Yeah but i’m not touching anything made by “Meta”

This article is so aggressively american that its’ almost racist. ‘a floundering genre.’ There were dozens of turn based RPGs before and after P5.

kotakus gotta kotak

I freaking love Persona 5. But it is wildly hyperbolic to claim it saved the genre

Okay, but like... *dying*? Just a wee bit hyperbolic, innit? lol

It was a “dying genre” because all gaming sites including this one (gaming used loosely for kotaku), keep prattling on about how turn based games need to go away and be a thing of the past, ignoring the huge amount of gamers who love turn based rpgs

I’m honestly a little flabbergasted that somebody could talk about the state of turn-based RPGs in 2017 and not even mention Dragon Quest XI.

“Revived a Dying Genre”? Citation?

I’ll have to go check the context of every line Snake says in MGSV, but I feel like I could replace (almost) every one of them with that clip of Hayter saying “squeeze my hog” and somehow it would still work.

No way Konami would’ve given him the budget for that. I like Kojima, but it’s clear as day that he just wanted an excuse to work with one of his film idols.

I was replaying it fairly recent.... did they cast Keifer for less than a weekend? He’s mute until the big plot twist is revealed the character isn’t Big Boss and explains why he doesn’t speak as much. But still it feel Hayter did more work on Smash Bros codec than they had Keifer working in here. And Keifer is very…

Replacing Hayter was especially stupid considering:

This is the same britain that has a sentence of 15 years for most murder convictions? GTFO

maybe get him a job in pen testing

That’s what he gets for hacking a game company. He should have done a more minor crime, like killing protestors, and then he would have gotten to be a guest political commentator on cable news.

What an egregious and over the top punishment.

Life in prison for leaking a video? Wow...

“It remains to be seen how much of the studio’s recent problems are due to veteran decision makers within Bungie, or new expectations from Sony.”

It is Jason Jones, Pete Parsons, and (used to be) Luke Smith. These problems, these VERY SAME PROBLEMS, have existed since they launched halo on the Xbox.

Upper Management…

Maybe stop tying every fucking thing up in games as a god damned service. Have them make some quality SP games it just may be crazy enough to work

ahaha lol awesome. serves them right for following up Halo with a predatory live service.
