Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii has played 10,000 hours of Fallout 4 while refusing to do the main quest, build settlements, or travel with anyone but Dogmeat: 'I'd much rather be beaten to death by Deathclaws'

Japan's director Mamoru Oshii poses during the photocall of the movie "The Sky crawlers" at the 65th Venice International Film Festival at Venice Lido on September 3, 2008. "The Sky crawlers" is presented in competition for the Golden Lion Award.

As reported by IGN Japan, prolific Japanese director Mamoru Oshii loves Fallout 4⁠—like, more than anyone I've met or heard of in my entire life. In a new video celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ghost in the Shell, Oshii revealed that he has played 2,000 hours on PlayStation, followed by another 8,000 on Steam.

According to a machine translation of the IGN Japan article, Fallout 4 was Oshii's immediate answer when asked his favorite game, estimating a 10,000 hour playtime across console and PC. He referred to it as "a game that seems to have been made for my own desires," noting that VATS aiming jelled with his relative lack of facility with twitch aiming⁠—though he has, apparently, gotten at least one Chicken Dinner in PUBG.
