wtf I love Kojima now. I love racism, misogyny, and fraud.

Imagine being so mind broken by this dude who just watches movies and makes decent video games. We're seen so many celebrated creators unmask and meanwhile this guy is only guilty of being a bit pretentious and playing it off as a gag. You'd think this guy was Neil Druckman the way people piss and shit and moan when they hear his name.

what causes someone to spend all their time, cultivating a digital identity around an IP (especially one so closely tied to a single creator), only to go and shit on that creator, IP, and everyone who likes it? last thread i saw someone say that this is midlife crisis behaviour and i can believe that. but i'm disappointed by discourse. i wish people could enjoy the things they like wholeheartedly instead of trying to pretend to be someone they aren't by liking them "ironically" or with a level of critical detachment that makes them appear to hate the thing(s) they spend all of their time on. an honest 35 year old sonic fanboy is a thousand times more tolerable than these sad saps who spend all of their time hating the things they used to love. rather than expanding into new territory and loving new things, they just turn into piles of vitriolic hate for that which they loved. i've been watching superbunnyhop stream for the past year and a bit and he does the same shit. the last few weeks he has been playing death stranding, claiming he is part of the "defense force" for the game, but spends all his time while playing shitting on the game for not making sense (and it only doesn't make sense because the necessary information needed to truly understand it is seen as "cringe" to him).

Who is this guy anyway? I never played any of his games. I do want to play that PS2 car game.

He’s just a hack, the japanese John Romero. He maintains respectability just because that’s how japanese culture works, as opposed to american culture, that would allow him to crash and burn on his own, no fucks given

>>712536027
it extends beyond MGS. it's people who "love" anime yet any time spent discussing anime is them distancing themselves from what is "problematic" or "childish" from the content. it's people who have podcasts dedicated to star wars or star trek or capeshit and do nothing but relentlessly shit on the product coming out. it's people who don't know how to make a joke if it isn't extremely sarcastic and ironic, distancing themselves from ever having personal attachment to anything. this metal gear thing in OP is just an example of a much wider attitude.

why can't people love again? do they not believe love can bloom on a battlefield?

This is what I love about Kojima. He’s so (most likely unintentionally) fucking funny that it’s impossible to take him seriously despite how much he himself and his games take themselves seriously. I’ll never know if he’s just a massive troll, if he just wants to undercut how serious he is so he doesn’t come off as a snob, or if he just has a complete lack of self awareness. But I’m simply incapable of disliking Kojima. I fucking love this man and I’m gonna be sad when he croaks

I was just thinking last night about how awful it a timeline we got with Disney taking over Star Wars. It was easily my favorite franchise growing up.

Metal Gear isn't about realism you fucking stupid bitch

>>712538808
>I'll never understand why a cyborg raiden is seen as More realistic than abby a woman with muscles
do you not understand tone? i don't care about a woman with muscles and think that discussion was overblown, but you are making a false equivalence. the tone of the last of us is supposed to be more grounded and realistic, the only nonrealistic element they actively put in was the apocalypse/clickers for the setting. everything else is trying to take the subject matter as seriously as possible, trying to make the main fantastic element believable while using the fantastic elements to really bring attention to the realistic elements (like human connections). metal gear on the other hand has a fat man on rollerblades who bombs shit, named fatman for his body and after the bomb. he has a shirtless native body builder with a gatling gun chasing you around a frozen warehouse. he included an austin powers-style implied shadow sex scene in mgs3.
the complaints about abby being muscular were overblown, but surely you must realize the difference between how people respond to media when the media itself has a completely different tone, one takes itself seriously and one constantly pokes fun at itself. the one that pokes fun at itself constantly makes it harder to criticize it's elements like throwing nudie mags in front of guards to distract them and one that takes itself super seriously trying to posit things as a realistic element.
this is also one of the main sources of disconnect for many fans with MGSV. the game took itself too seriously, and it is hard to take seriously any comments it might try to make on the war on terror/gitmo/MIC when it is part of all that other shit i previously listed while also adding in new shit like WOLBACHIA VOCAL CHORD PARASITES.

