Damn, Kleenex, did you just read the first paragraph and blank out the rest? You can't spend a few extra minutes trying to understand something so you just write it off as dumb? These characters aren't supposed to represent people, more like ideals and concepts, given life. You seemed to have completely glazed over everything for that reply, unable to accept that someone has seen worth in the series that you haven't.
I feel sorry for you. It's obvious why you can't enjoy this series. Your head is so far up your own ass you refuse to enjoy anything that requires you to think for longer than the first paragraph. I hope you reconsider it, maybe you should try MGS1 again, maybe something will click this time? Probably not, because you're too oriented to hate the series you wouldn't give it a fair shake.
Sorry, but I had to get defensive, you were acting kinda like a dick would. I know you're not that bad of a person. :) | | Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain trailer

Actually, I love the series for it's themes of war. Anybody playing can quickly figure out it's not a super serious SEALs thriller, but you pick up these ideas about the characters from their actions and design. They're super heroes in military garb, they don't require "Tacticool" weapons and gritty "Fucking shit" conversations about some guy they have to capture or whatever. They're soldiers, and glorified through our own ideas of what makes a good soldier.
It's all a great setup for some ideas that Kojima has kind of came up with from observation. Metal Gear Solid was about the possibility of nuclear mass production, and a weapons platform with the ability to bring a nuke to anywhere in the world, which isn't really all that far of a stretch with ICBMs and things like that. It kept it's feet on the ground with the normality of what stealth and war games were like back then, but with the incredulous bosses and making the weapons platform a massive Mech keeps it in fantasy and video game. 2 expounded upon this idea, making some of the "villains" into unkillable beings full of despair with a strangehold on the president on a makeshift island. He also introduced a big part of his conspiracy theory ideas with the La-le-lu-le-lo (A group that runs everything in the government, and is on their way to world domination.) and even that is blown out of proportion and ridiculous. He talks about SOPA and ACTA style legislation in 2001... Think about that. It was 2009 before anyone had really considered constriction of information as a tool of control. He really called it WAY ahead of the curve.
He also has a very uncanny ability to make his games take place in specific times, with specific tools and has a knack for details and an eye for lore that would be overlooked by many developers. I HIGHLY suggest this series, and I'm so fucking excited to see this one actually coming along.

Me and a Friend were figuring out how to make Zelda a main character and still remain in plot or atleast in the same idea. We decided it would be neat to have the game start out like every Zelda game. Link is driven into the wide world at the start of the game by forces bigger than himself, so big in fact that he must travel to another continent. Well, while he's away, Gannon makes a power play for the triforce, or crown or whatever. Knowing Link is away on a mission of importance, Zelda gets strapped to defend her own people. The game could switch between the characters on opposite sides of the globe, maybe on the fly, and most assuredly their worlds would interact, requiring them to send items or information to one another to find a way to defeat Gannon from two different places in the world
This took 5 minutes, and sounds like an awesome game. | | The trailer for the upcoming Deadpool game.

I was thinking the same thing. I loved his original run, he was cool, calm, collected, but alittle chatty, and liked to throw out quips. Whenever he would get on a roll, it was fun. Then someone told marvel, now they think that's what we liked from the character, not that he was a professional-esque assassin with Wolverine's healing factor and some quick wit.
I guess this is what they think wit is. | | Tropes vs Women in Video Games, Episode 1: Damsel in Distress

Did her dad want to fuck her? No, So we thought it was alittle more noble, I hated that movie anyway, it was fucking retarded dad "don't touch my daughter" fantasies that people over 30 get.
Your defense is "Video Games shouldn't attempt to change themselves to welcome in new gamers because.... WE LIKE IT ORIENTED TOWARD MEN LIKE ME, AND ONLY ME." Which is not a good defense.
Don't worry, there will always be a market for your bouncing boob simulators and jRPGs with little girls in tight clothes. You'll always be there, and people like you will always be there.
Sorry dude, not to put you in a box, but you're really coming off like one of these guys who bitch about women finally standing up for themselves and saying "Well, maybe I don't want to be these characters you've presented for me to be."
Flip it around, man. Imagine you're in a world where the ONLY male characters are constantly running around in tiny armors that accentuate his sexual aspects (his dick and balls), and by running around, I mean standing around, because they're considered too... "whatever" to participate except when they get kidnapped. What would you do? Want to play video games? Want to make your stake in a world filled with THAT shit going on? You wouldn't like it, would you?
You've never experienced that, and neither have I unless I attempted to subject myself to it, which has very few avenues open. You're just mad because people want to change something so they don't feel like they're on the outside of it looking in when they attempt to join in. | | The trailer for the upcoming Deadpool game.

Alright, I'll give you that, very unimaginative. But I want you to consider JUST what he did to Dinosaur Planet. Now, I know she's only telling us half the story, and the other main character RARE had planned for the game was a male of the same species as Crystal. Not making it the unabashed female empowerment tool that she is making it out to be, But when Miyamoto came in and suggested "This should be the next Star Fox game." and then made it so, it makes me think that the dude is just stealing a game out from under someone else, which makes him an asshole first and foremost.
Regarding sexism? I only called him "A bit of a sexist." in the way that he operated. He took something of merit in writing with a female protagonist and tore it apart to suit his ambitions, removing her as a main character and making her a romance/sex object. Turning her just into a plot device for the male lead to love/fight for. Even giving her weapon to him to use, because he'll use it better because he's a man, amirite?
