Jack Patton of Bagogames: "I saw Call of Duty(s) come and go over the years, but MGO was the one vice I just could not kick. Until its community and lack of moderation finally killed it off; turning it into a breeding ground to the very worst kind of gamer. "
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.
It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.
Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.
Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.
Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.
That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.
Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.
Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.
All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.
When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.
Here is the online bit

I remember playing Metal Gear Online a few times when I first got MGS4. If I remember correctly you needed at least two accounts just to play it. It was a pain to sign-in and it took forever to download the updates for it.
It's a shame they shut the servers down though, it was quite a bit of fun when I played it. Konami just made it a headache to start it up.
THB I've never even heard of that. An online version of Metal Gear?
i never had the chance to try it even though i bought MGS4 day one in 2008. I didn't have an internet connection at home at that time.
I dont really understand why they shut the servers down. Was nobody playing it ?
It was the best game i have every played, and the worst game i have ever played.
My clan were regulars on Survival mode for a long time but lag switches and glitches started taking the fun out of the game. By the time we quit it wasnt even a game anymore, just people exploiting a system.
It was definitely the best multiplayer experience on the PS3 with its customisation, clan system, and tournament system - which kinda highlights how things have gone backwards this generation. Games like MGO and Killzone 2 came loaded with features to keep ingame competition flowing, whereas newer titles are stripped down and missing the basics.
Why talk about something that's been shutdown.
It was sabotaged day-one by their own methods, but its still shutdown now.
