@my pp small , i was cucked and are you familiar with the whole MGS series? MGS3 literally had a spy who zipped up half of her jumpsuit and the other half just has her bra.
God damnit. Fraser REALLY needs to play through the mgs series. So then he could have a clue to what the hell is going on and some context for the game. It's so irritating hearing him talk about something he knows nothing about. About the whole kojima being a hack thing, I don't really mind that Fraser has that opinion of him. Kojima as a creator is pretty polarized. I understand his opinion, I just don't agree with it.
Kojima's a hack? He should know his limits? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah the representation of men being murderers and torturing people is fine, but an under-dressed woman is controversial? You see Quiet earlier in the trailer being tortured whilst clothed so it's very apparent that she has been De-humanised and humiliated during torture. Please at least play Snake Eater before calling Kojima a "hack".
One of the things that people don't seem to realize is that the silly or sexual moments are there to relieve tension when things get a bit too harsh. He's actually stated this before in interviews. The moments are supposed to pull you out a bit before you get too stressed by the darker themes.
People could say they have sexualised men before in the games, too. If people are going to comment on the women, why does no one comment on that? Hideo Kojima said that Raiden was made to look the way he did because of fangirls. He recieved a letter from a girl that said she didn't like playing as an old man so he created something more appealing to females. No one talks about naked Raiden, no one talks about Snake having his shirt off. This game is trying to stir controversy. That's why the violence and gore is a lot more intense, that's why it's a lot more brutal. One might even describe it as "pointless". But that's the very point.
David Jolley And that's the thing, I'm not trying to downplay female issues. I am a female. It would be dumb to deny that females get sexualised, but since stereotypes that hurt women also hurt men, I think it's important to mention both female and male sexualisation.
+GeminiGabRiElleSG thank you for saying it and ps these peaple are fucking stupid but hey that's why this video got a lot of dislikes at this point i think peaple got enough common sense to know thats not what konami where going for but you know shit maybe they where maybe they where't i just know that this game is awesome and i had a blast playing it and hey quiet wasen't a bad character infact i thought she was a really cool female..... that being sed there are some moments like that shower scene that kinda made me feel a little uncomfortable. it would't be bad if peaple where't watching and i would't fuss over it but you know it's a great game.
Connor Gilkinson I already know that, however, my point was that I think to fully portray how complicated these issues are, we should talk about exactly how it effects both genders since it seems that's what a lot of people don't understand about this issue.
Yea Fraser your being WAY to harsh and unfair to a series you know nothing about. This is supposed to be the dark chapter for Big Boss. Even if your right regarding Quiet's character design in that it may be inappropriate. We still don't know this character or her motives. In addition violence and sexy females have always been a metal gear solid staple. So instead of shaking your head and drunkenly flailing spouting nonsense. Maybe you should try to catch up with the series and join us in our excitement. Konami put out a big metal gear collection recently if I recall.
"In addition violence and sexy females have always been a metal gear solid staple." A fact that I address within that rant and yet, you act as though I didn't take it into consideration.
***** You should wait and see how they handle those "sexy females" first , if they do it the same way they've done in past games , it'll be fine... I think... Love you frash Frash.
People seem to forget that the male character are every bit as sexualized as the female characters. Yes, kojima throws in fan service-ish moments with the female characters. But the ENTIRE series is a fanservice extravaganza. You have shirtless men everywhere, crouch grabbing, and Raiden ( who was made to appeal to women believe it or not)and etc. But you're also forgetting, The Boss, (a female)one of the most well respected, unsexualized, and strong characters in the entire series. Of course you didn't play that game thus the prejudice. Even as a fan I can understand people's problem with kojima sometimes. He's not the perfect artist by any means but he does have talent and I think he, like anyone, deserves the benefit of the doubt regardless of past actions. lastly, I don't know much but I think kojima mentioned that he said what he did about quiet to prove a point. He also mentioned that Quiet was made as a ANTITHESIS to over sexualized women or the sexist momement. Whatever that means........
I don't get why people are upset over a thong when you had to play as a Naked Raiden in MGS2...people didn't seem pissed then, but you add a bra and thong to a military outfit and people get disgusted...i truly don't get it...
***** Oh no. i know you hate raiden (at least in mgs2, Rising is a different story...i think?) I'm just saying nobody complained when a man was naked in a video game, but a bikini top and a thong make people uncomfortable. I just think it's odd thats all...
My theory is that Quiet's skin is optic-camo, so she has to have it exposed so it can change colors. If you watch the first trailer you can see this happening on her face. At first I thought it was bad shadows on her face but after watching it over a few times I realized she had black face-paint that literally faded off as the camera panned up to her eye level. Maybe I am wrong, but watch that part and see what you think. Having her skin be like the octo-camo from MGS4 would fit in with the strange powers of MGS characters in the past and justify why she goes around naked in the desert. I hope her skin just keeps out UV rays too.
The Boss character from MGS3 was cool female character and not at all about objectiving. So hideo can do it. Just hold judgement until you played the game.
I come back to this every once in a while to remind myself that no matter how crappy my videogame takes are, there will ALWAYS be worse ones out there. This comment section is a joy. Love you guys.
I think Hideo mentioned she has a story reason to be dressed like that. He also mentions that he also wants to see girls cosplaying as that as well though. Of course, why not both?
Hideo has publicly admitted that she dresses like that so that the figure would sell better and to encourage more scantily clad cosplays. Any story based reason is retcon.
