The Video Game Critic

[QUOTE=Oltobaz]I gave you two main protagonists and one major supportive character (FF 13). Token examples?[/QUOTE]

Sure, one Vita game, one bit of DLC, and a game released in 2009. Out of the hundreds of games released every year, that's less than a drop in the bucket. More like a single hydrogen atom in the bucket.

They're good games, but they don't represent positive change by themselves.

The Vita game got rereleased on PS3. The DLC main protagonist in Black Flag id also a major
character in the main game, and the DLC he takes place in deals with slavery. It's not just a DLC, it's
a progressist DLC All three games belong to major franchises which have portrayed other communities
in a positive fashion, beyond just the Black community. And it's a good thing FF 13 came out in 2009. See, things started
to change even earlier than that. Read on.

The first Ass Creed main character isn't exactly a wasp, Ass Creed 3 sports a native american (imagine that)...
People are so used to whine, alright, how about the Streets of Rage franchise? Fighting games like Street Fighter,
Tekken, etc... ?

Things are headed in the right direction alright, this will only keep going. It's only natural. It's just a matter of perspective,
I guess.

Olto,

I'm sure we're more in agreement than we are in disagreement. We at least both agree that more diversity is a good thing and that games as a whole are improving in this regard! 

Thanks as always for the discussion

Vexer - if my posts make you "groan" then don't reply to them. Ignore my posts and I'll ignore yours. No problems.

In other news slide show list articles suck and are a pass to look like the author took their time to make a productive writing that could have taken less than ten minutes...

No they don't suck and are not a "pass" for anything, that makes zero sense.

Your obsessive dismissal of valid complaints is really grating.

It's one god damn page per example, there's something called a list, look it up.

I'm with you.

I can't stand slide show web sites.  You see something, click, page refreshes with new ads, click, page refreshes with new ads.  They are great for websites for generating additional ad dollar.  But for reviewing content they are terrible.

To the actual forum post, I still kept my original Nintendo Powers with the claymation Mario 2 cover from back in the day.  The rest of my EGMs got tossed but I still kept those old Nintendo Powers.  Great stuff.

I got game pro in the 90s and some computer gaming magazine for a while after that. I thought they were awesome! Fat and full of reviews and previews and super exciting to get. But I haven't picked one up and in last 15 years and this is the only gaming website I look at. Lol.

I'll let y'all argue about race and gender. Just try to not bog down the thread guys. Lol.
