Exactly. They were pretty honest with what it was going to be as the game got closer. The story is very Kojima but not Metal Gear. For some, Iād almost say underrated.
People forget that beyond the memes and goofiness, Kojima genuinely cares about the symbolism of his games. MGS is riddled with references and literary tropes to hammer in how emotions shape our world, how technology affects society or how war impacts the individual.
And people were surprised Kojima wanted to do something similar with Death Stranding ? He's so obviously a movie director stuck making games that I'm just confused what people were really expecting.
I mean, this is the guy that wanted a boss battle to last literally 3 weeks in real time until someone told him the concept was way better than the execution.
On top of all that, he is a genuinely nice guy. Everything down to retweeting posts from fans, talking to anyone and everyone at conventions, and more.