***** I can see your point, but that doesn't seem too different from fanservice in a lot of other video games. Plus, the way he worded his tweet saying people will feel ashamed by their words and "deeds" after finding out about the character's secret reason for dressing like that has me curious. This is just my guess, but I think the reaction to Quiet's outfit is based on one's reaction to the trailer's themes. To me, the torture and child soldier theme it had going on wasn't very impactful, so that little bit of fanservice didn't feel all that jarring. But a person who is fully ready to be immersed in a dark story about war and child soldiers may find your typical video game fanservice to be jarring. Not saying your opinion is "wrong" mind you. You can be totally on the mark for all I know. But I feel one's opinion on whether Quiet's design crosses the line or not depends on whether you can take the trailer's theme seriously. You took torture and other controversial themes more seriously than I did.
IHate4Kids I think the difference is whether previous games' fanservice was as jarring. I'm not able to take this trailer's themes as seriously, hence I didn't find the fanservice as big a problem. Someone from Kotaku actually took Dragon's Crown story seriously, and they were put off by the fanservice as a result. I'm guessing here that Fraser took torture and child soldier as themes more seriously than we did.
G1ingy I feel the theme of rape and child soldiers is jarring to me because I have experienced it so seldom in fiction, and I am afraid that one of my only experiences with it will be from the man who brought me VR mission upskirt minigames.
G1ingy The other things that has indicated to me that Kojima is taking himself and the current themes in MGSV very seriously is his interviews about legitimizing videogames as a medium by exploring more more mature topics.
You could say the same thing about Lara in Tomb Raider. There were a load of moments in which the camera would zoom in slightly while she was crouched, or the camera would angle under her when she would be hanging by a ledge. Yet she still turned out to be a fleshed out character, well written character. This could be the same thing with Quiet.
I personally don't mind Fraser's opinion on Quiet (the almost naked girl). It's the "proof that Kojima might be a hack" comment that I think is silly. So because there's one character in the game that you don't like, that ruins the game/Kojima's reputation? Don't you think that's a little rash? Can't a game have a few elements you don't like but still be great? Forgive me if I'm putting words in your mouth Frasher, I'm just saying what it seems like you're implying. Just wait till game comes and you play the entire game yourself before you make such assumptions. Maybe Quiet will be a very well written character and fleshed out character. She might end up being so awesome that you forget about what she's wearing. That's all I'm asking and I think at the end of the day, that what all us fans want you to do. I'm not a fanboy blindly defending Kojima (I'm not even that big of a MGS fan), I just want you to understand my view on this. BTW, I didn't give this video a dislike :)
Fraser, what is your definition of a feminist? To me a feminist is someone who believes in that a woman should have the same rights as men do and that they fight for such a cause. Do you mean you are far from the crazy extremist feminist people and groups?
Has anyone seen this video of Kojima explaining this character? It seems that he has a reason for having the character looks the way she does. Metal Gear Solid 5: Kojima on Designing Female Sniper "Quiet"
A thong? No way an article of clothing? You sound like a bunch of sheltered children for christ's sake. You don't know the character's back story so who are you to judge based on looks? Isn't judging based on looks something you abhor? Stop being so hypocritical, it's like you just learned who Kojima was last year.
Fraser why, why did you have to call Hideo Kojima a hack? Haven't been getting your fill of dislikes for breakfast huh lol But seriously, I gotta say that wasn't a very astute observation. If anything this generation will show off his talents not diminish them. And for you to say that off the basis of what amounts to a demo of, what has to be knowing MSG, a 30 plus hour campaign and one scantily clad woman is just jumping to conclusions way too fast. You said it yourself, Kojima is known for b movie tropes and style, and yet you bash him when he adheres to his own style. The style that made MSG in the first place. SMH man.
Just play metal gear solid on the show so you can understand what the fuck is going on so you can stop saying shit about Kojima. Fraser- "an asshole who is a shitty game designer and is on the course of loosing his touch because he loves to see naked women shake dat ass" That is all I herd from you the entire segment. If only you new about sexy women roles in metal gear. You got Naomi, EVA, Sniper Wolf, The Boss, Meryl, pretty much the entirety of the B/B Corps. They are all important characters, remember? OH WAIT, YOU DONT!
I take it these guys have never invested some proper time into playing a Metal Gear game. MGS has to be one of the deepest most thought provoking franchise out there. If they do not see the amount of work that goes into one of these games then they aren't a true gamer. MGS never fails when it comes to graphics, gameplay and story telling and The Phantom Pain is no exception. The reason for the dark tone is because we see the demise of Big Boss or as Harvey Dent from Batman puts it ' You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' MGS has a very deep plot to it. So deep it requires you to do further research by yourself (well at least i had to) so of course its going to be overwhelming and Fraser isn't gong to understand the darker theme to this game. What I respect Kojima for is that he's willing to take risks and try something different in each game. And other gaming companies get criticised for using the same formula again and again. I guess you can't please everyone. Just give it the time it deserves and you will appreciate it for the gem it truly is in the Gaming genre.
