I mean, is his sentiment wrong? Not liking something but still being drawn to it and then realizing you have always loved it, is one of the best experiences you can have with art.

That confirms my suspicions he made DS retarded on purpose, which doesn't have the same punch as his earnest retard stuff. Kojima became a parody of himself.

why? i'm not touching shit i know i wouldn't like even if everyone around me tries to convince me otherwise. my personal view and opinion on it is all that matters. i see the gameplay, i hear the context of the story and i don't like? i simply don't touch.

This guy's games already have learning curves. Not that I didn't need another reason to not engage with Death Stranding.

>>712816427
>That confirms my suspicions he made DS retarded on purpose, which doesn't have the same punch as his earnest retard stuff. Kojima became a parody of himself.
you know what else confirms it?
the fact he tries so hard to make his games "artistic pieces", when back in 2006 he said picrel
and sure, one could argue that he has changed, but this change is either a facade to actually please the fans who suck his cock, or it's a change for the worse, cause he did better games when he didn't think the way he thinks now.

>>712815748 (OP)
That's why he's the GOAT.

>>712815748 (OP)
funny thing is i've seen quite a few game critics, who blasted Death Stranding initially, post addendums claiming the game to have grown on them the more time they played it. Maybe Kojima is unto something

>>712816772
Death stranding is better then anything his made before

>>712815748 (OP)
Genuinely, I think if you dont understand DS you actuall are retarded, the game was no deep or introspective at all and was easy to follow. It actually makes me lose hope in humanity if it somehow went over peoples heads, I always assume the reason people dont like it is because its a walking sim and has goofy as fuck writing.

Its like showing someone anime who doesnt watch anime.

Currently playing Death Stranding and I’m loving it so far. One of the extremely few AAA games I’m interested in 100%ing (dunno if I’ll bother with cheevos though). DS2 seems more combat oriented and seems like the world will be more populated and lively than the first one which gave this comfy and melancholic feeling of isolation that I really liked. DS2 should still be good though - my favorite parts of the first game where it’s focus on delivery and logistics and it’s unique tone that seems to comfort and encourage the player while also suddenly and abruptly scaring him with horror moments like the nightmare scenes and the BT encounters. It’s almost therapy in a videogame form. I’m hoping DS2 can maintain that energy while also bringing this new and innovative experience Kojima keeps talking about

>>712817029
Death Stranding does get off to a slow start, because you are bombarded with two hours of cutscenes and lore, but if you KEEP ON KEEPING ON, then you are rewarded with one of the best gaming experiences of all time.

>>712817379
>t. zoomer who doesn't know anything about Kojima
When will you retards understand Kojima is unlike any other dev, he wants to make NEW things that people haven't seen before, that's why you can bet DS2 won't just be like more Death Stranding, later in the game there will be some MAJOR twists, i'm talking about MGS2 big. This guy isn't fucking around and he gives zero fucks if you like it or not

how is he just so based? i cant believe this is the same guy that made the braindead ass fuck no friction metal gear solid games I hate, holy shit.
never would have thought id like kojimbo till death stranding.

>>712815748 (OP)
Too bad anyone playing his games are kojidrones sheep so it's impossible for them to dislike anything with his name on it

>>712815748 (OP)
death sharting sucked ass doe

>>712817806
Konami always kept him in check but now his full creativity over all those many years reading and watching the most weirdest and insane shit will be unleashed and i'm so here for it!

Kojima was on to something with that one character in MGS2 having armpit stubble. he truly is a genius. however i think he made a mistake not expanding on that concept in MGS4. I think that the female soldiers should all have had armpit cutouts where there was an area without fabric to show them off. I also think he should have made a list of 20 or so armpit hair styles and made it so every female soldier spawns with a randomized one. He had access to the technology with PS3s advanced hardware. i also think that he should have made some gear for Snake to use where he could detect the path that those guards had taken that operates on detecting armpit sweat clouds in the air. it would have looked like night vision. the controller would vibrate more frequently the closer you get.

