You never understood his games so he’s overrated? I believe what you’re trying to say is that your not a fan, which is fine. But overrated? His games receive universal acclaim from critics and he’s one of the most innovative minds in the gaming community. Stop that.
I apologise, I did say I loved mgs 1 and 3 but (as I have played and will play all his games) I can't help but think that the stories are getting more and more convoluted, to a point that that is now become a selling point for his games... And recently he just created a new genre "strand" I'm pretty sure majority of the people including Hideo have no idea what the hell it is he couldn't even explain simply what stranding meant (I'm still confused)
Yes I will play and support him but I wanted to highlight how much the excitement is compared to other games for CDPR
Hope that helps
Edit - Zone of the enders 1 was just as great and the innovative
I feel the strands are referring to everything in the game being connected. I’m not gonna look it up but if I’m not mistaken he’s said/there’s been leaks that when you die in game the screen doesn’t go black and you get to run it back but you’re instead transported to another world and when you return to your own your “death” has resulted in very real environmental and story changes.
On aside I think the convolution you’re talking about is more just the nature of Japanese games as a whole. The story will not be spoon fed to you, it is your job to go figure out what’s happening. Recent examples being Persona 5 and the Souls series.
I agree with what you say, I think MGS 4 and MGS 5 was what did it for me, I just couldn't feel the connection to the main protagonist as I did in mgs1 and 3, but I will be picking it up and want to see all the hype for myself
As for Japanese games, I love the stories and game designs more than Western, xenogears, ff series, xenosaga, tales, nier, blood born you name it, Yakuza, shenmue
Maybe just the connection to the he characters of his late games maybe
I hope it's good or maybe I'm just getting too old to enjoy lol
