from what my friend said of working with kojima, she had a blast. said that kojima speaks in a rather unique style, so much so they called it "kojima speak". but those last few months working on ground zeroes and the phantom pain were horrible. the mess between kojima bled over into the other departments. they were looking funds. due dates were pushed back and forward all the time. even kojima was looking haggard from the drama.
sigh. i honestly think there was a good story in 5 but we'll probably never see it.
