I think MGS has always had very...sensual characters, for lack of a better term. Some are outright sexy, but there's always a definite physical nuance to them that many game designs seem to lack.

That's why Quiet doesn't bother me. Kojima was the first person to put an attractive female with unshaven arms in a game…

Only response to that last line:

Very sexually designed. Dat beard!

But seriously, I think are referring to Boss and...

Source? Seriously, people. Nothing has been officially revealed about her past except that she can't talk. Knee-jerking to make it look like Kojima is doing something terrible is really sort of asinine.

Vamp would like to have a word with you.

Right, because Saber from Fate/Stay? Totally a prop. Oh, wait...actually King Arthur.

Makota Kusanagi? Also totally a prop. Definitely not one the singular most genre-defining characters.

Oh, Tokine Yukimura from Kekkaishi? Grossly incompetent and obviously a terrible lead.

Maki Aikawa in Air Master? Considering…

Because so much of video games is based on accurate portrayal of physiology, obviously.

Two words: Michael Stackpole.

Zahn is good, but he was still sucking at the Jedi teat. Stackpole made other people cool.

So, the Witcher is really good. It gives you these really kind of morally grey choices, which is great on paper, but it's really sort of a bait and switch. In the first Witcher, there is a choice of "help the rebels who are dying" or "don't help the rebels are dying." The game does an excellent job of painting the…

It's too bad you can only play through the game once on PC.

Considering for most of human history, armies have consisted of cadres of well-trained troops and absolute masses of practically useless meat that opposing sides threw at each other. Give a dude a spear, be happy if he doesn't drop it on the initial charge, but end of the day he's going to be rolling around on the…

Yeah, and the limited edition Can't Keep a Woman Cyclops and Failure as a Leader Cyclops.

Any character that just has "likable" as a characteristic isn't really much of a character.

I tend not to like characters that are "too good." I hated Cyclops until post M-Day, when he finally nutted up and stopped acting like a boy scout.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...slow your roll there, homie. He worked with Sinister because Sinister helped him to control his powers. He had a debt, that's why he was with the Sinister in the first place. He ditched them after the Morlock Massacre, because Sinister used him.

As for Apocalypse...really? You are going to pull…

Uh, the first shower scene with Ethan was completely unnecessary as well. Unless you really derived some sort of deep motivation and character development from him scrubbing himself.

Because naked people are icky!

Uh, wasn't the very first shower scene in Heavy Rain with Ethan or whatever his name was?

Uh, women are just as likely to react poorly to rejection as men are. Having been called a faggot for not wanting to hook up with a girl at a party, I can attest to that. Women are not magical angels full of fairy dust and unicorn farts. They can be, and often are, just as vile as men, but there seems to be this…

"The artist is here for the love of dance."

Which is why they are a go go dancer, and not in a dance troupe. Makes sense.

Well, considering there are generally few male cosplayers, yes, it happens less often. Then again, men tend not to cosplay sartorially challenged characters, so...
