>he is a pretentious snob.
How? I mean honestly he deserves to be a pretentious snob since he's one of the greatest video game creators ever, if not the most influential.

>>713180896 (OP)
He's trying too hard to stay relevant

>>713180896 (OP)
He's a pretentious starfucker who's approach to game design has been to make hype as fuck trailers that he just throws a bunch of shit in that he thinks will look cool, and then works backward from there, trying to figure out how to work that into a game. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. He seems to be getting worse about that as he gets older, MGSV and DS being the two most egregious examples.

In hindsight, I'm kind of on Konami's side. He had to be reined in at some point.

He's extremely full of himself. But because he doesn't speak English (he can speak English) you don't sense how far up his own ass he is while he nihongos.

>>713181562
They still liked it after he made the changes, from what I heard.

If that's word salad to you, I wish you luck graduating 5th grade.

>>713181706
>He's extremely full of himself.
Is this what ruins you on what a good game is? I don't care how egotistical he is as long as he makes good games, I don't give a fuck.

>>713181478
He may be good and all, but the impression he gives is that he is a pretentious snob, and nobody likes that. He seems to try hard to be buddy-buddies with celebrities whenever he gets the chance, while looking down on the people who helped making his games great, too, like the english voice actors.

That being said, I do admire him, and I'd rather if he still had the reins for the MG series.

>>713181478
I agree he deserves most of his praise but its definitely gotten to his head. Dumping David Hayter has to be one of the worst decisions in videogame history. Now Kojima only works with established Hollywood names exclusively and seeks them out at film festivals and award shows like Jeffery Epstein at the DNC

>>713181931
It's not a good game. DS was only a thing because people had a lot of money and time to burn and it was the hot new talk of the town. DS2 will flop.

>>713182069

Well, it has gotten universal praise. Just look on Steam.

The source is in DS2 flopping. You'll see.

>>713181478
>since he's one of the greatest video game creators ever
All of his games outside of MGS 1 to 3, where his input was extremely limited, are pretty bad though. Nothing he's made in the last two decades has been above a 6/10 and he's nowhere close to any of the all time greats.

>>713182269
Can't wait to laugh at you once this game becomes another huge success. It's going to be glorious.

>>713182056
Yeah man, and Hayter specially was super into the series too. He no doubt was a great help in making the series better received both by his work and his interactions with the public.

>>713182338
He's never made one bad game. Even his weakest games like MGS4 and MGSV. They were still good despite being not that great compared to his other games.

I don't know. I think he's alright.

>>713182450
MGS4 and MGSV are mediocre at best. Neither are worth playing.

While he is a cinematic slob, he actually understand that gameplay is important, and does try to create new genres, sometimes successfully, sometimes not much.

When people argue against kojima, they include him on the blob of filmic retards like david cage and neil druckman, that are people that fucking hate that they're doing games and wish they were hollywood directors instead, but that's not kojima.

>>713183153
DS was a solid 4 out of 10 and the story was pure slop. Kojima's real problem is that he's just dumb as fuck and gets by purely on cheap aesthetics which he apes from Hollywood. None of his stories are even remotely interesting or complex. He's basically a dumber video game version of Zach Snyder or Quentin Tarantino and they're already dumb hacks.

>>713183416
wait til pc release

>>713183648
too late, you already outed yourself if you think that's a word salad

>>713183256
Exactly. Kojima loves video game mechanics, he loves gameplay, and he loves vidya in general. Yeah, he loves Hollywood to a fault, but MGS is a fucking great stealth game, with a TV series attached to it. Death Stranding has a lot of cutscenes, but it's not an "interactive movie" in the slightest. It has mechanics out the ass, down to your boots wearing down, and the mechanics respect player freedom too. Don't like MULEs? Avoid their areas. Want more combat? Go fight them. Etc.

>>713183736
it's his obsession with aesthetics over meaningful storytelling
you can only hamfist so many references to 80s/90s pop culture and still tell a thoughtful coherent story
and it doesn't help that it's his highly questionable view of how those (usually) western tropes play out

I like kojima but hes the ultimate example of
>it’s okay when he does it

I wouldn't even call him that pretentious.
It's all just masking. He's doing a bit to hype his brand and a bunch of retards are lapping it up whether they're sycophants like Geoff or retards on the internet who hate him. He's just a guy who likes movies and Hollywood but still manages to put a lot of effort into making sure his games have good mechanics and ideas.

>>713184068
>Reading comprehension.
I'm on your side, dude. Re-read my post. Death Stranding is a real video game, with actual mechanics. Those mechanics are all based around traversal. But when most people say "walking simulator" they're specifically trying to evoke games where you literally do nothing but press forward to advance the story. You don't do that in Death Stranding, you are always mechanically engaged with it. Especially on higher difficulties.

