Pachinko.

More pachinko

Probably continuing to work on the scheduled maintenance that the game's servers are undergoing.

Who fucking thought this was a good idea. We're in time period where they have social marketing teams to learn what people want and they still fail to even manipulate people idk liking it.

They could have even made the game GOOD and it would still have this backlash. What were they thinking.

How delusional you have to be

Because instead of analyzing what people want, they rather make something and attack everyone who doesn't like it.
Too bad it doesn't work.

OHNONOONNONOONONO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BTFO KOJIDRONES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would feel so fucking happy they failed, but I also feel so angry of how fucking bad they handled the fucking game in general ugghhh

Nothing worthwhile.

Because nobody on the social marketing teams enjoys video games as a hobby, so they don't understand people who do.

>Y-YOU ARE ALL KOJIMADRONES FUCK OFF
>SEE GUYS? IT HAS CUTSCENES, KOJIMADRONES BUY THE FUCKING GAME
They are so desperate.

Theres an issue with steamstats for the game

What a shame. I hope this doesn't kill MGS as a brand. Just get some current gen ports of MGS2/3/PW and idk toss platinum on rising two

MGS needs to be put out of it's misery, what we've been seeing for years now is a grotesque reanimated corpse that just wants to fucking die already

Metal gear Holocaust

Pachinko then death most likely

>The server is undergoing maintenance
for fuck's sake reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It's dead Jim, there's really nothing you can add to the whole Big Boss/Solid Snake story arc.

Even 5 was a spin-off of the canon at best.

Metal Gear white genocide

isn't the game in maintenance right now?

>b-b-but that's cause of MAINTENANCE k-kojimadrones!
Funny. MGSV is in maintenance too but you can still play it.

Find all current popular troupes in gaming throw them in a pot, boil out all the flavor and originality. Slap metal gear logo on it.
Make profit off a half baked game.

Imagine a situation where you can print out easy sequels to a series by just copypasting the gameplay programming across titles and only have to make new maps and you decide "nah fuck that, let's make a Zombie game literally no one asked for"

The only bigger faggots than the people trying to bait with this are the faggots who fall for it

You could use the mechanics from the Fox Engine for just about any sort of action/adventure game and they chose the lamest fucking setting possible.

Maybe it's Konami secretly giving the middle finger to people who actually care about MGS.

You can play MGS5 single player during a maintenance since it's unaffected.
You can't play Survive during a maintenance because single player and co-op are fully integrated.
Therefore Survive has a lower player count than the MGS5.

Fucking rocket science, man!

>You can't play Survive during a maintenance because single player and co-op are fully integrated.
You say that like that isn't precisely what is funny about it.

The whole gameplay system was build around it. Do you guys do this to any other online game when it goes into maintenance?

"No ones playing this online game when its offline!" - You, thinking it's some kind of 'funny' and 'epic' 'joke'. I can't believe some people here think it's a lack of interest in the game.

You can integrate single player and co-op and still have a backup offline mode. Other games manage to do that much at least. The reason they don't is microtransactions.

>The whole gameplay system was build around it.
Again. That is what is funny.

They'd better do fucking something with their Zone of Enders(TM) IP that has
NOTHING
to do with zombies

>You can't play Survive during a maintenance because single player and co-op are fully integrated.
Single player has nothing to do with coop

Zonebies of the Enders coming next year.

>The whole gameplay system was build around it.

Hah, remember when Diablo 3 did this and everyone thought it was ridiculous to have a mostly singleplayer experience be forced to have online connection at all times?

We have now come to the point where people will say "It's perfectly fine" with a straight face.

No, you're just moving the goalpost.
>"haha no one's playing the game, Konami is finished"
>but it's maintenance time, for an online-only game
>"hurr that's the point, I was only pretending to be retarded"

Hopefully nothing.
I just want them to auction off all their IPs, abandon the video game industry, and spend their existance making pachislots of popular movies.
I don't even give a fuck if castlevania falls to some shitters like From or not. Anybody But Konami.

Why? Why is it funny to you?

Your base has materials, your teams go on missions, and the game in general plays according to real time. There is nothing wrong with that. When it's offline, it's not keeping track of that.

You know what, keep going "LOL CANT PLAY THE GAME OFFLINE LOL" all you want. You're the one who looks dumb.

And as dumb as people who think people aren't playing the game because they don't want to.

Someone at Konami actually thought "you know what Metal Gear needs? Zombies!"

People cheated like FUCK in phantom pain, I'm glad it's online only now. That's what you cheating fucks get.

because they know some people are gonna eat shit

>Playable mother base assault!

Death

>moving the goalpost
Re-read that post. >but maintenance - (You)
>Funny. MGSV is in maintenance too but you can still play it.
>but you can still play it
>can still play it

>you're moving the goalposts because my brainlet mind missed the implication that you fully understood survive is online-only and mgsv isn't

These people are kind of legitimate in their claims though. Metal Gear Solid has been fucking ASS since 3. Everyone knows this. The story doesn't become convoluted or retarded until 4, Peace Walker and V. Basically, everyone who's been playing since then has seen through Kojima's bullshit and after the disappointment of V has had ENOUGH.
Then, he makes a new game Death Stranding and it's been like THREE FUCKING YEARS and all we've seen is fucking CUTSCENES.
They just face palm at these fucking "new" retards who are smitten by Kojima like they were and want to prevent it from ever happening again.