>>712817806
Kojima can finally make what he truly wants, now that he has Konami off his back.

Also good in Sony for trusting Kojima and just letting him do his thing (within budget constraints).

>Proceeds to suck every celebrity cock in his perimeter
>"Oh I'm such a rebel"
I'm sick of this hack fraud

what is the appeal of death stranding? i've never played or watched clips of it.
>it's a walking sim... BUT LE GOOD!
all walking sims are trash. does it at least have good combat?

>>712817981
>Kojima can finally make what he truly wants
yeah, movies

>>712816772
I don’t see a great difference in philosophy wrt how Kojima designs games now vs then though. I think he’s always wanted to encourage mindfulness on the part of the player in whatever it is they’re doing (MGS is a stealth game so as to disincentivize violence and give its employment an added dimension, for example). In this respect Death Stranding is perhaps his most well designed game, one has to be mindful literally of every step one takes in that game. Not to mention the gameplay-to-cutscene ratio has improved dramatically in his latest works compared to earlier.

>>712817989
No anon, you're supposed to approach it in a hateful state because who the fuck likes walking sims, but then you see Kojima's name on the box and now you like it

>>712816401
When did this ever happen? The only game I didn‘t like at first but then came to like was probably tlou2. But I wouldn‘t say I love that game.

>>712817853
you couldn't be more wrong, zoomerscum. In the first game when they tested 4 out if 10 people liked the game but 6 absolutely hated it and Kojima reall liked that ratio but now everyone seems to love DS2 and that is a problem for him

If the same quote was posted but with Rian Johnson instead of Hideo Kojima people would be out for blood. I hate this auteur shit

>>712818165

>>712817989
Death Stranding is a delivery man simulator in a post apocalyptic setting. Walking around with a full load, and keeping balance so you don't tumble, is just one of the many mechanics the game has to offer.

>>712815748 (OP)

>>712817207
no it's not
i played it on release, and replayed it when it came to PC
loved the game, but it's the most pretentious and character-specific predictable piece of retarded crap he ever made
every character is a parody of itself, anything you'd expect them to do from the trope they oh so clearly represent they end up doing, and any deviance is also part of the "redeeming arc" typical of that trope, no originality, just leaning on those trope and making sure every character plays its exact trope specific role, so much he went and decided to give them trope names

>>712818038
>I don’t see a great difference in philosophy
really?

>>712815748 (OP)
I liked snatcher, and even policenauts. MGS1 was a masterpiece, 2 had some great ideas but was a little pretentious and weird, it probably should’ve been a new ip. Everything since that this man has touched has been complete garbage. Seriously, where did he get this idea that he was deep? His best works were the ones that were highly derivative of 80s franchises, and I don’t mean that as an insult

>>712815748 (OP)
The stabilize button completely trivializes DS1's gameplay so I hope this means that he removed it in the sequel.

>>712817989
"Walking simulator" is such a disingenuous thing to call Death Stranding. That descriptor was a joke name made to shit on artsy games like At Home with literally 0 gameplay.
DS is a game with where you deliver things by hand and overcome obstacles. Terrain needs to be safely navigated while handling big loads or fragile cargo, often times leading you through time fall rain that damages your cargo, ghosts that are functionally invisible, bandits and terrorists. Sometimes it's just the peak of a snowy mountain with low oxygen and freezing weather. You use gadgets and tools to navigate all these obstacles efficiently and safely, it's a peak gadget game.

Is that why Konami fired him, because he was open minded and willing to hear them out when they told him he has to stop being a retarded faggot who kept on wasting their time and money drawing on the game development for too long with shit it didn't need instead of just finishing it and refining the whole thing first, yeah?

>>712818214

Dude is literally a retard that has no understanding of what hyperspace actually is and how it (theoretically) allows FTL travel. Kojima clearly has an understanding of physics and would never create such nonsense.

Name one thing he did for the video game industry as a whole that had any type of long lasting effect on it. You can't.

