And then the villain died right afterwards anyhow.

Literally every metal gear game

Whereas normal Japanese devs have keywords for development (blood, rage, fury were bloodbornes I think), no one but Kojima uses them so obnoxiously.

Take mgs4: it's entirely obvious that Kojima heard the words "war economy" and thought they were some cool shit. Fair enough. But then instead of subtly working that motif into the plot, he just makes characters keep saying it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

I deluded myself into thinking it wouldn't be like I thought it was but it was worse. The previous two Max Payne games began by opening with the present time and you playing through Max's experiences that led to that point. Both were vague with indication of what was going to happen. Then Max Payne 3 with it's bright atmosphere deviated completely from the gritty Noir and became a stupid mindless shooter while opening with complete spoilers. Not even an attempt to be vague showing they absolutely did not care about the story.
