As reported by IGN Japan, prolific Japanese director Mamoru Oshii loves Fallout 4—like, more than anyone I've met or heard of in my entire life. In a new video celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ghost in the Shell, Oshii revealed that he has played 2,000 hours on PlayStation, followed by another 8,000 on Steam.
According to a machine translation of the IGN Japan article, Fallout 4 was Oshii's immediate answer when asked his favorite game, estimating a 10,000 hour playtime across console and PC. He referred to it as "a game that seems to have been made for my own desires," noting that VATS aiming jelled with his relative lack of facility with twitch aiming—though he has, apparently, gotten at least one Chicken Dinner in PUBG.
Oshii also had a very trenchant observation about violence in RPGs: He appreciates Fallout's verisimilitude, how its ultra-violence makes sense in its post-apocalyptic setting. He contrasted this with Cyberpunk 2077, where the violence can clash with the relative civility of Night City.
