Kojima: Overly sexualized women in DS will be given a “deep background story"

I mean, I'd respect him more if he said "lol I like virtual breasts" instead of playing serious.

Koji, just stop. Quiet was awful. Everyone knows that. She was a basically a blow-up doll that was really good at killing people. No one's going to accept any of your bullshit when it comes to convoluted reasons for including your wank material.

Sexy girls are fine, but don't try and pretend there's some deeper meaning there.

Awkwardly long camera shots on boobs and butts and he gives us something to read and think about

Thanks Kojima

Meh.

The over-sexualization of female characters is done purely as a marketing tactic.

Providing in-game context as to why a character might act or dress that way is nothing more than a shallow attempt to skirt criticism.

He might as well say, "she's half-naked with large breasts because i think it'll appeal to much of the target demographic." That's the real reason- not whatever tragic backstory he happens to come up with.
 
Wow what a savage, can't believe he would say that 😂😂 bet the next death Stranding trailer is just gonna open on a big ol' pair of tits.

Finally some big boobs with backstory. Always hated how some female characters had big breasts but it was never explained how they got so big.


Actually... I wish the boobs in One Piece had backstory because I'm genuinely curious how they could grow 20 cup sizes in the span of a few months.
 
*facepalm*

Dude, stop. You don't have to try to cover this stuff up. You're not fooling anyone. This was taken into account as a part of the Kojima formula ages ago, and to some degree it's actually expected! The funny part is that the only actual thing "wrong" here is that there's an automatic assumption (and admission) that female characters will be hyper-sexualized, and not that there's sexualized content in a Japanese AAA title.

Just own the fact that you like looking at jiggly digital titties, as ridiculous as it is. Because nobody believes your bullshit.

I don't mind sexualized characters. Just don't shove weird background stories relating to that in my face. I'd rather have them talk about the character and how fucked up she has been throughout her life, but explaining why she likes to show her breasts is MEH. Don't need explanations.
 
Literally all he needs to do is say he's designing a character based on what he finds attractive. It's acting like there's a need for that design that irks folks.
 
I have zero faith in this after being ashamed of my words and deeds...At the very least, be more like Yoko Taro or At least own up to it.
 
Quiet was utterly awful and cringeworthy.

If he wants to be up there with his film making peers and be taken seriously he needs to chill on using women as sex objects.

Love Kojima and can't wait for Death Stranding. I also doubt we'll get something on the level of Quiet in DS, because I'm not sure how that could fit in thematically. But even if it happens, there's also naked Norman Reedus for the gals, so we're good.
