Honestly don't care about any of their designs.
In the end, we all know it's just fan-service. Giving an explanation for why it's so sexy within the game's universe makes it more bearable, to an extent.
What the hell? Does she really have a ***************** on a plain shirt that's hanging over a flat snake tail? I always knew this thing is a corny monster girl fetish fuel, but that's just preposterous.
yeah she's like a plant. she don't eat. all she needs in water and sunlight. she also doesn't speak and something about fire and lungs that still doesn't make sense to me
yeah i got that part but i don't get the not breathing part and the whole thing about setting her on fire and throwing her out of the hospital in the prologue
yes, but why not use her lungs? and if she doesn't breathe, how the **** does she keep humming all the god damn time? and what even was that in the beginning? was that before she got infected or something?
i guess its just suspension of disbelief. kind of like how metal gears can work at all. or how a man can control fire or stay alive by willpower alone. or how a flying fire unicorn exists. christ that prologue was a ******* fever dream.
Lets ignore the fact that almost every single male character in gaming is an attractive, fit individual and instead focus on the women because they're only being used for eye candy.
Snake and ocelot didn't have a shower scene, don't constantly wear swim suits or constantly make provocative poses and and are all around respectable and badass. Quiet IS there for eye candy she is there to be stared and and for people to make porn of. If she wasn't why cant she wear combat gear as her standard gear, and not be an unlock?
You're forgetting MGS4. The supermodel bosses in that game were just shoved in so that Kojima could hang out with supermodels. All in all I'd say he just makes the game he wants to play and lets us all in on it.
That comes from the aptly named "Naked" Camo option available in MGS3 and Peace Walker.
Now that the game is released what I'm most upset about is that the character Quiet didn't have as good of a reason for being who she was as Kojima tried to reassure everyone pre-release. Some plot details in MGSV are so improbable I can't stand them. The game even almost has some sort of biological nano machines.
Personally, I really just want a mod for a model swap of Quiet to a non-revealing outfit. Then I can play the game without it bugging me. I found Quiet to be way to forward with trying to hit on Venom Snake and genuinely disliked the scene where she put her ass in my face. Bleh.
As for lots of male characters being attractive: That's a part of who they are and either passively or actively it's played up. Quiet NEEDED to be wearing very little clothes while also acting like she WANTED to be wearing very little clothes all of the time, making the "absolutely necessary" reason Kojima gave almost feel null and void.
The hospital scene? He was probably shirtless to to enphasise that snake was vulnerable and exposed, he has no clothes on hes has to slowly crawl past enemies with no way of fighting back, I seem to remember a similar scene in a Bruce Willis movie though I don't remember the movie . That scene was also not there to excite sexually the player it was there to make the player feel exposed, not like the shower scene. Off the top of my head, I don't remember snake flexing while Ishmael is explaining everything to him, not like quiet when your in the helicopter constantly pointing her ass in the air. Even then snake got his shirt back and wears through pretty much the entire game, quiet however by default wears bikini unless you change it your self she'll keep on wearing it as far as I know. Quiet is there for eye candy something to look at not to be an interesting character as she doesn't have a personality beyond silent assassin.
And before the dickheads jump on me and call me liberal cuck or whatever 4chans word of the month is today, there is nothing wrong with putting a character in to be sexy, it's just annoying, the breathes through her skin excuse is ******** , and how much of a waste quiet was, she could have been a interesting character, but instead she is a set of tits and ass, nothing else.
You've obviously never ever played the game, or you'd realize that from mission 1 you can choose to go shirtless as Snake in almost every single outfit, for every single mission. It's not JUST the hospital, but that fits your reasoning so why bother with facts right?
I know you can make him shirtless, but by default what does he wear? Combat gear. When you think of snake in mgsv you think of him wearing default his combat gear, that's what they sold him on that's what all the screen shots show him wearing quiet wears the bikini by default, and again snake doesn't pose constantly the camera doesn't focus on his abs when he is on screen and to top it off he has character. He has personality people will talk about snake and ocelot because of their character and personality no one will talk about quiet personality because she wasn't given one, they just pulled a generic backstory added some mgs aspects to it and thought that was fine. and because i get the felling you din't read my comment ill say it again, there is nothing wrong with adding a character to be sexy but be honest with it kojima said there was a reason she was wearing what she was wearing but it was a cope out reason it was ******** and I would have preferred it if they just made her wear those clothes for now real reason other then its sexy I would respect them more. But they didn't and quiet COULD have been a good character but they did nothing with it.
