Famed Metal Gear director calls Japanese creators strange for spending so much time and money on their finales.
In an interview with Japanese website Comic Natalie, Kojima spoke about some of the differences between the Japanese and Western video game markets, as well as the gamers that play in them, and had this bold statement to make:

Kojima does point out one exception to foreign gamers blasé attitudes regarding video game conclusions, though: His own titles. When I dont make a great ending, people get mad at me he notes, lamenting the difficulties in making a game thats so strongly connected with a single creator and his personal style.