...You think he's a hack? And that he's reached his limits? Sure Quiet is very out of place, thats a more than valid argument - but that isn't a very logical connection at all.
man, i must be sick or something because i love what Kojima does. i love the stories and the sick and twisted torture scenes. at the end of GZ, i didn't feel sick or disgusted. its those scenes that make me feel emotion and i almost cried. i think the more realistic things get and the more disgusting themes we see. the closer i get to feeling something. or maybe its because i'm a massive MGS fanboy. i don't know about sexism, i'm the lucky gender i guess? i think people make a big deal out of it, turn it into something it doesn't need to be. especially with ubisoft and AC unity recently. why attack ubisoft? go after rockstar, activision, rocksteady, capcom and literally every other publisher and developer. directors shouldn't be scared to tell the story they want to tell. so let them tell it.
you guys really think hideo is sloppy and not as talented as he thinks and we think he is? how pathetic are you name someone else who has managed to keep a game series going for nearly 30 years hideo is one of the best game makers in history he knows what people want in a game a good story and characters he takes time with the development making sure it's perfect and to be honest you guys sound like you hate metal gear all together
You know, I don't mind when people don't like something that I do, I believe that we all have or own opinion and are entitled to it but I think where the problem is here is the way you come of sounding....you know how beloved this franchise is and how butt hurt some people can get, and you come of in a silly, challenging and almost child like way when trying to prove a point about a franchise you have said your self "don't know much about" for example, the same thing happen with the smash bros episode, and I think the twist of the knife for most people is how you encourage and sometimes provoke the hate just to revel in it which is just silly.... oh Frasersan
Disappointing to hear Fraser say something like "You know I'm the furthest from a fucking feminist" but outside of that sentence there's not much I disagree with in his points.
***** Fair enough, I never thought you were a misogynist or anything, just thought that comment was a little misjudged personally. Thanks for the clarification.
This game i believe is gonna prove a certain mind-set of a broken soldier...why we love and hate Big Boss...and what he will do to honor his fallen soldiers his way and that is what will be emotionally shocking to us is what will be Big Boss' choices through this game. Ps: Hideo Kojima has no limits...there is no such thing as limits when it comes to the MGS series
8:31 - 8:46 Gonna bet big money that you're gonna be eating those words. I'm not even the biggest Hideo Kojima fan either. I think he can get way too long winded with his story telling. Lots of history lessons about nuclear weapons, the black market arms industry, genetic engineering, etc. that ends up slowing the main story down. There's a lot that could afford to be chopped, but the problem I have is ppl not giving credit where credit is due. He HAS made some great games and I feel it's just become trendy and popular to shit on him.
Fraser you addressed the anger people had over the sexual assault Lara Croft was going to experience in the latest game saying that every other medium addresses such issues and for video games to be taken seriously they need to address these same issues or they will forever be seen as childish instead of an art form. I think that is exactly the same thing Kojima is trying to do with this game with the use of brutal scenes that will make your gut wrench in disgust because of how real it looks and makes you feel. Sure it's awful especially that it's being done to children but I remember being angry for a month at a TV show for shooting a child, It may sound silly but I was just astounded they could do something like that on TV. People discuss how jaded society is to violence nowadays and some people blame video games for that, I do not think that is true and the fact that there are developers out there trying to make you feel rather than just skip over the repercussions of violence shows that that assertion is untrue. I feel rather silly addressing something you said earlier than the big rant you had at the end but about that I can see where you and many other people are coming from about it. She seems very sexual but I am playing the wait and see game until I harshly criticize. Kojima loves his metaphors so he might be using this character as one. If you read this Frash Frash, I do not want you to think I am attacking you or something because I know how easy that is to come off on the internet. I only wrote this to talk about some very interesting things happening in games in recent times. Much respect to you Fraser.
Why every reaction video from 2014/2015 about MGSV already has people that knows what the fuck is going on? Like I didn't know those were ashes until I played the damn game and I was fucking blown when I found out that kid was Liquid Snake, I mean I suspected, but I didn't think it was
Fraser I'm curious but have played all 4 MGS games? This is not the first sexy female character in war time. There is Eva for example from MGS3. There are quite a number of them and even half naked men. I guess it would be jarring to someone who has not seen the entire series and hasn't gotten use to it.
TheSilverazo Well I just wanted to know where he is coming from since he is getting pretty worked up about this one in particular when it's not the first instance.
I played MGS 1 for 80 hours+ one highschool summer. I loved it. Sniper Wolf was one of my favourite characters and still is. This rant is about the established mood and my subjective assessment of the mood/context. At no point in MGS 1 did I feel that I was playing a serious war drama; It felt too intentionally melodramatic for that. But everything I have seen and felt from the MGS V imagery makes me feel very contemplative and solemn about the violence and setting. That is what is creating the whiplash I feel with thong-zoom shots.
earlier in the trailer is show quiet being drowned and tortured by someone but she's wearing regular clothing, I wonder why she decided to get all skimpy. Probably something happens in the story that explains it, but it's still pretty stupid. BTW the footage of quiet being tortured in regular clothing is at 5:01
Eaglesolidus I know this is a year old post but Quiet wears less clothes to use her ability which can be seen in the Quiet trailer for Mgs V: TPP. The torture you see in this is trailer is the torturer making her wear clothes so she can't escape.
Eaglesolidus Yeah Kojima said that himself. link to confirmation:www.dualshockers.com/2013/09/07/hideo-kiojima-explains-quiet-blames-negative-reaction-on-cultural-differences-details-metal-gear-solid-vs-themes/
sigh i'm too tired and drunk to form a strong opinion, but damn it doesn't make me feel all that enamored with the show when you talk about t&a/sexism/feminism ..and i love the show :/
Sober up and then think about my actions and words over the course of the time you have known me on this show and decide where you think I stand in regard to those subjects.
you have all these things to say about Kojima and metal gear solid, and thats fine everyone has the right to there own opinion. but what i think the problem is, is you need to know the full story behind the games and Kojima himself. all im saying is, learn more about the man and the game he made over 26 years ago. it might not change your mind, but maybe you will understand why Kojima and Metal Gear are so defended and loved.
