Damn...

It was like THAT around here?

You're surprised? It's still like that in a lot of places on the internet lol.

 

[MHWilliams]

It's always about "artistic integrity" and letting the developers carry out their vision until it's something they don't like, which is almost always diverse main characters.

Wrote a thing about that... last week?

I find that when these discussions happen online, "creative freedom" pops up when the changes being asked for are those the commenter disagrees with. It's intended as a hammer to shut down speech. In turn, when that commenter wants a specific change, they have no issue demanding that it be made. We are all customers or potential customers; it only makes sense to offer our input into the development process. But it's disingenuous to say the creator must be unfettered only when it's not beneficial to you. I'm sure there are those who prize pure creative freedom above all else, but I've rarely found them when it comes to discussing entertainment. Most feedback is a statement that something could be better if only it was done this way.

how many people really played mafia 2 though, wasnt it mixed results?

the dev wants to clearly go a new direction still based on the mafia obviously.

One of the things i remember is listening to the radio alot. Enjoyed the game overall but a change is welcome. I just didn't think the change would hype me up this much.

Well that's enough racism for one day. The veins in my arms are starting to tense.

Looked into the hair thread aswell and it's crazy.
The 100% rate of changing the subject into some other weird dumb thing continues.
I want to stop going into these threads but can't help it sometimes.

People need to read this guy's posts in the mafia thread. He is hilariously unaware of his racism:

Yeah. What do you want from me? You want to label me a racist? Go right ahead, then you are closeminded.

I also hope Black Pete stays forever just to spite salty ppl like you. Kids love black pete.

Wrote a thing about that... last week?

It's an especially laughable attempt to shut down discussion when you consider that this and other video game forums would cease to exist if we never questioned the artistic integrity of developers. It's only when representation is brought up when questioning developers becomes verboten.

His post defending that is even better:

The only black community that takes offense to it are americans.

Americans should worry about their own traditions before looking at other countries.

The Black Pete is racist shit has only begun a few years back. Before that you never heard anything about it.

But honestly this is not the thread for it, but I didnt bring up black pete.

Also I never constantly said Im leaving just that one time. Sadly people keep calling me racist im gonna post on ot cause I dont agree.

If anyone wants to take it up with me go by PM then, let me not shit up this thread worse.

I want to see how far he goes.

It's more of me realizing how many people just can't handle it when they're presented with differences in race. It's making me uneasy.

So far, everything for the past year has been

There are no black communities outside of America that care about racism.

That's me every single time.
I should just go back to just checking out the couple of well established Gaming communities i followed before i joined without the crazy.
Fuckery happening is not a matter of ''if'' just ''when'' in those threads.

Damn you!! I was setting up for good ol Pete, and you pulled the rug out from under me lol..

When I saw where he was from, I knew one of you guys were gonna go for the jugular, lmao.

 

[zeemumu]

And he made a new thread too. He's trolling, right? No one can be that foolish, right? RIGHT?!

 

[D i Z]

The main character in Mafia III is black y'all

let's see how folks defend their 'I can't relate' posts in a Mafia game

I'm all over this. Finally something worth looking forward to.

Thank you 2K

I didn't even know he was in the other threads defending it, but I'll be lying if I said I was surprised. that struck a nerve with him.

Don't think he learned anything either and seems to have gotten worse as it went.

Hey man, racism's fine as long as you make it fun for the whole family.

I can feel it in the air folks

times are changing

Things are just cycling faster due to the exponential jump in the speed of spreading information. The major shift is happening so quickly that the people getting left in the dust are trying to hang on to what they already believe because change is hard. But you have to change.

But in which direction?


Part of me feels like the next 20 years or so it's going to be real reality check for lots of white people, but I also feel like things have a way of backsliding, even when it seems like they shouldn't.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Well hell, this will be the first Mafia game that I buy.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That Mafia III thread has to be the only thread I've seen with so many moderators posting in it. I wonder if Aeana will show up.

Looks mighty fine.
That 30min speedrun of the older one was one of the crazier speedruns i've seen.
Trying to keep up with the ninja skills on display.

I like the faster combat in this one. And she doesn't pick up a single gun which is exactly what I wanted.

I'd be down for another game in the Cybertron series too as long as it doesn't try to link to the Michael Bay-verse.

Was expecting those games to be shit at first but they were cool. I was sad to find out the newer one was not like the war of cyber-like.
