people only give credit to kojima for mgs. There are dips in quality from mgs3 to mgs4 and beyond along with miss key staff
but its easy to look at the face i guess

Can't take what the average American says too seriously

Death Stranding was critic bait like a mf glad it blew up in his face

I don’t 🤣. Especially as an American. Makes me wish he made death stranding even more weird

Yeah bro i'm American too and I've known most Americans are f***ing morons since I was in elementary school lol....

No one should take offense to what Kojima says cause it's kind of true... The median level of artistic taste is pretty low and unrefined compared to countries in Europe, but that only makes sense since a lot of very influential art comes from Europe in the first place so they got a head start on their taste

As I said earlier our games are known for killing. We take great pride in games based on killing . We often view walking and fetch quest as boring or filler . So for him to make a whole walking game where you can trip over a pebble reaches patience . Where you carry a baby like an egg in high school
and have to nurture it and be vulnerable. These aren’t bullet points on the back of a standard game box. He knew it would get mixed reviews as great art should . It’s fine some don’t like it but to act like Kojima And his team haven’t accomplished a lot because they are hurt by these comments is so well American

Well f***ing said. To your last point, so true. Americans who get offended by these kind of comments are the exact people he's talking about

noone brings this up for movie directors like spielberg and scorcese

Goddamn him

They're just proving his point every time they whine about it.

I've never seen so many self-proclaimed "gamers" be so out for a game/creator to fail and to discourage original content.

thats a good point but i feel its different.
people usually point out writers for movies tho. but the credit usually all goes to the director most times
but in the gaming industry, people dont associate last of us with a ____. we usually associate them with naughty dog as a whole.
its mainly japanese games cause i can say miyazaki for dark souls or shinji mikami for resident evil

It's not exactly blowing up in his face. It's one of the most discussed games of the year, it's been critically well received.

Just about the only people hating on it are incredibly devoted Xbox fans and American shooter fans that are hellbent on taking this game down for being "boring" and a "walking simulator" when they haven't played the thing for more than a couple of hours (if at all). Kojima's just giving his opinion, which per usual, is kinda right on the money.

how can kojima have such a tiny cock yet still able to hit the back of your throat?

in what way is it critic bait

We can start with that convoluted storyline that made no sense what so ever

kojima’s stories have always been convoluted

Kojima is Japanese

Japanese people have a higher standard in stuff like service, food and also videogames

Kojima be going above and beyond to execute certain “weird” ideas and concepts.

All of that together makes how he’s regarded pretty aproppriate. Kojima one of the few people in gaming that could be considered an artist in some kind of sense.

True, but to a certain extent if childhood me can comprehend what MGS3 storyline but Adult me can't understand Death Stranging without looking at youtube videos something is wrong.

it's just one game lol. chill

even so, a complicated story does not equal critic bait

most critically acclaimed games have fairly straightforward narratives with standard structures

MGS1 - 3 are incredible, 4 is okay, Peace Walker and 5 are good to great, DS is great.

Don't exactly know how someone's overrated when the guy hasn't made a bad game.

Any criticism for Death Stranding goes straight to “Stupid American!” So dumb lmao

No one has cared about a Spielberg film since 2005

I know this is going to sound heady but what is the point of fully understanding something or feeling you fully understand something. Part of the point is not understanding to the fullest and coping with that. Its a world. Yes plot holes that affect plot or character agency need to be addressed but can never answer every question and that is part of the point.
