Probably get dogpiled for this but the MGS games weren't that great, there's so many better actual stealth games to be played. I guess they did well because of how cinematic they were and how different they were?

Legit, Splinter Cell mogged HARD, same with Thief.

There was nothing quite like it when Solid 1 hit and enough was built on its gameplay foundation to expand and keep the fanbase hooked, and MGS2 dropped right when gaming was becoming more accepted as a hobby to be discussed, within the same timeframe as GTA3 and the OG Xbox. It was a comparatively mature experience in terms of content in all senses of the word, and it had production values very few other games outside of RPGs and sports titles (which themselves were also niche-becoming-popular, the latter mostly due to expanding network play capabilities) could match. I don’t think pure stealth or stealth as a mandatory gameplay aspect at all times was really what it ever shot for - there’s a reason every game in the series has a very early dialogue with the player character’s support staff about needing to avoid combat and contact whenever and wherever necessary, only for a few gameplay moments later to inevitably be presented with a firearm.
 
So about two weeks ago when I made that post quipping about how Logan would be collecting nightmare fragments to unlock trauma abilities?

I was fucking joking, I genuinely had not read or seen anything that suggested that would actually be a thing and my jaw dropped a little when Skillup said that shit word for word in his review.

That's how fucking predictable these AAA slop games are.
 
Man it's so weird having grown up as a PlayStation nigga and then just fall out of love with PlayStation now. I think every step of Sony's has continued to increase my lack of desire to ever purchase a PS5. I can handle myself fine with my PS4.

I think its more simpler than that, Kojima is a money hole. So Sony is just cutting their losses. After all the failed live service crap and ram prices etc, its now all about getting more money and cutting all losses.

They should start by making good games.

I don't count GTA 6 yet. That game is purely driven by hype and is getting jewed to fuck by marketing.

I never really played that many games from Kojima, but he always struck me as the kind of person who would rather make movies than games, but feels the need to make games because he wouldn't be able to stick all the themes and topics he want to discuss inside a movie. I think of him as overrated and pretentious, but still skilled at his job regardless.

If I recall correctly, he himself has stated he wanted to be a movie director.

I am so out of the loop. Didn't even know this game was a thing. I guess it was just that underwhelming. Not even a disaster like Concord or just a giant bowl of shit like Dragon Age The Aidsgard but just....meh.

Goodness, that poster reminds me of that James Bond game that came out not too long ago. I don't know if that's a good thing,

MGS did well because it had very refined gameplay. The story has become iconic because of the way its told. It can be stupid at times, but it's carried by cool cutscenes and incredible levels. Splinter Cell is just very janky in comparison and Thief is an immsim, so it's pretty niche compared to MGS. While I don't particularly like Kojima, I can't deny that the MGS series was good. Though, I don't think Kojima was entirely responsible for the series' success.

Judging from Death Stranding, it's obvious that the people who brought us the MGS series don't work for Kojima anymore. I know it's asinine to say this in the Sony hate thread, but Sony made a good call here. This was far from their only good call this year. They also shut down Bluepoint back in February, five years after they made a complete and total downgrade of Demon's Souls.

The executives are in a race against time trying to reorganize the company as best they can before the PS6 is released. Is PlayStation salvageable? Probably not, but at least they're working to fix the problems within the company. whereas Nintendo just gets worse and worse with no sign of improvement.
 
Here at PlayStation we strive for making boring ass third person cinematic games with ugly ass characters, and horrible writing! Remember that 20 year old game you use to play as kid? Well now we remade it, while also ripping the very soul from the artstyle! Whats that? You don't like the last of us? Well too bad because we are remaking part 2! (With even more IDF propaganda!)

Eh? You want brand new games? Uhhhh how about a god of war trilogy remake? How about a god of war without kratos? You get to play a character who had less that 5 minutes of screentime! How amazing!"

Whats going on with the new intergalactic game made by an jewish cuck? uuhhhh stay tuned! For the meantime, heres more games from the horizon series!

Huh? Ratchet and clank? Killzone? Slycooper? SOCOM? Bloodborne? Nigga get the fuck out my face with that shit!

It’s like they’re trying to destroy their empire of games, I mean what the fuck happened to actual execs who grew up playing games? “You will own nothing and be happy”

No they didn't. Their platform has barely any games and yet they decided to pull the plug on a major game from a big name video game director and instead of doing the sensible thing which would have been to partially fund it so that it could at least be multiplat, they just up and practically gave it to their competitor.

Yes, and who told them to go and remake Demon's Souls? Who told them to go and remake Demon's Souls, a game they hated so much they didn't even release it Stateside themselves (they licensed it to Atlus) with no involvement from Miyazaki, Fromsoft or anybody who worked on the original, just so they could jump on the Dark Souls bandwagon when they could have had Dark Souls all to themselves if they weren't so fucking retarded in the first place? Hmm? Who did that?
 
whatever I feel like said:
Bullshit, I refuse to believe it.

Snoy is infinitely retarded and doesn't realize people want to buy disks and giving them the option to do so builds brand loyalty or that all their live service slop games failed miserably, Snoy is californian and barely Japanese now so they will not take easy wins like releasing Bloodborne on PC because of politics

Snoy lost Shift Up by alienating them via politics, Stellar Blade was their best selling game on PC and a piece of the pie is better than none at all and now Shift Up is self publishing Stellar Blade 2

Asha Sharma is an outsider with no investment with game industry politics at all, so her cutting all the underperforming and woke awardbait studios Xbox had proves she is an outsider and only cares about logical business decisions instead of politics like Phil Spencer pushing pride month on everything and tanking Xbox
 
Last Playststion game I ever played was Horizon:Zero Dawn. Ironically not just the last console game I ever played to completion, but also the last Sony exclusive I ever played. I rather enjoyed the combat and the story beats even if it was clearly woke coded.

But then they started cheering how in the sequel they were going to throw out all the major themes of family and motherhood in favor of making the main character a lesbian. And also uglified her to boot. Never even bothered to play it.

Sony is a manifestation of EVERYTHING wrong with gaming. Not just their questionable business practices and predatory monetization policies. Their creative decisio suck ass too.

Snoy is their own worst enemy because the woke shit will simply not sell as much as they would like

When a game like Stellar Blade does sell very well, they alienate Shift Up rather than congratulating and embracing them

Snoy is suicidal and is going to hand Xbox an easy victory

His last two "major games" required a lot of funds and didn't make them a lot of profit. Look at the leaked documents from two years ago and you'll see that Death Stranding did not meet their expectations.

They didn't tell them to make it dogshit. Go compare the remake's art to that of the original before you tell me that Bluepoint wasn't incompetent.

Ending their partnership with Kojima is not a loss by any means. The real loss they've suffered took place a year ago when Nintendo announced that FromSoft would be making a Switch 2 exclusive. They lost an opportunity to publish a real game and gave up the opportunity to publish yet another bloated movie game that exists to feed some pretentious faggot's ego. I bet half the budget of his new game will go to Hollywood actors. Let Xbox pay for that.

I thought we all agreed that Sony needs to stop making walking simulators and movie games. In case you've forgotten, the last two games Kojima has released were literal walking simulators with 20+ hours' worth of cutscenes each.
