One of my favorite easter eggs in any recent game is this, when your whole party wears the mime or swimsuit outfit, EVERY cutscene with the main antagonist will have him wearing it TOO. Story Spoilers, but here’s a clip.

Please tell me that really isn't him. He did the weird sort of half shrug laugh when E:33 took some category I guess he thought he deserved. I like the dude. He is very creative and a risk taker, but he for sure huffs his own farts.
I do have respect for him. He is a talented artist that bends the medium to create special works. He just comes off as rather pretentious sometimes. For example when he talked about the new genre he made with Death Stranding. Strand games lmao. Give me a break brother.
Good thing the category is art direction and not art quality
E33's art direction is how the visuals tell stories about the world and it's inhabitants (can't go into it cause spoilers), people calling it a "UE5 asset flip" are childishly missing the point
Going back to HK you really notice the upgrade. I might prefer HK’s simple art direction in places, but you can’t reject how stunning and detailed silksong is even compared to the first game
I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that the game had no direction. I love Kojima's work, but starting with Snake Eater (and especially Guns of the Patriots), his games feel like a million ideas with no cohesion, and I think that the Death Stranding games, particularly On the Beach, exemplify this the most.
I would've given art direction and audio design to DS2. But I don't think Kojima deserved the award for either game direction or narrative. He is historically a creative risk taker, but DS2 is just about the safest sequel possible. You know, considering it's a sequel to Death Stranding. It retreads a lot of the mechanics and even plot points from the first game. It's not especially daring or creative compared to the original.
It's definitely cool that it exists as an improved and more accessible version of DS1, especially for people that originally bounced off it. But that doesn't mean it qualifies for GOTY or best direction IMO.
It isn’t but so what?? It’s perfectly fine for you to think you’re entitled to winning because of your product; Kanye west states that the only reason that he’s as big as he is, is because he believed he could; he believed he deserved it, and he states he was taught he could do anything. Is it a bit pretentious? Sure. But that’s the mindset you almost always need to have a clear vision and believe your game to be GOTY-worthy.
It wouldn’t be right at all, but it is rational and is nothing to change how you would think about him on.
typed by someone who has only played 1 kojima game (to my knowledge). I’m not glazing him I just think I would act the same as this random guy running if I BELIEVED, TRULY BELIEVED, my game deserved it and was stolen. Kojima may or may not think like this, he didn’t walk off and seemed enthused, but it may be how I act.
No, that's not Kojima, Kojima was sitting in a completely different place, he also invited the devs of E33 to tour his studio a while ago, so I doubt he feels that bad

Not sure why they keep ignoring my suggestions to introduce a Shiggiest Shiggy Of The Year Award
Because everyone is a hater
Game Awards: Shiggy 1, Kojimbo 0.
He had to go home to make a new Death Stranding character named Frenchman
This made me snort
/uj who the hell is the French mime looking guy I keep seeing him everywhere
Sandfall Interactive's director
He and the team dressed as stereotypical French for ceremony
to add theres a special enemy in e33 thats a mime dressed like this
And every character has a costume like this.

That is cool! Did the whole game plus a load of challenge S... fights after the patch and never knew this.
Mimes aren't even french they're pokemon
The French stole the look from Shiggy

/today don't worry its not him,just someone who dressed like him
Crisis actor
It isn’t.
I heard Kojima was on the other column.
He’s earned it tbh (fart huffing)

Wait I genuinely thought that videogamedunkey invented the term strand type kojima actually coined that

Wait my fucking worldview has been shattered. Here’s the dunkey vid if anyone wants context: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ukqZ5VOoK5s&pp=ygUfZGVhdGggc3RyYW5kaW5nIHZpZGVvZ2FtZWR1bmtleQ%3D%3D
He did deserve it
Agreed. E33 deserved most of the categories it won, but game direction absolutely should have gone to DS2.
dark souls 2 came out years ago bro smh my head
He obviously meant Dead Space 2
What kind of Majula have you been smoking? He meant the DS2, otherwise known as the DS Lite
maybe it was supposed to be the nintendo 2DS but misspelled 🤔
He meant the 2015 Trap Classic DS2(Dirty Sprite 2) by Future
It should have won best direction every year since

Arguably art direction wasn’t deserved either. No hate, but E33 is just a generic UE5 game.
Yeah I love E33 but that went to Silksong to me for being hand drawn (and gorgeous)
Good thing the category is art direction and not art quality
E33's art direction is how the visuals tell stories about the world and it's inhabitants (can't go into it cause spoilers), people calling it a "UE5 asset flip" are childishly missing the point
Thanks, I played the game
Memesong lost because it was more of the same
The art direction for Silksong is a whole new level above Hollow Knight. You can really tell how much Ari has improved as an artist over the years.
Edit: Also need to give credit to Hades 2 which is also a significant improvement in artistic direction over its successor.

RPG not going to KCD2 is insane, that game defines what a “role playing game” is.
He totally smells them and said what a good shit that is...

He’s in love with himself. He insists people he works with refer to him as “Director” and not by name.

maybe Kojima should learn from the master himself Shiggy instead of being such a big salt lord
Honestly I really wish that was kojima
Dude's ego is huge
death standing should've got a win somewhere. 33 wasn't 'that' great
DS2 definitely deserved game direction or art direction tbh
Did he just walk away after he didn’t win???
No, that's not Kojima, Kojima was sitting in a completely different place, he also invited the devs of E33 to tour his studio a while ago, so I doubt he feels that bad
Wait, he left the Game Awards? I didn't know that. What a Kojima thing to do.
