Your manager at work when he says his two favorite weekend activities are golfing and cosplay.

Which good for him if true but whaddhell is going on here lol

Isn't the deal with the costumes in Siege that they're just the existing R6 characters actually wearing costumes? I think it's a costume for Maverick who just looks like that

When their model of Snake looks pretty good/faithful, since it's supposed to actually be Snake, not a costume

[-] Dyno@hexbear.net 26 points 13 hours ago

it's like the modeler placed the white hair and halfway through forgot they were working on raiden and made geralt instead

I saw someone say he looks more like Christopher Lambert as Raiden in the first Mortal Kombat movie and it's kind of accurate

Gotta say, almost three decades later and Raiden's appearance still being a thing is one of the funniest bits the MGS2 team pulled on the world

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 30 points 14 hours ago

MGS characters are THE gooning material for women and gay men. And yet here we have ubisoft turning pretty boy Raiden into possessed king theoden. Where is the outrage?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 24 points 14 hours ago

Where is the outrage?

I'd imagine women and gay men just go "well that sucks" and move on with their day, unlike G*mers who melt down for months on end when Tifa's booba too small.

This is the Raiden? The Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty? I swear that doesn't look like any Raiden I imagined??

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 14 hours ago

Literally laughing out loud at this, yooo he looks AWFUL.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

I swear to go god if they turn Snake into an uggo…

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 15 points 12 hours ago

Funnily enough, in-universe they've been been saying Snake looks like a crusty old guy since MGS1

Japanese beauty standards, man

spoilerYes, that was hinting at his accelerated aging due to being a clone made with 70s technology but he just looks like 80s Kurt Russell

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 hours ago

80s Kurt Russell can do no wrong.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

Unc him and ditch the mullet for a zoomer fade, let's fucking go.

They also had very anime character designs that they tried to make look good in a photorealistic game and it was kind of a mixed bag. At least Dante was supposed to look older

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago

this is so bad i dont even believe its real.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 3 points 9 hours ago

i am so sick of crossover skins

[-] Arahnya@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago

nah he looks good 👍 but I dont see an issue with nose shape, nasolabial folds, and a high philtrum. tbh I think he looks pretty

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 16 points 12 hours ago

I was joking and there's nothing wrong with his face in a vacuum but he just does not give MGS2 Raiden vibes. He kinda looks like a clean-shaven Geralt in Raiden cosplay

Speaking of cosplay, there's something about the suit that's off, like it's bought from Temu or something
