Konami, and how they stink

That's the one.

I would to Kojima, he is a handsome man.

He probably wouldn't call you afterwards though.

Though there'd be a mysterious cardboard box outside your house for a few weeks... and you'll hear the occasional note from a fiddle.

BBC talks to Kojima

You may have seen I posted Jim Sterling's review of Survive in the Jim Sterling thread and of course they're more reviews around of the game like from Dreamcastguy but he also has this video about Konami which is very much bang on.

He does touch about one of the things briefly coursing a bit of up roar with Survive now and that's it will cost you $10 for a extra save slot. Jas, Jim and Myself have talked about it on twitter and Jas points out they're away around it but does stink along with from what I saw of IGN review it brings up that extra slots in the in-game menus for items and stuff costs real money as well.

Me practically at gunpoint

I'm not okay with our forumites being mugged for their opinions.

I only asked Jim as he brought up save slots in relation to BotW.

I was going to leave it alone until twitter popped up with it's 'here's what you may have missed' nonsense and Jimbob made a good point so I was more replying to his question than anything else. The save slot thing (shitty practice it may be) really is a non-issue for me but it's under a big magnifying glass because most have a raging hard on for hating Konami these days.

I think you're right about Konami being under a magnifying glass due to things like that in the game industry at the moment be it them or EA with the loot boxes that are pay to win.
