>>715882438 (OP) Its mostly the people he surrounds himself now (Hollywood). Thats why you have weird fag shit in DS2 but no more sexy women. He still tries, like the photoshoot with the ladies, but you know ps2 era Hideo would have more bikini babes.
>>715882482 I personally enjoy the delivery and world traversal stuff, I hate the combat, I hate the story, I hate the cutscenes. I love Death Stranding, and I'll probably buy Death Stranding 2 when it comes to PC.
>>715882438 (OP) >High IQ obviously, at least he rates very high in the creativity department >Good writer, but needs someone to trim the fat of his work >Spends budget on competent actors and tech needed to bring them to life >Muh politics, ask me how I know you're a burger >Makes games with the tightest and smoothest gameplay while still remaining mechanically deep
>>715882438 (OP) >>still makes fun games this isn't true and hasn't been for 30 years

>>715883443 >Good writer, but needs someone to trim the fat of his work So a bad writer then? Writers spend several times longer editing than they do writing. At least that's how it is for professional writers. Games writing is a galaxy of shitters brightened by a few specs of mediocrity.
>>715882438 (OP) Weebs are always like: >"woah i love japan and their culture is so UNIQUE and SPECIAL and AWESOME !!!!" But when Kojima makes American-style movies with Japanese sensibilities, aesthetics and writing elements they all get instantly turned off and accuse Kojima of being a poor writer. It's sad to see.

>>715884389 >thinking in extremes I hate this trope in modern days. You can be good at something while not being perfect at it. Kojima falls in that category. Even at his worst, his work still remains interesting overall. That means he's good at it.
>>715884389 Games are not books. They are more like movies, collaborative projects. Kojima's problem is that nobody else in the industry has enough ego to push back and challenge him.
