    Kojima's very good at spending way too much money, so he'll do fine in features

    Yeah it's another medium with a heavy focus on everything being the responsibility and direct work of a single person regardless of how many thousands of people they employ to help them "realize their vision."

    To be clear, I have no idea if his movies would be any good at all

    But he, personally, would do fine

    Shouldn't we be praising Kojima for getting people paid to do dumb bullshit, it's like when they dug random holes during the depression.

    I'm sure it was mostly a translation thing, but "you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds" is one of the funniest sentences ever

    Digging a hole and then filling it in is very hard on morale and really opens you up to "why dont you just give us the money" and all the guillotiney answers to that question

    There was a line in the Kotaku review of Death Standing I liked, that went "Games build excitement out of the parts a filmmaker would edit", and I do wonder if Kojima film would forego blockbuster editing and be far more indie art house in it's approach. Three Colors meets Beyond the Black Rainbow. Terrance Mallick meets Lynne Ramsay with shades of Lynch. Just indulgent mania really.

    I'd probably watch it, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy it. But it might be a heck of a ride.

    His "good at one thing = good at anything" makes sense if its phrased as "if you can put in the work in one thing you can apply that same dedication to other things". Skills arent usually transferable but practice is. You see plenty of people whose hobby becomes collecting hobbies as they learn one thing then another.

    And its not like video games are wholly different to movies. Its kinda like learning an instrument wildly different to the one you currently play, its a lot of new information to learn but you can still use some of the knowledge you gained on the first instrument. Doesnt mean youre a guarenteed good player, but you'll probably have a head start on someone with no musical experience.

    So apparently playing ME3 on 4k resolution leads to a pretty damn small ui

    A bit too small, but I can't find a UI scale slider or anything.

    Also everyone talks about the graphical improvements from ME1 to ME2, but it's honestly shocking how much better ME3 looks compared to ME2.

    ME 2 is where they made the genius decision to decouple the shooting from the stats. That realization that basic gameplay should not be crippled to support RPG leveling was the biggest contribution Bioware made to modern CRPG design.

    Sure. Why have an interesting nuanced character when you can have a wooden board that's painted red on one side and blue on the other.

    Also the red vs blue choices aren't really very nuanced, you're generally either snidely whiplash or space jesus

    Mass Effect from 2 onward did do the interesting thing where the choices were more between "No nonsense hardass" and "sauve diplomat." Aside from some stuff in the first game, that's not really a series where you can play the bad guy.
