listen i love the mechanics of his games. the attention to detail, the art direction.
but his stories are kinda crap. his best games were made when he was forced to answer to authority. when given cart balanche he meanders around the plot, gets distracted, dumps the narrative to chase some shinyer meta narrative that is not set up, and never ever pays off. and i have played all his games always hoping to get back to that high of the original metal gear solid, or metal gear solid 3 (fuck you metal gear solid 2). and Death Stranding stole its world building from Blades in the Dark.
kojima is a hack.
