>>388009606
Because he sucks down a ton of time and resources doing shit like meeting celebrities and trying to fit in with US culture rather than make his games good. Because he wants to be a movie maker, not a game designer. We don't need A-list actors in the games. That on top of drumming himself up like he's anything more than a b-list story writer to me makes him insufferable. Remember all those tweets during TPP? You'll be ashamed for your words? Really?

But nothing in the game delivered on that so in hindsight it was just Kojima talking out of his ass.

During the production of MGS3 Kojima would hide exotic snakes and frogs around the office. He used to delight in seeing the fright and an employees face when they found a tree frog in their drawer.

He said he did it so people would understand how Naked Snake was feeling.

Pretentiousness implies a lack of intelligence or importance that one tries to express. It also means you're either too full of yourself or too insecure to let other people be. It's not a good thing by any means.

As for mgs and silent hill, mgs is, and I say this objectively and as a minor fan of the series, overrated. The story is just an amalgam of 80s or 90s action movie tropes. The only new thing it does is add the weird and often stupid jap shit like mechs and nanomachines. The game play itself was utter shit until 5 and everyone knows it.

>revolutionary is a fucking buzzword and doesn't mean anything

Not that anon but come the fuck on, a buzzword? really? WoW was revolutionary for its times, DoTA was revolutionary, Quake was revolutionary etc. All of those games started a trend (in other terms started something that grew and stayed) so you calling buzzwords words that you just can't understand or don't know definition of is not an argument. Even tho anon you replied to is moving goalposts to fit his views doesn't mean that his statement was correct since Kojima didn't create anything of value that is of any significance in the game industry and more ever now he is just pushing for more dumb cinematic bullshit which just dilutes quality of games even more.

Unquestionably this.

Kojima knows he isn't an artist, he just really wants to be a movie director.

>>388007072
as much as I dont like kojima's games, this guy is right, cage just makes telltale-tier shit and calls it high art

>This is the scripting language I wrote specifically for Snatcher. It's basically comprised of IF and SWITCH commands. It allowed me to personally manage every artwork, sound, animation, commands, event flags and coding used for the game. With this I wouldn't had to bow down to some programmer.

>>388010709
Nope, Kojima just making an ambiguous statement rather than outright lying. Todd believes in his own lies.

kek that is even funnier if he believes that.

A lot of indie game designers are pretentious but he's definitely one of the more vocal and annoying, he certainly overestimates the quality and artistic importance of his work.

Kojima tweets pics of food and his Blu-ray collection all day. What a lazy motherfucker. Sony is operating at a net loss with Hideo Kojima.

>>388024634
Sush he is working hard.
Sitting on a cosy chair in your office tasting burgers all day and dreaming about USA is hard.

>>388024821
And meeting Hollywood celebs.

If you're referring to that thing with Agness Kaku, that was Konami, not Kojima. Stop getting your information from Racistfist.
