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.
