Hiring kiefer alone must've been half the budget, and halfway through the development they realized that it was a mistake as big boss could be considered a mute.
Been saying that for a year now, the hate for konami is not really justified.
Ever since they've focused on pachinkos their business seems to improve.
I was just playing MGSV, and i can't imagine how much money it must've costed konami.
You're not supposed to do that in their turf...
i'm pretty sure IZJS is not out yet...
with the exception of online arcade, all of those games are available physically.
Emulation is fine if you have a legit copy.
so as i understand it, some devs are incapable of physical publishing, so its ok to pirate their games? what kind of logic is that?!
bb-b-b-but nintendo...
you're right, all the forzas and halos.
The only exclusives xbox has are Phil Spencer's statements.

and that has to do with...?
f2p garbage and p2w crap doesn't really count as normal games.

My other source of entertainment other than games is books.
So yes, i am a saint.
EDIT: sure, proce...
which was pirated in the millions. do you believe devs don't deserve the money for those millions of pirated copies?
Pressing matters don't mean we should ignore stealing. Stealing is cancer of society.
"bbbbut japanese support will be amazing"
right... how pathetic.
pc gamers are whats wrong with the world!
as long as xbox doesn't go under!
Different times, man! They either lost talented people or lost vision. Their games are considered niche now, none of the new generation of gamers know what 'Contra' is, and taking risks nowadays ends in 2 ways, either success or failure which bankrupts the studio.
