He started off in Nintendo as a programmer. Usual anecdotes I hear is that he rewrote Earthbound from scratch, ported the Pokemon battle code to Pokemon Stadium in a week without documentation, and after Gamefreak filled up cart space for Pokemon Gold/Silver, he compressed their work enough to allow for more content to be put in. Super smart dude, yet so humble. Really sad to read about his passing, 55 is a little too young for this day and age.

playing skyrim again. this time i'm melee orc.

wow. never heard any of that before. seems like an alright dude. rip

Finished The Witcher 3... Welp, can't see any game that would ever be able to top this.

Getting into Payday 2 again, this time on the PC and I'm mostly terrible. Kinda sucks that playing solo is not factored for, as the AI don't carry any loot for you or do much else. Fun otherwise.

through most of "disc2" on steam ffvii. forgot how tedious it is to do the chocobo breeding. trying to breed a black male but keep getting a female which is super obnoxious since i can't figure out how to soft reset the steam release and efficiently tick the rng

had some mates over last nite and played a little cod which was quickly discarded to play mario party 10 and culminated with what is probably the best local multiplayer game out right now, rocket league. holy shit that game's rad

Just platinumed Rocket League last night... amazingly fun game.

Also bought and downloaded Balloon Fight... because Iwata.

New roommate has a 360 and Ninja Gaiden 2 so I started playing it again.

I forgot that this is pretty much the best 3rd person melee action game ever made.

used to rock some balloon fight when on vacation in nc. there was a communal nes at our family cabin with a bunch of odd nes titles that i never saw outside of there (gumshoe, chubby cherub, little nemo)

Ahh little nemo. Something about them tilesets and overall game thats so weird and bubbly and nostalgic ^~^

Yeah, it was an odd era for Capcom NES games - some were really good (Ducktales, Mega Man), some were meh (Nemo, NES Strider, Bionic Commando)

wait ...

capcom ???

no .. What am i thinking of ??

heh. Not little nemo.. Some other game with kid in pyjamas and the first level is a big open kind of castle area and its really cryptic.. Couldve sworn that was little nemo hehehe.

nemo opens in some trippy forest with huge mushrooms and you get to jump in all the animal's bodies and wear their skin like a suit for power. furthest i ever got was the train level i think. main thing i hated about it was the slow walk speed.

my favorite weird capcom game has to be street fighter 2010 though. awesome music. awesome gameplay. nothing to do with the street fighter series

I have never played that game in my life ..

Musta kept seeing the title thinking it was that Other game (that i cant remember atm)

!!! Milon's secret castle

just started Lisa. not sure what i think yet, the combat is annoying me. the soundtrack is amazing though.

Only been playing 2 games

Dominions 4: Master of Magic on crack and somehow having even worse graphics. This game is one of the deepest games I've ever played which is contradictory because you control very little in the game. There are over 3000 units and a huge amount of races over 3 time periods and something like 600 spells to cast. The manual is also one of the best I've ever read and is a great resource guide to doing long-term planning. Second best game I've played but it is also one of the most daunting games to play.

Distant Worlds Universe: This is current my favourite game and one of the best i've ever played. Having said that it has tons of flaws and AI qwerks here and there and shitty graphics, but the actual game is one of the most ambitious things I've seen made. It's essentially a universe sandbox creator and you can control as much or as little (or nothing) as you want. The default settings make the game play out like a total war game but you can turn it into an RPG with character development, a choose-your-own-adventure game, a Sim City clone, a paradox game, a spy game, command and conquer clone, or just as a freighter. Again, the amount of detail is insane as you go from 2000 star galaxies to being able to set individual population policies, trade prices and individual components in ships with the ship designer. There is something like 60 resources to collect. Even though it can be totally overwhelming the A.I. does a really good job handling most aspects and can even be turned onto full automation so you can see a galaxy form, spawn life, and fight or become a federation.

Konami has once again removed Kojima's name from MGS5.

I feel like I shouldn't support those shitcunts, but there's no way on Earth I'm missing MGSV.

I have a love/hate relationship with Ninja Gaiden 2. It was fun as hell when it wasn't being unfair as hell. The boss that explodes after you beat it, killing you if you aren't prepared? The werewolves who throw corpses and body parts of the guys you previously killed? The rocket launchers that can hit you from behind a mountain? Such unfairness! I'm surprised I actually beat the game because it pissed me off so much.

..........

I beat Guacamelee the other day. That's the most fun I've had with a game in quite some time. I was even inclined to 100% it.... But I decided against it after I couldn't find all the areas in Pico de Gallo. I did find the majority of the secrets in the game and finished the Chac Mool challenges.

I'm now going back and trying to finally play through Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne. I've been sporadically playing that game since 2005 and have never finished it. It would have been best if I'd come back to it after finishing SMT IV, but I realized I was tired of SMT at that point and couldn't bear to play III.... But now I'm determined to finish this game... and then try Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 :o

lol yep.

i'll be buying this 100%...

the moment konami release a new MGS without kojima involvement or even *pay homage* to the franchise by re-releasing old games or whatnot is when i stop buying the games. good thing those Hd remakes came out when kojima was still around :|

What if a potential MGS 6 was as good (or better) than previous entries?

It's happening with Star Wars... just because the main creator isn't involved anymore doesn't mean it couldn't be improved on or at least continue the quality and tradition.

i mean i get that you're just playing devil's advocate but we all know that they're simply going to release a bunch of cheap cash in games with microtransactions and probably botch a current gen rerelease of mgs4. "first time on xbox" yay!

I tried playing Twin Snakes on gamecube and found the lack of kojima disturbing. Maybe a pointless point to make but i do feel theres something to it when it comes to game design and having the right team behind the project as opposed to just handballing it off to someone else and relying on brand recognition for the game to do well.

Especially, .. ESPECIALLY so when it comes to MGS which is a game that strives on its unique crazy hilarious personality. Without the key person behind it.. Can mgs6 without kojima be possibly good?? It's possible.. But i am not counting on it.

I'd be more than delighted to just see the series come to an end and let everyone move on to new stuff as well :-/

yeah i couldn't get through like an hour of revengeance. tried twice. couldn't do it
