Here’s Why Quiet Is So Naked in MGSV [Spoilers]

Quiet has been in the center of the media for quite some time as the hype leading up to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain built to a fever pitch. Her odd choice of apparel made everyone wonder what the heck Kojima was thinking, but he swore up and down that it had a very good reason. Even going so far as to say that we would feel ashamed once we found out why.

Wait seriously? That's the best they could come up with?

poppinslops3568d ago

Legitimately dumb... I mean, I'm no biologist, but I'm pretty sure people breath with their lungs - not with their skin condition.

Seriously, what happens to her when it rains?
What if she works up a sweat?
Does she drown?

Knowing Kojima, it's probably just his idea of an excuse for her to strip... 'genius'.

Not to mention the effect such a 'condition' would have on her hygeine... poor thing probably reeks.

KurtRussell3568d ago

She would be red like a lobster on that sun. Plus the skin peeling off would be a really sexy combination.

BG115793568d ago

@poppinslops, she's like a frog. Frogs also breathe through their skin.
So in a serie where you have a cyber-ninja fighting an artificial vampire, giant atomic laughing robots, AI, clones, human beehives, where the strongest soldier was a great woman, why does this concept sound so strange?

kneon3569d ago

What a moronic excuse. Why can't they just admit that the real reason is to appeal more to teenage males.

Jaqen_Hghar3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

a man isn't a teenager and it appeals to him *commences ooogling*

NobleTeam3603569d ago

I'm 23 and it appeals to me, lol.

insomnium23569d ago

FFS it's all biology. If you have a penis you are more than likely interested in a naked woman no matter if it's a pixelated one.

I guess LESBIANS won't and can't be attracted to Quiet then...

joab7773569d ago

I think it a reasonable explanation. And at least there is one.

frostypants3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

Reasonable? Are you kidding? It's the sort of thing someone makes up AFTER they decide they want a chick in a bikini running around in the game.

"Uh, guys, they're asking for a reason."
"Oh geez...uh...SHE BREATHES THROUGH HER SKIN!"

C'mon...it makes sense the same way that saying "she forgot to do her laundry" would make sense.

chrisx3569d ago

People who act suprised might have never played an MGS game before.Those who play the series know stuff like these happen all the time, its typical Kojima

frostypants3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

Yeah, it's his strange sense of humor. And his strange sense of humor is one of the things that has always made MGS difficult for me to get into.

Jaqen_Hghar3569d ago

a man thinks they've never played the "hold X to stare at EVA's boobs" cutscenes in MGS3

BG115793568d ago

And it's not the first time we see someone naked in the MG series...
Who did forget about Raiden in MG2? I wonder why wasn't any uproar because of him. No one said that Kojima was sexist toward man because of that...

ChrisW3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

Well... That's not the worst nor lamest excuse I've ever heard for something that doesn't need explaining.

OhMyGandhi3568d ago

I'd rather they say, "her cleavage is her vision, and she needs to make sure she can see."

showtimefolks3568d ago

I am as big of a fan of mgs as anyone but please stop it. Is that the reason that every scene she is in the camera focuses on her breasts and ass

Just admit it kojima she is half naked because that's the way we men see beautiful women and in games majority and I do mean vast majority of the times the women are presented as sex toys or sex appeal

Persistantthug3568d ago

Ummmm.....

So what's the problem?

:P

paradigmfellow3568d ago

It still doesn't hide the fact that it promotes unrealistic standards of beauty.

insomnium23568d ago

I'm pretty sure there are douzens of women who fit her standards quite nicely. You don't seem to understand what the word unrealistic means do you.

bennissimo3568d ago

And she looks like Carl from the Walking Dead.

xarexerax3569d ago

Hahahahahaha what in the actual living hell is this nonsense? THAT'S the big reveal? Dumbest explanation I've ever seen.

joab7773569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

May not be a huge reveal but it makes sense.

NarooN3569d ago

Makes sense only in the bizzaro world of MGS, lol. The explanation is pretty stupid, but it's par for the course in the series.

ChrisW3569d ago

The only thing deadlier is cellophane...

idsanty3569d ago

I hate it when I think of cooler reasons for stuff than what developers confirm is real.

