Fragile, but not that fragile, samantha AmERicA strand, almost everything Diehardman says...
i love the gameplay, but Kojimas writing is seriously getting more and more cringey, and not enough to be a cult like Tommy Wiseau, he neeeds editors
Thats his trademark. I dont want to play a game where all of his wacky crazy ideas get sanitized in the name of having mass appeal.
You think modern audiences can look past his hilariously terrible character names?
Yeah IMO the more famous and respected Kojima has gotten, the worse his writing has been. And I think you've hit the nail on the head, he badly needs editors. I think it's kind of like George Lucas in that they have a lot of ideas, some of which are really good and some of which are absolutely batshit. Sometimes those types of writers need someone who can ground them and tell them that they don't have to put all of their ideas in.
Exactly, and its a shame because his ideas are really good. Even his earlier campy writing ( Ocelot encounters in MGS3 were so over the top but so good ) had its charm.
