After their frivolous music game lawsuit carpet-bombing nonsense happened a few years ago, I'd already decided not to buy Konami games any more. Good to see that I'm not missing out on much...
I honestly find it astounding that they are opening admitting the game they shipped is broken AND they can fix but won't. Because its on Xbox..... Wow konami ladies and gentlemen.
Y'know, I was really looking forward to playing these games for the first time. Well at least Konami is making sure that I'm gonna have to pirate it or something to find a damn copy of it.
Konami is quickly making Capcom look less unacceptable. Good work, guys.
If the Dark Souls port ends up sucking, I'm officially not buying any more japanese games for at least a year or two.

How broken is the game currently? I heard the PS3 version was a lot worse than the 360 version, but I don't know if that's true.
And how they strung us along for five months waiting for a patch just so they could squeeze out as many sales of this broken piece of shit before pulling the patch rug out from under our feet. Classy. Pricks!
Thank you KONAMI, honestly, FUCK YOU. I wont ever buy another game from Konami. We paid $40 on an incomplete game that they can't just be respectful enough to patch it. That's a total disrespect with us, gamers. Place this fucking patch right in your fucking ASS, stupid company. FUCK YOU KONAMI!
I'm glad when uninformed consumers get burned. Too many people these days buy and support inferior products in this industry when marketing cranks up the hype engine.
Come on guys, cut Konami some slack. Yesterday they announced their quarterly results, and they made only $56 million in profits. It's clear that spending $40k to launch the patch plus developing costs would have ABSOLUTELY bankrupted the company. They simply had no choice...
I love that you compare what Polytron said about Fez to what Konami said about Silent Hill HD.
After all it's totally accurate. Since Polytron is a company worth 3.07billion dollars after all. And the issues with Fez affected everyone instead of a small percentage of people who got fucked over. /sarcasm
Seriously, that comparison is complete bullshit Jim. Silent Hill HD was broken for everyone, Fez has a save game error for less than 1% of people who play the game. Konami's PR statement tells people to go out and buy the game still regardless. Polytron apologizes and says they hope that they didn't waste their fans time. Konami is a huge multinational publicly traded company worth currently 3.074 BILLION dollars. Polytron is 2 guys currently trying to pay off the debts they owe from making their first game WAY too ambitious and overbloated in terms of cost to develop.

I just called and told them that they were being cruel, a terrible company, and they were pulling a horrible business practice, as well as well as telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves.
Konami really didn't do any good with that statement and the terribly misplaced "in stores now" nonsense but It's worth noting the 360 version was in MUCH better shape than the PS3 version was to begin with.
Good job Vic. Come on people, it's the same amount of time it takes to comment here. Change doesn't just happen, we have to facilitate it.
Oh Konami, you just keep getting better and better! Hopefully if the day comes that they bite the dust, the talented people and IPs under their roof go to a much more worthy publisher/s.
Jesus Christ, how does a decade old game critically need a patch? If something doesn't change soon we could see Konami gone as a major publisher in just a few years.
Jesus Christ, how does a decade old game even critically need a patch? If something big doesn't change at Konami, we could see them gone as a major publisher in just a few years.

Wow that's pretty fucked up.
"Hey guys who probably payed $40-60 for our game, it won't be fixed, thx for buying it though. Oh yeah you guys who haven't bought it yet go buy it."
Sometimes publishers fucking amaze me. It seems like every time they talk, they give us another reason to hate them.

wtf, fans should totally cause hell, idk but this is just wrong.
sell a broken game? then DONT fix it?!!

I WAS waiting on this patch so I could pick it up. Eat a dick Konami. Just close your doors already.
This is why I'm cautious buying any fucking video game. Espescially third party game, I just got lucky as fuck buying Skyrim(ps3) day one.
Well, your Jimquisition is ringing ever true. I feel so terribly sorry for anyone who bought this, and of course now most of all, those unlucky souls who picked it up on the 360.
That sales pitch at the end too, jesus fucking christ....

I've graduated my impression of the PS3 version to 'about as buggy as a Bethesda game.' It's officially risen above the shittiness level of all versions of Silent Hill Homecoming, which is the benchmark for frustrating underprogrammed games.
360 one never did have as much combat glitching, but it did have some.
PS3 version still has a little left. If my PS3 had back compat I'd still play the original releases instead.

That last sentence reads more like a fuck you to Microsoft than anything else. Don't they fine publishers some ridiculous amount of money before patches can go through?
Konami needs to just let Silent Hill go, 'cause at this point they're dragging its corpse inside a banana crate tied to the end of a pick-up. Just cut it loose already.
Now, if they want to focus their resources on bringing over the Love Plus games...

Xbox players should avoid buying Japanese made games for their console, because clearly they don't give a fuck, it just for the buck.
@matty125 If only. I don't understand how Silent Hill fans continue to have faith, the fact that Konami outsourced the last one (Dounpour) to an inexperienced developer with only one game under their belt shows how little they care about the series. Why can't people just let good games/series die out while they are still good instead of beating them to death in hopes of re-creating the past? *coughprinceofpersiacough*
Exactly what I expect from a company that took 4 years to put trophies in Metal Gear Solid 4 then acted like it was doing a favor for everyone. Who was really waiting/wanting that? It's my favorite franchise and I can't care less. As for as Silent Hill maybe Konami thinks they it's Ok to market broken games like they really work for the Silent Hill Konami Division where you think you're safe with a working product but end up with an un-playable piece of crap that took your money.
I have this feeling that someday Konami is going to put out a press release that simply reads "The Aristocrats".
I was thinking about buying the 360 HD collection the other day. Thank fuck I didn't have any money...
