Hideo Kojima games have already gotten big reappraisals 5-10 years after release, now the auteur says he wants to make games that will impress space aliens centuries into the future

Kojima is a clown.

MGS 2 was so genius and ahead of its time in ideas. It just floors me.

No offense to kojima and their fans but i dont understand the hype about any of his games. I tried MGS and it was okay, its fun but i dont see what so great about it. I mean theres plenty other developer who developed great games, i dont see their name kept being mentioned anywhere else like kojima does. I tried death stranding and it felt like walking simulator and the character name is kinda cringe. Its not my cup of tea but i dont get why.

I mean I guess hypothetically, if we ever manage to contact some aliens, and manage to establish friendly communications with them, cultural information is probably the easiest thing to trade (since information can be sent at light speed with relative ease whereas any mass takes much more energy to move much slower, since there probably aren't any material resources that are particularly unique between star systems to necessitate trade, and since whoever has more advanced technology might be a bit wary with sharing that particular information lest it be used against them if relations sour in the future), so it's not completely absurd to imagine us sending something like a video game that had come to be seen as a particularly important cultural work, to aliens, if we meet some at some point.