>I had zero issues with MGSV taking itself seriously
i really like MGSV, i was just making a point of how many fans responded to it.
>The subject matter shouldn't be treated like an ironic joke just so people don't have a problem consuming it
that's not what i said, though. i said many people took issue with it because it is attached to a series that had previously been very silly, and it is tonal whiplash to go from the final boss of peace walker, a young woman pretending to be a teen in her underwear piloting a mech she stole from you while JPOP blasts in the background, to MGSV with its gitmo parallel, twin tower references, graphic torture (as opposed to the cartoony electric shock torture of previous entries), rape and sexual humiliation of POWs, etc. the issue is that you cannot ignore all of the previous content/tone that led to MGSV and then discard it. it isn't that people cannot consume that type of content without sugar coating, it is that taste of sugar is still in their mouth from previous entries and that is a distasteful contrast to the bitterness of MGSV.

>>712540926
For all the nonsense that makes up Death Stranding it really has some of the strongest theming of any game narrative. Sam is a guy who was connected to everyone and everything, but didn't want to be. He reconnects and forms new connections. When you take away all the sci-fi fantasy it's still a powerful story, probably Kojima's most coherent one to date.

a lot of people wanted more of what we know of big boss from previous games, with more dialogue and quippy lines. a lot of other people (with some overlap) wanted to be served something that more overtly shows "men becoming demons" than what we got. there are different people with different wants, but the most resounding negative response to MGSV was "this is not metal gear". also, you're splitting up TPP and GZ as if they are different games when they aren't. there were massive complaints about GZ and how it handled the rape of paz extremely poorly, was not a good analogue to abu ghraib, and made much worse by the fact that the series is half comedy.
>Sounds like Metal Gear fans just have no idea what they want.
on the one hand, yes. fans of anything are often incoherent in their wants. they want "a realistic, down to earth show that is completely off the wall and swarming with magical robots".
on the other hand, anything will sound incoherent when you start conflating voices from conflicting sides.
>>712542537
>He doesn't discard it. But I also disagree with "cannot", it's his, he can do what he wants with it.
it is mostly discarded. a tape about "miller's maxi buns" does not equate to even a tiny fraction of the silly shit in previous games. and sure, he could do what he wants with it. stephen king could also write a story about how pennywise becomes a silly TV clown and it is entirely lighthearted and fun with no scary elements. but the audience will respond with the knowledge of the character, the previous tone of IT, and everything. you cannot just wipe the slate clean entirely, people already have ideas in their head. he cannot do it because he cannot control what is in people's heads.

The game is still filled with innately absurd things. If Kojima was so afraid of them then I wouldn't be attaching balloons to people a as they scream before being launched intro stratosphere. I wouldn't be throwing around life sized snake balloons or pretending I am a cardboard cutout. Quiet wouldn't exist, or even the eyepatch dogwolf with a knife. Snake's 3 second clothed showers wouldn't either.
Audience is rather favorable towards MGSV so I am not sure that's true. People at large like MGS mostly for cool soldier commando agent stuff, which V delivers.

It's actually hilarious having seen the MGS fan base go from "kojima is god" to vilifying him completely, simply because he made fun of them with MGS4 and also stopped catering to them.

They constantly put this guy on the highest possible pedestal, and then did a complete 180° claiming that the "other guys" were actually the ones making the MGS games good, DESPITE Hideo's sabotage.
Especially hilarious considering that these "other guys" individual credits outside of MGS are abysmal and the most defining trait of MGS has always been direction, which was firmly in Kojimbo's grasp.

It's fucking funny watching these clowns honk their horns. It was already funny when they sent in death threats just because he didn't wanna make MGS4.

>>712547085
I've seen people claim that Shinkawa is the real genius behind every Kojima game. I mean credit where its due he is a genius at his job and I'm sure he had his hand in a lot of cool concepts but it's crazy how desperately they want to take Kojima out of the equation.

>>712536760
> it's people who have podcasts dedicated to star wars or star trek or capeshit and do nothing but relentlessly shit on the product coming out.
Are you saying that if someone is a fan of a specific videogame, they can never be critical or talk shit about later entries wearing it's skin? The fuck?

