Thers a hut section? hmmm, i stopped playing when I got to the dude with with the chainsaw and sack over his head. That game is not racist period, we actually still have huts in alot of places here, but thats not the point.
 
The story is based off africa..

So it would be rare to be shooting 30 white people for every black person.

The huts are not the problem.

The problem is that all the inhabitants of those huts are now wearing tribal masks, loincloths and chasing you with spears.

The ones pulling the race card and see racism everywhere are racists themselves. How about you stop seeing everyone as a color of their skin and just see them as people? Who cares if there is too many black skinned people in the game or lack of or whatever, just play the damn game.

Thats an argument I have all the time in OT and P&N, and no one ever listens to me.
I'd recommend against trying it here, before this thread gets moved to P&N.
 
dude if it bothers u that much..

Mod it so its green people instead of black people.

Then you wont feel so bad shooting green people who dont exist on this planet.

But then again.. i dont see them as people... i see them as infected!

I don't see how this is a huge problem, there used to be tribes in Africa, and there probably still are.

The Mitch Hedberg skit comes to mind now...

"People say 'I don't care if you're black, white, purple, or green.' Purple or green? We've got to draw the line somewhere...TO HELL WITH PURPLE PEOPLE...unless they're just suffocating, then help them!"
 
1. Its a game. You don't have to play it.
2. The game is set in Africa. (African Americans are the majority DUH)
3. Why should there be more whites then blacks??
4. I need to get rid of my fucked up sig apparently.

they are Africans not African Americans. lol
 
IMO, the OP got so badly owned already, there's no reason to add anything, but if this wasn't the case, I'd continue by owning him some more...

I go by the thought that you can't logically discuss something with an illogical person.

BTW I agree with both you.

/thread


EDIT: So I also wondered, does the OP and Craig234 not watch any television, say a dirty joke with buddies, go to a strip club with buddies, etc. because I can see people with this mindset say those are or have many things that morally wrong yet I doubt they go home every night and read a book so just stare at the wall. Its kind of like the video game rating system. You should already know ahead of time whats going to be in the game and be able to tell yourself its just game (or your kids for that matter). You are more concerned about how many black folks are in the game then about the fact that you killed thousands of people during the course of said game? Give me a break.

Don't preach about cursing for example being bad either then allow your kid to play BF:BC2 single player then cry about the harsh language other user use to talk to each other in chat. Get the fuck over yourself.

One of scariest places I can think of is an African country like Liberia. In video below you can see war lords talk about how they and their soldiers would casually eat babies as well as their enemies after waring naked on drugs. Even Ravenholm looks pretty good next to a place like this so I can see why a country some countries are scary game settings ethnic/racial stuff aside.

How can people really say this is racist after years and years of killing white zombies, come on guys. If you really think this is racist, I would say your racist against white people. If you would rather brutally murder a white zombie than a black zombie then you clearly don't like white people. I really don't mind what the color of skin the zombie thats trying to devour my flesh is, I'm still gunna shoot it! 😀

I have no trouble Shooting Zombies, if there was clear indication, that the target has been zombified.

THE problem with RE5 is, this piece of art direction is missing.

The zombie idea is only hinted AT by the plot. It's the feel of the game that is terribly wrong.

It doesn't seem at all like I'm killing zombies, It just feels like I'm killing an endless string of regular 'angry" black people.. THAT IS THE PROBLEMM..

THE VISUAL PRESENTATION of the game IS GRUSOME and borderline unethical.😱
