When did you realize that Kojima is a hack writer? How hard was it to accept?

>you've clearly never flipped open a book in your entire life
For someone who supposedly reads books, I'd expect a bit more reading comprehension

When did you realize that Kojima is based? How hard was it to accept?

I love how morons like you desperately try to attack Kojima without even understanding the themes behind his work. His dialogue maybe a bit cringy, but he is a lonely Japanese man, and that is to be expected. Petty shits like you that go out of your way to shit on him don't deserve to be on this board. I hope this opened your mind up a bit. Thanks.

It's not the themes, but the poorly written characters, dialgoue and story that bring his games down. Retard.

Nice reading comprehension, nimrod.

Kill yourself, weeb retard

That one long codec scene in MGS2 about the Internet age has aged well.

Tch...asshole

When Kazuhira "If It's a Coon, I Shoot the Balloon" Miller was introduced.

I didn't pay enough attention to him or his writing back then but the moment I was done with Phantom Pain I'm 100% certain he's a fucking hack. Soap opera grade writing, faux philosophical themes, I mean if you loot at it all and think okay this is some cheesy shit then you might be able to appreciate it ironically but I doubt that's how he wants to be seen. Cunt seems intent on being an auteur.
Also "A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME" brings back memory of Romero's Daikatana and the egotistical ad campaign.

Skullface should've remained mysterious instead of having a 15 minute monologue and getting shotgun blasted to death. I hope he's taking some notes from his new senpai Lynch and leaving a lot of unanswered questions in Death Stranding. MGS4 overexplained and MGSV underdelivered (no thanks to Konami). Death Stranding will have a lot of people saying it sucks no matter what but I think he's learned a lot of lessons from MGS4-5 and will deliver some pure kino that gamers will hate.

MGS4

Made me sick and then MGSV came out and it made me hate.

Around MGS3 when Revolver Ocelot was killing bees by spinning his guns around

I realized that he went out of his way to write it into being a useful skill, and also that it was wildly out of tone with the horrible death happening around it

It was great, like finding out about Axe Cop

When I realized ALL game scripts suck compared to Hollywood and literature. And then I realized the gamers shitting on Kojima for his wacky and stylized narratives are absolute brainlets who couldn't enjoy the most stylish stealth and mecha games ever just because the text and cinematics were too long for their puny attention spans (i guess they didn't realize these were skippable).

>When did you realize that Kojima is a hack writer?
Policenauts/Snatcher, both are 90% plagiarism.

He's never been a great writer, not even by video game standards.

His work was still enjoyable, and most importantly entertaining though........well right up until MGS4, and which point he'd just become a self-felatiating ouroboros.

>When did you realize that Kojima is a hack writer?
People say this like it's a bad thing, but that's always been his schtick, he's always written and directed 80's tier schlock with over the top characters, obtuse stories and absurd plots and presented them in an entertaining fashion.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The problem is the vast majority of his fanbase are drooling retards who have played more games than they've read books, jerked off to more anime that they've watched classic films and in doing so have created a circle jerk bukake party for Kojima's ego to the point where even he believes his own bullshit. I mean has anyone ever called him out to his face on his plagiarism?

>to the point where even he believes his own bullshit
Your post was fine up until here. Kojima is a modest professional like most Jap directors, they aren't like rockstars. His style has stayed consistent and he's always been a relatively private and down to earth icon.

>hack writer
A hack would write the same uninspired shit over and over again. Kojima actually mixed things up sometimes with MGS, like 2 and V, which ended up pissing off the braindead fans. Yea Forums would like him more if he actually was a hack writer and just churned out endless Solid Snake sequels after MGS1.

If you want to understand why Kojima gets the praise he gets you only need to look at a typical triple a game's writing. He's hardly going up against the best.

I knew from playing half an hour of the first Metal Gear Solid that no matter if he's a hack or not, what he's writing makes no fucking sense to me, and doesn't capture my attention.

when i looked up who made the metal gear games

DID
>references a movie
YOU
>uses some common knowlege fact in a ridiculous way
RIKE
>uses pseudoscience that doesn't make sense
IT
>tries to be serious and over the top at the same time
?

when i played mgs1 and realized i was watching a movie
failure cant make actual movies so he ruins video games instead, same with HL2 ruining FPS

One thing that bothers me about Kojima is his reasoning for having the player play as Raiden instead of Snake most of the game in Sons of Liberty. Good game and I didn't have a problem playing as Raiden when the game released, but Kojima going on about how we all wanted to be Snake then giving us rookie Raiden was flat out fucking stupid.

Kojima, I didn't want to be Snake. I just want to see more of his story, I want to see him dismantle Metal Gears and generally do some cool shit. Raiden is fine but there's nothing wrong with players wanting to see Solid Snake's story unfold more.

Then he pulls similar shit with The Phantom Pain. Fuck this guy.

I can't remember. It was probably around 11 years ago, probably with MGS4 even if I did enjoy it. It wasn't that hard to accept, I just found out that he wasn't all he was cracked up to be. More proof was given in later titles, MGSV being a big one, but at that point I'd already stopped believing in him anyway. I don't know why anyone who's not a teenager still think he's hot shit.

hint hint, the whols "Pass on The Torch" theme in MGS2 was him telling you he doesn't want to make MGS anymore.
Then morons like you complained and we got 3 which retroactively ruined the series.

