this is the liberty we've won for ourselves.
 
Seconded. And judging by the picture, it seems like that's what we might getting :-)
For SOME REASON, Liquid Snake, in his prime, is like the only character we have not seem in any updated form, MGS4's Mount Snakemore is the closest we got.
Social Ops never even released a cool CG version of Liquid, we got nothing, but every goddamn outfit for Big Boss and even MGS1 Solid Snake got nice new CG looks for promotional purposes and so on, pretty much the entire MGS Franchise of characters got new updated models for different reasons, but Liquid is the only goddamn one we get nothing of.

So I'm going to be really salty if we get scenes redone on Fox but somehow see everyone but Liquid.
 
Do we seriously think the FOB system and gameplay will be behind a paywall of some sort or is it just on PS+? How have we not heard or seen anything in regards to MGO and future DLC at all yet? Other than the brief scene in one of the trailers, we haven't heard anything about competitive online content at all.

FOB appears to operate on some sort of token system. You can grind them for yourself in the main game or take a shortcut by buying tokens instantly.

No word on DLC yet which is great. $15 map packs that split the community up is not "supporting" a product.

Yeah just 2 weeks ago my yearly lamenting over this happened while looking at shinkawa's art. I mean come on he could drawn nude Sniper Wolf but no new Liquid art :( Same with CG marketing like you say.

Nice! This makes it sound a lot better imo. Not being able to spam someone's base over and over is a nice relief not to have to worry about.
 
Quiet spoiler from Burns review

So far the explanation for Quiet's lack of clothes is laughable (it involves, of course, photosynthesis – she can't 'breathe' with clothes on) and cheapens the story, as do the frequent butt shots of her and other women, including a member of a Borg-like undead sniper team. Then there's the mystical tribal leader with magical powers...it's crap, and barring some stunning late-game about-face should have been excised or changed long before it got into the final game.

#teamnotashamed
 
Did The End have a lot of closeups of his wrinkled ass cheeks and saggy old man breasts? Been a while since I played MGS3 - little fuzzy. Did Kojima personally oversee the design of The End's figurine to ensure his chest was soft and malleable?

Kojima has managed to at, at times, include women in his games which aren't totally embarrassing and pandering to teenagers. Maybe twice. It's a bit of a shame that in his swansong, seemingly the only woman we'll see in the game is this fuckin' disaster.

So you think it's ok to suffocate women just so they conform to your gender standards?

You should be ashamed of your words and deeds.

Why would you want to see the End's wrinkled ass lmao

When his dentures popped out it was funny. He was kind of a joke.
 
I always find it funny when people say fanservice is pandering to teenagers, as if adults aren't the ones with the spending money and the main ones perpetuating this.

The End was something else. Quiet was clearly made long after The End. They may have tried to copy and maybe improve him and ended up with a technical failure. I don't think he worked on parasites and thus had no turmors.

But it would be funny if they remade MGS3 and have him be completely naked. He will also renamed to The Schlong.

Oh shit you actually may be on to something here. Maybe these Skulls were based off Cobra data. The ability to disappear might have come from The Fear.
 
No it's not. It's 2015 and time for all of us to grow the hell up. I will never understand how a game designer with such a love for Western Fiction manages to come off as more sexist than Hollywood
But he doesn't, people are just being melodramatic, there's a reason she dresses the way she does, Raiden was more naked than she ever will be.

Before someone asks you "Were there close ass shots of Raiden?!" let me answer preemptively by saying YES there are MULTIPLE ass shots of Raiden, Raiden is tortured while naked, Raiden is groped, and he was LITERALLY DESIGNED TO APPEAL TO TEENAGE GIRLS lol

True enough and honestly I love his work.
The reasoning may be sound but I would say it's just an excuse to titillate
Let's not pretend Quiet's outfit has any other purpose than to give boners.

An exposed belly and cargo shorts would have worked just as well.
What next? Are her boobs bulletproof so she exposes them and bounces bullets off of them?

Which is honestly a very good thing BUT, exploitative representation of female characters are FAR FAR FAR more common. So Raiden's nudity was new and different while Quiet just looks like pandering
A character like Quiet wouldn't be such an issue if the industry was absolutely flooded with good female protagonists and supporting characters that are never used in a sexual manner much like their male counterparts


I would rather there be a female character that is all but naked and carries out a big signboard that says, "FANSERVICE" without any bullshit pseudo-scientific explanation as to why she's wearing a bikini and bouncing around a war zone.

Would make sense. Some people were drawing a direct connection between The Sorrow and Psycho Mantis. Since he is heavily featured? it could really be thay somebody tried to make his own improved Cobras.

What's funny is that Power Girl and Wonder Woman comics have made the same joke long before anime thought it would be cute and/or funny.

I mean a GIF like that I could see happen say in Saints Row. But not MGS V which many reviewers claim that despite some funny game-play features is incredibly dour and serious.

Non lethal weapons is the future of video games. I ran over thousands of people with me 2 tons Batmobile equipped with the electro/stun thingy and nobody was ever harmed! And even tough they fall into a wall and/or explosion afterward. Everything make me feels like I'm good guy with non lethal weapons.
 
But he doesn't, people are just being melodramatic, there's a reason she dresses the way she does

please, the "reason" for her to wear a bikini the whole time is just a BS excuse, like all the anime that show ancient gods in the form of 15 year old girls.
 