Snake and Ocelot have a backstory because they're in multiple ******* games and are centric to the main MG storyline you idiot. Comparing them to someone like Quiet who has little to no effect on the overall MG story is just stupid and pointless.
Like your complaints about a character you didn't make and should no personal interest in. Why don't you go complain to some porn directors why they seem to focus more on women in porn? Because that will have the same result as what you're complaining about now.
I like how you ignore most of my comments, blatantly ignoring most of it ignoring the important parts. Why do you care about snake or ocelot or anyone in movies? Why take any personal interest in them? You didn't write them why care about them? Because they are what drive they story they are why you play them games, and because she doesn't have a big effect on the game she cant have a decent backstory? And one more time it is FINE that she is there to be sexy but man up and say she is there to be sexy I personally think she could have been better she could have been a bayonette esque character, you uses sex and her looks to distract the enemy she could have been good but she was there for eye candy THAT IS FINE but be honest, its annoying when people try to justify it.
I'm just going to stop answering you now. You ARE quite clearly an easily upset bitch, otherwise you wouldn't care so much to argue about why I find a character someone else created to be normal and you find it not good enough.
But instead you choose to complain about what the character COULD have been. Well, she's not. Guess you'll just have to live with it huh?
If that's what you took away from my comment then I guess you ignored my comment too. If something in the game offends or upsets you that much then I guess you aren't it's target audience.
I don't go around complaining that Sims games don't have enough violence, or that Romance movies don't have enough action. Suck it up buttercup.
Nothing offends or upsets me, at no point have i said it offends or upsets me I said quiets wasted potential is annoying not I'm offend but hey you haven't read any of my comments so far so you probably just went through the thought process "this person disagrees with me there for they must be an easily offended bitch, cause that's the only people who would have conflicting views with me." It's hard to talk to people like that.
>snake didn't have a shower scene
dude, you shower every time you get back to mother base unless you're some sort of plebian
also, all the uniforms have the naked option, where snake runs around shirtless. I'm not saying it's same, but it's still a little something for those inclined to swing that way
Was snakes shower scene provocative? For someone probably, but that wasn't its intent quiets was supposed to be something you get a boner over, as for the naked option the first part of #134.
Or you could not bitch over their design choices and let the company make it's own goddamn game. don't like it? don't play it. or make your own game where all the women dress like muslim women and kill towelheads. just stop whining over someone else's choices
They did not replace her lungs. They healed them up. The photosynthesis is an after effect of the treatment, originally meant to allow her to breathe while her lungs recovered, which also hints at the ability of the parasites to accelerate healing, and even to allow certain parts of body to heal up and regrow, which is not normally possible. It also improves her ability to aim tremendously, due to the fact she needs not to breathe, thus there is nothing throwing off her aim.
Replaced them, as in, did their job. Her lungs were ash by the time the parasites got injected into her. They do the lungs job through her skin, her real lungs are gone forever.
It's not explained how she does it in the game, but if we accept that parasites can make her breathe through her skin, giving her the ability to talk isn't much of a stretch. More so when you take into account that the ability for their host to talk is something they require to reproduce, they probably have a failsafe coded in their genes along with the rest of their "abilities".
Show me the pics of that, I never saw anything like that in the game, and if there were any actual X-ray pics, they were most likely taken before she was injected with the parasites. Otherwise she would not be able to hum or even talk.
Also, she recovered fairly well from her injuries. If the info I read is right, then she had terrible burns all over her body, lost a good portion of her lungs and was overall at the brink of death. Yet when you meet her, you see no scars or traces of burns whatsoever, which can only mean her body has completely recovered from the injuries, including her internal organs.
The parasites never healed her lungs. There are different strains of parasites, the one she had was the one Code Talker refers to as 'the one that covers' meaning it is external only.
Because I can no longer reply below I'll post here.
"If she has suffered enough damage to lose both her liver and lungs, it is highly unlikely she would not lose that as well."
Who said she lost her liver? All they ever said was lung damage thanks to the chemicals she inhaled at the hospital. No reason to think her diaphragm has gone, and unless they explicitly state that it has gone, we can't make assumptions like that.
