The more I see comparison gifs like these, the more I think - you don’t carve the out the person and leave the skills - that is not what they did at all. They kept everything of the person (even gave him some more skills) and took the memories. What you have left is a being who is a hunter, who is a killer, who is loyal, who is protective, who is sassy and talks back, etc, and who is up for grabs. Without the memories to inform WHO to protect, WHO to be loyal to, WHO (and what) it is worth killing for, they can manipulate the character traits into being protective of them, of being loyal to them, of killing for them.
In some respects, that may be even worse, when he regains his memories. Because everything he did as Winter Soldier is still him. He can not look at those events and say - that was not me - because it was. He was not a robot acting on programming - he was him, acting on false information.
each time del toro makes a comment like “ill do anything kojima wants” or “ill follow him to the end of the earth” im like
holy fuck he did it
kojima really has become the big boss of the games industry
>started out as just a lowly member of his organization before attracting personal devotees around the world through his deeds and reputation >abandoned and betrayed by his parent company Konami (his home country, if you will) >created his own independent “nation” not beholden to anyone (the new Kojima Productions with no meddling oversight from Sony)
holy shit he really did
All that’s left is for Konami to realize how bad they fucked up and attempt to recreate their own Hideo Kojima through cloning and/or special training.
The prophecy has come true!
wait
is that honest to god a younger-looking doppelganger of Kojima
was this in a Konami stream I missed
did the absolute madmen actually do it
Wait is that the guy who’s directing Metal Gear Survive?
Holy fucking shit
Konami took Liquid Kojima out of the vat too early
“now you shall bear witness to the demon game that will drag konami into the 21st century!” ~ liquid kojima (probably)
I am really struggling to write academically about this trend of developers making up bad excuses for not including women because what I really want to say is that it sucks and it’s adding insult to injury and could you please just be honest and say you don’t wanna.
Oh yeah, I’m sick of it too. And it feels like it just keeps happening and it’s insulting to our intelligence. Like
Ubisoft: We can’t have a female protagonist because they’re too hard to animate!
Logical Retort: What about all those female characters you already animated?
What they should have admitted: We didn’t want to make a woman protagonist.
~~~~~
Konami: Quiet can’t wear clothes because she’s infected by a parasite that makes her breathe through her skin and she’d suffocate!
Logical Retort:Well then how come that other guy with the same parasite was covered head to toe?
What they should have admitted: We wanted her to be eye candy.
~~~~~
Bungie: Cortana is rendered without any clothes because it gives her a psychological advantage over her opponents!
Logical Retort:Then how come the “male” AIs are rendered with clothing?
What they should have admitted: We wanted her to be eye candy.
~~~~~
Nintendo: Link can’t be a woman because no one would relate to them!
Logical Retort: 48% of gamers would probably love to see a character like them. And much of the other 52% may appreciate the novelty.
What they should have admitted: We really like making the exact same concept over and over.
Stop. Your BS excuses are honestly almost more insulting than the truth.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
