>accurate represenation of minorities is... le bad!
That would be like all Spanish people being dressed like pic related and any time they open their mouths, they must talk about running with bulls, jamon and toreadors. Would you consider that accurate of a regular Spaniard?
That's what Hollywood has been doing for the last 50 years. Amerifats don't have culture of their own so they use others as some kind of passive skill in a rpg, they are mentally ill.
Yes.
I look like that and do that
>I look like that and do that

based
I cringed real hard just imagining it.
Yes. I went to Spain for a few months and they all act like that
Yes.
Yes
VGH!
We live in a incredible boring World nowadays
Everyone in spain is Torrente, even the women
if only that were true we would almost be based
but the actor who plays torrente is actually a gigasoycuck, which I guess portrays his acting quality
who said the opposite
Just don’t have them at all.

Jackie was based and the game falls off without him
Black Person:
>Indubitably I have always been a bit shy and vehemently opposed to crime. Hey, did you know Hitler was this bad guy that lived a long time ago? Well anyway back to my important and introspective research.
Black Person when I was a kid:
>Das rite, I'm here to help you on your Campbellian journey white boi *stares stoically*
the magic Black is still a better archetype than the annoying hip black woman talking about capitalism and racism
Name one example
Starfield (literally said the hitler thing) and Fallout 4 off the top of my head. I mostly play map painters and strategy games these days. Black women are represented differently. I should have said male.
Everyone in Starfield is blanda upped.
>Fallout 4
You have never played the game.
Ghostrunner did literally all that in a single scene while also pegging down a dumb, violent, religious white guy with some ebic atheism iirc.
if i meet a black character in a game i know they'll be a reliable ally. if i meet a blue eyed character in a game i expect betrayal and them to monologue justifying extremist ethics. i just like making fun of art. like when i was a kid i laughed hysterically about record skips and other cliches of the time. i make fun of marvel dialogue. i make fun of overused characters. it just so happens that this is our current world. there was a time like our current art in the 80s sorta and people made fun of it and are even making movies now nostaligically lampooning it like The American Society of Magical Black folks
He shouldn't look up the history of his people lol
literally every single group of people based on race, ethnicity, nationality and religion have been enslaved or subjugated at some point in history or are currently still are enslaved or subjugated. idk why people like to flex about the enslavement of African people in America so much, it's par the course of human history.
Because African people in America love to flex it, to get pitty points and to defend themselves from criticism.
Maybe stop bringing up racism and slavery every time, and people will forget it, like they've forgotten European serfdom and half the continent being the private property of some kraut.
>Because African people in America love to flex it, to get pitty points and to defend themselves from criticism.
It's only ever brought up in the context of why black Americans are currently still lagging behind in America. As the entire country is still recovering the effects of slavery and segregation. Outside of history and literature classes no one mentions it. It's really not a part of our daily lives. It's just annoying seeing people try to use it as a slam dunk online when their own families were slaves too and probably ended up in the North America, Australia and New Zealand as indentured servants, they were just lucky enough to be white.
I'm not in the USA, and most of my US culture contact is movies, music and sports. And in these, it gets brought up by many black american men, much of the time, usually on a superficial level, usually to talk about "us vs them" and how "them" don't let us thrive.
At least from where I am standing, and from what I am seeing, its not different from israelites bringing up holocaust only on such occasions, only to say such things, while ignoring other mass killings in history.
>what is the russian empire
>what is the ottoman empire
>what are serfdom and feudalism
Africans were slaves for millenia, none of the listed Empires and systems are much older than a millenia.
Africans were traded in America between 1550 and 1850, for 300 years.
More people, for more years, were slaves of the Sultan in the Balkans, without the right to own land, or move freely, and conscripted for force labour and paying first born sons for the janissary army.
African-american slavery is the most famous slavery, because modern USA is the main engine of global culture, so we are all living in Amerika, Amerika, its wundabah, and we all know their memes. Meanwhile, they don't know ours dank memes, and lack the grounds to compare themselves to us.
Do you honestly think that Africans were only traded to Americans?
Ehh, I was satisfied with what ending I got and yeah, having some secret happy ending where everyone shits rainbows and all TCD occurs would be tone deaf.
I read about the PL ending and it seems like misery porn to me so idk
>I read about the PL ending and it seems like misery porn to me so idk
It's sad in the sense that all your relationships in Night City are bust, you're a total nobody again and you can never become an epic cyber ninja ever again (ignoring the fact that biomods exist but are ignored by the game). Your girl/boyfriend leaves you but frankly you were only together for a few months. Johnny is gone but he was fine with that fact by the end, it's your life. Hell, Kerry might even come back to you if you hooked up with him, he's just busy at the moment.
It's happy in the sense that you truly do get a clean break, you're alive, you're cured, you can do almost anything with your new life. Want a job in the NUSA? Probably covered. Want to move to Europe with your accrued money? Possible. Want to become a fixer like Rogue? Doable even if a dumb idea. V is dead, Valerie/Vincent gets to live and leave that shithole. Can't save the world but you saved yourself.
Idk, I usually don't attach to player characters but to other characters in games.
That's why for example, in BG3, I had 0 issues with choosing my character for the bug life.
I'd normally agree but V felt like an actual character to me and not an extension of myself.
Yeah I guess, it is clear that CDPR doesn't like the entire "RP" part of the "RPGs".
V was a character I was invested in but by the end, I was kinda feeling bad for Johnny too.
Definitely. Johnny is a monumental frickup but he also isn't wrong. When Keanu's involvement with the game was announced I took it as a cynical celebrity marketing scheme yet he turned out to be the heart and soul of the game.
>Bulgarian seething at AAs because local issues show up in American cultural products
But nobody except maybe the israelites were enslaved for so long.
HERR HERR I AM WHITE I DEFEND YOU AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE I CLEAN STABLE VERY GOOD YES
I never understood the idea that America promotes BBC or whatever. On Disney channel every black male character was either fat or a literal cuck. There was a show ANT farm where the main characters black brother spent the whole show getting bullied and rejected
They're trying to promote the idea of black guys as entirely harmless to get the public to stick to the, "and then the civil rights act was passed and everything became great, YAY," script.
The BBC fetish got its start in America, but I have no idea who's keeping it alive.
It is deliberate.
They want to stereotype blacks as intelligent and harmless in media to get people to believe that they are the same in real life.
It is the same reason why the villain is always White, the angry racist is always White, the incompetent piece of shit that fricks everything up is White, etc...
Meanwhile the genius gearhead/techie/scientist is black, the person who provides sage wisdom to help the protagonist is black (the magical Black), the honorable and chivalrous crime fighter is black, etc...