TheFirstClassic3569d ago

Yeah I thought it might actually be dark or meaningful.

crazychris41243569d ago

lol he was better off saying "I like boobies"

mechlord3568d ago

@crazychris4124
right? it would have been the end of it. Now, we will have to suffer weeks of all kinda articles about this "excuse".
No wonder DoA doesnt even bother with these...

why do we even need explanations for the obvious?

CoPilot: Gaming Chat is an amazing revelation - A true gamer friend at your side

CG writes: In this video, we take Microsoft's Copilot for a spin and talk about gaming and AI influences, and the implications of that. We talked about a possible Metal Gear Solid V remaster, Deus Ex remaster, Hitman Blood-Money mission, and more. Imagine trying to talk gaming with non-gaming friends in real-life and after 5 seconds, they switch off and possibly yawn. Well, CoPilot isn't like that, instead it's like talking to a like-minded gaming fan who is totally on your level. The public version of CoPilot released in Feb 2023 and already it's become almost indistinguishable from a real person.

SimpleSlave369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx369d ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

Cacabunga368d ago

Metal Gear legend stopped with number 4.
MGS5 needed a year or 2 more of development to be maybe among the classics.. it was clearly rushed, especially at the end. The story teaches us absolutely nothing new.

just_looken369d ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken369d ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing69369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno369d ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing69369d ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

Michiel1989368d ago

I don't wanna defend konami, but Kojima had 7 years to make the game, it's not that weird for a publisher to expect a game to be finished in that amount of time.

Also no one is praising konami from what I've seen, they're just excited that a Silent Hill game is releasing

CrimsonWing69367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

@Michiel1989

You’re absolutely correct. Look, the dude is a visionary and has brought us some incredible games, but he constantly would go over budget and could never stick to a deadline. I don’t know if people remember the MGS 4 trailers but it became a joke when you’d see a release date and then they crossed it out in the next trailer to give another.

What a lot of people don’t know is there’s a certain amount of money given for development and marketing. When you go over the budget and add additional marketing over the deadline it isn’t cheap. MGS GZ and V were laughable to me for the amount of time he had to develop them and he spent even more time on the engine that wasn’t anything revolutionary to me. I mean, GZ was nothing more than a demo and they released that art like $40 I think, probably to further help fund V. He then spent money for Kiefer Sutherland who did nothing for the character, which I think Kojima just wanted because he’s a fan.

Konami just had enough and said this is the deadline and you’re done after this. It’s business, but fans took it personal. I mean look at this Overdose game he’s been doing.,, like when is that ever coming out?

Michiel1989367d ago

I kind of forgot about overdose but yeah exactly my thoughts. He has made some of the best games out there and definitely deserves time to create his new masterpiece, but it's not a bottomless well.

This is pure speculation but I imagine he got around 4 years to make the game excluding pre-production. If after those 4 years the game is nowhere near being done, the relationship will be strained between them one way or another.

about the konami being praised thing, if let's say blizzard announces world of warcraft 2 today I'll be excited as hell for the game, but that doesn't mean my opinion of blizzard changes only a tiny bit cause they're still trash.

Yui_Suzumiya368d ago

Yeah, it was the only MGS I didn't play and this is coming from someone who got back into gaming after skipping a generation due to MGS4 back in 2008. It just seems to be the complete opposite of the MGS I always knew and loved (1-4).

JEECE369d ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Storm23369d ago

I don't think there is any argument. The gameplay was incredible. But yeah...disappointed in the rest. Could have been incredible but...well...we all know what happened...

JEECE367d ago

I don't think there is much of one either but apparently some people found the world very boring compared to the more linear structures of other entries so I didn't make a definitive statement in order to acknowledge the outliers.

DarXyde368d ago

The thing about Metal Gear Solid is that the narrative is what determines which is your favorite because the gameplay had ALWAYS improved with every mainline entry. It's amazing.

If it was gameplay, we'd all say The Phantom Pain, but the story is what truly sets them apart.

For me, that's Snake Eater, which is also my favorite game of all time.

JEECE367d ago

That's my favorite too, particularly if we are talking about the subsistence version with camera control.

Fishy Fingers369d ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

Storm23369d ago

Yeah...gameplay was so damn good.