***** ok how about this. if you don't want to learn anything about the game then stop fucking talking about the game, if you hate it / don't care about it. it will save you some time, just skip the trailer or whatever then you wont have to fight with the fans of the game.
***** to be fair, you don't need to like Kojima or Metal Gear. people can like and dislike whatever they want. I am still a fan of Metal Gear and a fan of you and the show. so let's just say we agree to disagree.
I can't go in for those kind of grim, depressing stories where everything is hopeless and everyone is dying. I don't have the emotional stamina to stick with it. I need my fiction to be lighter than that. Not kid-friendly light, just lighter than...this.
Wait when was Kojima been shameless? B-movie? Over the top melodrama? Really play sometimes previous game sand then talk about game that you haven't even played.All the main line games never been over the top or melodramatic. In GZ Kaz emotions in helicopter war 100% appropriate. Just because there is emotions doesn't mean that it's melodramatic.He lost everything they had,Mother base was destroyed. You gonna say dude whos in game industry since mid 80s that he has reached his limit based on that you personally have lost interest in his games?You have no rights to say that.
The Quiet clothes hype is same as when Solid Snake suddenly became old on MGS4 trailer,, So when MGSV:PP released, everything will clear up.. So calm down
The whole thong thing blows my mind. It's Metal Gear Solid, nothing in MGS should ever be taken seriously, have you seen the gameplay, a cardboard box literally comes out of the sky and covers Big Boss and then leaves like its planet needed it, so why take a thong as combat gear any more seriously. It's not even the worst I've seen, I've seen, literally, just a bikini as battle gear, no shoes, just straight up bikini.
Why get mad over the look of a video game character its not like they are real its a video game a dam good one too I bet that this game will be game of the year.
wow i just really noticed the cloths the fighter girl was wearing truthfully didn't even take it in, its like there but she's kicking A that it just didn't distract me That trailer is beast
If that girl in the video replaced Quiet and was in the metal gear universe, she'd be called the blade, she wouldnt use a sword, would not need one with that chin. She could slice metal gears in half with that thing.
I remember when you guys used to pretend you were all from the 90's and played old video games. Stopped watching you a few years back and when I finally see you again you're ranting about sexism while obviously trying to pander to SJWs. Kinda depressing really
man that's alot of comments on this subject what i like on the MGS verse is its ignoring of their outfits, cause the characters who do have actual character not just looks no complaint to anyone's comment just wanted to say that
I can't say anything about "current" Hideo Kojima, honestly but I freaking love the original MGS on the PS1 as well as Snake Eater, which is amongst the Top-5 of my favorite games of all time. MGS 2 was meh in retrospective and while MGS 4 was awesome, it could have been even awesomer, if the cutscenes (especially the briefings) weren't so damn long. I never could get into Peace Walker, nor Ground Zeroes, to be honest. Still, I'm gonna give Phantom Pain a try, the trailer was awesome (god, I love that song). By the way, I don't think MGS was all melodrama. I won't deny that there is some, but there are also a lot of legitimately sad scenes and situations. Snake Eater in particular had some extremely powerful and moving scenes and the ending actually made me cry.
"Kept you waiting huh?" The fact that you can't understand why Konami did what they did just shows how out of touch you are with the gaming community. It also seems like you have something against Kojima and or don't understand his themes/style, possibly both. Your loss though. Keep tossing your misinformed opinions out there. Hopefully you'll catch a viewer or two. If you try really hard you might even land a sub.
As everyone is fond to point out (Including Fraser). Metal Gear Solid has always been a mix of melodrama/sex appeal/camp and Dark/Violent. I think for Kojima those things are on the same dial. When he turns the dark and gritty up he also turns the campy sex appeal up. Which is why you go from Sniper Wolf from the first game in an open jacket with no bra on in a snowy environment to Quiet in a bra and thong in the desert. Quiet isn't the first character to be made to appeal to a certain audience. Raiden was created cause Japanese women couldn't find Solid Snake attractive. That's one of the reasons at least.
Should have watched the full trailer more stuff happens after the title with speech from Big Boss and Kaz... and you see other stuff including a METAL GEAR!
"I hate torture"
That's a real hot take, if I've ever seen one.
I’m just glad someone finally had the courage to say it
Brings a tear to my eye, I never thought about like that 😔
A mature game is not for the immature..

You should probably play the series before you criticize it.
Happy to report that despite what Frash thought , Kojima released yet another critically acclaimed game

"Kojima is a hack." Well you can't expect someone walking in looking for something negative to have a well informed opinion on Kojima.
how did he look for it it is right in his face literally and figuratively
Kojima's a hack?
He should know his limits?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does he realize there is torture in every Metal Gear game?
Yeah the representation of men being murderers and torturing people is fine, but an under-dressed woman is controversial? You see Quiet earlier in the trailer being tortured whilst clothed so it's very apparent that she has been De-humanised and humiliated during torture.

This game is trying to stir controversy. That's why the violence and gore is a lot more intense, that's why it's a lot more brutal. One might even describe it as "pointless". But that's the very point.

