OT:I don't mind her sexuality but the justification they made for it is one of the dumbest excuses for fan service I have ever heard

You are missing out on an incredible game because of an optional character. Just get it and don't recruit her.

When I do get it, I fully intend to use Quiet, if only because I like the idea of finally having sniper support in a game. I said it was one of the reasons I don't get it, the others including such things as spending most my time taking care of a one year old and most of my free cash going towards getting a ton of Magic: The Gathering cards later this week when Battle for Zendikar is released.

I mean, I'm a 28 year old woman and I've been gaming for over two decades. I've poured more money into my gaming hobby than most of my male friends and I still have to accept the choice between looking at needlessly gratuitous fanservice or severely limiting my own playing of the game to avoid it. It would be one thing if MGS V was some niche (sex) game, but this is one of the biggest releases this year and indisputably the biggest stealth game of the year. It is at times like these that I don't really feel all that included in one of my biggest hobbies.

First time I've seen clips of her and I can't help feel anything but happy.

Poor ol' Jim really needs to get laid.

Dude's married y'know?

Granted, that's not exactly a guarantee, but your point still sucks.

One aspect that I hate about the gaming community is the knee-jerk reaction to put an opinion into a extreme category. In the case of disliking Quiet's fan service treatment, you are automatically a WHITE KNIGHT ANITA SARKESIAN WORSHIPING VIRGIN GAY FEMINAZI WHO WANTS TO SENSOR VIDEO GAMES! From the little I played from The Phantom Pain (I just haven't had time to play it even though I got it on release) I enjoyed it but was taken aback at how flimsy Kojima's pretext for her sexualization was.

Comparing her to Eva is silly because Eva's sexualization was integral to her development. She was a well written femme fatale who used whatever was needed to get what she wanted. In MGS4, the Beauties were nearly non-existent for the majority of the story and I personally enjoyed how their sexualization juxtaposed their horrifying backstories.

In short, you are allowed to dislike an aspect of a game and still enjoy the game as a whole.

You know there's a lot of men who primarily use the head atop their shoulders rather than the head in their groin to think. I'm sure that some of those men like Quiet's design and some don't like her design.

The comment was light hearted and a bit of jest, I don't really care either way tbh, and i don't see how anyone really gives that much of a toss about the whole thing either way, but each to their own.

Jim's no doubtedly just doing his job and over dramatising a point to keep things interesting which is fair play, that's what he gets paid for.

Lol. I'm getting the distinct impression this exchange is not worth continuing lol

loL.
