Gamer Mondays: A Halo of Hypocrisy

"A couple of weeks ago, you may recall that the legendary Hideo Kojima Tweeted about how he asked one of his character designers to intentionally create more “erotic” characters for the purpose of cosplay and figurine sales (If you have forgotten, you can see the Tweets here). Kojima later said that his true meaning was lost in translation, and that he simply meant sexier, especially regarding the new female sniper in Metal Gear Solid V known as Quiet (See below for a “scandalous” pic)."

I bet more than half the people bought Halo 4 because of Cortana. I remember watching a trailer and man, did I find her....

I also know a friend who never bought Halo 1-3, but when I asked him why he only got 4, he simply said, "better graphics and realistic characters." When I started talking about Cortana, he went fantasy mode. I guess you can say that as technology improves, we will find more naked women. Then again, Halo 4 guy really came off as a hypocrite.

I bet less than half the people bought Halo 4 because of Cortana.

If people like that really want to see Cortana there's plenty of sites out there for such things.

HelpfulGamer3872d ago

I bet All the People who bought Halo support Cortana's existence.

zeal0us3872d ago (Edited 3872d ago )

Support Cortana existence is one thing but the way he's talking about it is like half of the people brought Halo 4 just to see Cortana's body.

Bigpappy3871d ago

People didn't buy Halo 4 because Cortana is sexy. That is just gravy.

As far as Metal Gear: Hideo Kojima should just make the game he wants to. Let the media hate all they want. All this does is bring even more attention to the game. Rock Star are the best at dealing with the idiot in the media. They just ignore them. The fans buy the games and play them, and the media just keep recruiting them new fans with every release. Sweet!

ArtificiallyYours3871d ago

Well look at the "observant" crowd here. If that was the case then, heh, SPOILERS she's gone now.

That was the intentional canon.

Volkama3871d ago

I'm just playing Halo 4 at the moment. Honestly I find Cortana's makeover and pout a bit creepy and cheap.

I noticed this, too.

Cortana is basically holographic fan-service. A few female journalists even noted how "naked" and curvacious her body was. She's definitely rocking more sex appeal than Quiet... but then again, what do I know? I'm not a SJW with a biased slant and an agenda to push.

MrBombastic3871d ago

Yes Cortana was overly sexualized this last game but she was a fully developed powerful female character . I doubt Kojimas character will be more than tits with a big gun and will be pretty shallow compared to the depth of Cortana

Name Last Name3871d ago

^ MGS main characters are not shallow. Cortana may end up with more depth than Quiet but its because she has appeared in more games.

cyguration3871d ago

I'm going to assume you were purposefully trolling here, mate.

Inception3871d ago

Even Sunny in MGS4 had more depth compare to Cortana ;)

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan173d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara173d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus173d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow173d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga189d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19189d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19189d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq189d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger189d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder189d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils189d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder189d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85189d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac189d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420189d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim189d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo188d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
