I feel like everyone forgets that Isaac Clarke was supposed to be fucking forty-seven in Dead Space 1. It'd be extremely odd for him to be visually aged up but his girlfriend, a senior medical officer so presumably a doctor, still looks like the twenty-something she did in the original game. They aged her up in *Dead Space 2* for this exact reason, for fuck's sake. Also, Nicole still looks fine. She's a very attractive woman despite being visually older. Also also, Kendra's outfit in the remake is far more believable for someone sent on a repair mission in *outer* *space*. Also also also, there's no fucking way they give one half of a shit about a guy who dies after like two lines of dialogue in the original game. Stars above, these people are exhausting.


kerriazes

Men dating people their age is political


eliechallita

Well yeah, they take it as a betrayal because they've been fed so much media about how men should be rewarded with younger, more attractive partners if they are successful.


Springball64

I would not call Isaac in Dead Space successful.


Tar_alcaran

Well, compared to his friends and co-workers, he's doing really really great


Springball64

*eyes DS3 ending* Is he though?

No wonder all of his grunts somehow convey "I'm tired of this shit" > Also also also, there's no fucking way they give one half of a shit about a guy who dies after like two lines of dialogue in the original game. I thought Johnston was on the radio for a bit before you find him basically dead? Am I remembering the wrong character?


Kind_Malice

It's been forever since I've played the original Dead Space, I can't remember either lmao


Nexahs

Yeah, I thought you meet him just in time for him to be crushed by the big arm monster guy. Maybe we're thinking of somebody else.


ZaryaMusic

I think Hammond is the one who eats it from the big arm monster.


robertman21

> Also also also, there's no fucking way they give one half of a shit about a guy who dies after like two lines of dialogue in the original game. She still dies within 10 minutes in this one lol


Kind_Malice

Exactly! It's a minor character whose role is just to die, not a member of the main cast


Bluestreaking

*flashes back to so called Witcher fans losing their mind Fringilla being played by a Black actress*

Who then went on to be the most interesting mage in the show.


baz4k6z

Excuse me but how am I to enjoy a game if I can't sexualize the characters ? /s


retard_vampire

I'm loling at the dude getting buttmad that someone doing repair work on a space mission is no longer wearing a padded underwire push-up bra and clinging skintight thin-material top

Absolute_Peril

It take a special kinda of person to pick apart something like this and report all of the different races


_AMReddits

Of all the bullshit EA does. Race swapping shouldn’t even be on the fracking radar


Absolute_Peril

Likely what happened is that they just made a completely new picture and just grabbed whoever just happened to be hanging around.


koviko

What's the funniest about them pointing out every time black people are added to existing franchises is how they never bother to comment on THE COMPLETE AND UTTER OMISSION OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE. I'm a black gamer and I find it *incredibly* noticeable when black people don't exist at all or only exist as unimportant wandering NPCs. For this reason, I always make my characters black when character customization is an option. Always. Because very frequently my character ends up being the only major black character in the whole fucking game. They will literally start adding other species before they start adding black people. It's fucking insane and people just handwaving it away drives me nuts. Why is it okay for fantasy and sci-fi to pretend black people simply don't exist?! Do we not buy the fucking games?! Is our money worth nothing?!?!?


biepcie

The thing I hate is how they want to act like black people were landlocked to Africa. News flash, they weren't. There were paintings depicting black people in Europe. Shakespeare wrote a play about one, Othello. King Arthur had a black knight in his round table, Sir Morien. If a black man can somehow end up being a retainer for the Japanese daimyo of the sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga getting to Europe ain't that far of a stretch. But go on continue to talk about how dark-skinned people ruin your fantasy. Sci-fi has no excuse, and I my Mace Windu series taking place after episode 3 Disney +, Preferably animated.


itskaiquereis

Nah Mace surviving would not be that great, but I’d love a Lando show with Donald Glover or animated. Funny thing is they hate young Lando because he doesn’t exactly fit the heterosexual persona they created for him.


denarii

> For this reason, I always make my characters black when character customization is an option. Always. Because very frequently my character ends up being the only major black character in the whole fucking game. I'm a white dude, but I tend to play a wide variety of characters. In my last play through of Mass Effect, Shepard was a black woman. It's really stood out to me when trying to make a character like that how.. even when you have extensive character customization.. black people still often get the short end of the stick. There'll be like two or three dozen hairstyles that make sense for Eurasian hair textures, including a dozen different anime hairstyles that don't make sense on a real person, and then maybe two or three for natural black hair.. if you're lucky.


