Why you do you think that? There are plenty of reasons why one might not like his stories, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad story teller. His stories are very in-depth and connections made across years of stories, from the first to the last.
MGS series is an action drama, and I love it.
But I am still curious why you feel that he isn’t a good story teller, that quote was of course a joke, but yeah.
