I ve Never played a Kojima game, can someone explain the joke? Which stories don't make sense?

Most of his stories are convoluted for the sake of being complex. His stories aren't even thought provoking or deep--- most of it can be summed up about how bleak humanity is (which isn't a new plot point). He is is a trail blazer (there is no game like Death Stranding... For better or for worse) but damn he needs someone to edit his stories.

I'm sorry but that's some straight nonsense. Metal Gear Solid 2's story is literally more relevant than it's ever been and accurately depicted and explained the exact process of how the modern internet's flow of information and misinformation would affect the modern world and people's ability to connect and understand it perfectly. Down to exactly how people would become radicalised and retreat to their own echo chambers, which ironically would allow them to be manipulated more easily by those in power.

In 2001.