¨As additional aid, the parasites compensated for the digestive organs she lost from her burns, enabling her to "drink" through her skin when showering so long as she did not move too much while in fresh water (saltwater burning her instead), as well as receiving carbohydrates through photosynthesis, much like The End.¨
Source: Wikipedia
Why else do you think she has to photosynthesize, and doesn't want to eat at all?
Most of her abdomen and chest sustained injuries severe enough to destroy internal organs in those areas, including lungs and presumably liver, yet her diaphragm is somehow magically exempt from that? And even if it was, you cannot use your lungs, if they are completely burned up, as air sacs, because intense heat causes evaporation of water, and thus loss of elasticity that is necessary for lungs to function, even as air sacs.
When they say that her lungs and her digestive organs were burned out, It is pretty clear that her diaphragm was burned out as well. They never said it, but it is blatantly obvious. Also, even if she were able to use them as air sacs after all, how come she didn't cough up that petal? Honestly thinking about it further, it is simply impossible use the space your lungs are as air sacs.
Lungs are like shaped baloons in your chest, they get inflated by air pressure, and deflated by the pressure from diaphragm. They rely on elasticity to gather as much air as possible, and that elasticity can be lost by inhaling foreign elements like tar (hence why smokers experience shortages of breath). Her lungs got burned and charred to hell, which means that unless the parasites healed her, she is not inhaling or exhaling or humming or talking anytime soon. It is medically and physically impossible.
Seriously, the extent of her injuries and her recovery is one big story telling mess. It would make sense if she recovered from her injuries, and her photosythesis stayed as an alternative she simply chosen to embrace over food, but it seems they wanted to make her suffer some kind of permanent damage, ******* up the script in the process.
"Did you actually watch the beginning of the game? Sounds like you either pirated it, or skipped the opening sequence."
I'm well aware she was set on fire but unless the cutscene showed the flames entering her mouth, down her windpipe, into her lungs and burning them to the degree that you claim wouldn't make them viable air sacs, then their story is sound.
All we know is that she was set on fire, fueled by chemicals, she fell from a tall height (which could be the cause of her internal digestive organs failing, they never said those organs burned up, only lungs) and that her lungs were damaged badly enough to prevent them from giving her body oxygen. EVERYTHING else is speculation.
I believe that it is fairly obvious that if you burn up someone´s lungs enough for them not to be able to use them in for their original purpose, then it is fairly obvious they are neither capable of inflating and deflating as well. And besides, the game explicitly states that all that was left from her lungs were charred remains.
Anyone with a small amount of medical knowledge knows what will happen to flesh that was burned beyond repair.
"And even if it was, you cannot use your lungs, if they are completely burned up, as air sacs, because intense heat causes evaporation of water, and thus loss of elasticity that is necessary for lungs to function, even as air sacs."
Her lungs got rekt from the inhalation of the chemicals that Ishmael threw at her, not fire. Meaning no heat, no evaporation and no loss of elasticity.
Lol no that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying she gets her oxygen through her skin yes, BUT, that doesn't mean she can't still intake air into what remains of her lungs. Her lungs are still there they just don't give her body oxygen anymore.
My bad, you meant that she could use the burned remains of her lungs to store air. The problem is that you have to use diaphragm to be able to expunge air through your lungs. If she has suffered enough damage to lose both her liver and lungs, it is highly unlikely she would not lose that as well.
According to someone (Magical Indian Chief I guess) her lungs got completely wrecked by Ishmael's burning love. How she can hum, beats me. Maybe she only got the parasite while Skeletor healed her lungs and now he's basically fine. After all, you can dress her in XOF fatigues and she doesn't die as the game says she will.
Her lungs are basically giant pieces of coal. They don't work. The only reason she is alive is because of the parasites that do all the photosynthesis work for her. The parasites are the only reason she can even go poop. They do absolutely everything that has to do with her being alive and able to communicate through humming.
She can breath, its just that she doesn't need to, so chooses not to outside of when she feels like humming.
And in the intro she was just a normal human. When she got burned inside and out and fell out the window, they scooped her up and did some experimental experiments with parasites on her and the Quiet you know is the result.