Let's not forget seeing snakes literal ass crack in the whole first section of the game
This is DSPGaming 2, how can you people not see it?...
I don't get why people are upset over a thong when you had to play as a Naked Raiden in MGS2...people didn't seem pissed then, but you add a bra and thong to a military outfit and people get disgusted...i truly don't get it...
You haven't heard how much I disliked MGS2?
***** Oh no. i know you hate raiden (at least in mgs2, Rising is a different story...i think?) I'm just saying nobody complained when a man was naked in a video game, but a bikini top and a thong make people uncomfortable. I just think it's odd thats all...
MGS2 is a nice game, clearly that it was not what I was expecting, but technically it is an achievement
“I don’t wanna see torture .. I hate torture “. Please give up your man card .. lol
My theory is that Quiet's skin is optic-camo, so she has to have it exposed so it can change colors. If you watch the first trailer you can see this happening on her face. At first I thought it was bad shadows on her face but after watching it over a few times I realized she had black face-paint that literally faded off as the camera panned up to her eye level. Maybe I am wrong, but watch that part and see what you think.
Having her skin be like the octo-camo from MGS4 would fit in with the strange powers of MGS characters in the past and justify why she goes around naked in the desert. I hope her skin just keeps out UV rays too.
@BEASTFRAG435 Haha, thanks for reminding me of my cool theory. I guess the real reason turned out to be pretty weird.
@@AlexanderArts photosynthesis, guess we did get a bit of camo
The Boss character from MGS3 was cool female character and not at all about objectiving. So hideo can do it. Just hold judgement until you played the game.
One of the best games ever made and he's losing his shit over a THONG.
Dude, get laid. Is Becky abstaining or something?
I come back to this every once in a while to remind myself that no matter how crappy my videogame takes are, there will ALWAYS be worse ones out there.
This comment section is a joy. Love you guys.
Fr lol
there's child soldiers, tortures, kid getting stabbed, and you guys complain about thong?!
The child soldier is liquid snake
I think Hideo mentioned she has a story reason to be dressed like that. He also mentions that he also wants to see girls cosplaying as that as well though. Of course, why not both?
Hideo has publicly admitted that she dresses like that so that the figure would sell better and to encourage more scantily clad cosplays. Any story based reason is retcon.
***** I can see your point, but that doesn't seem too different from fanservice in a lot of other video games. Plus, the way he worded his tweet saying people will feel ashamed by their words and "deeds" after finding out about the character's secret reason for dressing like that has me curious.
This is just my guess, but I think the reaction to Quiet's outfit is based on one's reaction to the trailer's themes. To me, the torture and child soldier theme it had going on wasn't very impactful, so that little bit of fanservice didn't feel all that jarring. But a person who is fully ready to be immersed in a dark story about war and child soldiers may find your typical video game fanservice to be jarring.
Not saying your opinion is "wrong" mind you. You can be totally on the mark for all I know. But I feel one's opinion on whether Quiet's design crosses the line or not depends on whether you can take the trailer's theme seriously. You took torture and other controversial themes more seriously than I did.
IHate4Kids I think the difference is whether previous games' fanservice was as jarring. I'm not able to take this trailer's themes as seriously, hence I didn't find the fanservice as big a problem. Someone from Kotaku actually took Dragon's Crown story seriously, and they were put off by the fanservice as a result. I'm guessing here that Fraser took torture and child soldier as themes more seriously than we did.
G1ingy I feel the theme of rape and child soldiers is jarring to me because I have experienced it so seldom in fiction, and I am afraid that one of my only experiences with it will be from the man who brought me VR mission upskirt minigames.
G1ingy The other things that has indicated to me that Kojima is taking himself and the current themes in MGSV very seriously is his interviews about legitimizing videogames as a medium by exploring more more mature topics.
>watches war game trailer
>"I don't want to see any more torture"
Have boobs in video game is suddenly a sin
You could say the same thing about Lara in Tomb Raider. There were a load of moments in which the camera would zoom in slightly while she was crouched, or the camera would angle under her when she would be hanging by a ledge. Yet she still turned out to be a fleshed out character, well written character. This could be the same thing with Quiet.
Don't mind this one having a darker tone. This is Big Boss's decent into madness. Also really like the song in the trailer.
It's a fucking video game.
I personally don't mind Fraser's opinion on Quiet (the almost naked girl). It's the "proof that Kojima might be a hack" comment that I think is silly. So because there's one character in the game that you don't like, that ruins the game/Kojima's reputation? Don't you think that's a little rash? Can't a game have a few elements you don't like but still be great? Forgive me if I'm putting words in your mouth Frasher, I'm just saying what it seems like you're implying. Just wait till game comes and you play the entire game yourself before you make such assumptions. Maybe Quiet will be a very well written character and fleshed out character. She might end up being so awesome that you forget about what she's wearing. That's all I'm asking and I think at the end of the day, that what all us fans want you to do. I'm not a fanboy blindly defending Kojima (I'm not even that big of a MGS fan), I just want you to understand my view on this.
BTW, I didn't give this video a dislike :)
the guy in the hat just kills the mood
Dude couldn’t pay attention to such a great trailer. Hat guy is torture to listen to
Fraser, what is your definition of a feminist? To me a feminist is someone who believes in that a woman should have the same rights as men do and that they fight for such a cause. Do you mean you are far from the crazy extremist feminist people and groups?
