When Will The Quiet Obsession End?

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best games we've ever seen, and the community can't seem to do anything but drool over Quiet.

When writers stop creating clickbait articles about her

I love you

Douchey media keep doing things and then asking why those things are happening.

Either they are stupid or lying.

[Silly Mammo]

The Gaming Media really does create their own news so that they have something to write about.

[bmf7364]

It's like when Ken Levine demanded people to stop making Elizabeth porn of Bioshock. It just resulted in more porn.

[rainslacker]

Considering real news(the interesting kind I mean) only comes around once or twice a month...if they're lucky...what else can they do?

99% of real gaming news gets so little attention because it's pretty mundane and more about regurgitating press releases.

[Unyoked]

Lol

[Gozer]

Quiet isnt anything new to anyone familiar with Metal Gear. For many different possible reasons H. Kojima adds sexuality into his games. This game is hardly the first. Does it arouse anyone thats seen the real thing? Lol probably not, at least I hope not. Either way, he has found the formula for making a game be a game, and the game is fun. Lord knows his writing is atrocious, but its fun nonetheless. I really hope that this isnt his last game. He is a veteran of decades and it would be a loss to see him leave.

Personally, I would like to see him start anew. Head Designer, with a team of writers. Im thinking trilogy with a cohesive story, and his wisdom with design.

[olliec9493]

I don't know metal gearwell but i'm inclined to agree.I don't think Quiet as she is presented in the footage I've seen is all that well designed. Obviously very deliberate sexualisation for the sake of the audience and I do feel that would break my immersion. But I don't think it's any more sexist in principle than anything else put out by the industry. It's just silly and in a game where you're strapping people to balloons and such I don't think it's the worst sin ever in games design. Were this in the last of us or something it would be atrocious but i feel, at least from what I've seen, that metal gear doesn't take itself too seriously

[Count_Bakula]

It's nothing new to..the world either haha. It's just cleavage and some skin. It's like 120 degrees in Afghanistan and it's not like her name is Decoy Fetus and she's running around sniping soldiers with tampons or something. It's completely benign; people are just so damn thin-skinned these days.

[donthate]

olliec

I think the issue of it being more "sexualixed" is kind of moot. What people want is not sexualized....

[bmf7364]

He's been working close with Guillermo del Toro and he visited JJ Abrams before MGSV's launch. It's clear that Kojima's name is well associated with Hollywood's biggest directors/writers even when Kojima himself works in an completely different form of media.

[MysticStrummer]

When the next overblown gaming controversy comes along. Call of Duty will be releasing soon, so maybe we'll get some articles about video game violence and how it impacts the human brain.

[McGamer]

Emman, I could not have said it better myself.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

This. Until this generation of writers is phased out and replaced with others who (hopefully) won't be as "un-progressive" as these ones; the articles about how showing boobs is bad will keep flowing.

[LackTrue4K]

I'm surprised the midia has not say anything thing about.
Her being "quite"

Lol....what I mean is

"Bitch be quite"
Haha

[ifistbrowni]

how many times are you going to post this joke?

http://n4g.com/news/1785344...

[OhMyGandhi]

..and another article is released.

[BG11579]

Or another game is release so that feminazi may get angry about another game, that they will never play.

[Dasteru]

[ChrisW]

Aiyeeee! Cannot be unseen!!!

[MasterCornholio]

People should be grateful that we didn't get THAT instead.

[ThePresentIsAgift]

Lmfao, oh my god, that was gold

[Man_Marmalade]

that's hot.

[RedDevils]

Oh no you didn't

[ChrisW]

I really never understood the fascination from the beginning. She's not all that good looking and most of the fans only like her for her not wearing much.

[WeAreLegion]

She's insanely good looking.

[ChrisW]

Do bear in mind that I'm not saying she's butt-ugly. It's just that if you actually take a minute to look at her face, and not solely her womanly bits, she's a little homely - just a little.

But, whatever! Each to their own.

[WeAreLegion]

I'm ONLY looking at her face. Gorgeous. I like that look though. The soft look.

[ChrisW]

You know... That's a thing that is probably making her more popular that she really should be.

Lame people like us arguing about her looks.

