Metal Gear already has an overabundance of cleavage-bearing femme fatales. If anything, yet another one is the lazy design. I'd GLADLY take more BDUs at this point.

He also had his balls cupped by the President to check if he wasn't really a woman.

Perhaps, but that thong is riding pretty high up his ass crack. Pausing in the middle of battle to pull the wedgies out surely can't be advantageous.

I already answered this.

Feminine? No. Samus can wear heels all the live-long-day if she wants at home, out on the town, partying with friends, on a date...

Pray that doesn't happen.

Let me know when "sexy high heels" becomes synonymous with badass action too.

Two guns = twice as many bullets flying at your opponent.

To be fair, it was the 8-bit era. If they didn't put her in a bikini, I imagine most people would just assume she was another long-haired male hero, as was the case in Contra, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, etc.

Context is everything. A bikini on the beach is sensible. A bikini to a combat zone? Less so.

Heels are so badass you can barely even walk in them, let alone run, jump, kick, flip....

Because heels are utterly and entirely impractical in 99.99% of all situations requiring footwear.

Make it stop! Make it stop! Not even Kristen Stewart's acting or George Lucas's writing is that unbearable!

But she didn't wear it in Fusion. She wore this:

I think you need to look up the word "typically".

Well, not ALL the problem. Team Ninja did a pretty good job in several scenes of cutting off her head on the screen so they could frame her boobs, stuck her in the high heels, and shrunk her down about a foot or more.

Those legs are giraffe legs and nowhere near the length of normal human legs.

I had "fun" in Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball.

Well... to be fair, this isn't the first time this has happened...

It's a cold day in hell where KOTOR 1 & 2 is discarded and the Star Wars prequels are the only thing that matters.
