You do relies GTA is produced in the UK, right? It pokes fun at America in general. New York (Liberty City), Miami (Vice City), Los Angeles (Los Santos), San Francisco (San Fierro), Las Vagas (Las Venturas).Haerthan said:Still skimpy outfits and really annoying physics for Dead or Alive.inmunitas said:snip
America isn't based on how it is portrayed in the media, it is a freaking parody of the American dream and the Californian lifestyle. Yay one game in the series totally demolishes my argument. No it doesn't, as there is still the remaining issues with the other. Again ONE EXAMPLE doesnt erase the overwhelming majority.
Assassin's Creed and historic settings have never meshed properly in my eyes. I mean come the fuck on "First Civilization enslaves humans and we rise up and defeat a superior civilization"? That is even worse than the American myths regarding their War of Independence, fighting the English single-handedly. The only Assassin's Creed even remotely historic was the first one. Before they lumped in the whole BS about Minerva/Juno/whatever the fuck they are called and even that has issues with regards . If you take a look at European history you will see that women did have rights (granted not compared to what we have today in Europe and the West) and some were able to get power and some even lead armies. But hey "historical setting" in case of gaming is just a byword for "I want games to pander just to me, so I want grizzled white males gargling rocks with a submissive female clinging to his thigh".
Have we learned nothing from the idea of absolute statements? If we look at historical studies, the ideas that spawned from the 19th century are all wrong. Europe was in contact with the Ottoman Empire, which spanned from south of the Danube, to Poland and Austria (minus the Romanian countries of Muntenia and Moldova as they were vassal states after 1601) to the borders of Ethiopia. Borders were far more fluid back then today, so the idea of controlling borders with absolutely NO LEAK whatsoever has always been BS. Globalization has been a force since the late freaking 15th century, when the first colonial empires rose. Hell America is learning that the hard way right now (well past 15 years anyways). SO black people were present in Europe, as traders and soldiers. Again there are enough historical records of women achieving power in the West to put to rest the idea of women having no rights. Same with art and sexuality.
And in Warhammer 40k yes they are human, since they were born human. Their augmentations happen when they are teenagers. They would be a new race of humans if they bred and gave their augmentations to the next generations. ALso if you look at the lore women can't accept the augmentations (stupid Games Workshop, get some fucking biology lessons) because of the missing Y chromosome (what a retarded excuse- but at least they made it up a bit with Adepta Sororitas or my favorite nickname Nuns with Guns). So breeding wouldn't have happened. Also guess what: the Space Marines are asexual, as in they feel absolutely no urge or desire to have sex, having it removed during their training and hypno-indoctrination.
Also the whole "All the other games I haven't played cause they aren't that good" just shows your ignorance on the matter at hand. You played some games that you call "diverse" and believe that the trouble is solved. No it isn't. That is just the status quo. A status quo that has been in place since the freaking 80s, after the freaking crash. And I blame the publishers for that shit. And now that new segments of gaming are coming up and say that they want better representation,people like you fight for the status quo, which btw isn't that nice if we take a good long look at the community.
Hell a news report just popped up about Star Wars first canonical LGBT character (canon is what Disney says it is- not what your headcanon says) and guess what the comments are like : "OMG a lesbian" "diversity for diversity's sake" and ad naseum. So yea.
At least some publishers/developers are starting to see the writing on the wall and see that the white male teenagers aren't actually the majority of gaming anymore. Hence why we got Blizzard asking for criticism and listening to it. I'd rather play Gone Home than another bland piece of crap Call of Duty 2015 premium Battlefield Edition (yes I would- I really liked Spec Ops because of the inversion it had on the genre).
Edit: wall of text hits for 90001. Damn today I am really pissed off. I don't think I slept properly last night.
As for your history, it's way off base, American's can't even get their own history right never mind anyone else's.