This, but unironically. Also, are you implying Kojima didn't get laughed at by plenty of people for Death Stranding? He had to argue with his own team to get that fucking thing made. Look at the reviews for that game. That game was a risk above all risks. If he just wanted to cynically make money, he would have just made MGS VI with the serial numbers filed off (which he is anyway, with Physint).

I platinumed it you idiot, bought it on d1, fooled by Kojimbo's mysterious trailers, played with no spoiler previews.
What did I find? A walking simulator where you deliver packages, where there is absolute emptiness, no NPCs, only holograms of more or less famous people and cutscene after cutscene of a badly told story, between flashbacks and non-sense expositions.
In MGS there is a minimum of logic, of epicness, here I felt nothing.

While I was facing one of the mandatory bosses jumping around in the slime and shooting a sponge of hp without any engaging gameplay, or one of the foot enemies with no AI and no challenge whatsoever, I wondered: why am I playing this? There is nothing in this game, just walking to deliver packages that unlock cutscenes and pointless flashback sections where you walk again, to reach an ending where you walk for 2 hours, between the beach and the incinerator.
It's a fucking walking simulator where you deliver packages to people you have NO CONNECTION with and you won't develop any, ironic huh? More than half of your time is spent with people you don't care about and the other half where there's no point in wasting your time delivering packages. The steering is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, it gets stuck, bounces, accelerates for no reason, flips over, I'm sorry you don't realize how horrible it is.

>dude you... you do things OTHER than walking ok???
>it's actually insane walking gameplay where you do something else other than just pressing W

>>713184947
>Im not calling it a bad game,
I'm not either and I'm also not assuming you said this either. But all I'm saying is, it's simply not a walking simulator. It's a storytelling cinematic game that actually has gameplay. It's something most movie games lack.. in Hideo Kojima's work, it's still a cinematic game while still never forgetting that it's a video game. And it still plays like one.

>>713184669
He watches almost every movie and appreciates a wide breadth of different films I don't see how this is a problem.

>>713184947
Yeah, fanboys are obnoxious, more at 11. I hardly think Kojima is an untouchable god. But the industry needs more people like him. You never know if an idea is going to work unless you try. The fact that the first thing he did when founding his own studio, was not make some crowd-pleaser, but instead a fucking bizarre metaphysical sci-fi hiking and logistics simulator where the very terrain itself is the primary antagonist, is king shit.

If anything, Death Stranding over-explains itself. There's basically an ingame wikipedia that puts every single term out in plain text. Imagine the absolute tard rage that'd ensue if Kojima did a Frank Herbert, and didn't explain most shit beyond context clues? DS is way more comprehensible than MGS is, the story itself really isn't that convoluted.

>>713185838

I'm not gonna call them the best shit ever, but they are good for what they are and have a sense of style and aesthetics. It's a popcorn flick, but it's also one that isn't trying too hard to be mass appeal. Frankly you just come off as a contrarian, calling us shit but can't even say your favorite movie.

>>713185226
Those are grunts, they do nothing, they are useless, you don't talk to them, they are useless for any purpose, same thing with the enemies.
I know what the theme is and in the game they are not all isolated, the theme is studied but not realized well for a videogame, you could still visit a city, which will never be done, only holograms, great! very nice to see them in a game of 50+ hours!

>More than half of your time is spent with people you don't care about and the other half where there's no point in wasting your time delivering packages.
Why did he bother completing the game if he didn't care about any of the people he was delivering packages to?
I'm also at a loss for how he could feel he wasn't making Sam build connections with them either considering how abundantly clear the emails and interviews make it that he is, in fact, making an effort to connect with them over the course of the game. They thank him warmly via chiralgram whenever he does a good job delivering stuff to them, too.

>>713186025
>They do nothing.
If you call out to them, they often give you useful items like blood bags, guns, repair spray, etc. This is how I know you didn't platinum it, you're completely retarded about some of the most basic mechanics in the game.

PT is not a video game, it was literally a playable teaser. That's what PT stood for. We'll never know, but if early dev stuff ever gets leaked, I'm almost certain Silent Hills was not going to play like it.

>>713186502
That wasnt in game, retard. The item was, but not Snake shilling.
Let the protag shill OUTSIDE the game, not during the game.
Christ, how far has the bar fallen?

>>713180896 (OP)
i grew up with his work and the campy adventures of solid snake are great for kids / teen boys. It wasn't until I got older that I realized how much he despises America. Being a starfucker only made it worse for him.

