The reason people rightfully assume it's score tampering is because the "Eant to see" % went from like 90 to 30% in the span of a week as soon as the subject of a boycott came out. Furthermore, it isn't consistent with CinemaScore -

https://www.cinemascore.com/

...So, no, I don't really believe RT audience scores when it's easy to vote brigade them. There's a reason people typically don't trust online polls in any other context.


Wow so Han Solo has the same score as a Tyler Perry move high bar for quality there.

Cinemascore is so unreliable, I have no idea why people use it as a bar for anything.

Keep Rian Johnson far away. Mr. "Subvert your expectations" is not what any established series needs

I liked the LotR films really didn't mind most of the changes (some still annoy me), Hobbit was awful though.

No way would the Hobbit work as a single film.

Personally I find his complaints about Disney "whitewashing myths" to be pretty lame, if you can't watch Snow White without screaming that she doesn't fall for the same trick three times, then it's lame.

Like all the stuff he put out though aside from the Simarillion (interesting but boring bat the same time) and Christopher's new books are actually pretty good.

He compares his feelings for Big Boss to Quiet and Eva's.

Describes torture as intimate, which he gets his taste for when watching Big Boss.

Is "lost in fantasy thinking about Big Boss" when talking about how "he really is something else" during MGS3.

From which Volgin tells him to stop thinking about Big Boss because that kind of thought keeps you distracted.

The script for MGS3 makes it really explicit.

Which you didn't explain, because you aren't bothering to actually talk. If you did maybe people would understand your points.

You went to the last tweet in the chain I linked to nitpick it. It was pretty obvious I was referring to the first ones that display absolutely zero fucking realism.

But why am I not surprised that the user whose entire gimmick started with racist shitposting on the Skyrim board is so upset about this


Ohhh skipping the point again.

Authenticity is important.

You wanna know why I feel this strongly?

I was talking to a 11 year old relative who didn't know about the segregated military. Which is funny considering my grandpa was in the first integrated unit.

Forgetting the past is horrible, we don't need a generation who doesn't realize the US didn't hold people equally.

WW1 wasn't even 100 years ago, stains in history need to be remembered, and whitewashing something simple like media leads to the populace.

So yes, authenticity is important.

And by the way, yeah that's that guy's point

"It's, like, not even about the history anymore"
"With female soldiers Battlefield is abandoning realism"
"It's totally rewriting history!"

Because he doesn't think history should matter in the game's development.

So I'm not missing anything.

Which you didn't explain, because you aren't bothering to actually talk. If you did maybe people would understand your points.

That guy's whole point is "lol history" though.

Saying authentic doesn't matter. I explained why it does.

There are obvious points where gameplay mechanics have to come in. Implementing a realistic wound system (which while I would love to see it in a game) is extremely difficult, and to make things fun it's all simplified.

There are acceptable breaks. But sorry metal armored soldiers, prosthetics behaving as well as normal hands, beating people to death with cricket bats, and so on are too much for me, for something meant to be authentic.

Ever play Valkyria Chronicles? There's a race of people there that are described as smelly and greedy, with dark colored hair to distinguish them from the cast. They're placed in suicide units and often called racial slurs by even the main cast.

The fact that what I just described could describe the anti-Jewish sentiment going through Germany as much as it does the fictional group of people in the game, shows just how subtle game developers can are when it comes to this subject. If it's gonna be that black and white then it's better left to the imagination instead.

Ironically, CoD WW2 had a black man in the team (described as transferred at his request), and the most they did with that was just show expression that "they let guys like him fight". They also touch on the Holocaust, if ever so briefly. If you're wondering why nobody's bringing these up months later, it's because nobody thought either move was as impactful as the people who were advocating it thought.

If you want fantastic racism depicted in WW2, watch a movie or read Night. Nobody funding this game is gonna risk losing potential buyers just because DICE felt that they HAD to have all white squads to appease the internet commentators who were never gonna buy the game anyway.

https://www.polygon.com/2017/4/26/15438184/call-of-duty-wwii-trailer-reveal-diversity

Playability is the special obligation of interactive entertainment in telling a story, an obligation that movies like The Guns of Navarone or The Longest Day dont face, even in hindsight 50 years later. A lot of different people are going to play Call of Duty: WWII. Just because brothers of different races didnt fight alongside each other doesnt mean that players in the year 2017 shouldnt inhabit and absorb all their experiences.

And that's what it's all about. Playing the game for enjoyment, and taking and sentimental value that the developers try to throw in there if we want to, not indoctrinating people to feel a certain way.


Alrighty

First off, Japanese devs are never good with subtle stuff. And Yakuza and Metal Gear are some of my favorite VG Franchises. (Although actually some touches are pretty great, like Ocelot being gay which is done well without loads of focus)

It's not impossible to write a good story for a video game, seriously we are past the point of having crappy stories.

