Lets put aside his "primadonna" personality.
Lets talk about his work.
The phantom pain is an awesome game, P.T was an absolute impact in terms of marketing, looked really promising, really sad that it wasnt finished.
With that said....i think his work has becoming worse through the years.

Don't get it. How is it different now that people flock to take pictures.
He came to my country a few years back and did a signing. People were in line for 6 hours and many had to leave without nothing.
He has been a celebrity for quite a while. The biggest proof is MGSV. He was fired for what Konami thought seem like incompetence and still got a dream job at Sony. It's like if he was a junkie Hollywood darling.
That said, he is involved in great games. I love his games and his vision.
(BTW I did get a signed postal. A friend got it for me but I would never stand in line for hours to get it).

Isn't what you should have done in the first place!!? I love Yoko Taro, but I don't follow him at all in social media because what I like about him is his works, and thats all.

I'm assuming he got tired of working for Konami and wanted pure freedom, which he got with Sony. Death Stranding will prove to is whether he still got it as a developer or not.

Interesting, never thought this would be the case with other Japanese developers too, Kamiya being the exception.

I'm surprised it took you this long to really notice how much of a pedestal the industry puts him on.

Never give up your love, if you feel like you are becoming way too obsessive, then take a break. You can still admire Kojima-San while keeping a healthy amount of admiration/obsession without going out into the deep end. Gotta keep that balance between the two. Carry on Kojima’s ace disciple~
Let’s hope he has better watchers than Epstein.

Mobbing him on stage? Just sounds like typical weaboos, if you ask me.
At the end of the day, Kojima works a stable job, and to his office staff is just a normal guy doing his job. No need to lose respect because a bunch of weebs have no other ways of expressing their useless fandom, except to think getting a picture with a random Japanese man is going to provide satisfaction in their simple celebrity-worshipping lives. Mobbing "famous" people to take selfies is a pretty level 1 life thing to do.
The fact that Kojima still does the day to day work shit probably shows you that he is above all the fan adoration and is genuinely invested in the real side of industry where people are working hard to produce something of artistic merit as a team. I wish people would express their interest in someone's work by using it as the platform to get into game development and learn some real skills to better the industry. But we're talking about video game fans here.

I don't see why that's a reason to not like the guy. Just because people took selfies with him at a very public event?

It was like a final nail in the coffin or some sort of realization.
I'm starting to feel a lot better now though

Do you reckon that's what he gets when he wakes up in the morning, and looks in the mirror at himself, a throbbing Cliffy?

Now if that were actually true, that would be a reason to be "disillusioned" with kojima-Sama-sempai or whatever. A fan account to yourself is bonkers.

All that should matter is whether or not you still enjoy his games. I personally don't follow the social media stuff or watch gaming events live anymore so a lot of what people post here is brand new. You could make a thread about Hideo Kojima having shed his skin to reveal he was a reptilian this whole time but it wouldn't change my opinion about his work being awesome.

Not that showing in 90% of videos about your next game the main character exploring a land full of nothing but grass, water and rocks, and Sam's pee with a Mario's FLUDD like mechanic it's less sad
It's ok 'til a certain date, but at the - 2.5 month mark before day one...man, i' m starting to lose hype in his genius, seriously, the man maybe is too overconfident about his capacities
All this imo, and all this obviously minus those state of art trailer, the only good thing so far

D-Do my eyes deceive me? I hope you know that if somebody didn't like you and Kojima they could use this against you if they wanted to lol.
I've always conceived Hideo Kojima to be more of an artsy fartsy creator. He attempts to create "works of art" but they don't come across as anything significant or genuine in his storytelling. I've never really liked his work, I always thought he was overrated and wasn't even a top tier Japanese developer in comparison to the likes of Yoko Taro or somebody of that caliber. He's a wannabe filmmaker, not a game designer IMO.
But I'm not just "some blind hater" because I can at least praise him for the positives. He's obviously good at what he does (just not the best), he has a knack for game development and the gameplay in his games show that. But it's him next to his rabid fanbase that truly get on my nerves, personally. There's no criticizing the man, every time you offer some tough love to him, his fanbase or even his games, you're attacked and even mocked. You're apparently an utter moron if you dare criticize the "mAsTeRpiEcEs" that he makes.
Enjoy. Hope this offers you closure:

Hideo is an incredibly polarizing guy. he has produced a lot of things that I liked, and some things that I just don't care for. I wasn't a big fan of MSGV, even though the game still has its merits. But I do respect him for not giving into a status quo and doing weird things like Death Stranding.

And that’s been my experience as well. I’ve been accused of bad mouthing DS when I have never spoke on my feelings on the game on any public forum. I’ve been called jealous and a nobody when I offered the perspective that the reason people may dislike him is because sometimes he comes off as pretentious. Most conversation ends with an insult or a “gatcha” attempt.

The closest thing I’ve said is I’m not too crazy about the name but it has grown on me. I don’t think it’s as good as Snatcher, Policenauts, or Metal Gear, but it’s fine.

- Stand next to the phone facing the first door, staying completely still.
- Don’t move until the chiming stops.
- Once it stops, walk forward exactly 10 paces, then freeze until you hear a baby laugh.
- Turn around and walk through the hallway until you spot Lisa.
- The trick here is to stand close enough to see her but not close enough where she can possess you.
- When she finally disappears, you’ll hear a 2nd baby laugh.
- Once triggered, stand completely still until you hear a 3rd baby laugh.
- After triggering the 3rd baby laugh, the phone will begin to ring.
- Zoom in on the phone with R3 to answer it.
- Once you hear the door unlock, leave through the hallway door a final time to complete the game.

is too noble and honorable to do such a thing. Only a

I think you are just jealous of Geoff who can hug and smell the masters hair and you can't! Don't be mad homie!
Why do they both have the “i am getting laid tonight, oh yeaaaah!” face?

Ok guy, please tell me this isn’t real.
Edit: I don’t understand why you would care about someone you don’t know in the first place? I can understand simple things like, “sending prayers” when something bad happens, but this just doesn’t seem realistic. It makes no sense.

MGS2 is a masterpiece. Death Stranding looks awful. I will still play whatever Kojima makes.
