A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So as a Kojima sceptic, is the story/writing better or worse than you expected? Or about what you thought?

I always felt like Kojima would be unstoppable if he hired an editor and a writer he trusted, and just let those two translate the "Kojima" into the scripts. He has always had lots of amazing ideas, but I'm not sure I would call him a great writer.

Based on my experience so far, I totally agree with you. I'm simultaneously impressed by the ideas and confused by the package they came in.

It's just that the fluff and errors are glaringly obvious… hard to fathom how the same mind who came up with these captivating ideas wrote, or at best OK'd, the fluff and errors.

I'd say I expected poor and somewhat pretentious writing and got that, but I'm impressed enough by the ideas that I haven't started skipping cutscenes yet, so I assume, overall, it's net positive… not by much, but it is.
