I love Hideo Kojima's games, but last night's fawning over his genius from Geoff Keighley and the Death Stranding 2 cast got me the opposite of hyped

Hideo Kojima.

Excited about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach? So am I, and so I offer one piece of advice to you: don't bother watching last night's premiere event, which was held in LA's Orpheum Theatre, hosted by Kojima's best bud Geoff Keighley, and featured various Death Stranding 2 actors and creatives coming on-stage to talk about what a wonderful, magical creator Kojima is, and how special it is to be involved in such a production.

Maybe it's the Brit in me, but pass the sick bag. I will go to bat for Hideo Kojima's games, and I think he's one of the greatest creators gaming has ever seen, but his embrace of the auteur trappings (and the willingness of others to play along) has really gotten old.
