Guys, Remember when Kojima said that he wants to make The Phantom Pain be as realistic as possible?

Yeah, A lot of it's features are realistic, but the horse stealth ruins it.

 

You never do that when you ride a horse? I do it all day and all night.

But seriously, seeing the character roster of Quiet, a scantly dressed sniper, Code Talker, a 100 year old shaman and Skull Face, a blue skinned heavily scarred mercenary commander, I'm losing the state of total 'realism'.

 

Kojima always says he wants every thing to be more realistic. I think that he thinks realistic means more movie like.

 

Horse's can disappear if you ride them like that !

 

That's not realistic? I used to do it all time! In Shadow of the Colossus, that is.

 

im pretty sure that's how the kgb does it

like 99.999999999999999999999999999999% certain

 

It looks realistic.

It doesn't act realistic.

Big difference. It's like having an android that acts very much like a human, and then a human that doesn't act natural or reasonable.

 

So it's not realistic to hang off the side of a horse?

 

"Hey dude.. there is a horse with saddles running in here.. probably someone is out there"
"No dude.. the guy would be hanging at the side of the horse? This is dumb! Most likely the horse fled his owner..."

"Ohh makes sense, we shouldn't bother than"
"Ok"
(Perfect stealth)

 

But they didn't even see a leg or a head poking out from the other side of the horse?

 

kentuckian here, can confirm sideways horse riding.

I rode a horse once.... I gotta say, by the end I was hanging on like that... It wasn't pretty.
