I don't even want to buy MGS5. Konami is hands down, the worst company in gaming right now...and NOBODY has fallen harder or faster than they have. Its pretty mindboggling.

I'll buy it to support Kojima.  Now, when they make MGS6 with the current custodian, then I'll skip it.

Kojima doesn't really need your support.  If everything we read was correct, he was drawing a regular salary as opposed to being paid at the end of the project, which is the more typical scenario. That was one of Konami's bones of contention. He was taking a really long time to make the game and getting paid throughout the entire time. So Kojima is sitting on a big fat wallet right now because of the length of development.

So if you buy the game you're really only supporting Konami. So don't feel obligied to buy what is undoubtedly going to be a crap game strictly out of loyalty to Kojima:-)

Splatoon - complete patch notes for version 2.0.0

Splatfest changes.

- In calculating the final results, the winning percentage points (weight) has been changed from 2x to 4x.

Excellent.  As someone who has voted on the less popular team twice, I can only applaud this.

- Inkzooka: Increased the points of turf inked needed to fill the special gauge from 180p to 220p.

- Echolocator: Increased the points of turf inked needed to fill the special gauge from 180p to 200p.

- Killer Wail (the Japanese name for this one is megaphone laser. oh my god.) : Decreased the points of turf inked needed to fill the special gauge from 180p to 160p.

Huzzah for less inkzooka's!  And a big evil YESSSSS! for more Killer Wail  Muahahahahaa!

This is ASS.

I use the inkzooka even though I hate it, I have little choice when I want to use my fave weapon the aerospray. Gimping it even further is out of order. Given me the option of a killer wail then, please. Fuck heads.

Polygon's Rare Replay Review....some odd install methods for the game:

If there's anything questionable about Rare Replay, it's the way that the games are structured on the Xbox One hardware itself. That is to say, Rare Replay doesn't install as a single game. Rather, you install a core game with 21 titles included, and then nine more — Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo: Elements of Power, Viva Pinata, Jetpac Refuelled, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts — install separately as individual titles. This is because these inclusions are the Xbox 360 versions of each of those games, running off of Xbox One's new Xbox 360 backward compatibility functionality.

The install process is a little odd and maybe overly complex, but what's really concerning is that it seems like — at launch, at least — these Xbox 360 titles may not all run perfectly on the Xbox One. We ran into some framerate issues with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Perfect Dark Zero in particular. We weren't able to compare these to performance on the original Xbox 360, but regardless it's disappointing to see a few of the games in this collection running so poorly on much more powerful hardware.

But that means if you already bought those on 360, you should be able to play them for free on XB1 via the backwards compat. Making the collection disc be worth a lot less.

Konami story

Maybe the most shocking part of the report, though, is the treatment of game developers deemed unessential. Junior and senior staff alike can be reassigned as security guards, assembly line workers, or cleaners for Konami's fitness clubs. This lines up with a 2013 report from a 40 year-old developer at Konami who was tasked with disassembling old pachinko slot machines at their factory.

LOL

And:

Money might be the reason that the relationship between Konami and Kojima Productions soured. Nikkei says that Metal Gear Solid 5's development cost over $80 million, presumably due to the game's numerous delays. That figure presumably doesn't include the money Konami is spending on worldwide marketing.

Wow

It's still really good value whichever way you look at it.  To buy cartridges of some of those N64 games is impossible now.  Conker would set you back triple figures.  This is worth it for those alone

Maybe Kojima was trying to fuck Konami over for all the dumb shit they do to his co-workers, and said fuck this ship is going down, why not milk every last drop?

After the SNES I made a conscious choice to keep all the games I loved and I've done pretty well out of it, aside from a few I now miss. Waverace Blue Storm and Luigi's Mansion being 2.

So no one has really got back to me on the weekly Mario Kart hour regarding preferred times or days - whether you even want to continue it?

So I'm in two minds as to what to do tommorrow? Do the same time or just leave it to die?