Play Mgs 3 pls
Has anyone seen this video of Kojima explaining this character? It seems that he has a reason for having the character looks the way she does.
Metal Gear Solid 5: Kojima on Designing Female Sniper "Quiet"
A thong? No way an article of clothing? You sound like a bunch of sheltered children for christ's sake. You don't know the character's back story so who are you to judge based on looks? Isn't judging based on looks something you abhor? Stop being so hypocritical, it's like you just learned who Kojima was last year.
Fraser why, why did you have to call Hideo Kojima a hack? Haven't been getting your fill of dislikes for breakfast huh lol But seriously, I gotta say that wasn't a very astute observation. If anything this generation will show off his talents not diminish them. And for you to say that off the basis of what amounts to a demo of, what has to be knowing MSG, a 30 plus hour campaign and one scantily clad woman is just jumping to conclusions way too fast. You said it yourself, Kojima is known for b movie tropes and style, and yet you bash him when he adheres to his own style. The style that made MSG in the first place. SMH man.
Do you know what hackneyed means? You seem to be making it out of be far more extreme a word than it is.
Just play metal gear solid on the show so you can understand what the fuck is going on so you can stop saying shit about Kojima.
Fraser- "an asshole who is a shitty game designer and is on the course of loosing his touch because he loves to see naked women shake dat ass"
That is all I herd from you the entire segment. If only you new about sexy women roles in metal gear. You got Naomi, EVA, Sniper Wolf, The Boss, Meryl, pretty much the entirety of the B/B Corps. They are all important characters, remember?
OH WAIT, YOU DONT!
I hate torture plays a game about war lol.
I take it these guys have never invested some proper time into playing a Metal Gear game. MGS has to be one of the deepest most thought provoking franchise out there. If they do not see the amount of work that goes into one of these games then they aren't a true gamer. MGS never fails when it comes to graphics, gameplay and story telling and The Phantom Pain is no exception. The reason for the dark tone is because we see the demise of Big Boss or as Harvey Dent from Batman puts it ' You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.'
MGS has a very deep plot to it. So deep it requires you to do further research by yourself (well at least i had to) so of course its going to be overwhelming and Fraser isn't gong to understand the darker theme to this game. What I respect Kojima for is that he's willing to take risks and try something different in each game. And other gaming companies get criticised for using the same formula again and again. I guess you can't please everyone.
Just give it the time it deserves and you will appreciate it for the gem it truly is in the Gaming genre.
...You think he's a hack? And that he's reached his limits?
Sure Quiet is very out of place, thats a more than valid argument - but that isn't a very logical connection at all.
That’s a sweet like/dislike ratio
Best E3 trailer of all time
I wanted to give a 2nd chance, but man I Can't stand this frasier guy.
These guys on this channel are such haters very pathetic of them to talk down on kojima like that smh
well Kojima is a smug douche so it is ok
"Who is Mike Oldfield"...You what m8?
man, i must be sick or something because i love what Kojima does. i love the stories and the sick and twisted torture scenes. at the end of GZ, i didn't feel sick or disgusted. its those scenes that make me feel emotion and i almost cried.
i think the more realistic things get and the more disgusting themes we see. the closer i get to feeling something. or maybe its because i'm a massive MGS fanboy.
i don't know about sexism, i'm the lucky gender i guess?
i think people make a big deal out of it, turn it into something it doesn't need to be. especially with ubisoft and AC unity recently. why attack ubisoft? go after rockstar, activision, rocksteady, capcom and literally every other publisher and developer.
directors shouldn't be scared to tell the story they want to tell. so let them tell it.
The way they treat this video is very disrespectful, especially the jerk in blue
you guys really think hideo is sloppy and not as talented as he thinks and we think he is? how pathetic are you name someone else who has managed to keep a game series going for nearly 30 years hideo is one of the best game makers in history he knows what people want in a game a good story and characters he takes time with the development making sure it's perfect and to be honest you guys sound like you hate metal gear all together
You know, I don't mind when people don't like something that I do, I believe that we all have or own opinion and are entitled to it but I think where the problem is here is the way you come of sounding....you know how beloved this franchise is and how butt hurt some people can get, and you come of in a silly, challenging and almost child like way when trying to prove a point about a franchise you have said your self "don't know much about" for example, the same thing happen with the smash bros episode, and I think the twist of the knife for most people is how you encourage and sometimes provoke the hate just to revel in it which is just silly.... oh Frasersan
He meet his limit, became sloppy a hack and lost his talent just because of that? fraser that's a little too much....
It's videos like this why I unsubscribed.
This is yet another instance of some gamers taking critique too personally.
can't wait for this
Disappointing to hear Fraser say something like "You know I'm the furthest from a fucking feminist" but outside of that sentence there's not much I disagree with in his points.
That was hyperbole. The furthest thing from a feminist would be pretty vile.
***** Fair enough, I never thought you were a misogynist or anything, just thought that comment was a little misjudged personally. Thanks for the clarification.
What with all the hate now im out of the loop?
Well, apparently the whole dressed down female character is going to be explained within the story of the game.
This game i believe is gonna prove a certain mind-set of a broken soldier...why we love and hate Big Boss...and what he will do to honor his fallen soldiers his way and that is what will be emotionally shocking to us is what will be Big Boss' choices through this game.
