He does tackle some interesting themes but, boy, it's often not a pretty sight. We're not that long past the vagina bomb and I'm not sure this Quiet thing is going to be handled very well given his recent history. Or his whole history, really. I dunno, I admire that he wants to bring some thought to the AAA blockbuster style game but he doesn't inspire much confidence that he could pull it off given most of his output.
To bring up the "lol bees" thing, yeah the Cobra Unit is a bunch of goofy dumb bosses but it harkens back to an era of goofy dumb bond villains like Jaws or Oddjob where being a bigger than life villain was part of the show.
But the upcoming MGS4 bosses are completely mishandled and pretty fanservice-y in ways that reminds one of the boob grabbing in Policenauts or the shower scenes in Snatcher. It just seems to be pandering to the baser instincts of the young and impressionable male and doesn't seem to serve any other group or any other purpose outside of "hot girls are always awesome"
His games are so unique and just completely unlike 99% of the stuff out there that I do my best to ignore this stuff because there's so much else to take in. but squishy boob Quiet toy isn't helping matters.
oh if we're talking about kojima in the past decade i'm right there with you. he's dropped way, way, way, way off imo
eagle-eyed readers of this thread are quite likely to find some coded message about how metal gear solid 4 is the most disappointing game i've ever played and how much i hate it every time a new scanlon episode goes live
