Man, I am deeply concerned with what Konami releases next, and that's for any of their IP's. Metal Gear Rising, Solid V and Castlevania LOS, will we ever get to play a worthwhile AAA game from these franchises again? :(

^^Saw a big fuss over that on facebook, but people obviously don't seem to be aware that pachinko machines are a big business in Japan, and practically every franchise worth a damn has a tie-in. Konami putting out a Metal Gear machine is nowhere near the ugly trespass people are making it out to be.

^Sorry OL but you must have not been on the internet this past year.

We have to hate everything Konami does no matter what and not give it any rational thought. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't embarrass yourself anymore.

TBH every topic discussed just about anywhere on the whole internet seems to end up like that. You HAVE to either love or hate something. You DEFINITELY cannot like something but then also say good things about a competitor! Divisionism FTW!

TBH I'm largely basing my (kinda unfair) comment on the comment sections of website versions of print media! :lol:

I maintain that it's just a vocal minority. For every person who got pissed that there was no women in Assassin's Creed there was 30 people who shrugged their shoulders. Sure you have toilets like the Youtube comment sections but most places like forums show most people are level headed as you can't build a community with idiots (apart from Yorkshire). This place for example over the years has had the majority of people be quite rational but then we always have the odd idiot who will make a post like it's the end of the world when someone like Konami, Square or EA do something that isn't 100% what they wanted.

I heard Colin Trevorrow while doing press for Jurassic World talking about how he went to the Universal execs after the first trailer for the film was getting a lot of hate. To summarize they said something along the line of. "The trailer isn't for the people moaning about it, it's for the people we need to convince to see the film. All those people moaning will see it anyway."

This place did cross my mind as being pretty special and unique in that regard, so much so that the sorta thing I referenced is usually stomped on pretty quickly!

System Shock 2 is free when you try out the beta version of GOG Galaxy. Phenomenal game- I recommend getting some mods for it such as Rebirth, SHTUP, ADaoB, and Vurt's Hi-Res Space (unless you like the nostalgia factor of just a black background with white dots).

Great modding guide for SS2 (Very easy process)

I'm late to the party, but GOG is having its summer sale right now and you can potentially earn some free games.

Awesome deal for Corpse Party. Has a small art book and 2 disc soundtrack as well. OOS but they will ship when its in stock. Def pick it up if you want something different to play, totally worth $20. I think I paid 30 for mine on sale few months ago.
