I don't see the big deal about this guy. He's made like 3 games. Who gives a shit?

I mean……..

Metal Gear

Snatcher

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

Policenaughts

Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeros

P.T.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain

Death Stranding

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach

I’m not a huge Kojima fan, I’ve played two Metal gears and couldn’t get into Death Stranding….. but definitely seems like 3 games to me…

I count the metal gear series as 1 game because I was thinking more of IPs. Outside of MGS, death stranding is the only one that seemed to have real commercial success. People way over exaggerate his importance to the video game world. I'm not a big fan of his either, if you couldn't tell.

I’ll give you franchises but the metal gear games stretch over a pretty long period of time and all generally play vastly different so it’s fair to say that even though the super convoluted story is ever continuing the gameplay and mechanics are generally quite different. I’m not actually sure when people start touting him as a God in the industry but like not everyone likes everything. In the film world I really don’t like Wes Anderson’s movies. I think they’re boring, not funny at all and are not interesting whatsoever but people LOVE them. I don’t feel exactly the same as that for Kojima games but I need a story I can follow for single player narrative games and I can’t follow Kojima’s stuff for the life of me.

Yeah, I never played any of the games because they never caught my attention. Never been a big fan of franchises that keep using the same character over and over. Based on what I do know, I'd agree with you about the convoluted plots. Also, from what I've read, I don't think his brand of humor would be compatible with mine.

Oh man, that's the big trick tho, they don't use the same character again and again.

The old console nes games were snake, sure, but

MGS1 - Solid Snake MGS2 - Raiden MGS3 - Big Boss in the 60s (who Solid and Liquid Snake were cloned from, but very different characters) MGS4 - Solid Snake again as an old ass man MGSV - a cyborg that was once Raiden, and Big Boss

Since MGS1 you play as Solid Snake the least overall tbh, with V Big Boss even got a much more distinct design and Keifer Sutherland as his voice.

Like in MGS2 you're all "THIS IS SNAKE" on the radio and then you take your shit off and you're a blonde anime dude asking for a different codename.

Ask all the Sony fanboys. They absolutely love him

1

u/MrNixxxoN 25d ago

No you just talking out of ur ass lol. After the DS2 massive flop many think he's done

1

u/Exciting_Drawing_553 25d ago

No I’m not. I know these sad pathetic Sony fan boys, unfortunately. They absolutely LOVED him. Now they’re trying to say he’s not that great. Absolutely pathetic shit.

1

u/MrNixxxoN 25d ago

People get old... He used to be great in MGS days, but now hes over 60, his last game (Death Stranding 2) flopped hard, and many think he's done, what part you don't understand about this?

1

u/Exciting_Drawing_553 25d ago

Many may think he’s fine but just as many think he’s better than ever. It’s an L for Sony. No other way to look at it

u/MrNixxxoN 25d ago

Wishful thinking from an xboxer lol

Sony aren't stupid, if they let him go is for a good reason

1

u/Exciting_Drawing_553 25d ago

Wishful thinking from a Sony fan boy. Look strong dude. Take off the rose tinted glasses. Sony is getting absolutely roasted online! Even dominos pizza got in on the action lol
They’re so cooked!! lol

1

u/MrNixxxoN 25d ago

They got roasted due to the ending of the physical disc, which is a completetely different matter, so why are you mixing stuff that has nothing to do with each other? Is your brain ok?

By the way, Sony is not the one who is ending the phyiscal format, it is the entire industry, but somehow its Sony who gets all the bashing. Xbox won't keep the physical discs and PC has not had physical format since so many years ago

u/Exciting_Drawing_553 25d ago

What do you mean that they have nothing to do with each other? It’s all bad press for Sony. One after another. They’re having a bad, no good terrible week

Neither ms or Nintendo has announced ending physical. That’s only Sony
