His stories are mostly over the top nonsense, but sometimes that's fun. Also, for a "AAA" studio director, he's willing to take some VERY big experimental swings when it comes to gameplay. Death Stranding has it's problems, but it's very unique. That's worth some points.

He's a completely insane horny man that loves action movies. His games tend to be high quality and even when they aren't good they are at least entertaining and try something new.

He may have gone full George Lucas at this point though where he's so overhyped that no one second guesses him at all. Death Stranding had some weird shit even for Kojima. I wonder what he could make if his personality wasn't so dominant in a game and it had some input from other creative visions to reign in his weirder ideas.

I also don’t really get invested in his stories , but the MGS series is still my favourite gaming experience ever, because it’s just so engaging and fun to play.

It’s not the Kojima-Otakus first choice but MGS V imho is a masterpiece. If you don’t care about finishing it perfectly you don’t even have to go the stealth way all the time, you could play like a sniper or just shell an enemy base with a tank.

His games have good politics, that’s something 🤷‍♂️

Even if chuds completely misunderstand them (senator Armstrong etc..)

I know right? He was suddenly hyped up so much, I guess it's one way to sell games. I'd understand if it was Miyamoto or something, but the man made Metal Gear and not everyone has even heard of that.
He was heavily pushed with geoff keighley's the game awards partnership he made.
