This was the best thing Kojima ever was involved in, everything else falls short in comparison.
>>734997970it still boggles the mind how no one has copied zoe's combat system yet.
There's a localizer that claims Kojima stole his kid's name for the title of "Zone of the Enders".
>>734998050Action games only copy what's popular, even indies. DMC clones, GoW clones, Arkham clones, and Soulslikes (Roll variety and Parry variety) have dominated for the past 25 years. ZoE is just the most notable of the games that got passed over; I'd love for say Otogi to get clones but given that's a Fromsoft series that isn't Souls, AC or King's Field that's a pipe dream.
>>734997970Far better than Armored Core 6 still. How they managed to get something that felt so good long ago and then nobody copied or built off it confuses me too.
How does this shit still have denuvo?
>"you do not possess the potential to face Anubis yet">still tried to beat him a dozen times before I understood I was meant to stall for as long as possible I might be braintarded
>>734997970Ever since Death Stranding I'm hoping Kojima put Yoji Shinkawa on a new mecha game, one where you'd walk around and care about the terrain legs let you cross.
>>734997970Not really. Kojima is a nobody to me outside Metal Gear Solid. I'd have never picked up any of his games if he didn't really make the kind of genre games he made. He only has MGS to define him as a somebody because the facade quickly fell apart on Death Stranding.
>>735001621Don't even try to pretend Death Stranding isn't the best strand type game of all time.
>>734998050daemon x machina 2 was kinda close
>>734997970Qrd on the first game? Should I play or pass?
>>735004774Maybe play for the story, but as a game it's kind of a repetitive and simplistic tech demo versus the sequel. Even if you do have an occasional neat idea in there like controlling one of the basic Raptor enemies. It's also very, VERY shoddily localized even compared to 2, so it's got some unintentional cheese in there.
>>735004928>shoddily localizedBoth are really, really rough, even for . Pretty sure there are undub mods for the PC versions if you can't into Japanese. ADA sounds like fucking FLUDD in English which is grating compared to the shorter, sharper, more "cute" sound of the JP voice.That said, I really wish ZOE2173 Testament had been an action game instead of a gimped version of SRW.
>>735005893*Even for early 2000s games.
I love the mech design and the chick.
>>734997970What about Boktai?
>>734997970Too bad the remaster was a big shit so the series is dead.
>>735000116Hated when games did that shit.
>>735006594How so?
