Resident Evil 5

Domus · 03-13-2009, 10:52 PM

I've heard many different reviews, some good and some that call the game just sad. Yet, here's something that I found on yahoo about the game.

Resident Evil 5 in race storm - Video Game Feature - Yahoo! Video Games

Do you think that the game has racist problems?

**Booyakasha** · 03-13-2009, 11:45 PM

No. It's set in Africa, and most of the people in Africa are dark-skinned---maybe they could have skirted the 'this is potentially racist' controversy by making everyone in the game white or Eskimo, but I think that would, in turn, have stirred up a 'this is completely f*cking retarded' controversy.

Demonicus Prime · 03-14-2009, 01:58 AM

There's black people in Africa? What?

**Loot the Orphan Shover** · 03-14-2009, 06:41 AM

Hey, we killed the Spaniards, why not the Africans? Equality for all!

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed · 03-14-2009, 12:00 PM

Zombies aren't black.

Their ZOMBIE!

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed · 03-15-2009, 08:40 AM

Again, remind me to kill my friend.

Wow, really? >_<

Black Belt Tazy · 03-16-2009, 11:09 AM

Those people calling the game racist are racist against zombies.

Zombies have feelings too. Usually the feeling of your brain in thier mouth, but still feelings nonetheless.

Metal Man · 03-16-2009, 03:47 PM

They clearly should have made it take place in South Africa.

PandaFan :3 · 03-16-2009, 06:30 PM

There would be no controversy over this game if it were an African man shooting people in Germany.

Demonicus Prime · 03-17-2009, 09:27 PM

I have more of a problem with it's quality than with the fact you shoot black people. I know that sounds bad, but what color skin do native Africans have?

Invalid Username · 03-18-2009, 07:52 PM

It's in Africa. Of course you shoot black people.

Now, about the actual game, those dogs with the faces that split apart are hard to kill.

Kil'jaeden · 03-23-2009, 08:29 AM

I would figure things like Grand Theft Auto would get flagged for racism before this.

You would think?

Throbbing Mob · 03-23-2009, 11:05 PM

You'd have to be a total dumbass to be griping about this ****.

Think about it. The main character is American. The main audience is western culture, or the east Asians fascinated by it. Blacks, Hispanics, Aboriginals, anywhere you go in western culture - they are a minority. So you make the main character white, if you are actually considering race issues, so from a selling point it has a wider chance to identify with the majority of its target audience.

Anyone who thinks you wouldn't be shooting black zombies in a Resident Evil set in Africa has no idea what Residient Evil is like. It can't even be racist, anyway. We already spent the first 4 games killing white people, *******s, but none of you complained then.

Someone tell those dip****s that they're the racist ones, because there was no outcry when we were killing white americans or europeans. Did it not occur to them until the zombies were black that they were supposedly once regular humans?

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 04-13-2009, 02:15 PM

I have gotten into this game quite a bit. Although, it was on Amatuer with Infinite Ammo. And I had Items from previous playthroughs. And was playing Co-Op with someone who already beat the crap outta the game...

So it was pretty easy for me, but I love the game anyway. It is no RE4, but it is certainly a good game from what I have played.

Oh, and sorry for the bump.

Logic, hell no! What the f*** are you thinking that would be to easy.
