So why did people pretend that the initial scepticism and eventual big hate campaign for this game wasn't due solely to racism? If the game was exactly the same but with a cute white girl or more anime girl it would probably be called a cult classic and Ganker would say it saved gaming.

It's a mediocre game, but yes I think it is fair to say that a lot of the criticisms heaped on it are a result of the protagonist being black. Even Resetera has been coping saying "no the game is just bad" but that is not true. Unfortunately, the well has been poisoned by people wrongfully calling things racist when they aren't, so when legitimate racism happens it is not taken seriously
So you liked it? Make a point beyond baits, moron.
It's mediocre but my point is the only reason the hate is so big for it is because of a subtle racism in everyone. If the she wasn't black I don't think there would be any controversy about this game at all.
ff15 dlc was cancelled for this shit
stop trying to race bait, homosexual
>So why did people pretend that the initial scepticism and eventual big hate campaign for this game wasn't due solely to racism?
Holy frick can we have another vidya butts thread instead of this shit
Shut up moron. The game was made for women and homosexuals. Thats why it failed you stupid gaylord
>New concept never been done before in game
>People complaining about it
I found it interesting. It's a unique way to give spell casting to a female character that isn't loads of rings/a wand etc.
It was a cute way of doing it but ultimately just cosmetic.
Also would have been a problem to balance if playtests indicated more or fewer nails would work better.
Concept? It's literally just a menu design
Your a homosexual so im not suprised no straight man would play this
what would be a male equivalent? wiener rings?
No, a game for homosexuals would have half-naked sexy men with giant dong. No gay would like annoying niggress.
If we saw her toenails too it might have redeemed the game
Probably. There are male mods available right now, I'm waiting for a voice mod as well.
It did detract from the game. I've become like ~~*they*~~ want me to be recently in that if something isn't marketed towards my race + gender (white men) I won't even think about it.
Why do I have to pretend to like black people? I do not like them. I don't want to fricking see them. Yes, my enjoyment of a game goes down if I have to look at Black folk.
>A black person on the bus called me cracker once
>Society is collapsing
>brown people ruin society
Yeah, seems to be the case.
>Some guy is selling shoes on the sidewalk
>Society is collapsing
lol
I know [current year] is so amazing. Think of all the [products] we have now that our parents and grandparents didn't, they even had to buy porn magazines instead of streaming it directly off blacked.com
>being a moronic c**ty contrarian.
jesus christ anon, you and i both know exactly what's wrong with that picture, and it's far deeper than some brownoid selling shoes.
gtfo
i bet you live in a predominately white college town huh?
LOL I looked up this place and its a fricking swap meet/market town, like every major city on the planet has. Are you serious?
you honestly should go back to preddit and jerk off to pictures of street tacos made by authentic brown hands or whatever you c**ts do.
Los Angeles used to not be a third world hellhole. I know because I lived there in the past.
>OMG LOOK AT ALL THAT WONDERFUL DIVERSITY!!!
>Live in richest, most free, most socially accepting and prosperous country the world has ever known
>Also happens to be the most diverse
Looks fine to me.
I think the USA is over.
Latinos are the only reason why Texas and Florida are red states you stupid fricking idiot. Your choices are learning Spanish or having drag queen story times in every school.
I think latinos destroyed the USA.
explain new england (nh, me, vt) -- they are as progressive (moronic) as the bluest of blue, yet still 95%ish white
granted it's probably because the aren't exposed to the brown hordes and don't know how awful they are, but still.
Black/female leads are a bit of a canary test for a piece of media. If the creators are crazy enough to do something that will obviously damage their bottom line (non-White male lead) imagine what other terrible design choices they also made. So it isn't that people hate media featuring blacks/females, it's that we know that blacks/females are an early sign it will be garbage.
People can make purchasing decisions based on race if they want, it's their money. But if she had been sexually attractive I would have overlooked her race.
As this anon points out, it's a bit like a test, but making her attractive shows it isn't blatantly woke.
you really don't see the hypocritical double standard at play here
>whiny POCs: we want representation, we want to play games with characters we can relate to
>whites: okay, so do we
>RACISM!!
It's just woke BLM Isekai not just because she's black but because of all that plus cringe dialogue, and the unlikeable main character and it's a mediocre game overall.
Also because she's black.
>Woke
It is not. Frey is a street rat criminal who is constantly rude to everyone. The game calls her out for it and she seethes. It's actually pretty remarkable to play such a negative and nasty character that learns nothing and just wants to go home even though there is nothing there for her.
It’s almost like wokies don’t have the introspection to see that when they write “real” characters they end up unlikeable as frick. Same shit as Captain Marvel; the writers genuinely thought they were making an empowered, empathetic female lead.
Frey is very intentionally unlikeable, however. You are not supposed to really root for her. She's different than say, Aloy, a character that you are supposed to like despite her being terrible. The game doesn't hide how Frey is and even at several points basically goes "just because your life was hard doesn't justify treating others poorly" and she ignores it. It's interesting to play a character like her
They had to know that a snarky, chip on her shoulder, inner city hood rat type character can only be pulled off if they are shown to have a sense of humour and to have a deep seated vulnerability that they have to overcome by the end of the story. Frey fails as a character because she accepts the help of others with no sense of gratitude, she is selfish to the point of sociopathy, openly mocks people trying to help her and despite the devs attempt to make her relatable she relates to no one in the story.
Frey is just a bad protagonist. Because she is so underwhelmed by everything that happens to her, it makes it harder for the player to care about anything in the world.
She's a bad person but an interesting character. But as you say, it's less satisfying. I guess she does warm up a little by the end of the game but it's still not enough
has nothing to do with black protagonist we've had them in the past
its just an awful game
>Seriously replying to such obvious bait
OP here, I don't really mean it to be bait I just wonder why there isn't more honesty about it. If you don't like black people in games fine but then just say thats the reason. The game wouldn't have any discourse if she wasn't black. Think Horizon Zero Dawn.
>same but with a cute white girl or more anime girl it would probably be called a cult classic
yes
unfortunately it is not
Mate she's cute as frick that's really not the problem here.
What has Square Enix done well lately?
someone make a mod that turns mc into cute anime girl
>waahwaahwaah

Normally i'd say you're right.... but It wasn't the black girl that was the problem, even on here - the main issue everyone had was the focus of the game is on the story/writing and the story/writing was atrociously bad.
Prove racism exist
The only reason she was disadvantaged was because she was a black person living in america.
I want to play it for the combat since I liked it in the demo but I'm not paying for the full game. So for now you'll have to suffer all the zoomers doomposting about the game because there's an unfunny negress in it.
It was about, like so very many games these days, the dialogue they showed us, for me. However, I expect to play this game sooner or later for free on psextra so I’m holding off judging it too harshly until I experience it, like any mature person would do.
Only way for me to find out if this game truly is THAT bad is to buy it, which I won't ever do