>>712820594
Konami fired him because they wanted to pivot their games division to a mobile-first approach and Kojima was emphatically against that. I beg you, please do even the slightest modicum of research on a topic before deigning to talk about it, it really goes a long way towards not coming across like a frothing inexplicably bitter retard.

>>712820040
Sure is easy to make a statement like that when you are pulling it out of your ass.
We generally can't know what those artists truly thought, but we know how polarizing the reaction to their work has been over the years, and that kind of mixed reaction absolutely makes art and artists that are known throughout the ages.
Kojima's own work has a history of that already, with MGS2 and 4 being particularly divisive.

>>712822214
Kojima is actually unnaturally efficient with AAA game production. They made death stranding pretty quickly and are now putting out a second game with 2 others in pre production. Chris Roberts is an incompetent perfectionist who was never able to finish games on time.

>>712822130
The best sources we have suggest that Konami wanted to move towards a more mobile-centric approach at the expense of their AAA ventures and Kojima cried foul about this. I think Kojima himself admits that MGSV was over schedule by six months, which is not a huge amount by any means when you compare it with other big budget titles. The “MGS V was over budget” hypothesis however has little if any backing to it.

It’s a comfy game that simultaneously stresses you the fuck out. Story is an analogy for people suffering from personality/emotional disorders, don’t @ me. Also, it’s fun building shit in routes that you actually get use out of when you reuse that route again. Also, there’s something magical about how Kojima convinces players to do nice things for each other for basically no compensation. Likes rank you up and unlock more features, sure, but there’s really no reason for you to pick up some other player’s lost cargo and deliver it for him other than out of nothing but your good will

>>712822969
I found Death Stranding to be the biggest "open fridge meme" situation of the last decade or so. The first few reveal trailers shown some Silent Hill and Lovecraftian eldritch horror shit and my mind ran wild on the possibilities, but what I got was a fucking FedEX delivery guy game in your usual nonsenseical Kojima game with cringe character names. I wanna diehard, man.

Had nothing to do with money, all those journofags were all clickbaiting with zero effidence to pack it up and of course you braindead normie cattle believed them. The real reason was konami forced them to make the game also for ps3/x360 which was almost impossible and KJP was close to collapsing, on top of that konami forced them to keep removing scenes cause they were afraid of the shitstorm. When talking about war children some news outlet was literally using MGSV footage as reference, this is when konami got cold feet. There is a reason the waterboarding scene or venom running over burned corpses in africa was all removed in the final game.

He had back problems through the whole development of DS2, the fact that he still finished it so fast shows what a ambitious guy kojima is, imagine having to work 10+ hours or even more every day while barely being able to sit, Kojima doesn't get enough credit for this

We are on the verge of possibilities in gaming that were mere pipe dreams half a decade ago. people dont know it yet but SOON we are going to have AAA games with individual armpit hair strands being fully modeled and ray traced with real time physics based movement. 8k armpit textures. REAL TIME SWEAT PHYSICS where your character sweats more the more she moves around. DLC packs of 20 different pubic hair styles with higher geometry counts than entire xbox 360 character models.

This is a really good approach though. Did anyone ask for a game like death stranding? Or outer wilds? Or papers please? Or ghost trick?People are retards and if you only made games based on stuff they like already everything would just be a bland mishmash of zelda, fortnite and roblox.

Kojimbo meanwhile keeps shuffling around in order to feel included in a clique that no longer exist.
But at least he tries to be creative with it.

>>712824829
I have no problem admitting i'm a MASSIVE Kojima fan, I grew up with the MGS series. There is no other dev out there that comes even remotely close to Kojima, he's a true visionary mastermind

You're thinking of Portable Ops. Peace Walker was directed by Kojima.

I think it's something to do with contrarianism attracting retarded pseuds that people like you tend to be the ones who hate MGS3 while knowing nothing about the franchise

>>712825845
I wasn't joking ;)

He's a salesman, not a game dev.
Fucker managed to not only sell a walking sim, but get people to act like it was a triumph of gaming

>>712825624
Great, will the bull be wearing a matching outfit?