Wolfenstein:TNO approached the subject well with details even making a character with a swastika tattooed on him a very sympathetic character. And that's not authentic at all.

Valiant Hearts also dealt with the discrimination pointing out America didn't even use their black soldiers, having the black characters under French command even with the simple and storybook esque story, it still allowed authenticity.

Why is it impossible for Battlefield to do well?

You are stuck on this point, where you keep arguing they couldn't do it. Why not?

I would have purchased the Premium for Battlefield 1 had it been authentic, and my friends who were also dissapointed would have as well. So there are people it appeals to. I purchased the game and was dissapointed and they were as well.

Nobody said to cut black people from the game. I want the troops to be authentically segregated, some maps are all black. Others all white. I also don't want full autos spraying everywhere or metal armor that blocks bullets either.

I want an experience that feels like WW1.

We're literally just cutting out everything she did between 2004 and 2012 here, the years of her come back. There's a reason she's the highest profile non-X-woman in the comics, and it's all to do with how she got her life back together after the House of M. And that bit about the incest and Rogue putting her in a coma are basically the same story. Her encounter with Rogue was Marvel's editorial staff trying to bury a politically toxic character plot by writing her out.


Politically toxic?

Those events were years apart, and no she's only the "highest profile" because that's what they have been pushing. Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Black Widow are all bigger Avengers.

Nothing she did then was interesting either, she doesn't have really memorable stories just "I'm an alcoholic because I realized I'm a failure, time to never correct myself" she's flat and boring, go through old topics here even. Legitimately nobody cared about her, now they hate her because of the push.

Her comics have failed multiple times, and she gets outsold by her newly introduced successor.

Dude SJWs will never be happy. If you don't show the racism, it's white washing history. If you do, it's racist itself. There is no winning.


That's basically what that guy is doing.

He's basically saying only two options are

1. A 8 hour campaign of a white guy screaming racial slurs not stop at a black guy while both do chores.

2. A campaign where everything is white washed and segregation never existed and white and black soldiers happily work together to fight their also racially accepting enemies.

I do remember British soldiers being out of uniform with katanas and prosthetics.

And the woman in the demo beating Germans with her cricket bat is very clearly British she's literally going "ello mates" during it.


Nothing you've just said contradicted what you quoted.


Really?

That was authentic British army?

You and I have bery different ideas of authentic then.


You're getting all worked up about a non-canon co-op mode.

I'm referring to this

https://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/44540/content/small_battlefield_v.jpg

That's the actual British and German insignias for teams. The HUD looks like an even cleaner version of BF1, as they hinted. A white guy wearing goggles, totally out there too.

They already said Tides of War is over the top on purpose and will feature hypothetical scenarios, such as your dear British Kahana wielding grandma.

And wielding enemy weapons is weird? Did you not watch Letters From Iwo Jima?

And AGAIN with the Harlem Hellfighters. They're mentioned in-game by the enemy as being scary as shit and one of them narrates the campaign. Would you prefer a campaign full of white people calling them the N-word because hey, that's probably more historically accurate?


Oh so, no you have no evidence about them being authentic other than an insignia?

The stuff shown in that demo the screen cap is from isn't authentic though..... Huh isn't that weird.

Yes, I did liked the film actually. But um.... Real quick here, where were the soldiers getting the weapons from? From their enemies right?

So uhh, where exactly did that British soldier fight the Japanese only a few thousand miles away from the Pacific?

Really fucking authentic there.

And you know what is hilarious, there actually was a British commando who used a broadsword and a bow and arrow during the war. Except get this, it was what he actually had and not a weapon thousands of miles away.

I don't want a campaign of a white guy screaming racial slurs at a black guy, but I would have preferred a campaign showcasing them and showing the discrimination that was present at the time, then showing how much they did during the war, and with their territory gains it would have been fun.

You know an interesting delving into a subject in history that would be authentic and teach someone something. Not "lol look at this American dude pew pew planes yeeee the Allies did nothing wrong ever!"

If that's what you want fine, but it's not something I or many people want, and history and authentic stories are far more interesting.

No, she's just a boring character and incredibly inconsistent since every writer attempts to make her interesting.

Superman actually had interesting stories, his recent rebirth run with his family is great.

Still her most memorable stories are boning her "son", getting knocked into a coma by Rogue, and Civil War II (famous for when she told Magneto to get over the Holocaust)

Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, and angry Hulk are all stronger than her.

I believe Iron Man even has wins.

Look, if the game developers aren't trying to make a serious, accurate portrayal of WW2 (gameplay liberties aside), then don't shit on their game for not being something it isn't trying to be.

I just hope that the sides here are consistent on other topics in games. Like sexy, busty female characters. If you're in here saying "So what if they have a female character with a cyborg arm? Just have fun.", I don't want to hear you complaining about how impractical Ivy Valentines big boobs and bdsm gear are. Vice versa for the other side complaining about how unrealistic it is.


