Opinion: Cautious optimism for Metal Gear Solid Delta

Our position on Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater has been cautious optimism. This personal commentary explains that position, and why criticism and optimism can both be part of following the series.

Seriously, this is not news, This is a rant by me so feel free to keep scrolling along and enjoy your day.

As with any opinion, like this persons I am quoting below, it should always be taken as just that, "opinions". I get it; it bothers him and others that I don't constantly shit on Konami like some want to do(or do) because they can't get over past transgressions even when Konami does something innocently like release a trailer.

I have run this account since 2012, and I have always called out Konami when they do something I don't like or I think is not in the interest of the fans. But when I do, I try to do it in a respectful manner, but even if I do that, that doesn't bother this person. Only when I'm being fair or reasonably objective does this bother people, right? If anyone doesn't want my honest opinion on things, don't follow; it's as simple as that.

I've gone on record multiple times with my opinion, saying, in regards to Delta, I have cautious optimism. Konami's actions will speak louder than words with Delta. That is all. I've also gone on record saying that I don't think any remakes need to happen ever either. Let me repeat what I just said. I don't think any remakes need to happen ever. I'm perfectly fine with what we have with original releases on original hardware. But I also know Konami is a business and isn't a make-a-wish for your or my feelings.

Just because people like this can't move on doesn't mean Konami and, more importantly, Kojima haven't, because they have. Just because I express my own opinion, and its not aggressively negative, doesn't mean I'm "defending Konami".

I'll end this with words from Kojima back in 2010. For many years he wanted to work on other things besides MGS & have someone else take the helm. He never could get away from MGS until he left the company. Keep this in mind when berating me or others in the comments section with what you think I should think.
