Though Kojima can only be found once in Cyberpunk 2077 , there is another nod to him later in the game. During a side mission, protagonist V will infiltrate a Night City Police Department lab. In one of the rooms, a Death Stranding Bridge Baby pod can be fo

The game was a buggy mess, and in the first week of its release, FO76 had two updates larger than the game itself . And that wasn’t even the worst part. Fans spent top dollar on the Power Armor Editions, which were supposed to come with a burlap backpack, but what fans got instead was a flimsy bag made out of Teflon that barely held toget

Being a direct sequel to James Cameron’s Aliens and skilfully ignoring the terrible sequels that came after, Alien: Colonial Marines was shaping up to be one of the greatest horror shooters in the ge

In fact, the PS4 and Xbox One got the worst and most unstable version of the game to date, with atrocious framerates to boot. Even for high-end PCs, the combination of ray-traced lighting without advanced DLSS can slaughter a 3090ti. Thankfully, framerates are getting better little by little with each update, but they could be bet

It's that last problem that had many gamers fuming, especially when forced to deal with missions that literally broke the game due to stability and programming issues. On the PC front, Cyberpunk 2077 was not prone to rampant crashing, but stability improvements have made the game an even better fit for that platf

And you will be punished. Whether you randomly get mugged in a back alley or end up in a long and slow death loop that drains you of your money, health, and resources, Cyberpunkdreams is not an easy game. You’re going to die, but you’ll begin each subsequent playthrough with just a little bit more of an advantage. After weeks of playing, I’ve somehow managed to keep my second character alive and thriving. I’m sure I’ll run into a wall at some point, but apparently, I’ve been making the right decisions… or, the more likely reason, have been incredibly lu

Though not a typical cameo, the Hideo Kojima's name appears in a signature fourth wall break during the Psycho Mantis fight in the first Metal Gear Solid . The Metal Gear Solid villain will display the strength of his mental powers by 'changing' the channel on the player's TV. The screen will go black, and " HIDEO " will appear in the corner, a gimmick that recurs throughout the ser

Silicon Dreams tackles some big philosophical questions and does so with a deft hand. The dialogue between yourself and the androids you interrogate is well written - save for some spelling errors here and there - and has quite a few twists and turns along the way. Each android has a unique personality that makes you feel conflicted about what to do with them. They all act like real people even though they've completely synthetic. Kronos will give you mission briefings that often have some rather cold-hearted requirements such as deleting their memories or melting androids down for scrap. You'll find yourself forced to put an android to death because they've been watching too many movies or they have a faulty arm joint. By the end of the game, I was feeling pretty damn gui

Kojima lends his likeness to a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 , where he can be found relatively early in the game, sitting in the back of a bar in Konpeki Plaza. Though he looks like, and is voiced by, Kojima, this man is actually named Oshima, a canonical citizen of Night City. Oshima is more or less a Cyberpunk 2077 Story Guide parody of Kojima himself. As a director of braindances, a kind of virtual reality entertainment in Cyberpunk that record and then immerse the viewer in real events, Oshima wishes to take braindances to their limit and explore the furthest reaches of emotion that can be experien

WWE 2K20 was so disastrous upon its release that Sony started offering refunds to those who bought it for the PlayStation 4, and a Reddit post complaining about the game quickly received 11,000 upvotes. There are so many hilarious examples of the bugs out mentioned online, from character models that look like they’d fit better in Silent Hill , to wrestlers inadvertently crawling around in the r

Ah, artificial intelligence. There are few subjects that are as interesting to write about as the concept of giving robots the capacity to think and feel. It's a rich topic of discussion because it opens up all kinds of questions about what exactly it is to be a sentient lifeform. Do androids deserve rights? Should they be treated equally? Are we monsters for creating beings solely for the purpose of performing menial tasks for our own convenience? Silicon Dreams asks all these questions and more, which not only makes it a good piece of science fiction but also a fascinating, entertaining g

Perhaps Kojima's most notable and pointed appearance is when he portrayed an operative in need of a rescue in a side mission of Metal Gear Solid V : Ground Zeroes . He gets quite a bit of camera time, and even has several voice lines. The mission is capped off with in-game Kojima trading sunglasses for distinctly Kojima-esque eyeglasses before smirking directly into the camera and asking " What took you so long? " The entire sequence is rather surreal, but it's also quintessentially Kojima. He has a handful of other video game appearances, some in his own works, and others as cameos for different develop
