lol yeah I wonder how Kojima is planning to handle his fame. If he starts thinking about it now maybe he can get out ahead of this whole thing.
Hi, I'm MiyazakiHatesKojima. You may remember me from such threads as "I hugged Hideo Kojima, AMA" and the culturally shifting "My First LTTP: Papers, Please". As you all know, I'm an admirer of Hideo Kojima and have long since been a fan of his works. Over the years, I've been defending Kojima at all costs and never questioned my loyalty to senpai.
However, the day has come when my love for senpai is almost on the edge of falling off the cliff. Hearing about how flock of fans ran up to the stage during today's Gamescom conference and took selfies with Kojima made me realize something: Kojima is an icon. Yes, I know that may sound strange but I realized that Kojima is just like your typical A-List celebrity that possesses both fame and artistic integrity.
This is NOT why I fell in love with Kojima's works over the past years. I've genuinely admired him to be a somewhat of a genius game developer that creates ingenious gameplay and immersive worlds and only that. I never realized how much of a diva icon he's become in the industry and it's putting me off from my admiration of Kojima.
I've prepared a resignation letter already, but I thought I should speak about my feelings on GAF first before making the biggest decision of my life.
GAF, what do you think?
Edit: I know this sounds like a silly thread, but it's not. I've literally started to become disillusioned with Kojima-san. I'm hoping the diverse voices on this forum can speak their thoughts about this and share it with me.
KOTH is boring and Mike Judge is overratedBruh....... Death Stranding looks boring, and Kojima is overrated
I've read more insightful things smeared in shit on a toilet wall
King of the Hill has better story telling than any Kojima gamesKOTH is boring and Mike Judge is overrated
Size ranking:yall think kojimbo got a low key big hog?

What triggered me today is reading on reddit about how fans flocked to the stage and took selfies with him. I hate hearing about that kind of stuff and I honestly started to realize why there is a strong vocal minority that hate Kojima. Some of the posts here are giving me some perspective.
I'm a bit confused. Are you saying the reason why you are now disappointed with Kojima and are starting to realize he's not as good as you thought is due to the fans who ran up to him and took selfies? Is it because he reached Icon status? I don't really understand...However, the day has come when my love for senpai is almost on the edge of falling off the cliff.

Anyway googled him and saw he made the metal gear games. I actually bought the last one on steam and thought it was mediocre, clunky controls and mechanics and got really bored after a few hours. Why is this guy supposedly popular?He did start with computer games first

I honestly agree with everything that you said. It's funny how yesterday I was thinking of how much the industry is changing for better or worse. I just got triggered by the fandom of Kojima that I never realized until today, oddly enough. I really hope he doesn't let fame get to him and I may take a break from fanboying Kojima and readjust my perspective of him over the next few months.
Thank you for taking my thread seriously.
yall think kojimbo got a low key big hog?
My brain still doesn't believe this thread! Me thinks you need to relisten to some tapes!
But how big is Batista’s dick though?I think it's hard for anyone know to let this level fame go to their head. I think that's the reason why Kojima chose Sutherland over Hayter for MGSV (other than the fact that he seems to hate Hayter for reasons). I'm not saying Kojima is at fault. It happens to everyone who becomes popular. You let it get to you and then you are not the same person you once thought you were. You become complacent in the fact that people adore you.
With that said, Kojima always appears humble and I think he is for the most part. But certain decisions he's made in the past can suggest otherwise. I remember Kojima remarking MGSV will never be as good as GTAV, which had recently come out (Phantom Pain came out a year later). I think it's okay for you to be in adoration to him, but maybe dial it back. He's just another dude who is extremely creative. He's not a messiah or a god. He's a dude doing what he loves.
I think we have a Conrad Thompson fan in the house
But how big is Batista’s dick though?
If you feel like toning down your reverence for Kojima because you've discovered that others are taking theirs a little too far in your opinion, or because they're 'stealing' him from your 'niche' hobby, then that's your choice to make, bizarre as it may be.
In defense of the cult (I'm not a subscriber btw, I admire the guy, I don't worship him by any means), it's worth acknowledging that Kojima has never made a bad game in a 30+ year career. They're all good. That's insanely impressive. It's no wonder he's adored as he is.
If there's any aspect to the way he's regarded by his fans which rubs me the wrong way, it's that he's mostly celebrated for Metal Gear Solid. Not his other works. Not even old Metal Gear. Just Metal Gear Solid. Even MGSV was criticised for not being MGS-like enough. On a similar note, he's always unfairly, fawningly represented as a storyteller above all else, which doesn't do justice to his excellent understanding of game design, and what makes a good game in general.
I'm really looking forward to Death Stranding.
