I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose’s dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.
And she’s 100% justified. The older you get the more appearant it becomes that he’s bad at writing dialogue and story.
I could not stop cringing during Death Stranding. I had to fast forward the ending. I imagine Margaret Qualley being completely lost when they were capturing her character’s twin soul melding scene.
However, Rose’s bad dialogue could be explained as part of the canon because, you know AI, and you never hear herself speak. That’s probably not intentional though so, yeah.
I don’t necessarily think he’s bad at writing dialogue and story, I think he’s mostly just bad at writing women. As I’ve gotten older, I went from taking Metal Gear Solid super seriously to treating it like nuclear/techno Evil Dead
Guys in general are bad at portraying women, as I understand. That’s on top of being bad in general for Kojima, I think. There’s a funny interview with the MGS2 English translator Agness Kaku where she comments that the writing was nearly grade school fanfic.
