  I might leave Gamespot

  Yep, it's true. I am thinking about what many other users have already decided. I am thinking about leaving Gamespot, in part. You know, I've only been here for a little more than a year and a half, but I've already seen Gamespot go downhill ever since I've joined. This is just to make it clear. Gamespot, I may leave. Something has to be done with this site. It's just lost so much of it's touch that it used to have. I mean, it's one thing to lose a few important editors. But it's another to lose them and turn the site upsidedown. In other words, this doesn't have anything to do with the Gerstmanngate and all of the people who quit Gamespot. This has to do with what the site has turned into ever since then, which I don't put upon the community. I put this one upon Gamespot themselves. It could be anybody's fault. The editors, the producers, the technicians, or the managers., I don't know who. But for some reason, or because of some people, the site has been messed up in many ways, almost all of which could've been prevented.

  I'll post more information later, as well as my official decision on leaving Gamespot.

  Why the Nintendo Press Confrence was bad

  Remember last year when Nintendo dissappointed us with all the kiddy titles and such? Well, I too, was hoping for some actual hardcore games this year. Unfortunatly, Nintendo failed again, not because they were missing hardcore titles, but now because of the lack of announcements. I'll admit, Super Mario Galaxy 2 WAS A HUGE SURPRISE. I didn't see that coming, and New Super Mario Bros for the Wii was unexpected too,but that was mostlyit.

  So what did Nintendo do to fill in the rest of the hour and 20 minutes? Mainly, they just started bragging, even though they really don't deserve the bragging rights. Financially, they did good. But who really cares about Mario Kart Wii anymore? Seriously, they started going on about these old games,and I think I even saw a mention of Super Mario Sunshine for theGamecube. Most of the show was also filled in with games already announced. They just talked about Wii Fit Plus and stuff, and The Conduit, and it was boring for the most part. Not all games shown have already been announced, but Nintendo failed us again this year.

  I mean, I'm not expecting any (many)violent M rated games, but I expected, or at least wanted, for Nintendo to try something new. I mean, come on. It's been about how long since THEY'VE rolled out a new and popular character or series. They've gotta get off the casual train and try some new stuff. I mean, maybe GTA for the Wii? And if they can't get Rockstar to do that, how about they make their own rip-off of GTA for the Wii?

  I am just upset with Nintendo. Why? In a short summary, it's because THEY DON'T GET IT. Nobody important watching this is a casual player. They're at least somewhat hardcore. Nintendo is failing to deliver that. They need to stop and deliver. If they can't, they might as well make a new system or something. And I mean NEW and more NEXT-GENERATION. I'm not very happy with them right now. I'll admit, they have their moments, and they definetly did this year at E3, but not enough.

  New light on the "Next Metal Gear"

  So you know all of these countdowns? Well, according to a website called Kotaku, they've looked over the source code via Flash, and it looks like what most of us have assumed.

  • It appears that the current countdown is one of but 5 countdowns running over the site for the next few weeks. The most intresting thing about it is that the countdown ends on June 1st, AKA the day of Microsoft's E3 Press Confrence, but more importantly, not on Sony's.
  • The site's search terms are, Hideo Kojima, MGS, Metal Gear, next, game, konami, kojima game, KJP, Kojima production. Most importantly and most intresting, if those are the search terms, none of them are MGS5.

  So yes, it appears the countdowns WILL END eventually end. What will happen? Time will tell, probably at the Microsoft Press Confrence. Till then, enjoy it while it lasts.