God, I knew Kojima was full of shit when he was all "you shall be ashamed of your words and deeds" and this just confirms it. I had a good time with MGS 1-4 but I am exhausted with Kojima's bullshit. Ground Zeroes was a bridge too far for me, so I'm skipping V and am done with the series.

Hyperbole indeed. Guess people forgot that in MGS:

  • someone in every game shits himself
  • someone is sometimes naked (Raiden, Johnny)
  • all the strong woman before that (Meryl, Fortune, the Boss)
  • all the manservice (Snakes ass, Raidens ass, Volgin & more)

Shit guys. There is fanservice for your dick in this game and Kojima even connected it to the story so that people won't cry that much. He should have just make her naked to piss everyone off because of virtual tits.

I mean yeah Kojima likes some "sexy" characters in his games, no one can deny that, I just never look at it like that, partly because no gender is safe from gratuitous fanservice in MGS, unwanted or otherwise, and that to me just makes the outrage silly and pointless as the only way to justify it is to start condemning him for fanservice of ANY kind. Which is just getting into freedom of expression and whatever which is losing track of an originally noble intent of trying to improve how women are viewed/shown in Media/games.

I just think using MGS to have this conversation is misguided and is totally the wrong place to start, especially after 20 years of people not really caring, on top of the fact Quiet isn't even remotely the "worst offender" in regards to fanservice designs throughout Metal Gear.
I mean hell, this should have been a thing during MGS4 with the BB Unit, which were boring and sloppy characters in general, add on to that their over sexualization, it all goes from an interesting concept to just pointless fanservice that is offensive on account of bad characters.

But that was 7/8 years ago now, at some point move on, I would rather people get upset over truly problematic things like Japan's excessively fanservicey waifu games and anime.
Quiet's choice of attire to function day to day isn't even in the horizen next to that as far as I'm concerned.

Venom Snake once he has found out that he isn't the real Big Boss.

Nah. I think it's the mirror punching scene right after he listens to the tape marked "from the man who sold the world."

Then you get the achievement called Truth where the conditions for unlocking are "complete the 'man who sold the world mission.'

That achievement gives you a picture of a hornless, scarless big boss on a motorcycle.

Either that or the tape is Zero or Skullface.

The mirror punching seems to happen after you slaughter Mother Base.

Did you see Furious 7? That movie has countless ass shots and women in bikinis dancing around.

It made a billion dollars.

Of course it did. But is Kojima making Fast & Furious or Metal Gear?
Especially since he claimed this one was going to be all serious.
Sure there is humor in the game-play itself, but the plot was going to be fairly dark.

But yes, Quiet is small fry compared to some of the truly atrocious fan-service that comes out of Japan

Oh I didn't forget about any of that, I just happened to put up with his nonsense before because I was young and immature. The best series tend to grow up with their fans, but by the time Ground Zeroes rolled around, he still thought things like putting bombs inside vaginas and graphic rape tapes were solid substitutes for meaningful story. I mean, the way he handled The Furies in 4 was also totally gross, but there seemed to be enough positives to slightly overlook how awful parts of that game were (like always).

Essentially, enjoying MGS has always been partially about accepting Kojima's bullshit to get to the good stuff. With Ground Zeroes, Kojima's bullshit was louder than ever before, while the rest of it just wasn't up to snuff. I find it frankly embarrassing that someone like him is propped up as some genius creator when there have been plenty of devs over the past decade that have told far better stories without Kojima's trademark bullshit.
 
My initial thought is that it's just an MGS3 throwback skin. We are probably gonna see a lot of skins and outfits from other games in the series.

But his face absolutely looks younger.

Throw some headphones on the medic model and replace his MSF patches with Foxhound.

Would be cool as an ultimate unlock/trophy/treasure considering much of the MB stuff isn't canon anyway.
S++ combat stats.

Come on. The series was never for you I guess. Beauty and the Beast stuff was way worse than Quiet in MGS5. You could slap their asses, photograph them in a special room, play music which they dance too and hear them moan all the time. Very mature right?

Bomb in a vagina is brutal, but it seems that this was just a dream, but guess what? Real life is even way crueler and we people just see the good things nowadays. People still kill kids in many countries, fuck them up and let them run around with bombs just to kill a few religious people that they don't like.
 
You can change Quiet's outfit once you recruit her to the base, correct?
More than likely, in Peace Walker, Snake and every MSF Soldier that you could use in side missions had a "Naked" Outfit, which I believe allowed you to move much better but you couldn't carry many weapons or anything at all. Quiet's default outfit is her variation of the "Naked" Outfit.

Came in expexting fresh spoilers, instead this page is filled with Quiet whining.

Like Jesus its been over 2 years, get over it guys. Either you never played a Kojima game before or you just want to complain for the sake of complaining.
 
Did you see Furious 7? That movie has countless ass shots and women in bikinis dancing around.

It made a billion dollars.

It also had a large, diverse cast that puts most movies (and ESPECIALLY most games) to shame and presented itself as a tribute to an actor who (skills can be debated for sure) was widely mourned and celebrated.

Furious 7 has its problems but its strengths far outweigh its gratuitous T&A shots.

Except Kojima specifically said there was a mature reason behind her appearance, and complaining about out-of-place sexual objectification is perfectly valid.

Exactly. He set himself up for this by going "You will be ashamed for your words and deeds." And even if he didn't, I'm still within my rights to call him out for being gross.

Was 4 grosser? Possibly! This is the first I've ever heard of the photo gallery mode (which, what the fuck). But that doesn't excuse V's shit.
