Hideo Kojima Giving Lecture At Tokyo Apple Store

@PatrickF**kingStar: *In.

Well, that was disappointing.

@Lincolnsbeard33: I what way does Kojima have an ego? Is helping students egotistical?

@alanxu: I am

Lincolnsbeard33

and people say Richard Garriott has an ego

Lincolnsbeard33

@alanxu:
Nah I love him.

SolidOni

@alanxu: Never!

Ask him if you can buy that iPod off him and if he asks why, resist the urge to say "because I want your babiez."

@alanxu: Nope.

@SolidOni: Honestly, you'd think that anyone who wanted to play it that badly would just get a PS3. I originally bought a 60GB model when they were discontinued and waited for MGS4, and found that there were lots of great games to be had in the mean time.

I picked up ZOE2 a few months ago and haven't touched it yet, but boy did I play the shit out of the original. I would love this to be announced, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

@Rinaldus: It's not so bad being trendy. Everyone who looks like me is my friend!

Anyone else sick of hearing about Hideo Kojima?

@Rinaldus: thats what you call the "perfect messy hair" which usually hipsters pay about $50-80 for.

@Rinaldus:

1. Get a ceramic bowl.
2. Put it on your head.
3. Get some scissors. 61.
4. Close your eyes.
5. Cut randomly.

MGS4...360? lol

Kikouken

@excel_excel: I find it amazing when the purple stuffed worm from flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on hari-kari rock.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Ask him who styles his hair. It's so damn trendy.

@SolidOni: Seriously, I NEED to know.

Imagine if MGS4 was sold on Steam...

"OK, see you guys in 4 days. I'm gonna be downloading that 50 gig game now."

No, no! you must ask him about "I need scissors 61".
Then my life will be complete.

He really does look like a mouse, maybe that's why he knows how to make such a great stealth game.

Gam3r

Ya don't ask about MGS4 on 360, ask about ZOE 3 at E3!

SolidOni

@potatojenkins:
I think less of a lot of people :x

@Kikouken:
mgs4 360
oxymoron

PPCK

I think less of Kojima for the whole iPod thing.

@spannu:
I remember that Jackass...

@Rinaldus: Yeah, but Kojima is kind of getting annoying.

@alanxu: Kinda.

@bond2e2: "who cares if he makes great games?"

That is the exact reason people care.

@bond2e2: At least he can spell.

@PatrickF**kingStar: yeah but you're Asian you can't be blamed for what your hair does.

Lincolnsbeard33

@PatrickF**kingStar: My ceramic bowl is full of my perfectly tended petunias.

RyderJ

@alanxu: Never.

he is so annoying, why does everyone care what he does? who cares if he makes great games? He is so funn of him self it is rewally annoying

bond2e2

@SolidOni: not really I have never been much of a fan of the MG games. They are good and I respect them but I am not one of those people who would pay money to give him a hand job.

For me the only stealth action games I like were the Thief series.

Lincolnsbeard33

@spannu: Yet again you continue to show me things I wish I never seen before. Good thing it's not as disturbing as that last one -_-

@alanxu: No. I am sick of hearing from lame Facebook posters though.

@alanxu: You're just jealous cause you don't have an iPod with your face engraved on it.

QBasic

@alanxu: Kojima could blow a load in my mouth and I wouldn't be tired of hearing about him.

So if I took his Iphone, I would have a hard time passing it off as my own on the way out, huh.

Nuts.

@Lincolnsbeard33:

You are just jealous that you don't have a Kojima iphone.

SolidOni

@e-friend isn't your e-foe: Play it already you're killin me here!

@goldwings: I refuse to be impressed until he does something like this:

spannu

@PatrickF**kingStar: yeah that sucked but I am referring to the man who has a picture of himself as the cover to his iphone

Lincolnsbeard33

@Rinaldus: I think that might just make you a bit of a fan boy.... and possibly gay.

Lincolnsbeard33

@Shachihoko: I'm tired of people hating on Cammie.

@Lincolnsbeard33: Apple gave it to him as a gift.

@bond2e2:

I would say that's why we care, I don't care if he's an ass but makes great games.

Now if he was an ass and made bad games, then I would be annoyed when people worship him *ahem*Itagaki*ahem*, but when someone proves themselves they can act how they want, that's the great thing about the world having so many people, I won't meet 99% of them.

@ヨシダさん 25:

Not really, he talks about game development and develops great games in the process. contrary to popular belief he is also very humble. Him claiming MGS4 could have been better spoke volumes about his character.

SolidOni

@alanxu: That like saying the samething to Shigeru Miyamoto, Peter Moore, Sataru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime, Kazuo Hirai, and Cammie Dunaway..

Actually, I'd take the last one back...

Shachihoko

Man Kojima must be REALLY bored at the moment.

Stop trying to educate your fellow game designers and get working at ZoE3.

The guy is an utter cock. That makes overrated videogames that all feature AWFUL writing. Why can't he just piss off and leave us all alone.

Mister_Bump

@Shachihoko: She was a GMILF.

@PatrickF**kingStar: Also, counting in the DLC for MGS4, and the updates for MGO, it's even bigger than that.

