Topic	Fuck you, Hideo Kojima

People trying to decipher the Death Stranding trailers and calling it the GOAT when the guy didn't even have an engine yet. I still think it's going to be a 2022 game. Most of his fans got into his games when they were like in middle/high school so it was like baby's first experience with themes. The problem is that for some reason they never actually took a high level literature course since then so they haven't figure out that most of his themes are very pedestrian at their core. This is the reason why his more simple games (MGS, MGS3) are infinitely more loved by the regular gaming community then his over indulgent shit (MGS2, MGS4, Peace Walker, MGS V) Surely direction and dialogue of MGS4 is no more indulgent than the dramatic prose of Milton's Paradise Lost, with such lofty ambitions and sheer vanity as to hope to explain the nature of man to God himself? And any fan of truly intellectual literature would know that the application of theme is far more important than the stark originality or shock of it--What is The Metamorphosis but an age-old exploration of our loss of humanity through the mechanization and conformity of society, set apart merely through its application of theme by physical transformation? We know that theme is reductive in nature, as it can only express through its instutition that which we natively know to be true as part of our experience of being human. I would recommend the work of Joan Didion, who I consider perfectly encompasses the same approach to human expression and tagedy as such masters in the genre as Hideo Kojima. Perhaps a fresh perspective will bring you about on the qualities that make his work so indelible? --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:891155280] in Fuck you, ...
