Now I imagine Jim Sterling sitting in his desk chair going "I fucking told them so about all this stupid shit years ago, they didn't believe me..."

Seriously fuck Konami, I'm giving up on them, they never improved!

Looking forward to the third or fourth(?) video about Konami from Jim.

Let me just repost this on the new page:

Konami did a DMCA takedown to that Super Bunny Hop video we were talking about a few pages ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMK-kajdgMA&feature=youtu.be&a

[up]Then do. Just buy it used so Konami doesn't get shit.

Edit: On second thought, still buy it used, but do give Konami your actual shit.

You're going to be able to.

That one hasn't died.

It'll be the last project Kojima is going to be involved with at Konami.

TBH, the biggest loss for me isn't TPP.

It's Rising 2.

Then again, at this point, Konami will likely piss on that game too by taking it from Platinum and giving it to Ninja Theory or something.

[up]Konami doesn't own copyright over psychological horror and fog, so Kojima and del Toro just need to pitch the game to an actual good publisher and get Akira Yamaoka to get the game back on track.

See to it that they throw Easter Eggs that essentially serve as big, fat middle fingers directed at Konami and you've got yourself a deal! evil grin

To me The biggest loss ain't TPP or Rising but rather Zone Of The Enders.

Metal Gear is a tired song, which even it's creator is sick of. Meanwhile Zo E was something Kojima had been desperately looking to do again.

I really want to buy The Phantom Pain on PS 3, but... well, the Kojima thing is one thing, but now they've moved onto a smaller content creator who I really enjoy. I can't entertain the idea of buying it new any more, which I was legitimately thinking of doing. I don't want Konami getting a filthy claw on my dosh.

I know The Phantom Pain is going to be a damn nice game, and by the time it comes out I might be finished with both Peace Walker and 4. When it comes out used, it's going to retain its high price, especially where I come from. I also want to support Kojima Productions, but I don't think I want to drop a solid $60 as a donation to KojiPro and then drop god-knows-how-much on a used copy. I am a poor guy.

This situation really sucks. They had better pay Kojima well for this.

I really don't get what Konami sees in this bullshit behavior they've been going with. Without Kojima, their last big-deal dev, they're dooming themselves to eternal pachislot irrelevance, if not outright corporate implosion.

I sure said that!

I wonder if Konami's even aware that their house is falling down around their heads by their own hands.

They're literally playing the fiddle while Rome burns only they set Rome alight and don't even notice its all their fault.

Maybe they don't think they need anything other than Pachinko machines now?

Which is dumb. They're not SNK, they're not in financial dire straits.
