The Game Awards

[Graves Ruinwalker]

Hideo Kojima made a positive mark in the industry and did great things in the past, not disputing that... but now that he's out of Konami, he is WAY too over celebrated and enjoys the smell of his own farts too much imo.

At least when he was at Konami, poorly treated or not, there was someone around to control things.
For me he's gone off the deep end in terms of being excited for anything he makes. Too artsy fartsy nonsense, there is such a thing as too much freedom given.

I think it doesnt have to be restrictive for being creative . Problem is , he is always seen as someone who "elevates" videogames as something more ( becoming movies lately ) which already is absolute clowns-show idiotic .

Videogames are an own medium and doesnt need to be " more " how hipsters ,that cant complete super marios stage 1-1 and any game tutorial , always try to change gaming into something passive and artsy that is at the end boring , bad and pretentious .

While i like Snatcher and some Metal gear games , i still think that Kojima is either extremly overrated or a hack .
Often times its both lately .

Yeah you nailed it.
I don't mind cinematic story telling, I too sat through Policenauts & MGS but now there's just sooo much of it at high budget, Troy Baker AAA quality where i could argue that right here & now the GAME itself is being sacrificed in major ways.

Your to tell me in years to come, Death Stranding is going to be regarded as a classic like Kojima's Konami outings? I don't think so.

I appreciate the cliff notes version, as I had no intention of sitting through it.

Unless Atlus/Sega intends on remaking/remastering SMT1 and 2 or Capcom decides to finally bring MHGU to Steam, no announcement interests me.

It was a decent showcase overall. There were some announcements that got me hyped such as:

Divinity
Mega Man: Dual Override
Lego Batman
And Ace Motherfucking Combat 8

That final announcement was complete crap. Another live service game nobody asked for.
