I have spent a collective 600+ hours 100%ing it on PC and PS4, and I love that game, but boy howdy does it miss a lot of marks. It really tells a story that didn't need to be told to tie a debatable loose end that no one thought twice about, and it lacked so much of that "Metal Gear" flair.

I have adhd, this mechanic is already built in 😭

My millenial brain has that feature as a free addon to ALL games I play. Often I would just start a-new instead of struggling mid-game after a long time of inactivity.

Nope

This does not sound like an 'amazing' idea. It sounds like a 'people with busy lives need not apply' sorta idea...

Must have been something else Kojima saw on TV

Isn't that why we just start over everytime we get back in a game? hehe. But, please, no, don't tie games to real life stress. That does not sound like a good idea.

People forget that P.T./Silent Hills was planned to have an integration where it would text you when you weren't playing

I... I do it by myself with any game 🫣

Cool addiction boost, bro. Not evil at all.

A rushed save is forever good. A delayed save is eventually unplayable.

I would do horribly at this game

This is already me with most games in my backlog 🥴

Memento but a video game

uhh, no thank I'm good, you just want my time. I'm good.

So an MMO

We really gotta stop applauding celebrity brain farts.

sounds like dogshit

To make a game*

Which is fine btw. Art is also failing.

So no it wouldn't be just an arcade type of game. More like Skyrim but if you die you gotta pay to play again.

It would be interesting if instead of relinquishing control, it's just a shift in gameplay and objectives. I'd love to see an MMO like that that's just an everlasting conflict between zombies and humans

Wouldn’t this come with a refresher on everything when you come back? Neat idea

As opposed to me forgetting how to play it?

They did this on death stranding. If you take off too long the roads deteriorate. I don't think it had massive game play issues but the seed of this is there.

Game prohibited for anxious people.

They do until they stop

Unless you restart the whole save file

Depends on the implementation. This might actually help if it gradually reintroduces mechanics and information you forgot. Imagine making the 'what was i doing?' feeling as part of the game.

So a game made by dicks ? I'm sure it will make for interesting Let's Play content online

He should create a mechanic where the main character gets bored of items and throws them away after a while

Sounds like a "if anyone else suggested it it would rightly be panned" situation, yes please Kojima don't respect the players time, punish them for having a life

This is what happens when you remove the guy who said "no" to Kojima's original idea for The End's boss battle. Kojima is a great director, but he needs some to give a hard no to his more crazy ideas.

Kind of discourages one from returning to an old save then.

Some of us don't have the time to commit to playing games regularly, and this feels like bullying.

What the fuck

this is just me taking a break from any game though 😔😅

Animal crossing gives your house roaches if you don’t play for a while 😂😂😂

Imagine binging a game in one or two sittings and completely missing out on a core game feature like that, lmao.

No no I already do that. I need the game to remember all that stuff.

So a bit like the Metroid games?

What could go wrong?

i think it would fit great depending on the game. for something story based, it would be helpful to get you to understand where you're at in the lore, and to figure out where to go/what to do next.

mood maybe his new games are pretty good but they aren't for me

AM I THE MAIN CHARACTER! HOW META IS KOJIMA CAPABLE OF GOING?!?

Sorry, Hideo. That's called "every game I've ever put down for two months and tried to continue, only to give up and hit 'start new game' after about 20 minutes." It has been out in multiple forms since the SNES.

This sounds terrible, not amazing

Just like playing damn soullike games.

hitting that barrier yoko taro talks about

He might choose to work on this instead of something interesting and game dev takes like half a decade now so it's giving up years for nothing in return .

I can't think of a dumber game that I don't want to play.

No hate but this may be the most redundant game idea ever. The player forgets if they're away from the game too long as it is so why does it matter if the character forgets with them? What does that achieve?

Piss Grenades have been a thing since Team Fortress 2's Jarate

Kojima is a misunderstood genius

I actually think this idea fucks. It might motivate the player to actually remember something about the game instead of being led by the nose everywhere

People take this man too seriously like fucking relax

He'll end up calling the game something like "Mid-Life", because that's essentially what this mechanic is. It's the reality of being a middle-aged gamer.

so an adhd simulator

This is one of the worse ideas I've ever- oh, Hideo Kojima said it??

So many horrible psychological issues with a game design like this. Not good for peoples' mental health.

Sounds like a horrible mechanic

I already do this - after a few months fuck all if I remember what the buttons do.

He has done a number of really awesome things, but he’s also come up with some very monumentally stupid ideas too. This one is one of his more stupid ideas.

I think that's why? He has unconventional ideas and executes them well

Kojima is one of the most glazed creatives to ever exist and gets near-universal acclaim any time he does anything; he doesn't need defenders making personal attacks on anyone who mildly criticizes his dumb ideas

I do. Would you like one?

hideo kojima, that is just adhd

Thats just me never every video game.

So dementia the game. Sounds great. I wanna play out what's coming to me in my later years while I can really feel the horror of things slipping away.

Kojima is like one of those weird kool-aid mouth stain kids at the arcade who would say shit like "what if when we were playing and got hit our REAL BLOOD got shot onto the SCREEN?!" and then you had to just say "I dunno man" and hope he wandered off.

Finally a correct take in the "make this game" camp

Agreed!

i think people are a bit too hasty to dismiss games just because they don't appeal to them specifically. truth is, not everything has to be made for you to be worthy of existing. things don't even have to be *good* to be worthy of existing lol

Pero si a mí esto ya me pasa cuando dejo un juego a medias y vuelvo a él pasada una semana...

The more time you spend away the harder it is to come back? That's called Destiny 2.

"Amazing" for whom

Honestly - this idea kinda slaps? I often forget how to play a game myself during long hiatuses and the idea of playing with that in a meta-narrative sounds fun!

You peaple are miserable and sad

Sounds cool I can imagine how theyde implement that

Planescape: Torment 2?

Surprising the amount of people being a bitch about a hypothetical game no one’s forcing them to play damn

Nah

So you're applying the Donald Trump voter approach to art? "I don't necessarily like his ideas but we need him to shake up the system"?

Spend weeks mastering Totally Not Jackie Chan's gigantic move list, take a break for a week, come backz forgot everything

Maybe there's a way to make it work but, idk. I can only imagine a janky type of roguelike, or a vn that encourages you to skip dialogue.