She simply does not need to. They never stated she CANT breathe with her lungs, they just said she breathes through her skin. Imagine it like sitting in front of your computer, and never having to inhale for oxygen. I think this was made so she can snipe with greater precision.
she 'died' in prologue, skull face gave her parasites. parasites can't rebuild lost body parts, but they can sustain her. most of her vital organs are pepsi, so parasites make it so she can 'breathe' and 'drink' through her skin, and absorb nutrients from the sun
Quiet is the female XOF soldier that sneaked into the hospital in the beginning to kill Boss. She got lit on fire by Ishmael and because of that her lungs are permanently damaged. That's also why she now breaths like a plant and junk.
**mrpotatofudge used "*roll picture*"** **mrpotatofudge rolled image**
from my limited knowledge on characters i can only assume that those three girls are
I just used pcsx2, getting it set up/understanding it was a bitch.
under config > video > plugin settings I put direct3D11 (hardware), auto interlacing, x3 scaling the resolution, enabled texture filtering, edge anti-aliasing and put 8 extra rendering threads. Didn't use speedhacks, worked like a charm.
The only time things like this happen is after major downtimes, after which 90% of all rolled pictures is the first one posted after the site goes functional again.
This has happened on FJ too
Man, I'm gonna die waiting for them to announce an english localization of the 3ds version of this game. Actual spoilers; they added an alternate ending where the hero can marry jessica instead after doing some relationship events with her. Kinda ****** since that leaves medea with a spouse-beater and possible rapist, but it's there I guess
"QUIET HAS NO EXCUSE IT'S ALL SEXIST"
"She breathes through her skin"
"WOW WHAT A LIE WHAT STUPID LIE THAT IS SO ******** KOJIMA IS SUCH A PIG"
Yeah, because character creation definitely comes before character bios.
Just calm your collective vaginas, god damn, she breathes through her damn skin.
I know you people love crying over petty **** but seriously, stop embarrassing yourselves.
"it's completely completely out of place" - frenzyhero on the subject of Quiet's revealing clothes
meanwhile, we've been playing a ripped guy in a skin-tight suit through half the games, villains and heroes alike have a tendency to be half-naked and in perfect shape.
but when it's a chick, suddenly it's a great sin.
I agree.
It's not because I find her outfit too revealing, MGS does it all the time.
Fortune and Vamp had similar outfits that worked, but I feel like they missed the mark with Quite.
Yeah, she should have just stripped naked because she's a ******* plant. There's no point in having underwear is she doesn't even take a piss or wear tampons.
I never understood making excuses for your character, I mean it's YOUR character, you can make them any way you like. Nobody asks why Snake has a beard, he has one because it makes him more attractive, just like bigger tits to the non-pedophile population.
Flat may be justice, but it's gonna be justice delivered behind bars, queer.
This is true, but they are rare. There's also the fact that big breasts are something we instinctualy find appealing, so if someone dislikes them in favour of small breasts, it's stranger than vice-versa.
But that literally doesn't mean anything. Your judgement comes from your complete misunderstanding of us.
We don't exclusively love flat chests, as much as we accept all boobs. People make it so complicated by narrowing down exactly what they want in a woman, we make it simpler by saying we just want women.
Flat chests aren't necessarily a loli thing, it's just a flat chest thing.
That's...I'm sorry, I was wrong. That was beautiful, and a true lover of breasts should not discriminate. I stand by you and your judgements, sir; small breasts need love too.
And I salute you! You not only accepted something that you were against only moments before but you did it without being a complete cunt. We need more of you in this world.
I think Quiet needs an explanation, since she's supposed to be a former assassin and now works in the military... But she's running around in a bikini that's 2 sizes too small and torn leggings? What? Every single other person gets military gear, while she gets a trip to the beach and a coupon for Hot Topic leggings. It's ridiculous.
I don't give a **** if women are sexualized in situations where it's understandable, why should I? But don't shove a "Girls Gone Wild" bitch into tactical situations and tell me it's "normal."
Ah, but it's not an official military, just a massive mercenary "country". Really, if you're an expert in your field, you can do whatever you please so long as it doesn't jeopardize the mission or teammates.
Sorry, I haven't gotten around to playing MGS so I'm making a lot of assumptions here.
But who in their right mind would want to run around in that get up with bullets flying everywhere and explosions going off? Yeah, sure, do whatever you want. I'm assuming she WANTS to stay alive, so she would put on camo gear and bullet vests, not the latest Victoria Secret.
