Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

Yesterday, Konami announced that Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will release on PC on October 24th. However, it appears that this collection requires a controller, and it won’t officially support keyboard and mouse.

Konami launched – and then took down – the official Steam store page of the collection. And as the Steam page states.

“Notice: METAL GEAR SOLID – Master Collection Version requires a controller in order to play. Playing with a keyboard and mouse isn’t supported.”

Beyond lazy.

 

[TrebleShot]

Good, Mouse and keyboard are for work and productivity not playing games.

 

[Fray Bentos]

Another piss poor console port incoming!

Please tell me this is a joke.

Konami going for the cheap cash in. Sounds about right.

Hard to believe anyone thought otherwise.
Even the MGS3 "remake" looks like a cheap cash in.

PC master race.

this so fucking much,
what idiot decided a keyboard is in any way usable for gaming the only thing worthwhile is a mouse for input with fps games.

even pc hardware manufactures like razer thought it was fucking dumb

Pretty sure those are game Isos under emulation, of course it won't support KB and Mouse, why do people act as surprised?

Kb&m are completely usable in the vast majority of games and for a massive number of PC gamers, it is the preferred control scheme beyond anything else. You guys not caring for it really doesn't apply to anyone but yourself.

 

[Skifi28]

Doesn't look good for the PC port if they couldn't even be bothered with the controls. I guess I know where I'm buying it then.

 

[Roni]

Lol, if this lands on PC without M&K support it will be hilarious and fitting for Konami.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Trying to play MGS2 with mouse and keyboard sounds about as enjoyable as being kicked in the nuts.

i rather snort dusted glass then play on a keyboard

 

[Braag]

PC master race.

What does this even mean in this context?

 

[ssringo]

As long as they're up front about it, whatever.

Some modder will add it eventually even if Konami doesn't.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Lol, lmao even

 

[Topher]

That's what makes PC gaming so great my man. Options available for just about everyone. Snorting dusted glass is also optional.

 

[jshackles]

It means he's not worth conversing with.

Bummer man. I know a lot of people prefer to play with mouse and keyboard and really find controllers difficult to use, as they didn't grow up using them. A buddy of mine literally can't use a controller hardly, but he loves gaming. Not including mouse support leaves out an entire demographic of people, and that's not cool. I prefer controller anyway, but its just absolutely stupid to not support both control methods.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Thank god for that.

 

[theclaw135]

Yeah. If a game REALLY doesn't take kindly to keyboards, I'd rather have support left out than duct taped.

 

[Spukc]

real life gameplay playing with Keyboard

 

[Thabass]

Meh, these games are designed to be played on a controller. Not a big loss, honestly.

Flies love shit, and I won't eat it.

 

[HTK]

Maybe so but if you're bringing to a Platform that primarily plays on Mouse and Keyboard you would think it would be wise to include it in. It's a no brainer and we shouldn't make excuses for them.

*wireless controller runs out of battery power*

You may never exit this game.

Eh, even so, PC gives players a choice and for Metal Gear Solid games, I would choose controller over KB/M 100% of the time. It is VERY awkward to play with a KB/M config for this type of game. Though, I understand where you come from.

 

[RoboFu]

M/k are for people who aren’t skilled enough.

“My first point and click adventure!”
“ pointer pansies “
“ keytarded “

 

[SScorpio]

Real infiltration experts use a controller

 

[rodrigolfp]

Sticks are for controlling helicopters, not playing games.

 

[Spukc]

Imagine how good a korean starcraft players could get with proper controls?

A 5 year old can beat them with a ps1 controller

Gamepads 4 life, what a tag. I’m dying.

This.

While not adding M+KB support IS lazy (and shame on you, Konami) I don't really care. I think I maybe could play the first MGS with M+KB (it would suck though) but MGS2 and 3 would be an absolute shitshow and not fun at all.

I applaud those of you that want to play these games with M+KB for coming out as the masochists you truly are.

 

[The Stig]

Though not recommended.

One of the more ironic tags on GAF.

By the way, I was waiting on rodrigolfp 's retort and was not disappointed.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So true. M/kb might be great for FPS, hex sim, RTS, puzzle games or anything that has a lot of drag and drop needed. But what about sports, fighting games, racers, third person action games? The seem to fit perfect with a gamepad (unless someone has a steering wheel).

MGS2 is so mechanically precise I'm dreading even not having pressure sensitive buttons.

 

[Apocryphon]

Don’t the GOG PC ports of the first two games already support mouse and keyboard?

 

[The Stig]

holy smoke I forgot about that. man what a game. its been a few years.

 

[GymWolf]

If you play mgs with m&k you should be on some government suspect list, just saying...

 

[TrebleShot]

Didn't work out so well for the titanic submarine.
Seriously though M/KB is genuinely designed for productivity and work.

Gaming is a leisure activity and it should be as easy as possible and not require a desk or something to lean on.
Should be able to kick back nd chill with a controller with nice immersive haptics/rumble and ease of use in mind.

I couldn't imagine for one second hunched over a desk "relaxing" and enjoying a game for 20 mins or an hour, it sounds like something you'd have to really invest time into, sitting against a monitor etc.

My PC is hooked up to my tv along side my PS5 and id rather wrangle with controller methods on desktop/playnite than use a mouse n kb.

How as there is a keyboard there?

I lay on a mattress with "lap boarded" keyboard +mouse. Lol at desks and couches.

one that is made for humans

 

[rodrigolfp]

So every other is for aliens...

 

[ZehDon]

Well, there goes my hopes of these ports being more than a cash grab, I guess. Fingers crossed they run well on the Steam Deck at least...

How do you say his post is true and then provide examples of how it is not true in the very next sentence?
