Da fuck?! She was the worse part of the game. And she's just such an awful representation of a black person, practically every negative stereotype roled into one. She's serial criminal with an absent deadbeat dad who's incredibly selfish and inconsiderate. She constantly avoid any responsibility and only bother helping the people of the new world she end up in when she find out her mom came from there.

They really only see the skin colour when they look at character, or they never played the game.
That part we all know is bullshit. Frey sure as hell did not get a warm reception, with good reason.

Well when you look at who wrote the game, not a single one is black.


Although nothing against them, as this is on Square/Luminous Productions for lack of foresight.

Yahtzee, you're not weird for missing loading screens, but I really don't need see them again. The less loading, the better. BTW, Oneechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad, has a loading screen mini game. It came out in 2006 (released in US, UK and Europe in 2009). So they squeaked by Namco unnoticed. DMC 3 has a a cool mini game where you can slice up the "now loading" font in the left bottom corner of the TV. This feature is lost in the HD ports unfortunately.

I think you could still have "stop" screen or something like that, where you would have to press a button to proceed. Its nice to have a natural point for break, run to bathroom, grab snack, stretch your leg or w/e.

Most games technically do that already. Most from late 7th generation, 8th generation, and now They'll have the loading bar, and then it'll have a press X button to continue/confirm. Whenever you start Resident Evil 4 Remake, and continue from the main menu, it will do its loading, and then will say press whichever button to continue based on whatever console or PC you're playing.

No. I am glad Max points out it's good to change up the music, and can't always be the same remix, alternate variations of the same themes over and over again, or just all rock and techno.
