When he basically cussed out and effectively backstabbed Portable Ops and Rising just because they weren't made by him, basically made statements that far too many people are debating whether that means they are canon or not, or any of that, yes, that basically makes him narcissistic, and in fact, he even tweeted an image of a modded Raiden Play Arts KAI figure with his face on it that he allegedly got from Platinum Games. Honestly, Mega Man X6 wasn't even made by Keiji Inafune at all, yet even he at least made sure it was undeniably canon after it was made and even went as far as to change his original plans for the Mega Man Zero franchise specifically to take into account the events of X6. Eh, so what, though? I mean, he's devoted most of his life to the Metal Gear franchise, it's his brainchild and his baby, he has a right to dictate what is canon and what isn't (irrespective of whether or not he made them), he's an artist and I applaud him for not relenting. Why should anyone else get to dictate the canon of Kojima's universe? Regarding the figure, I don't really see the issue there either, it's just kinda funny so he tweeted it, I don't think he was implying anything other than that. I think you're looking for things to attack because you personally don't like his attitude. That's fine, but that doesn't make him X or Y.

Regarding the original post, as much as it pains me to say this, I kind of hope this is the last Metal Gear Solid title. All I personally want to see is a FOX Engine remake of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, and I know how divisive that can be, but that's what I'd like to play.
