I'm baffled that so many tie ins were done... and the only thing people can think to do is bash Kotaku.
I mean... this doesn't interest anybody? That they clearly have financial motivations for the game doing well? |
I'm just saying it's the same as with all the hyped games in magazines in america as well. GTA4, Halo, ETC Because the magazines get lots of advertising from the publishers of those games.
The product placement, was because kojima thought it was funny, and he wanted money. if it irritates you enough to buy it, then don't buy it.

I'll put it this way.
Goldman Sachs was just charged by the SEC of a crime. That crime was talking up some securities to investors, which were going to default and they were going to pay off for one of their clients.
This is essentially the same thing.

Wasn't that where they bet against themselves to make money? Then mislead there investors or something. I dont remember exactly
The only question is whether they bought the scores or not. Which I think, Games like GTA4, HALO, and MGS probably do anyways, when MGS2 came out they were, bitch bitch bitch score = 10
even though i thought it was that good.
I am just saying reviews on websites or magazines aren't credible, because they get advertising, and companies can pull advertising, interviews, first looks if they don't like the press from that site. Therefore, reviews, whcih are opinions and the first place, can be even more subjective.
