Say something genuinely nice about Konami
>>344474552
They finally stopped making games.
It's a better name than cancer.
They're rather good about porting their stuff PSN and Virtual Console.
>>344474552
They made EA feel better about themselves
They were good onc
>>344474552
They made Love Plus and sequels. Good game for lonely dudes, shame it'll never get another sequel now.
They have the Bemani branch, their only redeeming factor now.
>>344474773
I was surprised to see Contra III and Mystical Ninja make it to the 3DS Virtual Console.Kid Dracula when?
>>344474552
They're killing off the dried husk of a card game finally
>>344475189
what?
>>344474786
>pkeks
Yu-Gi-Oh! still has nice art work on the cards.
>>344475019
Fuck that. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and Goemon's Great Adventure on WiiU when?
>>344475303
They're killing off all of the unofficial ygo simulators without putting out an official replacement, paid or free. This kills the yugioh.
XEXEX is great
they make good games
>>344474552
They're putting a good effort into bringing DDR A overseas.
>>344474552
They make a good ass pachinko machine
I liked almost everything of theirs that made it overseas from about 1999 back.
>>344475506
The have a game out on Xbone and PS4.
>>344475837
>not liking their newer stuff
sasuga anon
>>344475862
Which is 3 banlists behind the current meta and is missing over a year's worth of cards. Simulators had new cards out the day they were announced and had multiple banlists to choose from
>>344476251
They could do a better job with it, but it's hardly going to kill the series.
>>344476351
People have no way to deck test future decks any more. People that can't afford to play IRL are just straight fucked, and people that don't have a local store to play at are fucked.
So yeah, konami is doing a great job at murdering their dead game.
>>344474552
They released an HD collection of my favorite series silent hills
The continually supported the franchise with titles like book of memories and downpour
They even made a pachinko themed silent hill for the hardcore fans
They gave us a taste of what a current gen silent hill game would look like.
They own a lot of really well loved intellectual properties.
>>344474552
Yugioh Forbidden Memories
>>344476548
How many people who play unofficial games do you actually think bought physical cards and how many of those will now stop?
Probably not many, or at least not enough to make their own official games redundant.
>>344474552
Rocket Knight Adventures is still the best mascot platformer
>>344476694
AND THEY WONT DO ANYTHING WITH THEM BUT MAKE PACHINKO MACHINES
>>344474552
they are not ubisoft
>>344475451
NEVER EVER, because Nintendo doesn't know how to emulate memory cards.
MGSV was great
I really liked suikoden series
contra, super contra, contra 3, TMNT
>>344474552
Still make Yugioh cards I like
>>344474552
Silent Hill 2 is still the best survival/horror game of all time.
>>344476956
I don't understand the obsession with perpetual sequels anyway. Why can't shit just end?
>>344477067
If it had an extra year it wouldn't have collectively triggered the headcanon community of MGS. Game mechanics were near perfect tho
>>344474552
They made the best games of the 1990's
They created the objectively GOAT game.
>>344477206
Yugioh died for me when they kept introducing shit new card types and the anime started being played on motorbikes
>>344474552
They hold the licence of one of my favorite video game series;_;
They gave us the best videogame development studio in existence.
>>344477327
>Game mechanics were near perfect tho
I disagree, though the game is good for what it is.
>>344477327
who cares what a bunch of autismos think. V unanimously praised everywhere outside of 4 chan, and spending a whole year to marginally improve something that has almost no relevance to what makes a game great is a retarded idea
>>344477681
>treasure
>good
only made one (1) good game in their entire existence
>>344478426
Which game is that?
>>344477885
I feel as tho the game was specifically designed for varied approaches and replayability, but it wasn't until I picked it back up a few months after that I realized this. I sped through it the first time but the second run was so much more fun.
>>344477903
For me the story was a bit of a let down but I didn't expect much from that period of the canon anyway. What pissed me off most was how they seemed to have learned nothing about reusing areas and having varied mission approaches from GZ. Either they were super rushed or kojima wasn't 100% into it.
The dance dance revolution games were genuinely fun and had great soundtracks
>>344478693
My issue is that the varied approaches result in a game that just isn't very well-balanced, and this is made more egregious by frequently lazy level design. But that's why I said it's good for what it is: despite the trailer's lip service to being "A NEW BREED OF STEALTH" it's clear that MGSV wasn't about sneaking in particular so much as just giving the player a lot of options in a big sandbox. It's also why the level design and mission objectives are so limited.
I think the game largely achieves what it wants to do. It's not terribly appealing to me, though.
>>344477453
I just collect them for the art.
>>344474552
They handle their japanese card game way better than any other company
>Everything has support and is given their time to shine
>Isn't afraid at all to murder decks no matter how much money they make them or how popular they are
>Spaces out their Iconic support really well so it never becomes "Not this faggot again" but instead is "Oh hey that guy is back"
>Makes new mechanics that doesn't awkwardly clash with the old things
I mean like I still stress the not perfect part but every other company... Every other company with their own card game(s) does the inverse of one or more of those four and their shit becomes incredibly easy to lose interest in.
>>344478579
Alien Soldier.
>>344478693
Kojima made Quiet ugly on purpose, she is the 'so ugly you die alone' cliché
>>344481981
But not Gunstar? Not Makyo Toitsusen? Sin and Punishment?
They fired Kojima so he could finally form his own Outer Heaven
>>344482140
I don't think Joosten is attractive at all.