I wouldn't mind if the creators didn't try and play it off/justify her outfit. If they admitted that she's practically naked for the sake of being practically naked, I'm cool with it. But if you're trying to play it off like it's practical I'm not gonna be too happy about it.
okay
how does this make any sense
does this make bullets any less fatal
so is her heart more resilient to a bullet than others
did she train with smaller bullets to make the bigger bullets less effective
is she a ******* immortal or
Just because she can take the pain of a bullet doesn't mean the bullet doesn't still do damage
To be fair I think Quiet is one of the less BS things in the games, but also one of the most unnecessary things.
Also, Venom tanks bazooka shots because video games.
Ocelot is the son of a medium and the mother of the battlefield, so he uses ghost hype to be awesome.
Volgin was straight up a Japanese culture joke, He says Kuwabara Kuwabara and lightning doesn't affect him hence why when he gets popcorned by it he didn't get a chance to say it since Kuwabara is Japanese for mulberry tree and a Chinese proverb is about mulberry trees not being struck by lightning.
Old snake is an amalgamation of the best parts of BB and nano machines
BB bench pressing zeke is because hes straight baller
Fear and the rest of the GRU save for Sorrow and Joy have been retconned to have similar parasites to quiet's as the reason for their powers.
The theory for the Eisenstein-Rossen bridge gas been around for a long time
like its all pseudo-science or magic because pop culture. so its fine man
venom tanking bazooka shots is canon, not gameplay mechanic.
im not sure i understand that...but okay?
kuwabara is actually a japanese chant used during lightning storm to make sure you arent struck by it, he says it everytime it storms, the only time he didnt say, is when he got struck by lightning.
old snake doesnt have nanos, if i recall, also every character worth their salt in the franchise has hypersonic reaction speed.
only end got retconned as a parasite.
but there has been no warp tunnels created.
metal gear solid is fiction, despite its apparently low key settings, it still works on different laws and such than our universe. you shouldnt bother your head trying to make it work the same way we work. since that just leads to inconsistencies in the game lore.
To my knowledge the only canon cannon shot he survived was at the end of GZ, which was barely survived.
What i was saying is that ocelot is some weird amalgamation of ghost **** and natural battle prowess.
The kuwabara thing is exactly what i said, i was explaining where it came from.
Old snake did have nanomachines, just older ones, that's how fox die was repopulated inside his body.
Also what happened was they were all retconned, but the only one who had their parasites recovered was end. in one of his tapes Code-talker talks about wanting to have taken the parasites from the other GRU members and the possibilities.
While its only theoretical the idea for it predates the 70's
While you are right that game has inconsistencies, it does at least try to hold some semblances of psudeo science
mg1. the end fight consist out of shooting bb with bazooka. repeatedly to the face.
which still doesnt explain why boss and bb and rest of the normal humans of the series have similiar,if not greater stats.
not sure about the old snake one, fox die as i recall was part of his genome.
what i recall is that code talker was complaining about not being able to work on the body of end .
and while it is theoretical here, its reality in there.
the game doesnt really have inconsistencies in stats as soon as you suspend your disbelief.
MG1 is messy because graphical and mechanical limitations, i take it as it was less straight bazooka to face and more of a standard gun fight in reality.
well from mgs 1 forwards in time genetic modification and nano-machine based enhancements were being studied for use, so for the more future games it was the genetics and nano bots. For bb and the seventies era i'd say it was just acts of extreme circumstance, like adrenaline related issues.
Old snake did have the nano-machines, which is why when he first meets Drebin he gets the shot that updates his nano-machines "firmware." Also fox die is introduced by the shot given to him in mgs 1 to stop him from freezing on shadow Moses.
Code talker complained about only getting to work on the ends body, since the others had parasites too but couldn't be recovered.
eh it coulda happened.
true, but suspension of disbelief is required for most things though.
feats dont work that way,and it wasnt a gun fight, it was quite frankly, straight on shooting the boss to the face with a bazooka several times in a row.
yet most of these feats were pulled off casually. for instance,ocelot shooting lightning out of the sky.
aight.
he lost his access to the end's body which caused the grief. if i recall correctly.
true, which is why trying to apply logic from our world into a game world that is quite clearly ignoring these rules, is useless.
best way i can put it is she has skin like concrete thanks to parasites that allow her to photosynthesize, turn invisible, and have super strength. These parasites also allow her to not need to eat or breathe, and can theoretically replace internal organs that are damaged since they did that for the creator code-talker after his started to fail from old age so really she has no need, and would be hindered as she breathes through her skin, for armor or any real clothes
To be fair, her powers and **** are a side note to the bigger picture of what the parasites can do, and cause to happen. Also didn't say it was a good excuse just the one they used, i don't really like quiet much in general.
