im sure you could show an alien MGS3 and they will never think of ladders in the same way again
sniff
They already do Hideo, they already do.
MGS 2 was so genius and ahead of its time in ideas. It just floors me.
La Li Lu Le Lo?
Metal gear!?
“They got the zipzorgin’ just right in this game, two thousand years before it was discovered, too.”
No offense to kojima and their fans but i dont understand the hype about any of his games. I tried MGS and it was okay, its fun but i dont see what so great about it. I mean theres plenty other developer who developed great games, i dont see their name kept being mentioned anywhere else like kojima does. I tried death stranding and it felt like walking simulator and the character name is kinda cringe. Its not my cup of tea but i dont get why.
If you haven’t played them at the time they were released you are less likely to realise how far ahead of time they when it comes to various themes they covered. People notice this only after the thing Kojima predicted happens. Most recent and obvious example would be Death Stranding being released months before pandemic begun while the whole game is about a delivery man in a world where nobody can go outside. MGS2 was so far out when it comes to then upcoming intertwining politics and memes it requires at least an essay to properly describe. But when it clicks, it clicks.
I mean i did play them when they were released but not all of them. I think the games just flew over my head. Maybe its just not my cup of tea. Thanks for the explanation.
I mean I guess hypothetically, if we ever manage to contact some aliens, and manage to establish friendly communications with them, cultural information is probably the easiest thing to trade (since information can be sent at light speed with relative ease whereas any mass takes much more energy to move much slower, since there probably aren’t any material resources that are particularly unique between star systems to necessitate trade, and since whoever has more advanced technology might be a bit wary with sharing that particular information lest it be used against them if relations sour in the future), so it’s not completely absurd to imagine us sending something like a video game that had come to be seen as a particularly important cultural work, to aliens, if we meet some at some point.
So… This is Snake. A snake is sort of like a big worm thing. No no, not like you…
Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We’re all slaves to a higher power: memes, the DNA of the soul
Kojima is a clown.
If he’s a clown, he’s like Kefka. A little mad, a little genius, and a little bit…off.
And great theme music
Maybe but he has imagination and brings fresh ideas at the triple a level to gaming. Which we sorely need.
The plus his games are incredibly fun to play, imo at least. I realize that’s subjective.
