Kojima is the epitome of delusional

The guy believes he is the king of storytelling. He calls Crysis a ridiculous game with stereotypical a story. (I actually agree with him, so the haters can calm down).

However, what really irks me is that they guy doesn't even see the ridiculousness in his game. His game is so convoluted with philosophical metaphors and features broken plot lines. Now, I know what the worshipers of Kojima are saying, "You're uneducated, you have to have an IQ of 150 to understand his plot lines." And my response to you all is: "**** you" First off, Kojima is not great at making storylines. Why? Because his stories are all riddled with such intricate politics/philosophical themes that it detracts from the game. And no, that is not an opinion. If there is anyone who can actually understand his storylines from start to finish without reading wikipedia, MGS wiki, etc, then I salute you, because you are one of the few gamers out of one million. Understanding his storylines is like trying to understand a Bio-Ethics textbook: It's extremely incomprehensible. So with that said, I find it pretty audacious how Kojima can critique someone on story telling when infact, he is a terrible writer himself. It make zero sense. Its like a English professor trying to teach Calculus. Kojima is a terrible story teller

U mad tho?

Anyway, to understand the whole MGS4 plot, you HAVE to play 1, 2 , and 3 to understand it. The story is still filled with confusion and plot holes though...

MGS is easy to understand & kojima is a legend for that series.

i would like too see him make another type of game though. :)

I don't see how people find it difficult to follow the story, it's not hard. bleehum

kojima is the master of storytelling, i feel sorry for people to stupid to follow MGS.HailCaesarHail

I feel sorry for people so invested in a franchise that they feel the need to insult anyone who doesn't agree it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Let's be honest, the story of Crysis one was mediocre. Miroku32

gameplay > story

Crysis had a bad story, but it didn't matter. it was fun to play. when i want a solid story, i go to the movies. i can appreciate a good story in games too, but i don't require the game to have one.

redicilous arrogance from mr. Kojima. not good.

i hated the MGS storyline, i do however enjoy games with a lot of history in them, like assassins creed. i enjoy the hell out of it, even though the endings are super wierd. i just enjoy the history.

i feel sorry for you because you fail at reading comprehension, what i said has nothing to do with liking the game, had to do with not being able to folllow the story. now i understand why you find it hard to follow, tsk.

HailCaesarHail

I never said I find it hard to follow, I've never even completed a single MGS game. I said you indirectly insulted someone for saying MGS's story is flawed.

Well you see, my suspicions were first aroused when I noticed the lack of proper punctuation in his post. It suggested to me that the post was rushed and that it therefore did not mean much to him. It then came to my attention that he used the wrong word to, as opposed to too, just before the word stupid - ironically. It was therefore safe to come to the conclusion that his bold claim was simply sarcasm.Indie_Hitman

Guess it wasn't.

What's funny is that Kojima never called Crysis ridiculous. He called Crysis a really fun game, but called the story cliche'. The TC of that other topic for some reason said that Kojima called Crysis ridiculous, even though he never said such a thing.

[QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"][QUOTE="suitmypants"] you're swaying away from the topic nor is understanding whether the English doctorate is a pertinent to what is being discussed at hand. The phrase is a simple metaphor that is meant to be taken light heartedlysuitmypants

I love the MGS storyline. It's why I went back to the games so many times.

Nice thread title :P, i don't know why Kojima is talking about crysis to be honest [QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

All Kojima said was he had a blast playing the game but the story was cliche. That's it.

So of course fanboys run wild with that.

[QUOTE="suitmypants"][QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"] I'm afraid I can't do that 'Suitmypants'. An arguement with a bad metaphor is like a dog with a lightsaber. It just doesn't make sense.Indie_Hitman

The MGS series in general is in dire need of an editor, no, a highly skilled regiment of editors.

Unless that too is sarcasm. He plays a hard game this 'HailCaesarHail'.... I shall have to analyse his grammer more attentively....Indie_Hitman

This is almost as confusing as MGS's story.

obviously you didnt play mgs 3 , so stop lying. not solid snake but naked snake. now go away.

The Metal Gear franchise has by far the best storylines in video gaming. Thanks to Kojimas high standards of story telling and the levels of epicness, stories like the ones found in Mass Effect are dull, bland, boring, and overall crappy. If not generic by comparison.

Also:

After the initial quote in my sig, KVO said Metal Gear Solid 4 is the pinnacle of story telling prowess within its medium.

[QUOTE="HailCaesarHail"]

[QUOTE="m25105"] Kojima is a boring story teller, I grew bored very fast in MGS 2 on the PS2 with that Raiden guy. Hell I stopped paying attention when they started talking about the lalelulala something. I gave MGS 3 a chance cause it was Solid Snake, but again the boring preachy storing telling just distracted me. I found myself spamming the X button in order to skip cut scenes. You are wrong if you think he's a good storyteller and maybe you should also try reading a book.