Snake Eater was great, and stop being mean to me.

Never. Just replayed 1-3, all masterpieces with a great story and good writing.
>inb4 Fukushima

Fukushima wrote some side dialogues. Kojima wrote all the dialogue, codecs, cutscenes. Even Shinkawa probably had more influence with coining snake being much younger in MGS1. Kojima is one of the best in the industry and thank God he can never be diluted by fags who want to see the same shit over and over until it's beyond stale.

Snake Eater was a fucking mess that ran at 20 FPS, broke the pacing with constant menu scrolling, and needed a balance breaking rerelease to get rid of the pacman camera designed for corridors.
I love it too but it was the beginning of the end.

Holy fuck every time
>muh BOOOKSSS
Every time some brainlet has to say this, what are you trying to say? Books dude. Books! Can you believe it? Fucking books, go read a book dude clearly fans of x have never read a book before..unbelievable..fucking millenials never read a book before. 5 star argument.

lmao, Kojima only rehashed MG2SS thrice. He's an incompetent writer, and both 4 and V lament my opinion that he had VERY little to do with the actual dialogue. Fukushima wrote the codec calls, Motosada Mori introduced all the tacticool shit, and the localization teams kept it from being complete fucking anime.
He even says that TTS is closer to his original vision, which should tell you enough.

haha you actually have never read a book before, have you?
christ that's sad, man

That's the thing, people who post that are brainlets who have nothing of value to say. So they say some vague statement about books and act like they just dismantled the entire series.

no, the thing is if you've read a single Clancy novel, you've been exposed to better Metal Gear

Jesus christ user, I can literally smell the no book reading on you. Get back to me when you've read a couple books, k?

Sorrows of Young Werther and Roadside Picnic are my favourite.
HBU?

>HBU?
Back to rebbit you pretentious smug faggot, I didn't ask what your favorite books are nor do I care.

Original Content, do not steal!!

Anyway, its so fucking obvious, just look at his twitter.
>Oh delicious food! WOW! Burger so tasty!
>Oh mah gahd! You goys wont believe who visited our office! Hideo!!!
>Some pseudo deep insight on some older hollywood movie
>Random picture of europe/murrika
>Fucking universal trails lol

Its so fucking obvious.
The guy is the same like the star ship guy. Forgot the name. Who did wing commander and is now scamming everybody.
Those people looooove hollywood and shit on our medium.
Everything needs to be a movie to these fucks.
Its so fucking obvious that it was NOT kojima who made those games great.
After more and more of the original team left it became more and more of a movie and turned to shit, the guy wasnt being held in check anymore.

Also those people always seem to love their own farts. Like they are so great and have so much great insight of how games need to be made.
Fuck him seriously.

Its so obvious this game will be mediocre at best and that would be from the effords of the team not this guy.

Meant to write universal studio trailers.
Couldnt believe this shit. wtf
I cant remember when he put a trailer for a game on there.

You're a fucking idiot.

He's saying Japanese media is too nationalist and therefore can't compete on global standards.

Neither Chris Roberts or Hideo Kojima make movie games (MGS4 aside). They are both also extremely knowledgeable about the technical level because they grew up in a time when directing wasn't completely seperate from the technical side.

Directors direct the entirety of their teams. So they ultimately take the responsibility of whether it's great or not.

You don't understand team-director dynamics and seem to have an irrational hatred for upper management. This sort of logic is why people think CEOs and "bankers" are EVUL.

Fucking idiots.

Someone give me a list of Yea Forums approved big brain writers so I can name drop them whenever I'm in an argument.

Hideo Kojima
David Cage
Clifford B
Hideki Kamiya
Todd Howard

>After more and more of the original team left
Like who? Fukushima and...?

Nah I really don't. I think the games have campy, wacky and fun writing with some cringe jap humor here and there, and I understand that the quality may be waning when being forced to keep going with a saga you're done with after the first or second game, but I enjoyed them thoroughly even when looking at glaring flaws, and I still enjoy to replay them every now and then. They're classic crazy westaboo games and no amount of shitposting will fix MGSV or give you vindication after getting mindbroken like a doujin girl by the amount of disappointment you felt after Sept 1st, 2015

Hey guys, remember me? I had my very own game and was retconned into another, but still praise and worship me!!!!! I'm supposed to be Big Boss #2, how cool is that?

>"War is bad" propaganda with westaboo-oriented anime characters with shoved into an anime plot centric on some random dead psychopathic "war is good, I jack off to it" weirdo on a cold island

I realized Kojima was a pretentious hack with MGS2, which surprisingly many retards still praise

Most people realized that with MGS4, and some extreme cases needed MGS5 to finally understand the truth.

Reminder that he always wanted to be a film director but used gaming as a platform instead because consumers are more gullable with that shit. You've been praising one of Hollywood's throwaways

>that would be from the effords of the team not this guy.
I love how MGS fanboys know so little that they think saying that a game is built by a team and not only the director seems like an novel idea to them and they speak it like that.

>because consumers are more gullable with that shit
Do I need to remind you that the majority of the highest grossing movies in cinema are dumbass, clonic superhero movies?

You do not need talent to make it in Hollywood, you just need to have contacts and/or be jewish.

MGS4 chapter 4, when Naomi killed herself for no reason even though she pleaded with Snake to live what little time he had left to the fullest in MGS.

I’m an idiot for not noticing it in at least Chapter 3.