Ps: Hideo Kojima has no limits...there is no such thing as limits when it comes to the MGS series
8:31 - 8:46 Gonna bet big money that you're gonna be eating those words. I'm not even the biggest Hideo Kojima fan either. I think he can get way too long winded with his story telling. Lots of history lessons about nuclear weapons, the black market arms industry, genetic engineering, etc. that ends up slowing the main story down. There's a lot that could afford to be chopped, but the problem I have is ppl not giving credit where credit is due. He HAS made some great games and I feel it's just become trendy and popular to shit on him.
Fraser you addressed the anger people had over the sexual assault Lara Croft was going to experience in the latest game saying that every other medium addresses such issues and for video games to be taken seriously they need to address these same issues or they will forever be seen as childish instead of an art form. I think that is exactly the same thing Kojima is trying to do with this game with the use of brutal scenes that will make your gut wrench in disgust because of how real it looks and makes you feel. Sure it's awful especially that it's being done to children but I remember being angry for a month at a TV show for shooting a child, It may sound silly but I was just astounded they could do something like that on TV. People discuss how jaded society is to violence nowadays and some people blame video games for that, I do not think that is true and the fact that there are developers out there trying to make you feel rather than just skip over the repercussions of violence shows that that assertion is untrue.
I feel rather silly addressing something you said earlier than the big rant you had at the end but about that I can see where you and many other people are coming from about it. She seems very sexual but I am playing the wait and see game until I harshly criticize. Kojima loves his metaphors so he might be using this character as one.
If you read this Frash Frash, I do not want you to think I am attacking you or something because I know how easy that is to come off on the internet. I only wrote this to talk about some very interesting things happening in games in recent times. Much respect to you Fraser.
My point is that sensitive topics must be handled with delicate tact, and do not need to be exhaustive or explicit to have an effect on the audience.
Is the video locked in 240p for anyone else?
It's been 7 years and he sounds like a total tool
Nice to see just how far back sois have been around.
"Nuclear, by Mike Oldfield. Who's Mike Oldfield?"
And i'm out....
Why every reaction video from 2014/2015 about MGSV already has people that knows what the fuck is going on? Like I didn't know those were ashes until I played the damn game and I was fucking blown when I found out that kid was Liquid Snake, I mean I suspected, but I didn't think it was
The previous games are pretty detailed about who is who and what their background is. They're worth a play if you haven't.
@@casfaer7261 lmao I think I might have played them once or twice
About the ashes, i think it is because of the urn. Like, i had to throw some ashes, and the urn is
exactly like that
Fraser I'm curious but have played all 4 MGS games? This is not the first sexy female character in war time. There is Eva for example from MGS3. There are quite a number of them and even half naked men. I guess it would be jarring to someone who has not seen the entire series and hasn't gotten use to it.
Noooo! shh he has not played MGS 3 xD
TheSilverazo Well I just wanted to know where he is coming from since he is getting pretty worked up about this one in particular when it's not the first instance.
I played MGS 1 for 80 hours+ one highschool summer. I loved it. Sniper Wolf was one of my favourite characters and still is. This rant is about the established mood and my subjective assessment of the mood/context. At no point in MGS 1 did I feel that I was playing a serious war drama; It felt too intentionally melodramatic for that. But everything I have seen and felt from the MGS V imagery makes me feel very contemplative and solemn about the violence and setting. That is what is creating the whiplash I feel with thong-zoom shots.
***** MGS 1 does not take that long to play, even on your first play through watching all cutscenes. what were you doing?
TJayRZ maybe he has played it multiple times
earlier in the trailer is show quiet being drowned and tortured by someone but she's wearing regular clothing, I wonder why she decided to get all skimpy. Probably something happens in the story that explains it, but it's still pretty stupid.
BTW the footage of quiet being tortured in regular clothing is at 5:01
The torturer's made her wear only a thong, it's explained in the story so controversy over.
Kaminda Bleh I thought she was dressed that way because to use her powers she needs sunlight.
Eaglesolidus I know this is a year old post but Quiet wears less clothes to use her ability which can be seen in the Quiet trailer for Mgs V: TPP. The torture you see in this is trailer is the torturer making her wear clothes so she can't escape.
MrUndeadJesus
is it confirmed that her power is because of the clothing? I didn't hear of that.
Eaglesolidus Yeah Kojima said that himself.
link to confirmation:www.dualshockers.com/2013/09/07/hideo-kiojima-explains-quiet-blames-negative-reaction-on-cultural-differences-details-metal-gear-solid-vs-themes/
I am happy to see that the counter-points to my rant are, so far, well-mannered and reasonable. Keep it up dudes.
hey guys are having problems with the same time
+farfromsubtle why exactly to you hate kojama
do you have prof
fuck off
+Blok B you realize Kojima and Konami are different things right? Kojima WORKED for Konami
sigh i'm too tired and drunk to form a strong opinion, but damn it doesn't make me feel all that enamored with the show when you talk about t&a/sexism/feminism ..and i love the show :/
Sober up and then think about my actions and words over the course of the time you have known me on this show and decide where you think I stand in regard to those subjects.
The ashes on the face is a weird but old ritual, I think native americans or some other civilization used to do this before a battle.
you have all these things to say about Kojima and metal gear solid, and thats fine everyone has the right to there own opinion. but what i think the problem is, is you need to know the full story behind the games and Kojima himself. all im saying is, learn more about the man and the game he made over 26 years ago. it might not change your mind, but maybe you will understand why Kojima and Metal Gear are so defended and loved.
