    Is karma even a thing on Lemmy? Anyone? No? Yes? Ok, it doesn’t matter, I’ll take the hit if I have to: the only good thing Kojima did is Silent Hill. He’s a hack.

      I’m not his fan, but that is too harsh. Metal Gear Solid series also has many strong entries, well received by critics and fans.

        His characters stood more out as really cool back during the oil rig revolver vampire era.

                I think this might be a reference to peace Walker. In peace Walker and 5 your home base is an oil rig. Both have a guy with a revolver but I only played 5 and don’t remember a vampire.

                  It’s MGS 2. You’re on am oil rig and you fight an actual vampire.

                  All of Kojimas games are best thought of as fantasy / ninja games with a western military veneer. Looking at it that way, like Call of Duty Naruto, and they flow pretty well.

      He has a massive following for a reason, but nothing he’s done has ever truly appealed to me, personally.

      Spicy opinions incoming:

      • His dialogue is absolutely atrocious; I’m not convinced he’s ever spoken with a real human.
      • His plotting is cliche and convoluted, and there is literally no excuse for a 70+ minute cutscene in any game. I get the sense he’d much rather be making movies but found success in games so keeps making them instead.
      • The only Kojima game I’ve genuinely enjoyed was the original MGS; a preference which made way more sense when I learned that it’s also the only game in the series where he didn’t have full control over the localisation and a third party took care to try and make his nonsense actually intelligible.

        Huh, I was sure he was behind the first game. Oh boy, that means nothing he made is good.

          Well I disagree to some extent, though I see where you’re coming from. MGS was good, I enjoyed all of the games in the series. They definitely weren’t perfect though and I did sometimes wonder if they were good because of him or in spite of him. The Kojimaness could get a bit much at times.

      Karma doesn’t seem to be a thing. Just number of posts and comments are displayed, no cumulative points from upvotes as far as I see.

      No, it is not. Upvotes and downvotes mainly just impact post and comment sorting. Karma on platforms like Reddit was good in theory but, was heavily gamed by bad actors to fake perceived authenticity.