Devs literally compared it to Saving Private Ryan during the preview.

They keep mentioning authentic, and that's what I want.

Game physics and mechanics are a different thing, that's an acceptable break. I know we have to have health bars, but we don't need British soldiers with pink camo running around with Katanas.

I hated Battlefield 1 too, and what a waste when you look at stuff like their marketing on the Harlem Hellfighters who actually were a cool unit with history that approached how the US discriminated.

On the other hand, I own all the Wolfenstein games and enjoy those, those are clearly not real and goofy. But that's the difference it's not trying to be something with any authentic feel, but they still approach topics with more care than Battlefield which is hilarious.

If you are going to break, go all the way. Do a Inglorious Basterds style and market it that way if they want.

Did a bit more reading about this so called "WWII". Turns out the Allies were massive SJWs. I'm pretty shaken.


And here's the exact problem with this, the danger here.

The US had a segregated military, threw people into camps based on their ethnicity.

People are starting to forget that and it's important to remember that it wasn't too long ago, it's not impossible to show the segregated military during a war video game.

They already mentioned one of the playable characters from the War Stories campaign was from the Norwegian resistance, which is historically accurate

The teaser trailer showed real British and German accurate armies

Tbh people are getting worked up for no reason


"Accurate"

I do remember British soldiers being out of uniform with katanas and prosthetics.

And the woman in the demo beating Germans with her cricket bat is very clearly British she's literally going "ello mates" during it.

I don't think this is the argument.

A disabled woman being on the front lines of WW2 being shown seriously is the problem.

Nobody has a problem with Soviet Snipers like Call of Duty did, or women in the Intelligence branches or in the French Resistance ala Medal of Honor.

Hulk can't even regenerate limbs, if he gets decapitated or anything he's done.


This isn't true. He's flat out regenerated a ripped off head.

If you put The Hulk and Doomsday on a planet and let them fight, they would destroy the planet before finishing each other off.


Nah. Doomsday would die way before that.


Alrighty

1. You need to provide a scan for that, and not from a non 616 comic. That really goes against a lot of what is claimed regardless as he has never been able to regenerate lost limbs.

2. Pretty sure Doomsday would adapt to Hulk

I keep hearing that he is insanely powerful and cant be beaten. Even if he was crushed into microscopic dust, he could regenerate.

I know nothing about him, so what's up.


No he would die long before that.

Hulk can't even regenerate limbs, if he gets decapitated or anything he's done.

He's strong and can get stronger, but he has limits. He's not going to become Gurren Laggan, his best feats are planet busting stuff.

which is the historically accurate campaign like in Battlefield 1.

Like the Australian guy that singlehandedly took over an Ottoman fortress with a bolt action rifle and a nice hat


Based on a Mel Gibson film.

what game is this topic about


Battlefield V, if you want a "Saving Private Ryan" esque game that features a disabled British woman leading her squad of katana using out of uniform troops against the Germans (No Swastikas here) then you have your game.

The Battlefield 1 cover was a member of the Harlem Hellfighters. An actual WW1 Unit.


And the BF5 teaser trailer already show the actual British and German armies in the game as period accurate. Hell, in the reveal they said the girl on the cover was from the Norwegian Resistance or something like that.

The_Ivory_Man posted...

Too bad they barely did shit with that and didn't even act like armies were segregated in game.


They segregate, they get shit for being tone deaf.

They don't segregate, they get shit for being.....not accurate?

CoD WW2 ran into the same shit and in the end that ultimately didn't matter to the people actually playing the game, I doubt that'll change here.


Except they didn't do that, they showed a disabled British woman in charge of a British squad, which happened to use katanas as wepaons, while not wearing correct uniforms.

Valiant Hearts received praise for the way it handled it, why would they receive hate for showing it correctly and making it a point?

Imagine a campaign centered on the HH which showed how the US discriminated before France used them? Showed what they did?

Would have been great.

Instead we get crap, that fosters a horrible view of the past. We need to remember that segregation was not even a century ago.

I'm not going to bother going through now since it's late, but that exact Q&A happens. I watched the whole thing live.


I linked to the timestamp. It's 41 minutes into the video.

Maybe Trevor Noah asked the same question twice?


You didn't timestamp it correctly then my dude.

They fit in logical ways, nobody complains.

Battlefield V throws in a disabled British woman leading a squad into the front lines.

People dislike that, want something else.

"WELL ALL THOSE SEXIST GAMERGATERS HATE WOMEN!"

Why is this the case?

The fact the woman gas a cyborg arm could be why people are upset.


They already said that part was from the hypothetical history co-op campaign, did anyone actually watch the reveal


Why does it being from the campaign make a difference?

Doesn't that make it worse?