At least she wasn't a weird psychic Russian kid who used other peoples emotions to power a giant robot, because if she was she'd be pretty cool
Well, honestly, i have to say if you haven't played any of them you are doing yourself a disservice because the first 5 games, MGS1, 2, 3, peace walker, and 4 are really fun and worth playing, but if its just 5 you are putting off kinda have to say its cool its lack luster and disappointing to me, who for the record is a stupidly diehard MGS fan
A lot of characters have these OP skill traits so it balances out. If a lot of characters are op then no one is op if you dig? Theres a lot more other characters that have really cool skill sets like her's but better. Cool series.
The people that think Frank O'Connor was the one that came up with the reason why Cortana is so sexy are the same retards who didn't read the books, where for YEARS it has said THAT EXACT THING. In fact I think it was in First Assault which came out... around the time Halo 2 did, I think, maybe even before.
Like seriously, all the **** like Arbiter's "profile" that Locke made? That's just taken straight from the books and they left out the best part where a bunch of assassins snuck into his bedroom while he was sleeping and he killed them all while his dick was hanging out, then called an emergency meeting of all the council members and asked who did it and when one of them confessed, he kicked him so hard his hoof pulverized his spine against the wall. .
If there's anything you wanted to know about the Halo universe, just read the books, they're really ******* good. In fact, Fall of Reach is my favorite book ever and the only one I've read more than three times. The animated mini-series gets a good amount of it correct, but it leaves a lot out, like my favorite scene in any book ever where Halsey and other military leaders wanted a demonstration of the Spartans' abilities, so they put them in a small empty storage room that opens into a large sort of hangar and told them that somewhere in there was a flag they had to grab. They didn't tell them that there are a dozen Marines, a few of which are in large mech suits with big guns (with rubber bullets, of course) all guarding the flag. The moment after they opened the door to the room and told them to begin, all the lights cut out and when they turned the infrared cameras on, they saw the Spartans doing Spiderman levels of **** with some rope off the ceiling. They managed to incapacitate all the Marines and grab the flag without a single shot being fired. Halsey and the others didn't have any idea where they got the rope now how they cut the lights.
I doubt it. You can shoot one in the head, but their skull wouldn't even crack since a Spartan's bones are reinforced with like titanium or some **** . Like Wolverine, but less invincible. As they said in the books, a Spartan II can fall 100 meters and not even break a bone.
I really don't get why people get so upset when it's Quiet who's sexy when in literally every other Metal Gear Solid game it was a bunch of half naked men who wore skin tight catsuits, dood. Every other game had the super skin tight suits, almost fetishistic half naked torture scenes, half naked Romanian vampires, half naked fist fights, there was a bishie, Russian ******* major who was such a huge fag that he routinely went around groping all his soldiers, then you had to strip him naked to even continue the game, and sometimes they even have characters who cartwheel around completely naked with nothing but their hands to cover their balls, but a female character has her tits out and everyone loses their **** . She was clearly a character designed to be sexy and they put a reason on top of it, but she honestly shouldn't need one since there has always been needlessly sexy characters running around without anyone caring.
It's not because she's sexy, it's because Kojima expressly made an excuse for it. Nobody gave a **** when Mistral was overtly sexualized. It's not a double standard, it's pointing out people making stupid excuses for **** they don't need to make excuses for in order to seem more avant-garde.
This. For me, I think it's ridiculous that he made such an over the top sexy character and even went so far as to tell us we'd be "ashamed" for doubting her design, and that she would be a "revolution of female characters in games." That's a paraphrase, I'm too lazy to look up the exact quote.
Then the game comes out, and it's revealed that the entire "reason" that was supposed to shake up the game industry was a half-baked nonsensical "breathes through her skin" device, and Kojima proves himself to have been talking out his ass.
He should have just left the controversy be and let Quiet be a sexy character for the sake of sexy characters. As newprinny said, that has always been the case without anyone caring, and no one would have cared this time either if not for the big kerfuffle made about the reason for it.