>>712822130
There's a lot of reasons, I think. First things first, kojima wasn't just a dev, he was an executive, he had control to assign budget places, like how he used to siphon budget from games like castlevania to pay into the metal gear solid series. 2nd, he seemed to have a lot of difficulty making the konami engine work on ps3/xbox360 which konami demanded mgsv to be on, which they did manage, which was really impressive.

But the consequence was he was nowhere near finished with the game, hes 6 months late, hes over his budget, and hes spending it on insane shit, like fairly big name actors like kiefer, big songs and other uncessary shit. Rumors are also out that konami didnt know about the silent hill demo, and were blindsided when he dropped it to drum up interest to try and convince him that he should make it, which would piss his bosses off, or that they were still in negotiations with reedus manager, and kojimas trailer/demo was cracked quick and everyone knew it was reedus fast, so his manager came back demanding more money, meanwhile kojima is late and overbudget on mgsv.

Then, allegedly, the current lead of konami was a dude in the mobile department, which became really profitable, which is why he's in charge, but he wanted to be in game dev, however, kojima snubbed him and wouldn't let him join, or disrespected him, and there's bad blood between the two. There's also a lot more, shits rife with theories and possible fake/true info.

>>712825862
MGS3 fucked the entire canon up to that point
as a result MGS4 took the blame

>>712816145
Its because he made mgs, aka the best vidya series in existence. He is allowed to be pretentious, but he needs a couple of guys who are not yes men, to pull him back every time he gets too far up his own ass

>>712826007
Yes.

Sometimes preconceived notions are wrong and it's ignorant to not examine things objectively and find out you were wrong. Maybe you WOULD like the game.
My preconceived notion that you are a faggot will stand strong, however. How the fuck does giving a game you might not enjoy a try equate to throwing your girlfriend a mandingo party?

I like his games for their neat dovetailing of mechanics and thematic intention (death stranding being the prime example of this). I furthermore like his storytelling for its bizarre combination of, all at once, total sincerity/emotional honesty, abject stupidity, and great profundity/insight (take MGS2 for instance, which features, on the one hand, a very intelligent meditation on the mires of the digital age and cultural lineage, and on the other, a bisexual vampire and an obese psychopathic bomb expert on roller skates).

>>712816401
Yes, because he's not making it how he wants to see it, he's artificially altering his vision in the opposite direction of mass appeal, because he knows he can afford to as the marketing and advertising will already guarantee mass appeal.
Compromising your vision for min. appeal is similar to compromising your vision for max appeal in the vein that you're still compromising your vision for whatever reason and are not being true to the art you initially wanted to convey.

>>712829028
Because making things more difficult or polarizing is actually just game design and phrasing things standard as novel is what retards do

>Tolkien, creates a book with a story that is still remember countless of years later and shaped the genre itself as it is and countless of other things within it; main motivation being he wanted to create some kind of myth for his country that he loved the same way other countries and cultures had theirs and weaved in truths about the human nature from within the Bible, as he was a staunch Catholic and knew of all those things in depth, leading to a story that truly speaks to people's hearts in its honesty and beauty when showing evil for what is and good for what it is.
>George Martin, creates a book with a story that did nothing but influence everything within the genre following its release to try and emulate it while constantly failing and the whole story itself isn't even finished, neither will it ever be, and the show that was based off the books ended in such a way that it disappointed everyone and kill all discussions for it; his main motivation being that he had a huge hate boner for Tolkien and wanted to specifically write something that is "anti-Tolkien" in everything that it stands, meaning, there is no distinction between good and evil, everything is morally grey, there was no sex in Tolkien's books, so in his, there be lots of explicit sex scenes and other nasty vile descriptions of people having diarrhea and other shit like that, there is absolutely nothing in it speaking to the base human nature since the whole idea is based on cynicism and nihilism from George's own morality and view of life that he made up in his own mind, which doesn't resonate with anyone, it's all made up for show and shock value.
Tolkien is remember and will continue to we way into the future while Martin will die and his story will be forgotten by all, baring the few times it might be brought up as an example to how you DON'T go about doing this type of stuff and how NOT to write things.

