Spaceships? Nanomachines? Seriously? You're over exaggerating to the max. Nanomachines was really only used for MGS4 to EXPLAIN THE PROBLEMS AND DO AWAY WITH THE STUPID CRAP FROM MGS2! So what if Quiet has powers? SHE ISN'T THE FIRST. Hideo using fake guns really isn't new ahem The Patriot the EZ Gun, the Solar Gun, the Mantis and Sorrow dolls among others. Plus I take it using real life guns would cost money to be used in their game, they they probably didn't want to have to deal with that crap.

So in short, you may think Peacewalker was the last "real" Metal Gear Solid, but really Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are just as "real" as any other game. So what if it's not as realistic as the other games? They're VIDEO GAMES they're not supposed to be realistic! If they were there'd BE NO METAL GEAR GAMES. Yeah, and even then, MGS is debatable at least, since a twitter post indicated that he named Solidus specifically because he at the very least anticipated a sequel.

As far as realistic or not, I'd handle non-realism as long as it at least has darn good research on history, and quite frankly, Peace Walker butchered it regarding history (most of the stuff from Che Guevara were quite blatantly false. I know there was no record of him ever visiting Japan, though his daughter did. I'd know because I tried to search for something online stating this. Even his final words are pretty much off, as he basically said "Don't shoot! I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!" And the French Revolution's history from Cecile was not even close to accurate [for starters, the Jacobins and Gironquists basically massacred anyone they found, and King Louis XVI and his family didn't even do a thing to stop them, even when they clearly had the advantage over the mobs].).

And in all fairness, it's also very likely her teleportation/stealth abilities were due to technology, since Big Boss was clearly using Quiet's ability in MGO3.