>>712547402
I think Shinkawa and Kojima are a match made in heaven. Kojima has ridiculous ideas and Shinkawa designs all those ideas to look so goddamn cool

>>712547579
no, the point is people who have had their lives consumed by shitting on that which they loved rather than going out and finding new things to love or making new things in the spirit of that which they loved. i liked star wars before and now its shit, so i stopped paying attention to it. it is literally that easy. i can still put on the original trilogy and have a great time without feeling the hate bubble up inside of me because disney now owns it.

i actually preferred how mgsv is so serious. I finished playing peace walker right before it and the ambiance in MSF is so nice and lighthearted, Kaz is a womanizer, everyone is having fun and parties etc. Then after big boss goes into a coma and the events of TPP start, Kaz is jaded, the atmosphere is tense, huey is a rat bastard, paz is dead, chico is fucked, strangelove is gone and everyone is bitter. Felt like that contrast is what made the game stand out even more. I don't know how to properly explain it. It's like the xof attack fucked everyone mentally and that's why mgsv is so serious

>>712553656
Yeah you braindead fucking zoomer trash, he's so narcissistic that he's even using now a fan's profile pic on X, literally kys you worthless piece of shit.

Even the translation and "kino" localization isn't written by him. The massively iconic cheesy and corny Hollywood lines of MGS1 are all made up by Jeremy BlauSTEIN, a Jew LMAO. For MGS2 they got a Japanese female writer, an actual writer that writes political articles and ghost writers for politicians, an actual turbo autist when it comes to writing, and happening around conflict, war torn nations. An Ivy League uni grad. She was so critical of Kojima's lack of skill in writing department, basically calling him a hack, a subpar Ridley Scott wannabe, a cheap Tom Clancy knock-off, Kubrick wannabe, calling his work "fanfic tier writing" OUCH LMAO. Kojima got so butthurt he had Konami nuke the article off the original website with DMCA or whatever, but that article and interview still survived to this day. He got so scarred by it they forced the next localization translators for the next games to sign NDA and their identities hidden. Lol. Lmao. Imagine having an actual turbo autist educated reader/writer roast you, calling you a hack. It's not the first time too. Many who's worked with him have expressed their feelings on the work condition and his narcissistic tendencies. Both local and foreign. They were pretty much shunned by Kojima if they didn't appeal to his vision and gets kicked out of the team. A handful of lesser known, and even big names, like fucking Hayter himself. Kojima is trash.

MGSV is such a good fucking game despite being blatantly unfinished, and Death Stranding is easily one of my top five games. They just don’t make shit like that anymore. Well, hopefully with DS2 maybe

There are valid reasons to hate Kojima
Racism and misogyny are not those reasons
Sounds like some faggot video

>>712557287
>There are valid reasons to hate Kojima
such as?

>>712559543
Sold off Silent Hill and Castlevania to western devs. Fired all of the original Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra and Gradius devs.

>>712559675
The new SH is being made by gooks.

>>712554634
I personally don't really use the word racist on the internet daily, I just don't like the kind of pandering it feels like. Although Nioh didn't bother me. I think it's the combination of such a ludicrous african backstory with a person that feels like a very awkward and silly everyday white guy at least with the american VA.

>>712559675
>hating him for things he had zero involvement in
Very valid reasons.

What will influence his next masterpiece?

>>712560246
He was the chief of the entire Koniami game division you retard. Konami is a huge conglomerate not a game company.

>>712559675
proof? silent hill was made by western devs before kojima became vice president. castlevania i get that he was involved in lords of shadow, but there is no reason konami couldn't have made another one, especially after his departure. both contra and gradius are not his doing either.

>>712534827 (OP)
>metal gear lorekeeper
>biting the hand that feeds him
curious

>>712560375
which he became in 2011, after all those things had already been failing. lords of shadow is the only one he had any involvement in. it's like saying "he was VP of the gaming division in 2011, therefore all the pachislot shit konami was doing before then and up until the present are his fault! he's literally the worst for wanting everyone to gamble!!!"

