I hate the MGS games. Endless cutscenes that are all, without exception, brain meltingly awful.

MGS 4 was the only one with one too many long cut scenes. Metal Gears my favorite video game series, I think Kojima's a genius. His cold war, nuclear holocaust, A.I conspiracy clone story lines are incredibly dense and well thought out. So fuck anyone who thinks CQC is not badass. And I seriously hope that Death Stranding gets a release date soon. Hopefully sometime this year but I'm not holding my breath on that.

I would find it literally impossible to sit through MGS 4, probably.

Definitely dense storytelling, but genius is a label that gets thrown around too much. I don't think Kojima is a genius as much as he's just very idiosyncratic about things.

Yeah I disagree. He is very idiosyncratic about certain things in all his games. But the level of storytelling he conjures up with for each Metal Gear has proven time and time again that he's one of the best writer/directors in any medium. And has been for awhile. He's a genius.

I don't think there's any way I can comment on that without sounding like a massive snob. Let's just say that I disagree quite a bit.

Huge Kojima fan. I have a tattoo of his face on my right ass cheek.
