I dont think anybody is questioning him making good games.  It is how he worded things and it makes him sound like a jerk.  No matter how you twist his words it still sounds bad.  There is a difference between arrogance and confidence and this is simply arrogance.  Not only is there good game designers (and I know that he didnt say all, but most) but there is better game designers than him.  He hasnt even made anything in for how long? Yet he is criticizing todays industry.

how dare you put cliffy b in the same post as kojima and miyamoto

As shown above in a previous post he has made hit game after hit game.  gears, Unreal tournament,  Jazz Jackrabbit, Infinity Blade, Shadow Complex, he was also working on Fortnite.  Most of those are in just the last 5 years.  Tell me who else has a track record like that?   he has yet to make a bad game.  Kojima has only made one good series and I included him.  Miyamoto is just a legend that has some of the most iconic characters of all time.

Use your brain.

Just saying.  Kojima is one of my favorites and has made a complelling, complex story that was able to last for decades and is still going which is an accomplishment all on its own.  He is respected for that exact reason because that one series is that good. Even Kojima has admitted he wants to make one more game that is good before he retires.  He says that he doesnt want to be known just for Metal Gear but sadly he is.  He has other titles like snatcher, Policenaughts, Lunar Knights, and Zone of Enders.  If you havent heard of them there is a reason for that.  Zone of Enders let people down but was his most ambitious project in the last decade that didnt involve Metal Gear.  

As I said before Kojima is awesome and Metal Gear is one of my all time fav series but beyond Metal Gear he hasnt really done much.

Go ahead and start naming them.  These are the first 3 guys that comes to my mind.  There are other great caliber developers but id like you to name some that has yet to make a bad game and has thrown hit after hit out there.  

Im not saying Cliff is the best ever and he is actually hated by many because of his attitude but you would be a fool to say he is bad at what he does because only a few developers can say they have achieved as much as he has in a short amount of time.

I gave you a hint already. You like metacritic scores, right? Take a look at the score of every game he has directed:

I'd actually only say one of those 3 are.... of course to be fair i have no idea who the white dude is.

Additionally, he was just naming dudes off the top of his head.

And that is a great track record.  As i said there are other gret caliber designers but not many is at that level.  Read my posts again. I never said that these are the only 3. These are the ones that came to my mind first and most of my responses was not towards you.  And when I said some I meant more than one.  There are great designers but the previous guy laughing because I put Cliff on that list is of poor judgement.  same goes to people making fun of Peter Molyxnuex.  He has been great and even Fable as a whole has been great.  3 was not so good but he has a lot of games from the 90s that was good too.  

You expect modesty from the guy who named himself Lord British, made $150,000 off of a videogame he programmed at 18, and didn't even try to sell, then after being in the industry for a while decided to send himself to space just for the hell of it?
