This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He has a massive following for a reason, but nothing he’s done has ever truly appealed to me, personally.

Spicy opinions incoming:

  • His dialogue is absolutely atrocious; I’m not convinced he’s ever spoken with a real human.
  • His plotting is cliche and convoluted, and there is literally no excuse for a 70+ minute cutscene in any game. I get the sense he’d much rather be making movies but found success in games so keeps making them instead.
  • The only Kojima game I’ve genuinely enjoyed was the original MGS; a preference which made way more sense when I learned that it’s also the only game in the series where he didn’t have full control over the localisation and a third party took care to try and make his nonsense actually intelligible.