>>713186660
an experimental 7/10 stills beats a generic 10/10

>>713186709
He doesn't shill during the game. He just drinks it. And in all modern versions of the game, it's an in-universe energy drink. Funny thing is, if Kojima and some energy drink company collaborated to make real-life Bridges Energy, I'd buy a case.

>>713185983
>I tried to avoid it, actually. It was far to obnoxious. But its there.
There's no mechanic that actually forces you to use the bathroom. You can also skip the animation where Sam is using the toilet.
>Whats the message?
That and the Monster Energy product placement struck me as absurd fourth wall breaks, and I found them funny. Monster Energy still existing after the apocalypse is a bit of commentary on how powerful, enduring and all-pervasive consumerism is in our world today, also.
You also stop seeing Monster once you get access to Timefall Porter, for what it's worth. You don't even see Monster at all in the director's cut.

Also... did you play MGS4? The game where snake has an iPod and drinks Regain? Or MGS3, where he eats Calorie Mates? Or MGS2, where FHM posters are plastered on the walls of the Tanker? Did the Famitsu shoutout in Death Stranding chap your ass as well? This isn't exactly new for his games.

>>713186721
He remind me of Hasan Piker. Completely vacuous, hates America and yet still loves mass consumerism and Hollywood.

He doesn't despise America, just the military industrial complex that controls it.

I'm still salty about him changing the MC of this game to a blonde twink.

>>713186304
Oh, do you think making a noise and receiving a random item is a noteworthy interaction? Oh my god, there is more vital interaction with the Hyrule Castle Market NPCs in OOT, a fucking N64 game.
>game about isolation
It's a game about CONNECTIONS not of isolation, in the journey to connect everyone and myself no connection develops, except Lou who is always with us anyway, so this theme extended to NPCs loses its meaning.

>>713186464
An exemplary film for sure, I can respect that. I have seen that shit for 20 years I should really watch it again. Even that is just an adaption of Shakespeare though, it's not like we think Django is better than Ran it's a different appeal for different moods and atmospheres.

Go scribble some more anarchy signs on your notebook, buddy. Games are expensive, and product placement helps lessen the blow. Kojima takes product deals to help fund his games, like thousands of artists before him.

No he's right.

>>713186859
>>713186972
It amuses me greatly that even though the energy drinks and beer have the same effect on Sam, I had no qualms with drinking two beers before leaving my private room but never drank more than one energy drink at a time.

>literally laughed at people getting trolled over MGS2 when he said Snake was the main character the player would control
>claimed he had no choice but to keep making games or else he'd be killed since he gets death threats daily (and never provoided proof)
The focus on '5 minutes of gameplay, 15 minutes of cutscenes/talking' shit he invented means he is inherently the only reason aaa slop like god of war and shit exist
Ironically the only game he ever made post MGS1 that was good was the game he was told he was to only focus on the story on, MGSV

>>713187184
People who have never made more than napkin doodles sure do love to bitch about people selling out, don't they.
The irony of someone who plays fucking video games bitching about it is especially rich. Anon only plays independently developed games, surely...

>>713187054
The plot is about connection. But we're in the shoes of Sam, a man who specifically doesn't care about connection. He literally has a phobia of being touched, and it only slightly subsides by the end of the game. Again, you didn't even pay the slightest bit of attention. I feel bad for you.

>>713187315
I found it super funny. If you over-drink, though, you get drunk cutscenes. I had no idea they were even in the game until I drank all my Timefall Porter, and Sam freaked out and destroyed his room.

>>713187054
P.s.
I wish he hadn't left Konami, because it's clear that he gave and lost good ideas in Silent HillS and he can't use them but only imitate them to avoid getting sued.
I liked PT, MGSV and Zoe, I liked everything he did because it still made you play and feel something, in DS1 there is nothing.

>>713187030
I was too, but in hindsight it was kind of cool how Snake was off doing other shit in Big Shell and becoming a mentor figure to Raiden.

>>713188061

>>713188061

The NPCs are holograms because they're scared shitless of going outside and getting rained on or causing massive explosions.
>we do not develop any emotional bond with the characters because they can't touch him!
Pretty much everyone Sam meets bares their souls to him in their emails. Most of the main characters do it in person, too.
>Isn't it awesome to have character progression that doesn't change throughout your journey?
Genuinely, I think that's on you. You made up your mind about what this game was about early on and refused to take in any information to the contrary.

>>713188074
Zoomer trash like the guy you quoted hate it when someone challenges them during a game, they always just want to consume the same shit over and over again and don't know what to do with their feelings when someone like Kojima comes along to show them a whole new world

>>713188496
This is true. >>713181562

>>713188074
One of the most goated artists too. MGS is one of those series with an unshakeable identity where everything went right. For the most part.