[vanity29]

She's really cute. That's a given cuz her model is cute asf

[SuperBlunt]

The obsession mentioned is because of her outfit. Apparently everyone online is amish and cant stand to see a wonan in a bikini top

[MasterCornholio]

People act like they never seen a DOA game before......

Its not like its the first time that we seen this.

[eyeDEVOUR]

She could wear a fat suit and id still love that face...

[timeisnigh]

LOL! Cause, hey! Fat people need loving too, I guess.

[Unyoked]

When Quiet stops being a badass

[Double_O_Revan]

Or when they stop posting pics of dat ass in the headline.

[Summons75]

Right? She's the best buddy in the game but all the reporters see is a make believe scandal due to her character design. Who cares, awesome character and an intelligent buddy...she's awesome.

[Unyoked]

I agree

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

"God I'm so progressive. Attractiveness makes me upset." This is basically what it said.

[TheHaloGuy]

That's every article. Why? Cause being a sissy is what everyone's doing. Last time I checked, we're all human!

How about being concerned about real issues like the systematic murder and enslavement of children as child soldiers? No? You still wanna concentrate on virtual eye candy as what's wrong with the world? Cooooooooool.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I never said that was every article. Nice reading comprehensions there. You give the short bus kids a run for their money.

I do give a shit about those things. I don't care about someone's feelings over how over or under serialized a game character is. That's petty and stupid.

[eyeDEVOUR]

Facepalm...
Can you read?

[TheHaloGuy]

Reported for the short bus comment. And I was replying to a different comment. For some reason it replied to yours. Thanks for being a horrible person and attacking mentally disabled children.

[Scatpants]

I can't stand this trend of whining about F'ing everything that seems to have started going around the past few years. The only bright side is that there will most likely be a backlash where no one whines about anything, hopefully sooner rather than later.

[rainslacker]

Wonder how many links to porn sites these writers have saved on their browser or what kind of fan service anime scene they have for the desktop background.

[Scatpants]

They probably only do things really self important hipsters do, like reading really highbrow literature in public places like coffee shops so everyone can see how smart and thoughtful they are, or shopping for organic mustache wax.

[Bobafret]

When she puts on some pants.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I as soon as that Eva one does.....

Well I still like Eva....how about never? That seems like a realistic time frame.

Thats like asking (man bro, when will this FFVII love die, its been 20 years bro)

[DangerousDAN]

I still have love for Tifa, that's never going away.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed! I loved her MORE in Advent Children, can't wait to see what she looks like in the Remake!

[rainslacker]

I'm more a Yuffie fan, so was a little disappointed in Advent Children. Tifa is cool though. Love that cowgirl outfit.

[Lennoxb63]

That's like asking, "When will the obsession with beautiful women end?" Dumb question.

[DangerousDAN]

Never. I love that sexy ass woman.

[Truthandreason]

this article is hilarious, he completely knocks quiet and yet links to a cosplay of her that he probably had to fap to.

[xzxxsicko]

Well here face was scaned and moduled after 11 year old daughter of Kojimas team member .

[lildudexst]

She alright now let not go crazy.

[Abdullahbeyond]

I hate when game developers use women body to draw some attention to their games or whatever the uses are, naked doesn't mean we will like her, naked doesn't mean she is cool or badass or anything. Just look at Elie or Aloy in the new Horizon Zero Dawn game. They are both great with no body shown. Women is more than a body KOJIMA.

[eyeDEVOUR]

Go watch some male porn...

[Abdullahbeyond]

No, I'm not a sick person to watch women got used as a product for money and to satisfy your sick desires.

[Spotie]

Yes, a woman IS more than a body... so why don't you consider that for Quiet? Why are you assuming that because she isn't dressed modestly, sexuality is all there is to her?

[Abdullahbeyond]

A women wearing this kind of gross, cheap dress and all the physics used on her body, how would I assume something else?

[BlindMango]

I can see where you're coming from, but I also believe that developers should be able to do whatever they want in their games too. Ellie and Aloy are awesome characters, but why can't there be a character like Quiet in gaming either? There's so many sexualized male characters in gaming and that's never a big deal to anyone and it's always all good and well - it's only when a woman isn't dressed in the "proper" clothing is when bloggers and feminist critics go nuts on the internet and publish a bunch of articles and videos about it, and that whole thing starts to get annoying after a while, to both gamers and developers.

