I dont doubt that kojima leans left tbh but Metal Gear Solid is just riffing on postmodern philosophy and political theories which was just lefties dumping Marx for reactionary thinkers like McLuhan and Nietzsche while cribbing from the right wing anti enlightenment and anti modernist movements. It definitely isnt woke which is basically the intersection of neoliberalism and the new left. !chuds

This is not even a "yuo hate soyciety yet YOU LIVE IN A SOYCIETY! lol iPhone socialists pwned epic style
" average human who has hobbies and watches media like everyone else regardless of their political opinions, this is specifically for millionaire r-slurs who are part of the global capitalist system and make fictional media that criticizes it but does absolutely nothing to end it, like this peak example, John & Yoko waiting for the maid to make the bed so they can continue protesting against the system, 1969

Kojima himself is a dipshit lol. Its like pure alchemy that like mgs2 has some interesting themes. MGS1 is a bog standard tom clancy type beat. MGS3 is just bondshit. MGS4 is fan service bait. MGSV has any interesting ideas it has ruined by a dumb twist and horrid padding. Death Stranding story is nonsense slop. I think Kojima always designs good games the metal gear series and death stranding are the kinda games where every playthrough I find some minor new game mechanic.Its a very neat maximalist style when modern games focus on just shoving in the same few mechanics over and over again to fit a quota (crafting, stealth, parries, skill tree, gear, rarity, rpg stats and leveling, climbing ect)

Kojima is a bit of a pseud but the man can design a fricking game. Now if you want real schizophrenic politics and good writing, play Killer7. That's the good shit.

Snatcher and Policenauts are good but they're also blatant ripoffs of better material

Even MGS2 is pretty bland once youve read McLuhan or read Baudelaire or seen the prisoner or see The Network or seen an Adam Curtis doc

Kojima always needed somebody to restrain him from words words words too much. I do like the gameplay stuff he does to his games, but never really got sold on the philosophy behind it.
The BigBoss wanking and Miller's "muh peace constitution" really grated on me in Peace Walker.
Sorry
@BWC, but Kojima leans left, at least if you consider the political spectrum in Japan.

The fricking secret is fricking that metal gear solid isn't political
it's just politics-themed

Exactly. Most of the shit is just set dressing for what's at the heart of the story. It's just stuff Kojima liked from movies and threw in.
