    He has a massive following for a reason, but nothing he’s done has ever truly appealed to me, personally.

    Spicy opinions incoming:

    • His dialogue is absolutely atrocious; I’m not convinced he’s ever spoken with a real human.
    • His plotting is cliche and convoluted, and there is literally no excuse for a 70+ minute cutscene in any game. I get the sense he’d much rather be making movies but found success in games so keeps making them instead.
    • The only Kojima game I’ve genuinely enjoyed was the original MGS; a preference which made way more sense when I learned that it’s also the only game in the series where he didn’t have full control over the localisation and a third party took care to try and make his nonsense actually intelligible.
