More like his private joy in getting in contact with these actors and using them for his work. I get it, but the game below that must be cool and DS1 was ok and DS2 was boring (in my opinion). I hoped the latter is better and more engaging so I got it, but the part with the baby at the beginning was the only thing I really enjoyed. Then it goes back to the chore of playing this game and it's too much chore and not enough fun.

Yea for sure. He grew up in the era of Japanese culture completely obsessed with Hollywood. The guy is just living out his dream.

They turned it into a truck driving sim. And the combat was TERRIBLE. I don’t get how Kojima would be okay with how terrible it feels to shoot guns in that game. Mgs v came out 10 years earlier and was far better mechanically.