Go challenge your masculinity by going out and sucking on some big fat fucking dick and then swallowing the load as well while at it. It's not your preference, is it? Or maybe it is, you wouldn't know unless you tried it, right? So go right ahead and do that then see whether you're still has secure in your masculinity or not, maybe you can start being more feminine afterwards and wear more girly clothing and whatnot to further challenge your straight preference, yeah? You don't know unless you try.

>>712827353

There’s no incentive at all for you to help someone. In most games, you are incentivized in some way or another to cooperate. Sometimes you’ll gain more rewards for helping people, sometimes the game is designed with cooperation in mind, sometimes the game is literally unplayable if you’re playing solo, or sometimes it just makes things easier if you bring an extra body to take the hits for you. Death Stranding on the other hand is like the shopping cart of videogames. You don’t HAVE to stop in the middle of the road to pick up someone’s cargo and then get back in your bike and keep going along your way, but it’d be nice if you did

Does he even take care of or looks after his own children? He seems to be more interested in his work life and how people see him than he does about spending time with his family.

Kojima has never made a good game

I will always be a fan of his ever since he said Americans are too retarded to like Death Stranding.

>>712815748 (OP)
all his games were mainstream outside of ZOE2. the fuck is he talking about

>>712816401
Usually this sentiment is "I will present my art regardless of what people think". Society calls this integrity.
What's described in OP is "I will deliberately change my art to make people dislike it who are already enjoying it". Society calls this contrarian faggotry.
Literally Kojima is outing his own art for being too easily digestible at its core and he's disappointed that he just isn't as naturally pretentious as his film culture idols. Hope this helps.

retard. grow your IQ level before trying to talk shit like this.

I'm starting to think Konami didn't treat him badly enough. This is why self-proclaimed artists must be criticized. Kojima has had legions of nuthuggers and ball lickers ever since the 90s.

The real answer is that most gamers have abhorrent taste and that extends to aesthetics and the fine arts. There's no other audience that would have accepted Kojima's drivel being passed off as something serious.

The opposite is soulless too. Don't be an autist where everything is either mass appeal slop or divisive art. That's how you end up with retards like Kojima, literally seething that his game is actually more mass market than he wished it was.

>>712838831
Its modern drivel that tries desperately to be seen as art. Kojima's games are full of kitsch, they are the opposite of pretentious or try hard, especially in this era of oscar wannabe AAA games

He makes great games while making low IQ mongrels seethe.

>>712839659
This would've been easier to argue at any point before Death Stranding. Demonstrates what a mistake it was for the industry and gaming culture to blow so much smoke up his ass for the previous 20 years.

The reason why it's not is because /v/ is in the same or lower IQ range as normalfags and they want easy digests just as much if not more than they do
There's a reason why Expedition 33 was getting shilled here so hard and it's not because it was a good game, but because it's the most easily digestible RPG released in 30 years. It's a literal game for retards.

>Its not his vision anymore because he changed it

This is why Kojima always filters /v/retards.

>>712816145
He's right though. If you want something aimed at everyone liking it immediately, you have limitless choices.

>>712833115
Everyone shat on Death Stranding for it's first year. It took for it to come on PC for actual non-retards to play it and see what was going for. I was never into Kojima hype, but pretending like he never took any risks or had shit handed to him is disingenuous faggotry

>>712817987
whatever-number post best post

>>712815748 (OP)

>>712835625
Anon, Kojima's statement means that his vision is not actually sufficiently challenging to people. He's just too much of a faggot nowadays to be content with it. Because some art is challenging means in his delusion that art can only be challenging.
The other anon is correct. Altering your vision in response to others means you're self-conscious, inauthentic, compromised, etc. Call it whatever you want but throw all the pretense of being le serious artist out when you let other people affect your creation like that.

