Case in point: Resident Evil Revelations /2.
A lot like Resident Evil 4 and the older games, and Rev2 has had two waves of free DLC costumes.
Granted, they are all re-used models, but it's free content after release. That's something.

Same example, DMC4 SE.
All of that content and most of its DLC is cosmetics and then there's SFV.

Zelda's importance ****s all over Palutena's and the Metroids.

And this is the part where I drop out of the argument while I still retain my sanity.

 

[Naoshi]

To be honest, the final nail in the coffin for me is Konami's mistreatment on employees.

Okay, they ruin their franchises and reduced them to slot machines or just nothing. That annoys me and saddens me. But I'm kind of used to that, being a huge Sonic and Mega Man fan. It sucks for the fans a lot though.

But buying an entire company but only to disband it and then treat their and your own employees like prisoners? Get bankrupt, Konami. We need less of you in the industry.

[Parallel_Falchion]

Maybe I'm a little late, but I want to pitch in on the whole female Link/playable Zelda thing because it's a subject that's pretty important to me.

I am in strong support of a female player character. This is not the same as just having Zelda be the hero for a game (which would also be cool). Link is an avatar character, the "link" to the player, as many have pointed out, and having Link be male-only, regardless of however many other female characters are in the games, is pretty non-inclusive; it sends the message that boys are the only audience and/or that only men are heroes (the series constantly employing damsel in distress certainly helps nothing). Aside from some specific lines of dialogue and a bit of ship-teasing (but never romance) that aren't important to the story, Link's gender is never relevant. There is literally no reason not to have a female option just like Pokemon has been doing since Crystal.

Someone said it would be like changing Mario to female, but that's not correct. Mario, and others like Samus, Pit, Donkey Kong, etc. are not avatar characters. They are not specifically made to be representations of the player. They are characters with their own name (remember that every Zelda game has you enter your own name for "Link") and, sometimes, personality.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: Link traditionally being male doesn't matter because every Link is technically a different person.

From writing off Kojima's name and is probably gonna run it to the ground after MGSV

It's gonna get worse and we expect it.

I usually never wish that a company goes bankrupt.
I'm making an exception.

Same. I think it's extremely petty to wish a company to go bankrupt because of pissing off hardcore fans by doing something wrong. I mean, even with the Mega Man cancellations in mind, I don't think I would ever want Capcom to go bankrupt or sell themselves. I just want them to have new higher ups or change their attitude. Thankfully the latter seems to be happening a bit with all of those SFV news.

But Konami... I think everyone there would be better off elsewhere. Konami is terrible. Those poor employees, man. I hope many start leaving and follow suit, like some join up with Igarashi and Kojima and whoever else had left.

All I wanna do is play them because everyone acts like it's the best game in the entire franchise
Funny thing is, my cousin has both PoR and RD, but he won't let me even play them smh :/
I just hope I wouldn't be disapointed like I was with OoT

Konami's currently considered worse than EA, Ubisoft, Activison and WB in my books

 

[Schnee117]

What Nintendo should do is package the two Tellius games together and release them on the Wii U (or NX) so people that missed out on them can play them without paying megabucks. Of course that'd mean sorting out the connectivity between the two versions and maybe sorting out the artsyle so they don't look out of date.

I'm unclear, does Activision do anything bad but make Call of Duty?

I personally prefer that art style over the modern FE art style. I don't really see it being outdated, unless you mean the Wii graphics?

Bobby Kotick is an asshole and had some mistreatment on employees, but it's probably not as bad as it was with Konami.

They're money grubbers. Their DLC prices can get pretty insane.

I want to see a Thracia 776 remake but with all the bull**** that made it hard
I don't know why, but the idea of making self imposed challenges to make it as merciless as possible on the so called hardest game of the franchise excites me

I'm kind of half and half on the card designs. For some like Anna, Ranulf, and the Black Knight, they look pretty good or even excellent. Hell, I'd love to have that Black Knight card as a collectable. For others, the style chosen for the card doesn't work well for them. Mist for instance kind of look off due to her face, and the pose and look they used for Cherche is a little off-putting.

How do we know it was Konami's doing to remove him from the box, maybe Kojima didn't want to be assosiated with them in that way for this last game, andhe was done with MGS anyways. He's wanted to stop and pursue other games for a while now. If Konami continues MG and runs it to the ground, oh well, but they could respect what Kojima has done and leave it at the story that he's told. They could possibly do more MGSR games or just use the IP for spinoffs.

Not trying to protect Konami, they treat their employees terribly and have poor ethics, but there are 2 sides to this situation, and I think we are just pegging Konami as the bad guy and not throwing in other factors.

Activision is just greedy, Ubisoft is lazy and WB is both but less insulting.

Not even EA is this insulting.

****ing EA.

Remember when EA won "Worst Company" award?

They have some pretty big competition this year, that's for sure.

Thank you for your inputs.
I don't hear about their misdeeds at all so I didn't know. Don't seem as horribly scummy as EA, Warner Bros. or, obviously Konami though.

I sure hope she meant the Wii graphics. Artistically the Tellius games are masterful.
It gave us the Black Knight.

I like the style but it looks really blurry. I'd also rather it wasn't just an HD port of the games with said connectivity between the two sorted.

EA shouldn't even be "winning" that award. The worst they've done is release broken games, micro-transactions and stuff like that.

okay im going to end the zelda argument here and now

its simple really skyward sword has shown zelda doesnt need to be a pincess so on the reverse why not make link a prince?
now hear me out
game starts you watch a cutscene and link and zelda are hanging ot being brother and sister they stumble onto an acient sword and then you choose your character
BOOM villian of the week shows up and abducts your sibling you pull out the sword that magically changes to suit the character (broad sword for link, raiper for zelda)
the characters are basically the same playstyle wise but the dungeons you go through are diffrent
(the idea being the villain hops through one of 2 portals depending on who you chose)
adventure ensues

and before you say "zelda should always be a spell caster" guess what she can be because the most shes done in actual zelda is shoot an arrow ONCE
meanwhile link is the one who gest the spells
"but zelda became sheik" and did precicely **** all except teach link how to play free bird on an ocarina

point is this is the best way for a female to be playable in zelda...unless we get a tetra spinoff

They did run Guitar Hero into the ground.

And while Live hasn't come out yet, reception from fans has been lukewarm at best.

And Tony Hawk.

And they are trying to resurrect both of them.

Have one? Anna clearly has two.

Too much drama today. Here, have a happy dancing Nopon, it'll make everything better.

Guitar Hero may have honestly been milked more than Call of Duty.

Oh yeah, Pro Skater 5 is gonna be a thing. That's bad enough on it's own.
