Are you saying that you have to play a game to know its gameplay doesn't interest you? If you don't like fighting games the best fighting game in the world isn't gonna move you even if they tether an amazing story to it. Maybe that story interests you but the gameplay around it doesn't.
I still stand by what I said about this game months ago. If Kojima's name wasn't attached to this it could be the same exact game it is now and most people likely wouldn't have given it a second glance. It's impressive how much pull his name has. There are people reviewing the game and calling it boring but arguing they like it.
Nah I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the people that are highly opinionated saying Kojima is pretentious, the game is wack and just basically drawing conclusions based off what they read or heard. If you aren't interested then
.
The "if Kojima name wasn't attached to this nobody would care" argument is so silly.
That's like saying if another game just like GTA came out without the Rockstar name attached to it no one would care.
If a game just like Uncharted came out that wasn't from Naughty Dog no one would care.
If a shooter that was exactly like Halo came out but was from another company nobody would be interested.
How many games are just like Smash Brothers that no one really cares about?
Slap City is just like Smash Bros yet is it wrong that people are interested in Smash because of who's in it?
Of course the name or pedigree of the developer propels the game up in the public's eye. There's
nothing wrong with that. I don't see why people say this as if that's a bad thing. People have expectations from certain things. It being a game from Kojima and featured and advertised by a giant like Sony helps it a lot.
