Sorry dude I double posted this to both KiA and c/gaming but decided it wasn’t actually much more than an irrelevant shitpost so decided to only keep the one on c/gaming:
Please feel free to bring this conversation over there! Or even make it into a post here, whatever you think
btw I was setting up emulators yesterday myself and got sucked into Metal Gear (the original) which I was accessing funnily enough through emulating the MGS HD Collection’s version of MGS3, which includes a built in emulator for MG1 and 2
There is actually an interesting nugget or two that could be mined from this image:
There was clearly a directive that one of the characters needed to be a girl, and one of the characters needed to be black - I picture Ed Boon saying “just make the chick black lol”
Then you have the actual ad which has both a “nice rack” comment and a joke about one of the lads “having to be the chick” - both kind of funny, but only possible because of the fact the characters were added in the first place - presumably they weren’t added to only be the butt of the joke

I was thinking about making a post here later with some actual screen caps of different games, so I may very well do that still.

Most of the ads are similarly “shocking” compared to the watered down slop these days.