It's called artistic freedom. It's your game, it's your character: you can make it look however you want it to look. If people don't like that, so be it. Either deal with it or go make your own games. But don't force developers to change it just because you don't like it.
Why is sexualization of characters only a problem if they are female? Males in games are always ripped and are shown topless for a reason or another, but no one ever makes a big deal out of that.
I, for one, welcome some tits and ass in a game, as long as it is not the main focus. Does it have to have a reason? Of course not. Valkryia Chronicles had an in-game event which cost 50 000 of that game's currency just to see some characters in old-fashioned bathing suits, and you bet I paid for that event.
Most of the time the male characters aren't even sexualized though. Like...they aren't made to be sexy and appealing, they are just big, tough, and shirtless. Pay attention to how camera shots and poses are treated with female characters. You rarely see males in "sexy" poses even if they are "sexualized" according to what you say.
I'm not particularly against sexualization of game characters, but I don't like how unequal things are treated.
I actually think MGS is the only mainstream game I can think of that actually sexualizes males, which is a good counterpoint to how most of the characters you play as are sterile and seem to be pretty oblivious
well thats the difference though isnt it? im no expert on what woman want, which no sane man will claim, but id guess they want men being masculine. lifting things, pushing things, ripping gorgons in half things
Well, using League of Legends as a reference, Twisted Fate is probably the character who is closest to doing it for me on the male side. Why? Because he is suave, charming, attractive. He's not muscular, but he's tall, slim, and toned which is generally more attractive. He has that whole mysterious side and you know he's the type of flirty lady's man who knows how to treat a girl right.
Still, he's not really made to be sexy and it's sad then that he's more of a character whom I would consider sexy.
Then why don't more women go to video game careers and design women???? Their fault for not going for that career instead of whining. Want change??? BE THE CHANGE!!!!
it sounds like your looking for a character you would want to date as opposed to a character you want to have sex with. which is the different tastes. i agree with you twisted fate is an awesome character one of the ones that caught my eye right off the back. sadly i suck with him
But like, there is a reason Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey were so popular. It's not buff macho guys who are attractive, it's the toned, tall and handsome ones with very alpha male personalities that have a touch of a soft size. As a whole, guys are more visual than girls so they have a tendency to expect us to be looking at attractiveness to the same degree, and they overestimate how attractive muscles are.
To be honest, I'm not always sure what I'm looking for, but when a character or someone in real life is attractive, you just know it. And so much of it is driven off his personality and saying the right lines. XD
thats kind of what i was getting at. you seemed to pick things from his dimeanor. many of which can be picked from the look of the character.
to a similar degree though guys dont always flock to sexy either. ill use mass effect. miranda who is easily the most sexualy designed character is usually not argued over as much. its usually tali or liara.
which kind of brings me to the point of the sexy characters in general. most of us just kind of ignore it. sure quiet has big boobs and little on but im enjoying her for the character more than anything.
To be honest, I don't mind quiet being in a bikini, more than I just mind the fact that people try to defend her for plot reasons. Like, I get it Kojima wanted a sexy lady in his game and created a pseudo justification for her being nearly nude. It's hot, yeah, but at least admit that it was done for just fan-service. -.-
But yeah, what makes a character sexy is less how he looks and more of his personality. Now...when a character like that goes shirtless or has a shower scene. *blushes* But a lot too is just where the camera tends to focus. Pay attention to the camera angles on quiet vs some of the other male characters when they are shirtless and stuff. There is significantly more sexy camera-work for her than for the guys.
From what I understand the reason the sorceress has those tits is because she's a necromancer and it's supposed to be symbolism for "giving life" because breasts make milk for children and give life to them, so Vanillaware makes all necromancers in there games basically girls with huge tits Yeah it's a half assed reason but at least it's a consistent one
usually anywhere between 3 and 8 piles per dungeon. They're supposed to be the bones of fallen adventurers that you can collect and resurrect to be on your team as cpus, but the sorceress can just say **** that and activate her spooper pooper to make them fight with you for the remainder of the level how did I accidentally reply to myself
If Cortana was based off of Halsey in college, and AIs can choose their own form, does that mean Halsey was a slut in college? Why else would Cortana choose to be naked?
ANd if that's not the case, why would Halsey design an AI of herself as naked? Does she enjoy it?
