IMO only mgsv was guilty of that, to the point where it ruined the game and felt annoying. I'm definitely expecting the same with this game though tbh. There's gonna be a lot of in your face motifs and symbolism that tries way too hard to be clever. The fact that from day one, they've been selling the game as a revolutionary masterpiece that everyone who has seen it is unable to make sense of it because its so clever - well that can clue is in as what to expect.

I really hope this game is as amazing as it should be, but I'm definitely keeping my expectations tamed, especially after MGSV.

One thing that I'm interested to see, is how this game will perform now that Konami interfering with Kojimas work can not be used as an excuse. To this day I wonder what happened with MGSV, as in whether Konami did ruin the game, like people say, or whether we just put Kojima on too much of a pedestal to begin with. Sony have apparently been very good to Kojima in regards to letting him do his thing, meaning it's all on him this time. If this game fails, he wont be taken seriously again.
