However, in the opinion of someone who is just right: Kojima’s best work released in 2001. Yes, dialogue falls to the floor with as much ceremony as a wet bag of barf falling out of a skyscraper onto a pensioner’s head, but it has never been treated as Oedipus of Rex. It’s always been and always will be (to many) the vision of one man, a mad man but a sole imagination nonetheless. However, I still think the series is one of the few things in gaming that happen to be great. I do love to complain about the wavering tone, I’ll moan about Quiet being silent breasts, and let’s not talk about some of the other nonsense. Just look at Death Stranding 20-minutes in your estranged mum (the president) dies, you have to go and burn her corpse, and the rest of the game is Last of the Summer Wine simulator. How do you explain the constant world threat of a bipedal nuclear weapon? Meanwhile, your useless ponce of a protagonist is naked and being tortured, but the tone is fine because his cyborg penis is covered by a straw? Hideo - I’m going to take a few minutes in my very serious game about a governmental conspiracy and nuclear threats, to tell you my hamburger recipe - Kojima doesn’t understand the word tone. Though it is also known for a tone that flails about as much as a politician that is asked a straight question. The later series is known for its overly long cutscenes, offbeat humor, and political themes with hints of philosophy and dystopia. The name is based on the in-game bipedal tanks with nuclear warheads set in the Cold War. The series has a much longer history than that, however, as the first game in the series, Metal Gear, released 1987. Ok, some of that could be misquoted later on, but it doesn’t make it any less true. However, I do love fighting children in Africa or bombing a metal nuclear dinosaur in Afghanistan. Sure, the gameplay of V is the best bit, and it repeats like Roseanne in the modern-day. I’m on record as enjoying Metal Gear Solid V, the latest and last game in the series. Nonetheless, the man writes like he ordered exposition by the ton, but there was a Spinal Tap -like issue, and he got everything in a factor of ten. “ Clang Clang Clang went the trolley, Clang Clang Clang went the Kojima line …” Doesn’t really work, now does it? It would also be weird if Ralph Blane knew about a Japanese game developer not born for another 19-years, who wouldn’t become famous for a further 60-years.
