MegaWarp has an article that examines the various complaints about the supposed obnoxious racism and sexism in games.
"There was criticism about Resident Evil 5's abundance of native African zombies. This complaint is actually entirely baseless.
Since Resident Evil 5 takes place in Africa it makes perfect sense that the zombies are predominately of native black-African lineage.
......
Games in general are not all down-to-earth and usually stretch people's imagination.
Improving the overall quality of video games and entertainment in general is not merely adding lots of minorities with unbelievable role mixing. People should not get preferential treatment if they have ethnic-minority or gender status (the minority is actually the majority), because this by itself creates discrimination and sexism. Big government and representative organizations should not meddle or dictate the content of entertainment."
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times
The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
This article is very poorly written based on multiple fallacies. The racism and sexism argument are not made in relation to movies. Whether movies are more or less more racist or sexist is inconsequential; the question is whether these videogames are racist or sexist at all.
When people argue that RE5 isn't racist, they always turn to the "buh but, it takes place in Africa!" argument. These people miss the entire point. These people justify their argument, saying it's okay to kill Africans because the game takes place in Africa, but the people who claim RE5 is racist believe it shouldn't take place in Africa at all. Being "the birthplace of civilization" or whatever explanation Capcom has is no justification. (Edit) We won't even the reference to "Birthplace of a Nation."
Your argument against racism in X-Blades is just laughable. To think it's not sexist because to make her any more realistic would make children want to emulate her is ridiculous.
And none of this is to say that there is racism and sexism in these games. It's just that your arguments are very very poor.
Edit: If you think a game is racist, that's fine. If you think a game is not racist, that's fine too. But please, stop it with these lame arguments for either side; it tires me.
