Topic: Konami's Approval Rating

[narkolepsi]

I don't know how I made it past this one college semester years ago.... GoldenEye007, Mario Kart, Pokemon Puzzle League, and Dr.Mario64 made my friends and I very, very, bad students. xD

I still have a soft spot for Pokemon Puzzle League... as well as Pokemon Puzzle Challenge for the GBC. Fun times.

I'm really regretting ever making this one little hyperbolic quip about the FPS gaming element now...it seems to have completely derailed the entire thread at this point.  I'm gonna drop it now, as it was never my intention to throw my hat into the whole East vs West gaming debate.  If anything I was trying to show how dumb and irrelevant that whole argument actually is.  A good game is a good game.  There have been plenty of them made in both the east and the west, using conventions pioneered by both.  All the fuss over who is using more conventions from which country is just silly to me.

I stand corrected then. Last thing I'll say on the topic is this: Breakdown was not mainstream. It was received pretty poorly.

EDIT: Wait. It was received badly in America. In Japan, it was like, the best thing since seafood.

Well it seems we have reached a verdict.  Konami has been awarded a negative approval rating of -41.9%.  Thanks to all that participated.  How shall we express our discontent?

Nice letter there Cecil-Kain. But to make it more impressive and really deliver the impact you should add in those little statistics that all these major corporations ogle over. There would be no way that they would ignore such a professional and complex letter unless it gave them a complex just from glancing at it.

You should add that a port of HD isnt satisfactory either

I strongly disapprove because the lack of Castlevania and the excess attention to Kojima. As an aside, I don't think Castlevania will ever be the same without Yamane's music style in the game. LoS music was so terrible. It made me want to pour holy water in my ears.

[cecil-kain]

Thinking about posting my sig on Konami's Facebook page....  Maybe I should wait for TGS...  just in case...

[narkolepsi]

I did make an angry post on their Wall, actually, but then I chickened out and deleted it.

Yeah, something tells me it'll just be ignored, or you'll get a lot of troll responses. If you're lucky they'll listen and call IGA back from his hermit's shack and get him to produce a new game, and give him greater fundings than Kojima.

But one can only dream so much...

Deservedly so. Many of the opinions on this forums are ridiculous (IMO). You've basically got a bunch of people who just flat out refuse to enjoy anything Cv unless is a carbon copy of every Cv that came before it. And when yet another carbon copy is delivered, those same people do little but bitch and complain about how nothing new is every done with the series.

If I were Konami, I'd think the lot of you were nuts, and had no actual clue as to what you really want.

No, if we want Cv to never evolve past Iga, and his atrocious story elements, then by all means, give it back to him. And if that does happen (God forbid), he'll make another carbon copy metroidvania game, just like we've seen for the past 15 years. No thank you. Not saying I wouldn't play it, but I MUCH prefer the new direction. I've been playing Cv from day 1, Iga needed to go. He had done all he could with the series.

and give him greater fundings than Kojima.

Seriously? 

Dream all you want, MS is here to stay (at least for the next 2-3 years), and no amount of useless bitching is going to change that. You can either support your favorite series, or continue complain that it's not yet another carbon copy.

It's a videogame people, not a religion (well, perhaps for some, at least in their hearts, Cv is a religion)

That's a pretty ignorant generalization, and not true at all. But I guess it makes sense that it seems that way from your point of view.

Obviously you didn't understand that my post was a joke, homedog.

And religion? I'm not even close to thinking about Castlevania like that. I'm a bigger fan of the Resident Evil series, in all honesty. Metal Gear, on many occasions, is a game I'd rather play than Castlevania.

I honestly don't care for the direction CV takes anymore. As long as I think it's fun, I'm okay with it.

I only join CV fansites cuz they're the ones with the most sane members. On RE or MG(S) fansites, you'll just get a bunch of people that wanna tear your head off for even saying Leon or Raiden are good characters respectively.

So uhh. Yeah, before you think all I'm asking for is another copy of a CV game and I'm on my hands and knees kissing IGA's feet, learn to read a joke.

So basically we are a bunch of bitchers and whiners in your your opinion.

Way to be a jerk towards the forum while trying to get your point across.

Well, to be fair, he's kinda right. We're asking for a little too much.

Wouldn't go as far to call us bitchers and whiners, though. That's a little jerkish.

EDIT: Oops.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

How is it right to call someone eles's opinion mere bitching and whining?

Thats just flat out inconsiderate not to mention completely rude towards the members of the forum.
