Overheard @ TGS 08: The Metal Gear Online line

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Oct 12th 2008 at 5:00AM }

"Wait, there's a line to play Metal Gear Online?"
"It's the MEME expansion. It looks like it's a 60-minute wait."
"Yes, and 50 of those are spent setting up a Konami ID."

So, less like "overheard," and more like "I enjoyed my own joke so much, I just had to tell the internet." Gotta love Joystiq.

it says narcissistic

Emophia @ Oct 12th 2008 5:59AM

When did they say they overheard it?

Yourself @ Oct 12th 2008 6:03AM

Overheard @ TG...
You know what, let me stop right there. It's the first word.

Psalm Bowser @ Oct 12th 2008 6:14AM

So much misinformation in such a short tree.

Emophia @ Oct 12th 2008 6:35AM

Well that's what I get for not reading the post title...

Ethan @ Oct 12th 2008 8:23AM

When my colleagues make a bad joke, I don't put a post-it up on the notice board.

Floptickle @ Oct 12th 2008 9:28AM

Maybe you should?

Ethan @ Oct 12th 2008 1:02PM

Why?

Ludwig Kietzmann @ Oct 12th 2008 1:26PM

Perhaps people would start reading it then.

Ethan @ Oct 12th 2008 3:13PM

Which wouldn't make them any less cretinous, it would just make you look a bit unforgiving.

Haggard (Mr.ESC resurrected on a... thursday?!) @ Oct 12th 2008 9:43AM

Don't worry, I didn't mind.

ExMcCloud @ Oct 12th 2008 10:28AM

Ok seriously the Koonami ID is the worst idea since the UMD good lord....

Haggard (Mr.ESC resurrected on a... thursday?!) @ Oct 12th 2008 10:43AM

Indeed, I thought that juggling about 10 different accounts around was exclusive to PC multiplayer.

j.howlett @ Oct 12th 2008 11:33AM

because sony's UMD and konami ID are from the same people except they're not.

ExMcCloud @ Oct 12th 2008 4:06PM

Who said that...I just said they were bad ideas....How about I differentiate the more so u feel better.....The Koonami ID is the worst idea since The Xbox 360 Core model...That better?

j.howlett @ Oct 12th 2008 10:08PM

no, it would be better to say it's just a bad idea. the 360 core model was a bad idea till people started replacing broken pro models with them now they're just an annoying hinderence. the only thing that bothers me is if say a third party has a slip up on a nintendo platform and somebody exclaims damn nintendo people rush to defend them but if a third party makes a game multiplatform that was playstation exclusive somehow it damn sony fucked up

ExMcCloud @ Oct 12th 2008 11:53PM

Sigh......your looking far to into this...They are both bad ideas it is what it is.....

Albanian_Killa @ Oct 12th 2008 11:05AM

Ah, Metal Gear Online. Konami fucked up Kojima's brilliant work with making it not PSN-compatible, not using the PS Store, not being region-free with all other regions. If this wasn't in place, I would still be playing Metal Gear Online. Too bad I quit after a month of getting pissed off with it.

candafilm @ Oct 12th 2008 12:26PM

When it takes you 4 hours to get into an online game for the first time, something is horribly wrong.

mezzanine @ Oct 12th 2008 3:05PM

It didn't take that long for me to set up the stupid Konami ID. It took forever to download that stupid patch.

Charlie_Six @ Oct 12th 2008 3:34PM

o_O People actually like MGO?? *Baffled*

ExMcCloud @ Oct 12th 2008 4:18PM

Yeah I thought MGO was terrible to...BUT to each his own

Jacksons @ Oct 12th 2008 3:59PM

Yikes. Looks like we've got ourselves a comedian, folks.

Lavat @ Oct 12th 2008 11:59PM

Never had a problem with Konami ID since I set it up. But I just do not like paying with a credit card for the expansions.

Can not wait to get the Meme Expansion though. I am excited. And locking peoples weapons out with Liquid Ocelot will quell my thirst for total control over people.
