10 Beloved Video Game Moments That Would Be Too Offensive In 2017

8. Identifying Meryl Through Her Bum-Wiggle In Metal Gear Solid

At the time: Another aspect of "Oh, you!" in regards to how Hideo Kojima portrays the majority of his women, even back in 1998 this was seen as more than a little perverted. You're literally playing as this super-secret soldier attempting to stop total nuclear annihilation, and the doctor you're getting your intel from states that your next port of call is to identify a soldier thanks to the way she "kind of wiggles her behind."

Cut to when you're in a room full of guards and Konami over-animated the hip-twiddling of one particular character model, forcing you to enter first-person and suss out which of the oscillating derrieres is the one you want.

Now: It's true that Kojima is mostly being self-aware when it comes to portrayals of sexuality - he tends to go with a "I know you're thinking it, so here you go!" mentality - although that always only ever addresses a horny male demographic. In MGS' case, it's very hard to imagine a situation where a prominent, otherwise forthright and militaristic individual is identified by having the player stare directly at her backside, before chasing her into the toilets for an actual conversation.

Just look at the reaction to MGS V's Quiet, and that came after the world had adjusted to Mr. Kojima's 'portrayals' of the female form.
