Keep telling yourself its alright to butcher a series in order to sell more units :roll:

And I am talking about the fact I do not get to shoot only porch monkeys.

Whats your point?

And here is why the game doesn't have blacks only.

using race to categorize people is racist.swazidoughman

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]Re5 shows how a game series can completely abandon it roots in order to sell more :(ECIRA1876

Who cares? The issue here is that instead of just getting to shoot down the black beast we have to waste bullets on Asians and the occasional white person.

This is a travesty of epic proportions. I am going to have to run around avoiding all the white people and pretend they are only attacking me because they caught jungle fever from living next to a bunch of black people.

----------------------

What annoyed me more about the complaining is if it was any other race you'd not hear a word. Black people though? Oh hell sound the alarms.

Nothing againt skin colour, I just get annoyed at how certain individuals act as if the world owes them someting all because my great great great (am i in the right ball park? give or take a great? :P) grandfather decided to enslave theres. You can ride a bus and not have your own special seating area can't you? So get over it, we're all equal now stop crying and acting so morally outraged when i don't pretend to care about your skin colour.

That's not the TC. That's a troll.

Except it's not butchered. RE4 was hte most popilar out of the series as far as i know. It made the most money and was the most popular. Why would capcom give a monkey about you wanting the old, broken version back? Move with the times, game series doesn;t change and you call it a copy and paste, re2.0 they completely rework it and you cry anyway.

You wouldn't be happy no matter what they did so why try.

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"]I didnt kill any white people in re5 only Africans and Muslims, I dont know what your talking about ECIRA1876

Really? that is great news.

I am really looking forward to running around as Chris "Aryan Barbarian" Redfield and slaughtering the black hordes.

People who are racist are always looking for an excuse to be racist, like this loon in here. Resident Evil 5 in its original form would not have changed anyones perception anymore than RE4 did of spaniards.

well ECIRA, I won't be crying any tears, because I'm simply not emotionally invested in your racist remarks. I just hope you know we neither stand for nor tolerate such commentary from anyone. I'm sure your mess will be cleaned up soon enough. as for Resident Evil, people should worry less about who is who. The demo I played had plenty of people of color. If not having 100% chocolate faces to shoot at will stay your hand at the moment of truth (in the videogame store, deciding against buying the game), you will not be missed by the RE community. Fire-of-Njozi

While I deplore bigots and I am glad his comments were deleted, I must say you take yourself WAY to seriously. You honestly think you speak for everyone here or the "community"? grow up :lol:.

People on the extreme of either side irk me.

Anyways back on topic, I am somewhat sad this thred even exist. I do not think it is going to be an issue at all, most people in the demo appear to be at least somewhat dark skinned and fit in with an Africa setting.

I would totally respond with something, but I dont want to derail.

Its not fair to say that a game with crazy white spaniards trying to attack you is going to change your assumption less than a game with crazy black african people in it. The only reason it would be more severe either way is because you are racist yourself.

[QUOTE="Fire-of-Njozi"]well ECIRA, I won't be crying any tears, because I'm simply not emotionally invested in your racist remarks.

Well I do not want them openly posting hate speech but I do not care if they are bigots, everyone has a right to believe what ever they want. So long as they do not try to force it on anyone else.. Sorry if reality bothers you but racist exist in large numbers and always will. The world is a diverse place for better or worse.

Once again, get over yourself. The world cannot always be your perfect little vision buttercup.

If all you are saying is you wish for them to not post hate speech, that I can agree with. This is a gaming forum afterall and there is really no need for that.

In short, you wanted his posts deleted, but had a problem with the fact that I pointed out that you, I and the rest of us didn't feel his comments needed to litter our forum? Having a world full of racists doesn't mean they, therefore, should be afforded a place on our forum. They're not a special interest group that needs a lobbyist to help them get more rights. In reality, my comments simply reflected the reality of the Terms of Service that we all agree to when we sign up. Racism is one of the many things this site does not accept or tolerate from its posters. for any reason. no matter what the reasoning or rationale is.

so again, why are we even having this discussion? and as a grown man, I don't really see a need to "grow up" more. I furthermore don't think requesting people post with respect to their fellow posters makes me less mature than others.

this conversation about RE5 and what people perceive as Capcom's placation to some random blogger in cyberspace can be had without the extra crap. agreed?

Also its funny you're complaining about the RE formula while you have a Mario avatar......

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="kage_53"] They already abandoned it with RE4. Changing up the gameplay was just a new way for Capcom to milk the series even more.kage_53

Also its funny you're complaining about the RE formula while you have a Mario avatar......

Lewisite you are wrong, he was a racist, now stop.Synthetic_NinJI

And that matters because? He was wrong because he decided to spread his garbage on a gaming forum that has no place for that. He was not wrong because "he was a racist". There is nothing wrong with racist and bigots or anyone else of any belief for that matter posting here. The issue comes when they post offensive material.

That was my entire point all along, I think I misunderstood Njozi in that regard and for that I apologize.

Who the hell cares? so you want to kill just black people? Well your not racist or anything......gsus. Eyezonmii

sometimes. a lot of the time. but not all the time. I think a lot of times, that anti-political correctness crowd misses the importance of it. unable to see the gains for being focused like a laser on the drawbacks. Fire-of-Njozi

[QUOTE="Parasomniac"]There's white people in Africa you knowps3_owns_360Wii

when the first trailer went up and running, lots of people thought it was racist and such, but in crackdown its alright for a black to kill chinese, whites but its oppsite when a white is killing blacks its wrong.:|

then we can agree to disagree. I've found it has an important role to play. Then again, people these days don't understand the power their words carry. Young people in particular.Fire-of-Njozi

Words don't carry power beyond what people intuit them to. Reactionary attitudes are not practical and shouldn't be encouraged. They only have a tendency to inspire victimology (see also: Shartpon, Jackson).

And if anything, it's the senior crowd that's most fed up with PC. Not the youngsters.

Seeing a guy you would expect on the streets of Mexico City jumping out at you from a bathroom stall somewhere deep in the boonies of Africa *really* takes away from the immersiveness. Sure, there are ethnically varied people in Africa but MOST of them are you know... Africans. It would make sense that the majority were black. But noooo... people cry "racism" against a game trying to be realistic and Capcom can do nothing but prevent silly lawsuits and other fanfare.foxhound_fox

so. maybe it's not the game that needs to change, but people's perception of the African continent. Food for thought.