soul
they put in what they have to work with, language, food and le epin "tradcath family values". sure it makes me angry it's the same stupid clichés but one can understand they aren't going to study politics, historical events and detailed metropolitan maps just to give characters slightly more fluff that is only understood by .001 of the playerbase that understand the references.
RIP Queso Blanco miss you cabron
Ever talk to mexicans? They really do be like that
I look like this and sound like this.
Jackie was actually a very cool character but his screen time was way too short to really miss him after he dies. Dude dies after like 3 hours of story and you're supposed to miss him like you knew him forever.
I have read an interesting theory that before they decided to hire the wholesome chungus Keanu and create Johnny Silverhand the initial idea for the plot was that Jackie's mind gets written into the chip that ends up in your head. This makes sense considering that Jackie narrates your questlog.
Jackie narrates your questlog until his death, after that Johnny does it.
I can see that idea but I'm glad they went with Johnny. Jackie is a pretty simple character and very similar to V in motivations. Johnny adds some edge because he's intensely charismatic but also extremely egotistic and it takes a while for him to realize how badly he fricked up everything in his life. Adds nice narrative conflict and seeing V and Johnny become more similar to each other is kinda uncanny.
Johnny is there to show you WHY people endure what they endure in this world.
He talks about "making it big" until his last, like the good little gaijin that he is.
Yeah, he shares the same motives with V and thus would be quite redundant in an engram dynamic. And all the endings of the game are about V being forced to leave their old life behind and becoming a new person, abandoning that dream so they didn't need a second character to spell it out.
Yeah, I was surprised how bad all of the endings are, not in execution but in the outcome.
I was familiar with the setting's tone so I knew it would be bittersweet at best, tragic otherwise. I'm glad they stuck to the route and I don't understand why people complain about the new Phantom Liberty ending, it's really not "the worst ending" by a long shot. Possibly the most positive even.

fricking hell
I will make a movie featuring true to life Latinx representation, including
- white supremacist browncels
- suspiciously Semitic looking Spanish nationalists
- whiteboy hating Latinx women
- reggaeton

I wish we still had ones that were cool folk stereotypes instead of a Californian’s vision of minorities. I’d rather play as some Zapata looking fricker than Dora the Explorer
it was an accurate but toned down representation of latinx
they are literally all like that, like every single one of em
>Pendejo!
No one cares because everyone here has met a Latino person that actually acts like Jackie. Plus there were really no overtly negative or offensive stereotypes about him. And there were a shit ton of other Latino characters that didn't pull this act. Everyone's favorite lesbian in that game is Latina.
I'm still seething over not being able to lez out with Panam.
In the Spanish version of the game it's actually cool cause the regular characters (and player character) all speak European Spanish, but the Latino characters like Judy and Panam speak Latin American Spanish with Mexican accents and slang. Very kino.
Panam is supposed to be Native American Indian not Latino. Which is weird because I've never met any Indians that look like her. In my head Panam is black or mixed race black. She even sounds like a black woman.
I internalized Panam as being a black latina, its what she seems to be, regardless of the author's intention.
>us blax folx are just like you in every way and capable of everything 😉
>nooooooo we can't be villains or pussies nooooooo only whites are villains and pussies nooooooo
Judy voice in the Spanish dub is pure sex.
Thats pretty cool
I like him
If I buy a white suit and a white hat, and walk around the shitslums and dirtfavelas of Latinx America - will I be welcomed and protected and be shown the sights? I will of course build wells and pay my fair share of white jidzya to the local warlords. And of course I shall stimulate the local prositution industry with a stipendium. It is the least I can do amigos sobra saõa joão
Literally picrel
Unironically really?
Jackie is pure Sovl
But it fits the setting. It's full of stupid or over-the-top slang so it's not surprising that a cyber-Mexican would speak like that.
you get what you deserve
What kind of latinx name is Jackie Welles?
