Kojima is one of the worst things to happen to video games.
Go on. I liked metal gear solid 1-4.
MGS1-3 are really great. 4 starts to go off the rails and lose the plot, but is still fun. 5 has fun gameplay, but the story really suffers.
Even 2 went pretty far out there. I skipped most of the cutscenes. MGS3 reigned it back in and was an all around more consistent work.
2's the reason the series went off the rails, and why every game that chronologically came after it was such a narrative mess. I suspect 3 was made a prequel precisely to avoid all of 2's bullshit.
To be fair, we only got the Fox Engine because he wanted to push the boundaries in attempting to achieve raytrace-equivalent light casting without the costs, and by gosh he managed to find engineers to pull it off. The only engine that outdoes it is the Red Engine, which is extremely impressive from a performance to scaling perspective.
For all his faults, had Konami not been nigger-tier in their intellectual industry foresight they could have been a leading publisher built off the back of Kojima Productions and the Fox Engine. Could you imagine how much money they could have made licencing that engine? Or the kind of games we could have had?
Reminds me of EA completely mishandling the Frostbite, or recently CDPR and the Red Engine. Easy money left sitting on the table.
he hasn't been quite the same since the konami betrayal.
