This man has intentionally made 3 games worse on purpose (MGS2, MGSV, DS2) just for subversion of expectation

It's funny considering all his characters are plagiarized

You've never played any of those games and youre brown

>>715125508 (OP)
Kojima being a hack isn't subverting anyone's expectation.

MGSV not being Metal Gear Solid V: Revenge of the Sith is the least of its problems. It's still at its core just a bland empty Ubisoft game.

>>715125508 (OP)
My opinion on Hideo Kojima is whatever makes the most people furious.

>>715126032
He downgraded some of the stealth in it as well, on purpose because GZ was the polar opposite

Just like he did in MGS2 Tanker—>Plant

>>715125508 (OP)
He didn't make them worse, he simply chose not to pander to audiences, and it was worth it. MGS2 and MGSV are still amongst the most discussed games in the series to this day.

All of his games are kino tho (except V which is unfinished)

>>715126675
MGS2 almost was the death of the franchise because people didnt want to play as a twink. So much for it being worth it. People are just coping. it couldve been so good.

>>715127032
>death of the franchise
MGS2 sold over 8 million units

>>715127330
Yeah and how much did MGS3 sell on the ps2? 4 million? Yeah thats a sizeable drop oh yeah and peace walker was abysmal

>>715127438
4 million units is still good and Peace Walker released on the PSP. Metal Gear died when Konami chose to push out their golden boy Kojima in favor of pachinko shit and the abomination known as Metal Gear Survive.

>>715127553
4 million is not still good when youre coming off of 8mil with previous entry.

>>715125508 (OP)
it wasn't on purpose

>>715129483
If you could see the amount of precision and sophistication that goes into making these games you would not believe its unintentional. Bad games are intentionally bad.

>>715127553
>>715127746
MGS3 also released around the same time as Halo 2 and San Andreas, which Konami admitted was a mistake because Christmas was extremely competitive in 2004

>>715129602
MGS2 also released near GTA 3 and FFX and still sold what it did so what you just stated is a lame ass excuse.

MGS2 and V are the best, most defining MGS games

1 wasn't as gameplay oriented, 10/10 Visual Novel but it borders on a flash game in terms of gameplay complexity, borderline minigame setpieces

2 is the game that defined Metal Gear in technology, gameplay, and cinematics. It is objectively the defining Metal Gear game that the entire series revolves around.

3 is a specific reaction to 2. Kojima didn't even want to make it.

4 is a reaction to leaving Snake unresolved in 2

V is the most the series has ever attempted to mechanically and thematically evolve itself since 2 AND distance itself from 2 without being dragged down by it like the other games. It further enhanced cinematics to a point that lengthy dialogue is no longer necessary when the visuals themselves tell the story

>>715130087
V is flawed so badly intrinsically because they replaced the American voice actor which was canon. How is this even anywhere close to the best? Its looked at like a joke. Oh yeah lets just replace the most important voice actor in the series and ruin the long term image of the most relevant character

>>715129602
The retard will still see this and go "well the game was bad because the number was lower" meanwhile Expedition33 made people stop playing Oblivion among buying other shit immediately. Those games might be perfectly fine but the public spoke and said play this shit or you're a clown. Halo 2 and San Andreas were games e v e r y o n e had if you're 30 or so right now unless you were the dweeb Nintendo kid even back then.

>>715130207
Hayter was popular with the American crowd but I'm pretty sure the JP voice actors are just as popular. Japan had that level of respect for VAs long before the west ever did.

Kojima is a snake for it, absolutely. Hayter introduced him to Hollywood for sure. This thematically ties 1:1 into Phantom Pain where Kojima is a allegory for Big Boss. He sold out one of his most trusted soldiers for status, and was arguably asking to get fired with P.T. He wasn't fired, he sabotaged his own baby for the sake of the 'mission'.

Its kino.

>>715130087
Agree on all except V.
V isn't even a finished vision. It's like taking one of the earlier games and cutting it in half. You can only cope by saying "heh, this is why it's called phantom pain so that's what it was meant to be all along".

>>715125508 (OP)
Don't post. You are spam. Psychologu is bullshit.

>>715125508 (OP)
how on earth do you get filtered that bad?
Are you touched in the head?

>>715130087
>Kojima didn't even want to make it
Kojima has said this about literally every title past MG1. He wasn't even going to make MG2. I think it's just a small cope for him, "oh I totally would've been doing something else but..."
