It just wasn't finishedIt was trying way too hard to be bizarre and that's what Hideo likes doing, but not everything a genius spills out on the page is gold....great gameplay, just a trash story and fun boss fights. But flaming fukking whales and demon horns coming out of your skull were just too cringe.
I think Peace Walker is a more contained version of what he was trying to achieve
I also see remnants of what he was trying to do in Death Stranding with traversal and the open world mission structure.
