this is clearly part of an agenda.

to get racists upset about their game so that they make a bunch of clickbait videos and spread word about the game.

people who aren't racist will hear about this "gamer" "controversy" and learn more about a game they would have not heard about before.

good job helping with the marketing of this game, racists.
all for a game that's gonna kinda suck anyways...

Remember when GTA: San Andreas was announced and how people cried and screamed about having to play as a black character IN A GAME SET IN FICTIONAL 1990'S COMPTON!!!!

When you keep citing BUT THE ANIME as a testament to his supposed popularity, as if I didnt already address that several times already, then naturally Im gonna stop paying attention to that.

I doubt people will remember the Yasuke anime as much as Afro Samurai.
Right but how is that relevant? So what if he wasn't as well known as some people think he is? Does that mean he can't or shouldn't be in an assassin's creed game?

Yasuke is pretty well known among enthusiasts of that era and place of history but not much is known about him, which literally makes him perfect for historical fiction with a loose connection to historical accuracy.

How much you wanna bet he didn't flip shit like this about Valhalla having horned helmets and claymore swords? If it really is all about historical accuracy then that's even more egregious than using a well known of but largely mysterious historical figure as a main character.

I'm finding the game pretty playable if I turn on AFMF (fake frame generation, looks smoother in exchange for (negligible, to me) input lag) in the AMD software thingamajig. Performance is still pretty crap in the cities, but at least that's not where the action happens, but it's fine when traveling and fighting which is the meat of the game. Already I like it more than the first game.

You're probably safe unless you're stupid about it like Yuzu was by selling cracked copies of games. If Dolphin can keep going strong for 20+ years with barely a whiff of legal trouble you're probably fine to continue.

Add to that none of the stories really relate to each other. The Crimson Fleet shouldn't want a high ranking Navy Scab as a leader (or vice versa), and neither the UC or Freestar Collective should be okay with you both being a Ranger and you being a high-ranking member of the navy when they were very recently at war with each other. Heck, you can be a high ranking member of the UC Navy, then explicitly betray the UC SysDef to lead the Crimson Raiders, and it's just like... fine. That is not something that should just be ignored. And none of these relate to the overall story, when they so easily could have. Think the game would be so much better with a Fallout 4-esque "You need to choose one faction eventually" to the story, and then you could get a bunch of Freestar Rangers, or the UC Navy, or a bunch of Pirates to help you in the final level when you go confront The Emissary or the Hunter. It also would have made the New Game + lead up with the Starborn stuff a lot more interesting, because there's a lot more that could vary from one playthrough to another.

The disconnectedness is one of the worst things about the game to me. It's so obvious that every questline was made by a different person and none of them talked to eachother. The main story especially has no relation to anything. Nobody in the settled systems cares about Constellation or what they're doing. Nobody cares about the artifacts because nobody has any goals, interests, or ideologies worth furthering and fighting over. Nobody wants anything in Starfield, everything about it is so depressingly apathetic towards everything else.

The game was kind of average, but this is a massive exaggeration. The game's worst aspect is it's bland and boring. It's still playable.
The game doesn't do anything wrong, but that's because it doesn't do anything in the first place. It's offensive how hard it's trying to be inoffensive. They could not have made a blander experience if they wanted to, because the goal from the beginning was to be as bland as possible so there'd be nothing to criticize. At every seam you can see Bethesda's cowardice seeping through.

If they could have gotten away with not having any written dialogue or story they probably would have tried, because what writing there is in the game is god awful.

It is one of the worst games that has ever been made. There is no salvaging it. Everything about it is terrible to the core. Patches and DLC and mods cannot fix Starfield. Its problems run far deeper than just technical performance and bugs.A "fixed version of Starfield" would have to be an entirely different game with a different structure and a new setting.

not only that but! I think some fanservice, some jokes, and some filler go a long way towards rounding out any story and making it all more believable and authentic. it can't be all serious all the time. even at the lowest points in my life I still took a gander at a nice boob here and there. I still wasted time doing nothing. I still tried to make myself and others laugh at the right opportunity. sure you gotta save the world from shinra or whatever happens in the game but you're only human and your party members are really hot.

That kind of thing does actually happen though. That is the lived experience of many people. Why should it not be fair game to make a video game about a common lived experience? Especially if it's a game set in the real world modern day?

I miss Deep Space 9. Back when Star Trek wasn't so woke and political. The closest it ever got to being political was when Rom stares directly into the camera and says with a straight face "workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains". And when the only trans characters were in the frontline main cast and brought up their gender frequently as it bore relevance to the plot and their personal viewpoints.