@Lincolnsbeard33: It filled a dual-layer Blu-Ray disc.

@Lincolnsbeard33: But it's fucking Kojima.

Am i the only one noticing he has a Ipod with him in a white tshirt with a model pose?

PatrickF**kingStar: I don't hate her, it just she had some kind of special ability to get on everyone nerves.. /=

Shachihoko

@PatrickF**kingStar: is it really 50 gigs? That seems a bit high for that game.

Lincolnsbeard33

@PatrickF**kingStar: then that is the lamest gift ever. Who gives someone a present that is a picture of themselves.

"here you go this is in case you forget what you look like"

Now if they had maybe did some cool graphic with Snake on it then that would be nice but a picture of himself???

Oh wait that's right Obama did give the Queen of England an Ipod with pictures of herself on it..... so... I guess there is that.... still lame ass gift.

Lincolnsbeard33

@Mister_Bump: someone sounds bitter.

Know whats funny about this? Even with all this, he STILL isn't as egotistical or self centered as Todd Howard from Bethesda.

EternalStar

@alanxu: As usual, you're obviously the only person who could possibly be thinking that way.

with The FFXIII demo being 5GB, I'd like to see the same people who expect to put FFXIII on Xbox360 to put MGS4 on Xbox360.

@PatrickF**kingStar:

Drugs are bad son.

bkchurch

@excel_excel:
HARI KARI ROCK!

sentroshi

@Gam3r: He looks hip too...

...ALWAYS. Gotta respect a man who knows his movies.

*fangirl squeal*

Okay, I don't like him like THAT (even though I'm a huge MGS fan), but y'know, I've never actually seen him SMILE in any of the photos of him, lol. It's kind of rare, I should think, despite the fact that he's such a madman with his work. It would seem plausible for him to have a crazy grin or laugh to go along with that title X).

@Mister_Bump:

lol you mad?

SolidOni

@GraywolfofMibu: Please don't hate me because I'm trendy. They're not gonna laugh at me again.

Darkest Daze

@alanxu:

yeah im tired of kojima.

now if you'll excuse me lemme go and change my avatar and handle :P

@alanxu: Nope

DoubleV

@SolidOni: Him claiming MGS4 could have been better is admitting it didn't live up to expectations.

@e-friend isn't your e-foe: Seriously, get to it. The original doesn't hold a candle to The 2nd Runner. At least gameplay-wise.

@undefined: Tired of hearing about nintendo and reggies ugly mug.

@Mister_Bump: I didn't like MGS4 (MGS was great, the subsequent sequels were terrible) and even I think you sound like a bitter douche.

Just sayin'.

@PatrickF**kingStar: I someone gave me a picture of myself as a gift, I would punch them in the face.

With fire.

That thing is like a Doughbag-Only Club membership card.

@Riktor:

SE has a multiplatform engine that's PC based unlike Kojima Productions' custom PS3 engine. So the hurdles are beyond just storage issues.

@ヨシダさん 25:

At least he's being honest in contrast to many other developers who boast about their games.

We're bordering on fiction here about people resisting the urge to ask about MGS4 360 IN JAPAN. Even in the west, do people really care

Seriously though, you can't get any more narcissistic when you put your portrait on anything personal.

@Hey_Blinkon: Ohh yeah! Well your mums a dickhead supreme!!!

Okay, I take that back. Mrs. Blinkon is a wonderful woman.

@Mister_Bump: Sounds like you wouldn't know a good video game if someone smacked one upside your head.

Anybody going to go? I'm probably going to check it out, and if anybody wants to go out for a beer afterward let me know.

FarmboyinJapan

"The Kojima lecture begins at 5:00pm."

...and ends forty-seven hours later. Bloody cutscenes.

JZeitler

@JZeitler: lol!

@Mister_Bump: I think the opposite about what you said. The writing in MGS is pretty good compared to other games e.g. the cheesey dialogue in resident evil games. RE isn't bad, its good.

@Valnen: What he said

RockNrollBowl

@Rinaldus: yes that would be fucking Kojima and that is why it is gay.

Lincolnsbeard33

@PatrickF**kingStar: but that is assuming that the disc is full. I find it hard to believe it since there are no PC games that are even close to that size.

Lincolnsbeard33

@JZeitler:

But you can tap "X" for flashbacks of previous lectures if things get confusing.

But you can't pause it this time.

@alanxu: This is still more entertaining than another patent lawsuit or Nintendo holding back another potentially good game.

@PatrickF**kingStar: 3. Get some scissors. 61.

You sir fucking win the internets

@Lincolnsbeard33: Its true, but I am pretty sure it is because there was very little compression done to the data. Things like uncompressed audio and textures can take up a load of space.

Oh crap, and I was there last year! But instead of listening to someone cool and relevant to any of my interests I had to listen to... Uh, hmm... That's a good question. But that's beside the point! I was there! I can now tell my friends "Did you know 245 days after my visit Kojima would be walking in the bacterial footprints I left? Ha! Bet you wish you'd visited the App Store in Tokyo now don't you??"

@bond2e2: Yeah totally. Kojima has been sending me twitter updates and daily emails to my inbox about EVERY little thing he does. What a jerk, who does he think he is?!
