I have always admired this mentality. Never give the audience what they want. Always tell your own story and let them discover it. Historically, the greatest stuff is usually received with a controversial reception, atleast intially. And why I dislike the Marvel/Disney approach of focus group testing the product until everybody likes it (but few love it).
And I say this despite not liking death stranding much.
Yeah Mindseye sure is doing well right nowWe live in an era where controversy sells.
Thats bad product. Doesnt have anything to do with controversy.Yeah Mindseye sure is doing well right now
Yeah so controversy alone doesn't sell AAA games. You have to be GOOD first, controversial second.Thats bad product. Doesnt have anything to do with controversy.
I will be happy and have fun with it.Pretty retarded and stupid choice. Making players happy and having fun should be his priority.
BingoI'm pretty tired of creators trying too hard to subvert expectations
WOW - this guy was way ahead at the time.
Seems like a missed opportunity not to name him Walkman. I mean, that's some great Sony synergy.
That's called Stockholm syndromTbh as ridiculous as it sounds, he is right, kind of. There are tons of things I hated at first that I gave a second chance later and loved, because I wasn't ready for it at the time, or I expected something else.
He's really disappeared up his own ass since leaving Konami.
If the game ends up having a mediocre score i can see the Kojima fans already saying… This is intentionally… Kojima is a geniusIf "full of shit" was a person![]()

MindsEye was controversial? I thought the universal consesus following its very limited marketing and lukewarm reception was that it was going to be a very average game, at best.Yeah Mindseye sure is doing well right now

Problem is He told his own story... the story tested very well .. and so he hated because they all like it and changed to be more divisive. .. it dosent get more edgy "own fart sniffing" than this.
*** IF this is true.
The story sounds exactly what I would expect from Kojima. If its true or not... wellI dont believe a word of it. Precisely, a creator like Kojima doesn't change his vision because of a few people's feedback. The premise is stupid and said out loud is even worse. Peak edginess.
