Please. Kojima would be considered a joke in the film industry. He's only overrated as a "great storyteller" by people like you because the bar for quality writing is incredibly low in the game industry. So in comparison to everybody else he seems "amazing".
He and David Cage are people who desperately wish they wish they were making movies but don't have the talent to do so. So they strive to make games they pass off as "experiences".
Your name pretty much proves you wrong already. I don't have to say anything else to prove you wrong.
Mr. mtjormitch is right. While Kojima is a goddamn hack, I'm going to disagree about stories in games being considered low quality. There are games with far better stories than the majority of movies. Some even have better acting, dialogue, special effects, etc.
Though none of that applies to a Kojima game, obviously.
This kind of thinking is the epitome of what I'm talking about. You need to watch more movies and read books. Video games are the lowest on the totem pole in regards to storytelling.
To say otherwise shows that you take video games too seriously.
Are you serious? If you really think that then you are a fool. When even an average video game has more of a script and honestly higher story quality than even the most artsy of movies. You know something is wrong with the movie industry. The sheer fact that indie video games are awesome while Indie movies ARE NOT GOOD at all should also say something. It takes actual talent to make a video game, but not a movie.

People need to realize that games are art. Seriously, it's been proven over and over again. I think it's about time to people to man up and finally say this.
