It never ceases to depress me how many amazing franchises are under Konami's umbrella that are just wasting away.
Kojima is a whole different issue, but I honestly feel he'll thrive with the support of Sony. He'll be able to make new stuff again- that, in itself, is a real win in my book.
Everything else? Silent Hill, Contra, Castlevania, Suikoden, Goemon, Silent Scope, just to name a very small few (not to mention some of the old standalone IPs that could easily be resurrected, like Ring of Red or Shadow of Destiny)... just rotting away.

They never lost me, honestly.
Between an abundance of Metal Gear content, Lords of Shadow, and great legacy releases across Virtual Console/XBLA/PSN and the Arcade Archives line, I've been pretty happy with Konami over the last few years.
More goodwill gestures certainly wouldn't hurt, though.

I want the complete MGS collection on PS4. That's it, Konami.
Oh, and keep up the good Yu-Gi-Oh games.

I think that just giving everyone PT back would go a long way. I mean, it certainly wouldn't forgive everything, but it would be a nice, substantial, and meaningful first step.

Then make MGR2

Haha perfect.
Seriously Konami how do you plan to make any games when all your developers jumped ship?

Sorry, I don't play pachinko.
If anything it'd be a sad reminder of the future they erased, and probably cause further grief.

Good luck.
His laugh is mighty. One day I want to experience it in person.
Step 1: MGR2
I never said i wouldnt buy a Konami game if they made a good one, I'm pretty much over the #FucKonami thing honestly.
MGSV was a damn good incomplete game and Silent Hills looked like a dream scenario for the franchise that was just too good to be true. Kojima's in a better place and MGS had a good run of 8 or so games, im fine with it being over.
Sucks that we likely wont see anything good out of their IPs for a couple years at least, though.

Thanks. Wow, Yeah I kind of understood that but didn't know what exactly it was for.

Is this what it feels like to have an abusive spouse beg you to take them back, saying that they've changed, and every part of you wants to believe them but you know they're just gonna get drunk again?

Yo, guys.
Please don't hate on the general staff at Konami.
I'm about as #fuckonami as everyone else here, but remember, you're angry at upper management in japan, the people who have made these utterly stupid business decisions, and the people who treated devs like kojima (and many others, by the way!) like shit.
Do NOT get angry at the Developers, Designers, Artists, Testers, and Support Staff. (And yes, there are STILL plenty of people at Konami both in the US and Japan! It was never JUST Kojima.)
They're trying to do what they can under a bad situation, and are very likely the only people at Konami we could possibly count on to try and turn things around.
Give them all the support and love you can so they can confidently tell their higher ups to Get with the fucking program!

I just want to see more metal gear 5 single player missions / locations . That would be a small little bit of goodwill to slowly start building your trust.
No more fob/microtransaction bs , you have a solid engine/gameplay thanks to kojima, use it.

True, but it seems like most of the people that made Konami great are no longer there. The people behind Silent Hill and Metal Gear are gone.

I like Silent Hill and you threw the best chance the franchise had off a cliff.

Ugh, do people here really want a Snake Eater remake? What a complete waste of time. Snake Eater still looks and plays fine. It doesn't need to be remade, especially in the way that most people here seem to want it (exactly the same on a new engine.)
None of the other MGS games need to be remade as well. I think a remake of the first two metal gear games would far more interesting. However, I would much rather prefer something new if they were gonna make another MGS.

Honestly the only one that really fucks over is the devs / studios related to the company. As all the execs will get golden parachutes while everyone else will be left with jack & shit.

Is a pachinko machine really going to make more money than a full MGS3 remake in Fox Engine?
I know it obviously costs way, way less to make a pachinko machine and its accompanying animated videos.