>>713188061
That's 100% on you
The whole point of the game is Sam wants to isolate himself, but he is connected to everyone whether he wants to be or not. Those connections are how he goes to the Beach to stop the extinction, it's why when he says he doesn't know what to do he's told "How could you not?" And finally it's how his connection to the Bridges team is what allows them to save him from the beach in the epilogue.

I don’t think it was lazy. They chose to do this both because it was thematically appropriate and because voicing all of those emails would have been very expensive and time-consuming.
I thought it was very appropriate that people who live in shelters would probably be more comfortable speaking at length via text. They’re anxious, withdrawn people who wanted to take time to organize their thoughts before saying something more meaningful than “hey thanks man.” It’s honestly hilarious that you can’t understand this as someone who uses 4chan to talk to strangers.

>What did he do?

Nothing since MGS3 it seems. Everything after that has been mediocre slop or overhyped garbage like Death Stranding and P.T.

>>713180896 (OP)
Because either those "people" are paid konami shills, legitimate 92IQ retard niggers or both. Assuming they are not shills, Death Stranding was probably the hardest game in existence for them due to their stupidity. These kinds of "people" were always the ones who bogged themselves down with too much shit, tripped all the time and broke everything. They couldn't hold two buttons to balance themselves, something the game held in their face via prompt, thereby ruining every package and order they've ever accepted. They are incapable of understanding slightly abstract concepts, unable to come to sensible conclusions when some information is lacking, or they just outright lack the imagination to really care about anything other than graphics and gameplay (ie true slop enjoyers).

All you have to do is watch Dunkey play DS and you will know exactly the kind of person who is shitting on Kojima.

>>713180896 (OP)
>remind friends to not let hype/hate affect their opinion
They will straight-up acknowledge it but still go something along the lines of "yeah but you know..."
I'm not even criticizing them when I do it but reminding them they can remove that negativity from their life that gets them so worked up
It's basically being too lazy to form your own fair opinion OR just separating the fans from the work and assigning blame to the right people

This is not just a Kojima thing either
>lad who doesn't like FF thinks it's all turn-based

You just know this is true for most of these people, which is hilarious.

>>713188984
The cities in DS have nothing for Sam. It's not part of his job and the streets are said to be mostly empty, they just serve as a background. Yes they could have shown a few bunker interiors like the Higgs one when you unlock the ability to rest in them, but it's not necessary to get the point across. Especially since the game had a really short dev time and they had to cut a lot of corners.

Not sure if DS2 will let you enter the bunkers and get to know the preppers more intimately but you can hang out with your crew on a ship

I don't hate Kojima. I just hate the la creativdad persona of him. I hate the small subset of fans who deify him as a living genius. He is definitely not talentless, but I don't think he's a visionary either. His best quality I think is his openness to trying new things and taking risks in the process. At Konami he had the seniority and funding that allowed him to do that. Most developers do not have that luxury.

>>713195465
I honestly think that’s a very small subset of very brown third-world individuals. Personally I think he’s a cool artist and I connect with a lot of his work, I don’t know if I’d necessarily call him a genius. And I think that goes for most of his fans, broadly speaking.

>>713180896 (OP)
He exposed normalfags, so they hated him until he became mainstream. Now he's a popular polarizing figure

You faggots don't understand that he is making his game shit on purpose in reaction to how people reviewed his game, not because it is his true artistic vision. There's nothing more pretentious than that.
Art doesn't need to be controversial to be valid.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death Stranding. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the trigger buttons most of the traversal will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also Kojima's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his writing - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Hollywood movies, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these references, to realize that they're not just films - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Death Stranding truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning behind Amelie's existential catchphrase "Like Mario and Princess 'Beach'" which itself is a cryptic reference to videogame classic, Super Mario Bros. 2. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kojima's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Norman Reedus tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

This is especially obvious among western tranny devs who’ve been stripped of any creative autonomy and locked into the corporate grind, eternal wageslaves churning out asset-flipped slop, laced with the latest ideological fluff to appease shareholders. When they see someone like Kojima or Miyazaki actually succeeding with vision, artistry, and soul, their only reaction is bitter seething. Because deep down, they know they’re stuck in a system that rewards compliance over brilliance. They cope by pretending they're "pushing boundaries" or "telling important stories," but really they’re just glorified content farm workers playing pretend auteurs while assembling yet another gray-and-brown diversity checklist simulator. Their idea of innovation is adding pronouns to the options menu and replacing guns with feelings.
