So does Kojima belive his own bullshit or is he taking Sony on a wild ride then running away

Rent free.
I'm not sure I understand this comment. People usually post this in console war threads saying that either Sony or Nintendo is living rent free in the other sides head. But OP is only talking about Sony here.
A little bit of both. Kojima legitimately thinks he's god's gift to video games but is also taking full advantage of Sony's blank check.
Kojima is a visionary genius and one of the few people who truly understands what video games could be and has the clout to achieve his vision.
Not realising this is a clear sign of absolute horrendous taste that should be rightfully ignored
>what video games could be and has the clout to achieve his vision.
A game with a lot of cutscenes?
Filtered.
>MGS4
>MGSV
>Peace Finder
sure bro
Kill yourself
>has the clout to achieve his vision
could have fooled me after MGS4 and MGS5
>every MGS game which Hideous Kockjima didn't write for are the best
Gee I wonder why...
>kojima timeline is literally food, movies, products and other movies
>assorted with photos/articles of kojima meeting up with another celebrity/musician/actor
>still absolutely nothing regarding death stranding's gameplay or trailer or demo
The fuck, he's literally an 'ideas guy' using his time and money to meet with western celebrities and pretending they love him
That game will be a fucking 7.0 whenever it actually comes out
bet he cant even pronounced that
my dude, every reply to anything on Yea Forums has to be two words or less than 10 syllables, yknow, "based, cringe, have sex, rent free, seething"
>ra re ru reh ro rahnd
Kojima is the George Lucas of video games. People give Lucas credit for the best films which are unusually the ones he did the least on.
I've played and beat every MGS, although for some of them(MGS4) I really wish I hadn't.
But LucasArt was a good studio
that is the point of la le lu leh lo since in japan there is no L sound so it impossible to pronounce
that effect is lost to american audience
The fact that people scout out his social media and expect every little thing to be about his work is hilarious. I don't expect shit out of Death Stranding, but jesus has social media plagued all game discussion when you fucks care so much about the person and not the game itself (which is funny cause there is little to none of the game shown).
That's the point idiot. The la li lu le lo were a secret society based on a real historical incident where the Japanese government banned the L sound from their alphabet in order to rid themselves of Chinese influence (Chinese has the La Li Lu Le Lo sounds). So those became "forbidden" words in the Japanese lexicon.
Combine this with the fact modern day Japanese people have to learn how to pronounce the L sound when learning English and you can get an understanding of why he named the American secret society this.
Not him but while they put out plenty of good games, they could also be fucking horrible at times. They only look good in comparison to EA.
You know, he could just... like making games?
Why does there have to be some kind of ulterior motive to it, can you not just have a passion or at least joy in your life and job?
But 1, 2, 3 4 and Ground Zeroes had a lot of Kojima involvement.
>you will never rail coke with kojima
why live bros?
He's an idea guy given an unlimited budget. He's doing both.
>Kojima actually liked La La Land and The Shape of Water
How does he manage to be such a pleb?
Huh, that's actually pretty interesting.
La La Land was fuckin' great though
No idea about Shape of Water but La La Land is solid, plus Japan loved it too.
can't wait for the realese of DS.
it's gonna be a great shitshow
the japanese david cage
this hack is just draining money to enjoy a nice life ready to shit out a subpar game that, if it doesn't sell well, will just be remembered as too "complex" for the "gamers" of it's time
A lot of the former and a little bit of the latter.
What a gay
I'm already close to quitting Yea Forums altogether and I know that no matter what Death Stranding will make the shitposting turn up to 11
What's wrong with The shape of water?
That's an Insult to David Cage. At least Cage has work ethic.
He really doesn't. Weren't both Farenheit and Heavy Rain in development hell for years?
I like how this purposefully leaves off Shuyo Murata's input because it doesn't fit its narrative.
>or is he taking Sony on a wild ride then running away
If this wasn't obvious to you the moment they announced death stranding then I don't know what to tell you.
>killed by the yakuza
The fuck?
Portable Ops is the best MGS game?
Kojima seems to have a good work life balance, and likes to show off his work, while at the same time refuses to spoil the most minute detail, the two are constantly at odds, making annoying marketing
this
I miss Fukushima man.
it's good shimasu
No you don't, you found out about him four years ago when this stupid fucking legendary writer Tomokazu Fukushima meme started.
He literally wrote codec fluff.
He's a fucking hack fraud.
cope
>He literally wrote codec fluff.
Thats, like, the best writing in these games desu
The success went to his head. In a cultured field, he would not be lauded as a genius. But fortunately for him, vidya players are a bunch of ignorant bitches. So that gives and gave him, hack and fraud, room to plagiarize and be praised as a god. He is a god among the ignorant.
>Perhaps surprisingly, Kojima said he agreed >with Ebert, stating: "I don't think they're art >either, videogames."
>Kojima went on to say that "Art is something >that radiates the artist," arguing that "If 100 >people walk by and a single person is >captivated by whatever that piece radiates, >it's art.
>"But videogames aren't trying to capture one >person. A videogame should make sure that >all 100 people that play that game should >enjoy the service provided by that videogame. >It's something of a service. It's not art. But I >guess the way of providing service with that >videogame is an artistic style, a form of art."
I believe people who don't get Kojima can't see past his sensibilities in presentation and miss the underlying little sandboxes of consequence made out of attention to detail he enjoys creating.
You can say a lot about his cutscenes but the guy is a video game director first and foremost.
Let's not pretend that Death Stranding is ever actually coming out.
Banning the L sound? That's some free rent suff right there
Japan hates China so much dude. Read a history book and you’ll see so much shit.
The only good metal gear game was revengeance.
>impossible to pronounce
Quite a few Japanese people pronounce R as L. The sounds are basically interchangeable to some, which is why they don't have both sounds in their language
he tried to fight the pachinko mafia
Part of me likes Kojima because he's one of the few people in the video game industry who will run with an idea he has, no matter how good or terrible it is.
Another part of me realizes that Konami became extra shitty around the same time he became VP of it.
Overall I'm not a fan of him; but like others have implied, as long as he has someone to keep him in check, there's nothing stopping him from making something as good as MGS3 or ZoE2.
I don't like the fact that he's a 50+ year old male who dresses like a teenager.
I mean, wait a while and that goes for Kevin Smith too.
fuck I actually learned something
sauce me on this please
Yea Forums hates all Del Toro's movies because he isn't white
His ass
Del Toro is obviously a white person of Spanish decent. The whole "latino" meme is something that only exists in American because the state wanted to be able to easily monitor the Spanish speaking population. Spaniards, Portuguese people and white Latin Americans are white, not "latino".