I don't need a person's life story to justify how uncomfortable I feel with the juxtaposition of torture and thong zooms in a trailer.
***** ok how about this. if you don't want to learn anything about the game then stop fucking talking about the game, if you hate it / don't care about it. it will save you some time, just skip the trailer or whatever then you wont have to fight with the fans of the game.
***** to be fair, you don't need to like Kojima or Metal Gear. people can like and dislike whatever they want. I am still a fan of Metal Gear and a fan of you and the show. so let's just say we agree to disagree.
I can't go in for those kind of grim, depressing stories where everything is hopeless and everyone is dying. I don't have the emotional stamina to stick with it. I need my fiction to be lighter than that. Not kid-friendly light, just lighter than...this.
Wait when was Kojima been shameless? B-movie? Over the top melodrama? Really play sometimes previous game sand then talk about game that you haven't even played.All the main line games never been over the top or melodramatic. In GZ Kaz emotions in helicopter war 100% appropriate. Just because there is emotions doesn't mean that it's melodramatic.He lost everything they had,Mother base was destroyed.
You gonna say dude whos in game industry since mid 80s that he has reached his limit based on that you personally have lost interest in his games?You have no rights to say that.
omg i hate torture
omg is that a thong
kojima pls
9:10
Has Frasar gone back to play the old games? I would love it if he played Snake Eater!
This pre-trial is the same Dark Souls. Only when you play the MGS series in the show, u will respect more, even defend it.
I lived it
God this was so painful to watch
At the end of the full trailer, they tell why the call them diamond dogs.
I like how the title of the song is in the end of the trailer
The Quiet clothes hype is same as when Solid Snake suddenly became old on MGS4 trailer,, So when MGSV:PP released, everything will clear up.. So calm down
Yeah, hearing about what happened to Konami with E3 this year, all I can think is, "What the fuck is wrong with you Konami?"
The whole thong thing blows my mind. It's Metal Gear Solid, nothing in MGS should ever be taken seriously, have you seen the gameplay, a cardboard box literally comes out of the sky and covers Big Boss and then leaves like its planet needed it, so why take a thong as combat gear any more seriously. It's not even the worst I've seen, I've seen, literally, just a bikini as battle gear, no shoes, just straight up bikini.
you guys don't now mike oldfield? wtf, those people exist?? weird
Why get mad over the look of a video game character its not like they are real its a video game a dam good one too I bet that this game will be game of the year.
"...in the film" lol. I'm a fan of this series, but still, Frash, you crack me up.
wow i just really noticed the cloths the fighter girl was wearing
truthfully didn't even take it in, its like there but she's kicking A that it just didn't distract me
That trailer is beast
If that girl in the video replaced Quiet and was in the metal gear universe, she'd be called the blade, she wouldnt use a sword, would not need one with that chin. She could slice metal gears in half with that thing.
I remember when you guys used to pretend you were all from the 90's and played old video games. Stopped watching you a few years back and when I finally see you again you're ranting about sexism while obviously trying to pander to SJWs.
Kinda depressing really
man that's alot of comments on this subject
what i like on the MGS verse is its ignoring of their outfits, cause the characters who do have actual character not just looks
no complaint to anyone's comment just wanted to say that
i come to see this when i need to be angry.
These guys are obviously disliking the series cus they don't understand it, constantly questioning everything.
I can't say anything about "current" Hideo Kojima, honestly but I freaking love the original MGS on the PS1 as well as Snake Eater, which is amongst the Top-5 of my favorite games of all time. MGS 2 was meh in retrospective and while MGS 4 was awesome, it could have been even awesomer, if the cutscenes (especially the briefings) weren't so damn long. I never could get into Peace Walker, nor Ground Zeroes, to be honest. Still, I'm gonna give Phantom Pain a try, the trailer was awesome (god, I love that song).
By the way, I don't think MGS was all melodrama. I won't deny that there is some, but there are also a lot of legitimately sad scenes and situations. Snake Eater in particular had some extremely powerful and moving scenes and the ending actually made me cry.
The thing in his head that's horn from the accident at the chopper
"Kept you waiting huh?"
The fact that you can't understand why Konami did what they did just shows how out of touch you are with the gaming community. It also seems like you have something against Kojima and or don't understand his themes/style, possibly both. Your loss though. Keep tossing your misinformed opinions out there. Hopefully you'll catch a viewer or two. If you try really hard you might even land a sub.
This is like saying the boss is overly sexualized after seeing some screenshots of her costume in the final fight. You don't know the full story.
As everyone is fond to point out (Including Fraser). Metal Gear Solid has always been a mix of melodrama/sex appeal/camp and Dark/Violent. I think for Kojima those things are on the same dial. When he turns the dark and gritty up he also turns the campy sex appeal up. Which is why you go from Sniper Wolf from the first game in an open jacket with no bra on in a snowy environment to Quiet in a bra and thong in the desert. Quiet isn't the first character to be made to appeal to a certain audience. Raiden was created cause Japanese women couldn't find Solid Snake attractive. That's one of the reasons at least.
Should have watched the full trailer more stuff happens after the title with speech from Big Boss and Kaz... and you see other stuff including a METAL GEAR!
Don't take the thong for a weakness that thong belongs the most dangerous sniper and even character to exist in the metal gear solid series
By the way the blonde kid who attacks Snake with the knife and the chair is Liquid Snake.