>>712560692
Yeah let's pretend Konami hasn't become a MGS company after he got his own studio.

>>712560692
Igarashi left after Kojima disbanded the CV team and ordered several Patchinko machines(yes even the one that came out a month after he left was commissioned by him)

>>712551082
>>712552307
Wanting Raiden to be black is a retarded take, and there should be more white Afrticans in games so retards like them won't have an image of Africa = 120% blacky ooga boogas but he should've had African accent at least.

>>712536027
>Outer Heaven Network comes to mind.
it's really just drk, he's incapable of not complaining about MGSV every five seconds, it's bizarre. Threedogg is capable of engaging with the game's themes and ideas and doesn't just bitch about it constantly. drk doesn't even have to be playing MGSV to complain about it, he makes the Peace Walker playthroughs insufferable because he literally spends the entire time complaining about MGSV.

>>712536760
you're kind of talking about two different groups of people. the "distancing" types are the ones who are embarrassed to still be liking anime and view it as childish and want to to be more "mature" so they can talk about it with other adults and not feel ashamed. they're like the Star Wars fans who love Andor because it's so dark and gritty and mature and they talked about immigration and rape so it's an adult series now.

the other side are just like mindbroken people who made these IPs part of their identity. it doesn't matter how bad or how woke the franchise gets, they will obsessively watch and complain about every single thing to come out of the IP because it's part of who they are.

>>712534827 (OP)
Did Karl Jobst jump from attacking Billy to Kojima?

>>712538261
The older you get you know new words, even know what they mean. Such as plagiarism

>>712538573
"Vice President" is just a ceremonial position. it didn't offer Kojima any real power in the direction of the company as a whole or its gaming business. the gaming industry was going through a real downturn during that point, budgets were beginning to explode and Konami just couldn't keep up, especially because gaming isn't their main moneymaker.

>>712536760
I feel like there is two distinct categories who do this.
You have the ones who it feels like you are talking about but mix up with the other group a bit, which is the ones who are trying to move away from the thing but for whatever reason can't. Be that financial, all of their success it based on it, or they just don't really understand that they don't like it despite so much of their identity being based around it.

Then there is the other group, which is people who genuinely enjoy thing, but dislike what is being right now and complain about it because they are unhappy with what is available. You can clearly tell the difference when something good or that they like comes out they are happy about it and will try to talk about good thing.

I feel that these groups are very different and you are conflating them, the top absolutely deserve to be shit on for being awful people. The second group is just not being severed properly with what they want

>>712547085
most Kojima hate these days stems from people who are upset that MGSV's story didn't conform to their retarded fan theory they dreamed up from the trailer. they'll screech and twist themselves into knots to show how this isn't the case when you point this out, but deep down they know it's the truth.

>>712560375
no he wasn't

>you're kind of talking about two different groups of people.
i know i am lumping different groups of people together, but the end result of why they are the way they are is the same. destructive, combative discourse about why everything sucks, which in turn creates a zeitgeist of malaise. it creates feedback loops of negativity. i'm tired of it because you almost cannot escape it. any goddamn thing you can think of will have some dreary motherfucker telling you about how it sucks or how your should feel bad for your engagement with that thing for whatever retarded reason they can come up with. the answer to this issue used to be "go outside and stop staring at a screen", but now everyone is so glued to their fondleslabs that they become mouthpieces for retarded discourse you've read a thousand times before.

>>712561160
I wonder how much of it is an issue with the american VA. He talks in a way that's much too familiar, like any one of a dozen people I know and understand in the real world, but his backstory is completely wild and unrelatable. Snake is an imitation of Snake Plisskin who in turn was basically a parody of Clint Eastwood in the Sergio Leone movies, a larger than life figure with a super stylized voice and behavior

>>712562739
Listen to Raiden's Jap VA. It's far, far more masculine instead of sounding like a small lispy theater kid voice. MG2 basically had a botched localization. When he acts like a real person it's supposed to be in contrast to his tough Sergio Leone style stoic delivery.
