Judging by the direction Kojima has been going in for years now, expect more of that. Much, much more. I've said it before, but for someone with a reputation for stories in games, he's an abysmal writer and storyteller, but actually a great game designer. The problem is he probably sees himself as the greatest storyteller in video game history or something.
It’s an odd one. DS1 is a good example - for the most part I enjoyed even the narrative. Kojima has a way with creating worlds, cinematics and characters that are intriguing. But his writing isn’t elite by modern gaming standards and hence that last hour of DS1 completely fell apart.
I mostly agree. He has interesting ideas and when you're interacting with his worlds and characters through gameplay, it's all good.
It's German for The Hard Man
I guess. Can’t help but laugh at all of this. There’s a Hardman and a Heartman! You can play FC 24 as Varane
Agreed. Really enjoyed DS but the combat sections as well as the non BT stealth sections were just half baked.
I think I might have spotted one or two seconds of gameplay in this 20 minute gameplay video.
Which is annoying because despite Kojima going up his own arse when it comes to story, and making you spend hours watching cut scenes, the gameplay in his stuff is usually quite innovative and really fun.
Agreed, I found Death Stranding's gameplay loop to be really enjoyable. Perhaps not "fun", but that's a relative term. Fortunately to ratio of gameplay to nonsensical cutscenes was pretty good, let's hope that continues.
Absolutely. The MGS games are among the best games ever - I for one loved the long cutscenes as they were usually an absolute treat and the gameplay was great too. Death Stranding’s gameplay loop was also highly enjoyable to me albeit the story lost its way towards the end.
