      @jackflynn412 Oh, absolutely! Creatives like him, Miyamoto, and Sakurai certainly deserve a degree of respect, but they also all definitely need to be kept on their own leash at the same time, same for Inafune. I'd argue three of the best creative-types that immediately come to my mind here that actually tend to deliver would be Koji Igarashi, Sam Lake, and Suda51...though that last one is admittedly very divisive, lol.
      That being said, back on topic, again you are absolutely right about Rising, as well!! Ghost Babel is another excellent example of a great Metal Gear game done without Kojima's primary involvement (I say this, and I never finished the second story; I just beat the first story). I'd say Kojima certainly has his writing credits, as I believe Snatcher was moreso his direct brainchild, iirc, and I really enjoyed the heck outta that--to the point that it's one of my favorite adventure/point-and-click/visual novel-style games!! Even with that being said, I think he especially needed more editors to keep him in check as time went on. For that, I think Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Snatcher came along at just the perfect point in his career.

    I think the biggest takeaway is that for as brilliant as Kojima is, he's also only as good as all the sensible people he has around him to say "TF you thinking my man?". If Kojima had completely unlimited artistic control, there would be a LOT of questionable decisions that might have ruined the impact these games had. But credit to Kojima for never being deterred and continually throwing out wild and outlandish ideas just to see what might work. The final product we got is both the work of Kojima's completely untethered (and frankly unhinged) imagination being anchored to reality and practical limitations by his outstanding team.

      They got wierder and made less sense right up to ds. and ds 2 is going to be even worse from the trailer.

As soon as his rep allowed it, he traded up from games. All the death stranding stuff supports this too. They kept the original VA for Japanese Snake in that game so why remove your longtime and highly successful American VA? It's hypocrisy.

    One correction about the names used for Non-Playable Characters. Whilst it's true Kojima found names in a phonebook, the origin of the name Peter Stillman did not come from one. Peter Stillman is an important character in another Paul Auster novel, 'City of Glass', the first book in a trilogy alongside 'The Locked Room', mentioned later in the video.