I might be dumb.
>>344482295
>Gunstar
Shitty level design.
>Makyo Toitsusen
Broken as fuck infinites.
>Sin & Punishment
Autoaim turns the game into a cakewalk.
>>344482550
They have issues, but they're all good games.
>>344474616
Konami code
>>344482717
But not good enough to claim they're the BEST DEV EVER!!!
>>344478579
Guardian Heroes.
>>344476591
>all of those things
>good
Pick one and only one. Konami has been raping the franchise since Origins.
>>344474552
TMNT Turtles in Time was and still is the shit.
>>344474552
They aren't the worst group starting with Ko ever
>>344482346
nah, it's called refined taste.
RKA is the best platformer ever made
>>344477327
>Game mechanics were near perfect tho
I agree. Stealth gameplay doesn't get much better than what we got in MGSV, it's just a shame we probably won't ever see it implemented in any future games.
>>344474552Hi
>>344483093
more like equine taste
>>344474786
>less games is better
watch those edges bro
>>344483376
NOT finding Joost attractive is refined.
>>344483376
So I like big butts and thighs.
You gonna shoot me for it?
>>344477681
Ikaruga is a garbage meme game.
>>344478579
Sin and Punishment
I am grateful for Metal Gear, Castlevania, Snatcher, Contra, and their K-1 games. They made enough great stuff to last a lifetime so whatever they do from here is fine.
They made awesome games in the 80s/90s.
>>344474552
I can respect their decision to shift their business away from videogames for the time being. There's no solid money in them and Kojima likely ate through their reserves horrendously.
>>344484359
Yeah look on the bright side, it could have bee like Advent Rising with Majesco Studios.
lifeforce and gradius 2 had some good music
>>344483670
I'll shoot it for you.
When they finally kill YGO like they've been trying so damn hard to do lately I'll wont have to spend so much money playing 2 card games
>>344484729
Uhhhh
I only use protection big guy.
>>344484497
>>344484943
I said, I'll shoot it for you.
>>344476890
>He doesnt actually know how big of a deal having no online presence for your card game is in 2016
>No more YGO youtubers
>No more YGO streams
>No more playing with OCG cards long before they finally come to america months later
>No more easy Decktesting
>>344485380
We'll always have the games tho. I still emulate world championship 2006 on a daily basis
their old logo was cool.
>>344485280
oh fug
just got that
>>344485659
I can't play with the same cards foreverI complete Sacred Cards twice a year and duelists of the roses every christmas season
They still make pop'n and 2dx
They made this
ninja gaiden 1 & 2 for nes
>>344444444
>>344485030
Kojima blundered through MGSV. You didn't get an ending because production costs went through the roof, and the board of directors got fed up with it.
Japan does not profit off of games. They tread water. Konami makes its actual money off of other things. Like fucking Pachinko. They're thinking like a business for once.
To be fair though. I did like MGS3 the best out of the series.
I still say Kojima either just needs to make a movie, or the industry (and his fanbase) needs to stop enabling the asshole so we can get some games that remember the interactive part of its medium.
>>344484934
You can always just stop, wait a few years, and sell your cards off craigslist or e-bay. Not hard.
>>344487669
mgs 5 made a literal fuckton of money that more than covered the cost of making the game.
>>344474552
I literally never have to think about them again.
>>344474552
They hosted the best E3 conference ever.
>>344474552
They gave Sony the opportunity to acquire Hideous Kojima
>>344487920
But the returns for the amount put in werent nearly as high as all the other buisness they were in
why put in 100k and get 200k out of it when you can put in 50k and get 200k out of it and thats why they've turned to pachinko, they just print money
>>344474552
Sony wouldn't have funded Kojima and his entire team for like 5-6 years to make something fucking insane if not for them giving him a gig all those years ago.
>>344488185
pachinko is dying industry that doesn't appeal to young people in japan.
>>344474552
It was better than nothing.
>>344487920
It was still an incomplete game. It only made the money because the fanbase for the series was hungry for ANYTHING.
>>344488350
They still make a profit. Again, most companies in japan actually don't profit on videogame sales. They profit off of other business while they break even.
>>344474552
Kojima no longer needs to make metaru gearu
>>344474786
>Kojima tries to break the barriers between console exclusives and PC
>Gets fired
>HURRRRRR ANY ONE WHO PISSES OFF SONYNIGGERS IS FINE BY ME XDD
Good thing you proved him wrong by being faggots .
>>344488225
Sony funded Kojima before?
>>344474552
I like their IPs.
>>344485280
BONE?
>>344487669
MGSV has tons of gameplay compared to cut scenes and tapes though. I'd say it remembers the interactivity of the medium pretty well, baby girl.
>>344483284
>you will never be sucked when you press XXX or YYY
>>344486030
he ruined her life...
she really, really liked and trusted him, probably was in love with him.
he never cared how much she cared about him because he only cared about himself.
>>344493282
and now she's part of a huge plot by hiroshimoot to buttplug all the cute girls before the Walpurgisnacht
>>344475619
Yes. They're actually shelling out some dough to get good song licenses and hopefully bring back the DDR scene. Which will totally be rad because then my crippling addiction to this game will be justified.
>>344493452
wot
she died a virgin, probably.
>>344474552
They crafted one of the best games of all time Silent Hill 2, and I am thankful everyday they used to know what they were doing.
