Support NeoGAF

[Dolomite]

Next up, only criminals should be able to develop grand theft auto.

I mean.... I'd play that game

 

[Aure]

All the more reason to buy this game and support this company.
Mental illness, scumbags and degenerates. This is why stopped reading gaming media outlets since 2012. Fuck them!

 

[Portugeezer]

Amazing Jackie Chan gif.

I'm dead bro

 

[Oddvintagechap]

who cares that some care so much.

Why dont people understand people need to have hot useless takes. They need views.

 

[tommib]

No dummie, this only applies when white people do it. Only white people can be and definitely are all racist, after all.

Asians can be racists. They're white adjacent. Please keep up.

 

[Perrott]

I laugh at these cocksuckers calling themselves "journalists"...

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I think those who are working on that team are there because they have the skills to work on the game they made. But that is now racists?

Since I am from Central America, if I make a brown character and only hire brown people for the game, will be my game racists too?

 

[Umbasaborne]

How long until REEEEEEE bans it to the shadow realm, like they did harry potter and cyberpunk

 

[SLB1904]

I am sorry I am white. I will try to do better.

you piece of shit

 

[tommib]

I laugh at these cocksuckers calling themselves "journalists"...

As the resident gay man in this house, there's no need to offend cocksuckers by calling them journalists.

 

[Lunatic_Gamer]

Progressivism is a mental illness. It infects and corrupts everything it touches.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Thanks for listing the websites. Now I know the places to avoid

 

[Stitch]

Amazing Jackie Chan gif.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Fuck it. Ima buy a copy now. Was gonna wait until later to pick it up but screw it

 

[MiguelItUp]

Just ignore it. The news cycle will wash this away. Just like with GOT.

Exactly. The folks that share the same garbage opinion will echo it on Twitter, and will eventually grow silent. I don't want the developers to apologize, and I hope they don't. I mean, how would they?

"Hey, sorry we made a game that revolves around martial arts and Chinese culture while not having Chinese employees on the team."

That sounds ridiculous. Man, I hate people. Raging drama queens that want to be over dramatic about something. Christ, get some hobbies and/or put that wasted energy towards something beneficial.

 

[Dthomp]

I remember when Vidya games were supposed to be a way to relax and get away from the real world. I miss those times. I read this shit and it makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth...

 

[Thirty7ven]

Honestly? There was no need for this martial arts brawler to be Chinese inspired. It was a bad call, because it adds nothing to the game, and in fact the game would look more badass if it just look European.

I'm also in favor of Asian devs not being able to make western inspired games. Sorry, lol, yup good luck.

 

[Danteyke223]

I responded to one of them and immediately got blocked , no swearing no name calling just me disagreeing that tonal inconsistencies do not make a game racist

 

[mckmas8808]

And how many of those "Gaming Press" are talked about much?

 

[Barakov]

Yeah, you'd think after Ghosts of Tsushima this would have been universally scorned, but nope, games journos gotta keep at it:

This is the new standard for what passes for game coverage now. Apparently if you want to tell a story you have to make absolutely sure now you have "consultants/experts" on your story to makes sure its safe for the wokesters.

Funny though, the "expert" cited in two of those articles above, Khee Hoon Chan, apparently has some interesting takes:



Or you can always expect a Kotaku "expert" to chime in with valuable insight too...

I'm picking this game up just to piss these people off.

Yeah European kung fu is awesome.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

What the fuck is wrong with some of these people? Why can't white people make games about what they want? Oh and why is the game considered racist?

 

[Nikana]

Me too.

Fuck off. This is my thing.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Well, I need to apologise.
I am white AND french….
Sorry….

In France I don't think we have a law that impose to have any percentage of people of Color at work.
You can't discriminate a candidate for his/her color, religion, politics, sex orientation etc…

If you think you have been discriminated, you can press charge and go to a court of justice but you need to prove it (might not be easy)

In my line of work (retail) we don't have any problem with this.

 

[Raven117]

Like clockwork.

If something is popular...people will find a way to inject their politics in it.

If this game was a bomb...nobody would have said a word about it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Also I realized one of the concept artists on the team is Chinese. So, uh, good research on their part, lmao.

 

[CGiRanger]

Yeah European kung fu is awesome.

That reminded me of this film I saw a long while ago with Jet Li taking on French Kung Fu guys lol

 

[Kilau]

Asians can be racists. They're white adjacent. Please keep up.

They put the Asian in Caucasian.

 

[EviLore]

Imagine giving the time of day to the National Enquirer every time they sensationalized or fabricated a non-story. However, in the video game scene, we give trash gossip blogs written by legitimately deranged individuals the power to shape discussions and even industry outcomes.

Ignore them and enjoy the game.
