nice to see that kojima used his time off from being fired by konami to recharge the ol' batteries so he can really let his inner hack run wild

in spec ops you launch a white phosphorous attack that kills dozens of civilians and you have to walk in slow motion past their seared mangled bodies, including that a of mother holding a child the developer's response to criticism that the scene was exploitative was "a valid way to end the game is to put the controller down and walk away"
right before that scene you are safe behind a wall or something and bad guys keep running at you and you can just sit there forever while the other two people on your team tell you to press the white phosphorous button. if the developer isn't offering a refund, that isn't a choice, dipshit. it is a bad game.

It would have been a much better game if there was any ambiguity about that sequence at all. or just have it at all.

ahahahaha "give me my money back because my feelings were hurt"

it's almost like giving up the implied enjoyment of the rest of the game versus committing a simulated war crime could be a difficult decision?

well games are for children and gamers are nominally defined by being fans of a childrens pastime so therefore you can perform tricks on them that would also normally only be effective when used on children

this isnt difficult

bexause literally ever other kojima game besides mgsv has been a complete, finished package and konami made a huge, public show of trying to pull out of video games completely shortly after mgsv came out.

like him or not kojima's actually pretty consistent and mgsv was a huge outlier with a public scandal attached to it

somewhat related: I know nothing about death stranding so when people talk about it I just visualize Elton John's video for "I'm still standing" except it's "I'm death stranding" and it's Kojima singing, dropping glitter, etc

"I haven't talked much about that, but it was such a difficult time because he was going through a lot last year," Keighley says. He was shocked when he found out – just days before the show – that Konami wasn't going to allow Kojima to attend, and he felt he had to say something, despite the company being a sponsor. "The fact that he finished that game under those circumstances is just amazing. He was locked in a separate room on a different floor than his development team for the final six months of development. He couldn't even talk to them – he had to talk through someone else. That's how that game was finished."

someone designed a game that the developer thinks you shouldn't play, but you should still pay money for, and literal children cannot get enough of this poo poo. they eat it up.

it was the latest

that's it, everyone complained that it was "incomplete" or whatever but it was a typical example because kojima is a hack who wants to make movies but only has the talent to make games
