No I get that part but myself, along with many others, who really dig the game have clarified in painstaking detail what it is they find so appealing about the game. Not that I expect you to read all my posts, you didn't even talk to me directly, but as for myself, I'm well aware the dialog and characters are fucking asinine but it's not something that remotely factors into my enjoyment of games. I know it's C-grade Hollywood pastiche schlock juxtaposed with legit amazing world building and environmental storytelling, it's just that it doesn't impact me whatsoever. I grew up with story justifications like "oh no, someone kidnapped your girl, go fist-fight". I wager there are tons of players out there with the same take on Kojima's entertaining-yet-silly-and-fun story antics.
I don't get why the idea that some people just don't care if cutscenes are goofy is disturbing. I also don't understand why people expected a really serious, grounded philosophical treatise from a dude who continuously throughout his career, including this very game, had at the very least a handful of shit, piss and fart jokes in his games. In this game your weapons fighting otherwordly Silent Hill apparitions are...piss and shit and shower water grenades...and you can literally equip your cock and use the "fire" trigger to piss while a fucking baby strapped to your stomach giggles through your controller. I truly think players take Kojima's antics way more seriously than he does by a long stretch. And don't even get me started on the obviously silly ass character names, I think he's just having fun.
I just don't see the big difference here to his previous work in terms of silliness or juxtaposition of silliness and beautiful atmosphere and so on. In general, this game is typical, pure Kojima to me the more I play it and like I said, I seriously only rented it because I wanted to see just how shitty this game really is because the videos looked so fucking boring.
And again, I'm not trying to convince you or whatever, or even others, I just think the meme-level mockery this game is receiving is misguided and getting more and more ridiculous. It's a "thing" now and while I was on that bash train at first, I'm not saying everyone should love it just because I ended up doing so but it deserves way more of a chance than a lot of people are willing to give it, especially on a super-nerdy enthusiast forum like ERA.
Edit: Just to add, I'm fully aware Kojima's dumb ass marketing and Twitter shitposting largely contributed to this.
