That was a strange survey. I'm especially curious to know how they picked the games you could choose from when answering what you've been playing lately. Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner was a separate option. Seems really odd. It's a very old game. The HD collection is one thing, but.... Hmmm. Whatever.

I'm not sure what to make of this. They should've asked us to rate the individual games too, not just rate the entire company. I choose 'confused'.

I dunno... I couldn't take this survey seriously. The questions seemed engineered to NOT let you give an honest opinion, but rather be a "tell me what I want to listen to". They also seem too general, and some questions looked like they were specifically made to disregard your opinion completelly if you choose a certain option.

Yay, Castlevania is listed as a future franchise.

Just took it. What an odd survey. As for my status about how I feel about Konami I put Interested (3). I wasn't angry or dissatisfied but not completely happy with how they are handling certain franchises and especially not doing really any fan-service when it comes to anniversary stuff for their games i.e. Castlevania.

anyone else put "other" in the "which games have you recently played" and specified any old Castlevania title in the "specify other" box?
i personally put Dracula X chronicles and Castlevania Chronicles, just to send there a message hoping some else would have done the same

I did it, with Castlevania III, and Contra.

Here we go again.

EDIT: Ok, that one was really kind of vague. Not the sort of survey I was hoping it would be.

Took this test too. I was kind of disgusted when the only Konami CV games mentioned were all LoS games  :P  So I selected the 'other' option and filled it in with Castlevania (Classic genre titles) instead.

I (apparently, I realize as I read your post) got caught up in the moment and forgot I was listing games I've recently played.  I said something like, "Many older games, such as those in the DDR, TMNT, and Contra series, and especially the Castlevania series (my favorite)"
Although...if I were home with my older systems, and if my DDR pads still worked, I probably would have recently played those titles!

Nothing worthy on this survey, except form when you have to choose how do you feel about Konami. I chose confused  ;D

I personally chose strongly disappointed due to how they're handling franchises that aren't named "Metal Gear" lately, and even with Metal Gear they done goofed by C&Ding a fan remake of the original.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Did anybody else think the survey was ultra sensitive? I kept on having to click on "back" because a every once in a while I'd click outside of the survey(and not on the "Next" button) and it would still take me to the next page or say I didn't fill out the blanks I was supposed to. I know it's not my computer, as I don't get that sort of reponse to every other thing(survey, forum posting, websites) I encounter.

Other than that, that was one of the most blandest surveys I've ever filled out. I remember back in the day Capcom had a survey that went into depth regarding it's future and what you want to see. THAT was a good survey... and THAT was CAPCOM!! :o

Mine restarted 2 or 3 times for that reason, I think.