I'm glad you Kojimafags are BTFO by this shit so your 2deep4u stealth FPS can finally die and video games can go back to being video games.

Stop pretending like the first post in this thread isn't bait for people to think no one plays Survive.

Actually you know, it becomes increasingly less funny when people unironically defend always online DRM for singe player campaigns.

>listening to E-Celebs
This is what Sup Forums has come to.

People need to stop cheating then.

It is, but it's pretty weak and will be explained as a joke immediately. The best part is before maintenance it was at around 4k players anyways. Which isn't that much better.

If you really wanna discuss the fact that not nearly enough people are playing Survive, that's also a thing

can still cheat online in that game you shitnigger retard

except the fact that all of your items, materials, and character levels are shared between the two modes
If you were allowed to play the single player offline that would mean that all that data would have to be saved locally, and it would be easy to manipulate

and no, freezing a few values like stamina or hunger in cheat engine is not the same

Hehehhhe. Cheaters. Yeah. They're the problem...

They are, they ruined Phantom Pain's post-game for me.

time to kill castlevania once and for all

Why are there 400 people idling in a game that's not up and running?

>They could have even made the game GOOD and it would still have this backlash. What were they thinking.

Thanks for summing up the mentality of the haters, and showing that whatever they would have made, the kojis would have hated it anyway.
So from Konami's point of view, they might as well just make a fun survival sci-fi game.

>fun
Well, they failed at that.

Shut up you dumb cat suck my dick

All player information except for SV coin is stored locally lol

This is genuinely a good question. Game had about 4000 people before it went down for maintenance, still has about 400 people sitting there even though can't play the game? A bit suspicious.

>hey konami, faggots keep peeling the paint off the wall in my room, so do something about it
>okay, will this sledgehammer do the trick?
>that's- what?
>BLAMMO! there. problem solved! no more walls to peel paint from and now we can see you at all times! isn't that great? also, we'll open up shop in your room in case you want to buy these goodies!

not "all"
your storage is saved online for example
what's the point of playing the single player if you can't access you stash and can't save the stuff you gather and craft?

You should add
>And we reserve the right to shut down your room for maintenance and throw you out on the street.

It's not suspicious at all. Their game is simply still running even though they can't play. Some are probably alt-tabbed shitposting in this very thread.

Metal Gear Kart

Screenshot this

>Steam
Fuck off shill

Too fun. Metal Gear Battle Royale next.

Selling Silent Hil and MGS to Bethesda, with no survivors

>Death Stranding is an upcoming action game developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4. It is the first game by game director Hideo Kojima and his company following the 2015 disbandment of Kojima Productions as a subsidiary of Konami and subsequent reformation as an independent studio. It was announced at Sony's E3 2016 conference, and has no set release date.

It's been less than two. Stop being a faggot.

because some faggot will savefile mule and ruin multiplayer with it

>What's next for Konami?

Silent Hill hopefully. Survive had some genuinely intense moments like the trek through the forest to the mansion and I'd love to see them take the horror vibes further.

>ruin a coop game
Oh no the humanity. I'll get some free resources and then never see this kid again, whatever shall I do

>KJP and Metal Gear veterans try to make a decent game out of a really shitty idea
>they ACTUALLY succeed, and even manage to undo some of the faults of MGSV
>Konami decides to tack on a multiplayer mode last minute
>once again, the devs step up to the task and perform admirably
>not satisfied, Konami runs the entire project into the ground with obnoxious microtransactions and always online requirements

why is Konami like this

Selling Silent Hill to Capcom and Metal Gear to EA. Any survivors?

>The story doesn't become convoluted or retarded until 4

It's arguable that the retarded shit started in 2. Like having a katana fight against the ex-president of the United states who is also a clone of Big Boss in a doc-ock suit, and then descending into the crowd of faceless masses who don't notice the white haired pretty boy in the skin tight spandex and the muscled hunk with the bandanna standing in the middle of the street having a long chat about the meaning of reality and their place within it.

Honestly, as much as I give the devs props for trying, the game is really jarring. You can tell where the assets from MGSV end and Survive begin. Animations, for example, feel really weird. You have quality movement imported from MGSV, but the melee weapons all feel really stiff and jerky.

>obnoxious microtransactions

the prices are obnoxious
their effects aren't
in fact almost all of the things you can buy are completely useless
to the point where they'd benefit more by removing them altogether and gain some positive coverage, and maybe a some new buyers who were fooled by the microtransaction scaremongers

Jokes on you, MGS is pretty good and im enjoying this game a lot.

Metal Gear Solid is pretty good. No joke. Enjoy. Oh... You meant the zombie poking game.

They could always make a game about what Big Boss was doing between Peace Walker and Metal Gear. You know, what we were supposed to get instead of Venom's vocal chord parasite adventures featuring five minutes of actual Big Boss.

>and then descending into the crowd of faceless masses who don't notice the white haired pretty boy in the skin tight spandex and the muscled hunk with the bandanna standing in the middle of the street having a long chat about the meaning of reality and their place within it.
Given that Arsenal Gear had just crashed into wherever it was, I don't think they were the biggest concern to people at that moment.

Holy fuck this post is embarrassing.

But the multiplayer is the good part and the singleplayer sucks dick, and the microtransactions aren't even as bad as those in TPP.

Yes. It was Kojimbo San

Porting the Legacy collection to Steam

>MGO2 on PC

Gimme.

Not delusional at all. It's called shitposting. You say things you know will piss people off, people get pissed off, you win.