[Abdullahbeyond]

All I asked for, is more respect for the women. It just annoys me every time I see women been used as a way to get more cash or more attention. I think this is inhuman and disgusting.

[eyeDEVOUR]

We arent born wearing clothes. Clothing and dress code are man made social constructs and thats all buddy... What started as decoration and artistic self expression has mutated into what we consider normal. Imagine how ridicules the first human looked decorating his/her body to the people of his tribe. They probably laughed at him. Futher more, id be willing to bet anything that the reason we cover our bodies is because of all of the man-made religions of the world has made us feel guilt and shame about our minds, bodies and where we come from, which is from the natural world...not divine origin

[Abdullahbeyond]

Hahahaha it would be better if you closed your mouth sir XD, better for you

[Mulletino]

The reason we wear clothes is a little deeper than "decoration".

[rainslacker]

I hate it when devs do that too. But lets face it, it does draw attention, because it's normal for people to be titillated by things they find sexually attractive.

Don't believe me? Well...what is the dominate topic of MGSV since release...and what was pretty plentiful before it's release.

The problem is that some people spend too much time focusing on these things, that it gets to the point where those same people who have problems are defining the game as one thing, when it's not. It self-fulfilling, because if no one paid attention to the controversy, then this game wouldn't be about some sexualized woman, but about Metal Gear.

If no one was talking about this controversy, would it really be such a terrible thing to have a scantily clad woman running around?

What I find funny is that the people who want to disparage on this one point, never really talk about her character...it's always about how she isn't wearing much clothing. They ignore her character, and her personality, in order to focus on that which we are degenerates for focusing on. I dunno about you, but the hypocrisy runs thick in these kinds of controversies.

[Scatpants]

If she wore a birka instead she could also use it as a tent while she's in the field.
I love the fact that he didn't conform by trying to cater to prudish people.

[eyeDEVOUR]

It will never end as long as we have penises.lol

She may be the most beautiful videogame chick ever created imo..

[Enigma_2099]

How about when you stop bringing it up?

[AlucardFury]

People just love complaining over anything these days.

[rainslacker]

It's easier than thinking critically and talking about games and story premises and overall social implications that a game may present as a medium of entertainment.

Thinking critically beyond the impulse to hate is a skill rarely shown on the internet....and sadly outside it nowadays.

[RedTfox]

NEVER...

[Scatpants]

They should make a flannel shirt costume for her to quiet the SJWs she already has the combat boots.

[Mkai28]

When nerds finally get a real flesh and blood obsession.. Seriously though, what obsession? The only ones talking about this is the journalists..

[mad-dog]

Not clicking that link.
How about not writing about this subject?

[juggulator]

If it was that bad no one would have beaten the game as they would never get past the screen showing Quiet,due to an inability to stop "drooling" over her.

[goathouse774]

I love this character, and I fully endorse Kojima's "sexualization" of her and others in this series because it adds flair. Personally, I find Quiet attractive, so why would I complain about having her around?

[343_Guilty_Spark]

She has no ass at all.

[DivineAssault]

Shes FN HOT thats why. Shes a smart woman that can speak english and japanese fluently, Hot body, and has a sexy accent.. Watch her video at the konami office some time

[NotanotherReboot]

Thumbs up if you have fiddled with yourself over Quiet ( I have)

[pinkyxyz]

Media focuses on quiet.
Media gets tires if quiet.
Media complains about media coverage of quiet.
The media trolled itself....inception

[wannabe gamer]

didnt know there was an obsession....in fact this article isthe first ive heard of such a thing. try playing more games and reading less garbage clickbait crap online. oh no sorry you are too busy writing it to stop and read or game.

[PistolsAtDawn]

Seems like the issue is only from those complaining about it...

[Scatpants]

I think Quiet is one of the best ideas Kojima had with this game. It's full of violence and ugly things. It's fantastic that he gave you the option to put a little eye candy in to the mix. If she had been wearing some kind of conservative practical military outfit she would not have served her purpose in the game, a sexy yin to the blood and violence's yang

[Eonjay]

Because the top story on N4G is DatAss

[VJGenova]

Not going to lie. She is 99% of the reason I purchased the game ... seriously ... I'm not kidding. The other 1% was Snake's beard.
