So I'm hoping it's "regular Kojima gross" (sigh/cringe) and not "THAT WAS A BIT TOO FAR AND THEN SOME, DUDE. I haven't heard about anything as extreme as the stuff that's in one particular Ground Zeroes tape and the final cutscene, and the game lacks the ESRB "sexual violence" warning Ground Zeroes carried. It is definitely still A Hideo Kojima Game™ in every respect that matters to me with all the good and bad that implies. The game also shares Ground Zeroes' "look in binoculars, hit a button to get more info about what you're looking at" thing, which takes away a lot of the other codec calls in the game. A lot of that stuff has been relegated to tapes. The main game is an open world thing where you can play for hours and hours with nary a cutscene to be found. Yes, the prologue takes about an hour to play through and it is cutscene heavy relative to the core of the game, but it's also basic movement controls and a bunch of plot setup (it's also a crazy horror game on a certain level). Snake in this game isn't the chatty cathy he was in MGS3 and Peace Walker, though he does talk more in optional tapes. In fact, a lot of people who happen to like that sort of thing have been concerned that the game goes too far in the other direction and is too light on story. He started doing six or seven years ago when he was like 19 and it shows (there's a couple of homophobic slurs/jokes that slip in like once or twice in the earlier stuff - maybe not even the Metal Gear stuff, but I'm not 100% certain of that - and they're shitty and he apologized, but I didn't want anyone to be taken by surprise.

I will say that MGS3 (and some of the other early stuff on his web site - parts of MGS1 too, probably) are a little rough content wise. MGS3 and Peace Walker are the ones that chronologically precede Ground Zeroes and the Phantom Pain. He's going to do Ground Zeroes/The Phantom Pain once he masters them (he doesn't do the Day 1 stuff). If you have no interest/ability to play the games but want to marvel at their absurdity, his LPs are the way to go.
