desperate for SOMETHING to play on my PS4 that had no games. But all's fair in love, war, and video games. I paid them $20 for the prologue, and $0 for the final release thanks to XBLG/PSN
LOL Sony's sales evoke those same feelings of reckless consumerism that Steam sales used to inspire in me. And then I remember that those games would go straight to my backlog and I'd just be out some amount of money that I could have used on a newer game that I'm actually excited for.
@NEStalgia $0? I have to know where you're getting free PS+ subs.
@Ralizah I went the other way around.....Sony has so many sales, but I've kind of converted to :Sony for Exclusives, Nintendo for everything I can get for it, and X1X for everything else. So I ended up rebuying things I bought on PS4 in January's sale on XBox's summer sale BUT I'm more confident my purchases are in for the next gen with them...I even picked up some OG XB games I last played on PC 13 years ago since they're now enhanced....so I'm going BACK through my backlog, adding all the game I missed in the last 5 years and all the games I miss from 13 years ago (I really want to play AC 1 and Jade Empire again.) BUT There's not that much more from that backlog timeframe I want, so I figure I can now coast into the end of the gen on what I bought, and by the time the new gen comes out all the new E3 games will be $15 and I can rebuild the log! I can hold off on this gen until the inevitable mid-gen refresh comes out for the X2/PS5! (Plus $60 for everything Switch because Nintendo Tax.)
Hah, not a free PS+ Sub, but I've saved enough on PS+ discounts that they've already paid me to take it Not as much with XBLG, sadly.
@CanisWolfred If you like stealth "third person sneakers" they're worth playing. If you love movies and feel unsure of video games as a medium they're worth playing. If you want to know what the $#@$@# you just watched, just steer wide.
I still think everyone owes it to themselves to experience the paranoid po-mo weirdness of MGS2's final act first hand. That game gave me a worse scare than any survival horror game ever did.
Currently Playing: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PC); Unicorn Overlord (NS)
Haha wow that's really cool. I really love how we went from the announcement that the game was greenlit 2 years ago with no info until now and it's right around the corner
Reminds me now that I've moved out, I should re-try the VR now that I have the space to enjoy it properly. Should organize a game night with Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
