Current Events > It is official. Black people in video games is racist.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The strained diversity of the cast may just be a sign that Ubisoft, like a lot of the game industry, is starting to make some (occasionally awkward) efforts at inclusion.

I imagine to more sensitive people it would feel like your boss put up Nigeria-themed decorations because you, a black person, are attending his dinner party

more or less the same feeling

that being said to complain about it as VICE is - it's just stupid

its official: some guy at vice wrote an article

Thats such a fucking stupid article

Why not just go outside if accurate demographics are that important to you?

Oh wow. Far Cry 5 got hate on by an uber liberal. Fucking shocking. The end of the article actually sums things up pretty well:

But it is symbolic of a deeper issue: Ubisofts seemingly low estimation of the kind of America that gamers are willing to see. In all of the press for the game, the Far Cry developers have stressed how much time they spent in Montana in order to make it authentic going fishing, looking at the landscape, having beers with locals.

But anyone who has lived in America would recognize the country that appears in Far Cry 5 as inauthentic. Its disappointing that realism in this video game was not limited by graphical limitations or writing talent, but by timidness.

Basically, the game should be full of racist white Trump supporters and your goal in the game should be for you to kill them.

Far Cry 5s ham-fisted appeal to diversity via dumping black characters onto the screen is not offensive, per se.

The game isn't realistic.

You literally just havr to hold the stick in one direction and you run in thst direction. There should be 30 buttons to control the individual muscles in your character's legs.

Reminds me when people accused L4D2 for being racist as it depicted black zombies

Same with that resident evil game set in Africa

Like a user in another topic said, if the game was "realistic" then by the end of the game you could have killed half the population of Montana.

You can't win with SJWs.

"Not enough black people in this game!"
Developers put blacks in.
"Too many black people in this game!"

Maybe SJWs will learn people don't want diversity. What sells is what always has sold and will always sell.

So all the cult members/enemies that you fight in the game are black?

Basically, a French company badly misinterpreted a 'Murrica!' theme.
That's all that's going on here.

That is not and was never the theme of that game.

People will always complain, about everything. You can't please everyone.

Remember that wave of proto-SJW bitching from 2009 about the black enemies in RE5 and L4D2 that completely failed to acknowledge that the vast majority of enemies in the previous entries in both of those series were white?

I'm guessing because that's considered like the default/norm

What probably happened: the devs got lazy and didn't bother to regulate spawn rates for NPCs so everyone has an equal chance of showing up

there's also a lot of Asian characters but no one is bringing that up

there's also the ridiculous abundance of post-1986 fully automatic weapons and trucks with turrets mounted on them

What's the exact right percentage of black people in a game for SJWs not to complain?

This. There's like 20 models for enemies in the game at most (and I'm being extremely generous with that figure) and it spawns them on a rotating basis so you don't see too many of the same enemy. He'd have a valid complaint if these enemies were hand picked to spawn in the exact proportions that they do in the game, but they don't, it's just random.

The complaint is that the game is overloaded with them when they're minorities irl. Not really sure what to make of that

But when we don't have black people in a game where the setting wouldn't have them, it's racist...

I've seen so many people cry about Asians and blacks being in Edens Gate. Makes me think their mad Far Cry 5 wasn't the conservative murder simulator they all got a boned over last E3

*also*

If the complaint is that there are not that many black people in Montana, the game flat out says that Edens Gate started somewhere else and relocated to Hope County (implied for the nuclear bunkers)
