weren't metal gear fans mad about revengeance as it was released

yeah there was some weird negativity towards it for until a bit after it came out and everybody realized "wait this is actually a really good action game that captures the feel of metal gear and platinum is good??"

probably still some die-hard fans who get weird about it

I’ve been doing a weekly LP thing on YouTube with a buddy for about two years now and we still average somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6 views per upload, so I think LPs are pretty dead.

Then again we also don’t advertise and it’s just something fun to do once a week. :v:

Very few people do curated LPs of games anymore. You either get streamers giving "wow spoopy!" impressions as they're playing the game or 10-20 minute longform analysis videos after the fact.

Some people got mad about it at the time anyway

I know at least one person in real life who still refuses to play it because it's 'not a real mgs game'.

I think people lost interest when Kojima said that he wasn't specifically involved in making the game but then people became interested again when that one trailer ended with Raiden precisely cutting a watermelon in two.

The old SA school of LP structure is rather dead, but there are still streamers and the like that still have their videos in more of a video LP style, the Best Friends are a big example that come to mind.

Eh, LP's aren't dead-dead. Maybe the ones where you're only advertising to SA, sure. But look up Chip Cheezum et al and some of them have transitioned well to Youtube/Twitch.

I still get the itch to do an LP but I generally only do low-effort LPs of lovely games to show them off to people nowadays. I've been putting off this one Christmas VN I found about the birth of Christ. I keep wanting to do it around Christmas time but then by the time December arrives I'm just like "eh"

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

SSLPs are still the best, because sometimes the editorializing is quite good, and if it's not, you can flat out ignore it.

I appreciate that they're a crazy amount of effort, though.

Konami actually commissioned the original monster designer of Silent Hill to make some poo poo for Metal Gear Survive and the end result in that aspect isn't bad at all actually?

I do think mg survive would have done better with the fans if they just had monsters or maybe gekkos instead of zambies. Rising has endless identical hordes of lovely little robots but that was, I guess, ok with people because they were robots?

But it's true that more variety would be nice

its because its fun to play and an original take on a beloved canon.

I like the zombies, they're all crystal on the inside and break apart in appropriately crystalline fashion when you shoot their limbs off, it's neat. And apparently there are monsters that aren't zombies out there too.

gently caress it, I'm doing a stream. If any of you wanna come chat with me while I play some game about a cat that fights stuff then be my guest. Game's called "Hunter's Legacy." I dunno much about it other than it was cheap on steam and seemed like it'd make for an interesting stream.

I'm glad the nostalgia for dead media is moving on from expensive vinyl back around to disposable cassettes.

Waiting for the Betamax revival tbh. Still have a crate load of Bonkers episodes I can't watch anymore.
