This thread lacks the man......Hideo Kojima 
When we're talking about favorite titles & most enjoyable experiences, the esoteric Metal Gear Solid series is certainly one of the best imo. I only own Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater & Guns of The Patriots but each of them are of unarguable quality imo.
It's an acquired taste but love it or hate it, name one other game that allows you to perform cartwheels with a naked man, slip on seagull guano, distract guards by slapping a porno mag on the floor, fight skating bombers named Fatman or to sneak inside a cardboard box, hold a urinating guard at gunpoint as a bloke with a phallic metaphor for a name?
Furthermore, he always plays with ideas that you just wouldn't see other devs attempting to do & yet, somehow he pulls it off. That hour long boss fight with an ancient sniper (who can be killed by changing your PS2's clock setting) the battle with Psycho Mantis who can randomly put your TV screen on Hideo output
, the good ole' "codec frequency is on the back of the CD case" (in which i spent hours searching in-game to find this only to realize it's on the back of my MGS copy) & then there is the Octo-camo mechanic in MGS4 which alters textures!?
This my friends, is why Hideo Kojima is......the man
Call him self-indulgent or too personal when it comes to his own art, but the man is a genius & so are his games. I'm going to be hanging around for news on Ground Zeroes like a moth to a light fixture just to see what this fellow cooks up next. One thing is for sure: you will either love it, hate it or be surprised by it, but most of all, you will admire it, because the man is daring. This is obviously just my subjective opinion, but it is one i stand by; the industry wouldn't quite be the same without this man's creativity & innovation imo.
What an absolute pimp!