>>712818737
testers are there for bug checking and to see if people like the story
no one care about their input on difficulty

>>712833737
Eyes wide shat had fucking Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in it. What's your point nigger.
Besides, he is reacting to the hands-on reactions, not the shilling on social media. Tbh it all might be bullshit. But still, you niggers can't read.

>>712844714
Correct, he is talking about presenting a vision unaltered for the masses while altering his vision for the masses in a way that has been done for decades in design and playtest but is now being presented as something novel or sophisticated to you, because you don't know better.

Alright porters, give it to me straight:
Do I buy a ps5 for DS2 or do I wait the 6-12 months for the PC port?

>>712816145

>>712845603
NTA but most polarizing art, under ideal conditions, is not deliberately so. If you're a real person with specific tastes, experiences, and a perspective, then sharing that will simply naturally offend some people you share it with. Polarization is usually just a happenstance consequence of a real person being real with their audience. Setting out to deliberately polarize people seems like a really farthuffy thing to do. You're not being real. You're being contrived based on people's reactions. The real Kojima is just too mainstream and he sounds like he resents that.

That's like the lamest hipster faggot uncool version of oatmeal-sama

Kojima is based, gatekeeping is good actually.

>>712845727
For all the shade Kojima has thrown specifically at the FPS genre as far back as MGS4's marketing, he seems to favor gameplay that's often shittier gameplay mechanically. I mean 3rd person shooter became THE generic normalfag genre back in the 2010s.
Then if you start naming something like Ico, where the combat in the game is deliberately non-gratifying because its focus isn't combat, then all the posers just scream "no no no that's too much I still want action gameplay that's similar enough to other games I'm already familiar with".

>>712822130
It's because of a change in management, during that time I think Konami was like having a change in ceo or something and that they wanted to focus more on gacha/slot machines for maximum profit. Which is the metal gear survive happened and that a lot of the mgs games are in pachinko.

>>712846368

The first game actively punishes you for killing anyone and it's only in the last couple hours that shooty shooty bang bang combat becomes the focus.
Seems like the second game is more action heavy though.

>>712815748 (OP)

Isn't he doing the same with this? He wants you to genuinely like it for what it is and not because of what it presents on face value. Let's be honest, who the fuck would love a walking simulator game?

Not when the art in question is just something made to ruffle people's feathers. That's just an elaborate insult. When people slam something by calling it "inoffensive", they're not saying it should be offensive. They're saying that it has been self-consciously over-assessed with focus groups, engagement data, etc to be inoffensive to achieve a specific result, such as maximum revenue.
The sin is self-consciousness in the art, not the result being found pleasing to people. The idea that self-consciousness in the art just for the opposing result is not at all better. It's just another product.

Probably the only game in existence where watching the trailers and pre-release ganeplay is more fun and exciting than actually sitting down and playing it, I'll never fucking forgive him for burning me that hard.

>>712820603
Johnson was a troll, he liked making fun of what he considered "nerd shit". Kojima actually thinks he is Da Vinci reincarnated, but I wouldn't blame him completely, dorito pope and a whole bunch of the american media have been feeding his ego while they show him like fucking king kong.

>>712848451

Maybe DS2 won't find mainstream success. Then all this pretense would be at least slightly appropriate. Still gay and repulsive but it's easier to run with when big publisher Sony tells you to go fuck yourself for not selling well.

Comes across as a midlife crisis to me. Kojima used to be anxious about not making Hollywood blockbuster schlock and made choices with MGS as a cope for that.
Now it's the same but he's anxious about not having some gay starving artist story.

>>712851503

Not going to say kojima deserves the credit he's snubbed from others in the past but these games would literally never be made if not for him. At some point it is his overarching presence that shapes the game but he should shut the fuck up and let the other talent shine more if they would like that. Japanese people might be too meek to accept it though so maybe his attention seeking takes a loaf off their shoulders from having to do PR.
