What is it with Konami and the way they represent women in their games?
I’m likely to be on my own here, but I was a little disappointed with the end of the ‘MGS2’ demo that came with ‘Z.O.E.’ I understand pregnant women are a reality – even in the armed forces. But do I want to shoot such images? It’s a little bizarre. The original ‘Metal Gear’ contained patronising dialogue between Snakie and the rest of the female characters. And ‘Ring of Red’ (which I’m kinda enjoying) displays a terrible respect for the female form.
Look, you buy a game like ‘Dead or Alive 2’ and you get what you see. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
This is /not/ a GaD entry…
I’m just having a rant!
