Like many of us, I have been a fan of Kojima's games over the years. With his own production company and few people to answer to, I feel his tendency to revel in surrealism and absurdity is pushing me away.
I'm not looking forward to another dose of cryptic pretentiousness from him. I'll leave this one alone.
We don't want to be part of the Zuckusphere.
This is a game I'll happily avoid. I had my last taste of the tired Bethesda formula with Fallout 4.