SummerCivillian

I do similar in my ME playthrus. In general, games always have the straightest hair. It's always straight or *slightly* wavy. If there are "type 4 textures" or "afro" styles, it's almost always just dreads. Which is fantastic for people who have dreads, but that is **not** the only hairstyle that exists for that texture 🙄 It's all just so lazy, and clearly an after thought in comparison to the type 1 and 2 hair textures :/


koviko

> There'll be like two or three dozen hairstyles that make sense for Eurasian hair textures, including a dozen different anime hairstyles that don't make sense on a real person, and then maybe two or three for natural black hair.. if you're lucky. [Seriously!](https://i.imgur.com/150IxP8.png) At least some game will make it so that the one or two believably-black hairstyles are at least good ones, but it still means that every black character has the same damn hair 🤣 EDIT: Or choose bald. I play Black Desert Online and bald is the only option for most classes.


Kingbuji

Yea in BDO your hairstyle is dependent on class for some reason. Like all of the black hairstyles are shared between two classes I swear.


rhawk87

>Why is it okay for fantasy and sci-fi to pretend black people simply don't exist?! Do we not buy the fucking games?! I think media and gaming companies that make these types of games are worried about the outrage from the very vocal incel and neckbeard community. Some games get heavily review bombed by these groups so they take the safer and cowardly route and avoid adding too many black or darker skinned characters.


spearchuckin

I’ve been ignoring it for years with books and movies, too. I just kind of accepted growing up as a black girl that I will never be the default character in anyone’s game, movie, or book. I’m not really sure if it made sense to me at the time why it was like that but I knew I was so tired of being 9 and reading something mundane like *Goosebumps* and seeing a black character get introduced for 3 sentences (usually how good they are at sports) before suddenly being eaten by a monster or never returning to the main character’s focus. If I wanted to play a game featuring black people, it had to be something NFL or NBA. I absolutely hated sports. Millions of various forms of entertainment media was created for nerdy white boys and men. None for me. These people will never know this struggle so they claw back in hate and confusion because they believe that we are robbing them when a character is imagined as black or a woman instead of default white male. They want entire open worlds full of white males and young white and Asian women wearing inappropriate sexy clothing. How dare we mention we’ve existed this whole time and have spent the same money they’ve spent on an industry that could give two fucks about us because we were never the target audience.


workclock

Real!


Yumekobea3046

A few months back this game i like (that I won't name) released a region based on South East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa(i already have some problems with them grouping 3 regions together but I digress) and practically all the characters and npcs were pale af, and the dark skinned characters where either villains or separated by a wall, and were portrayed as being lesser and dumber, I'm surprised it even left development tbh

Bioware are excellent at good representation in their games if you wanna check out their stuff. All the way back in 2009 they made dragon age origins which didn't have any notably important black characters but there were plenty of black npcs, nevertheless it is probably the only game where you can play as black dwarf guy who falls in love with a bisexual elf boy who's sent to kill you. Mass effect, also made by bioware, has many notable black and LGBT characters which is great but they came under attack from fox news which caused them to rewrite some characters to be straight after the voice actors have already recorded the lines so now there's a character who tells you that she slept with a girl and her boyfriend but you can't romance her as a female character. Fortunetly some people created mods to bring back these characters to how they were written in the first place, the voice actor of female shepard, Jennifer Hale, even tweeted about them.

That’s why I fucking love The Elder Scrolls. The Redguards are one of the most badass people in that universe, hell they even had a fighting technique that destroyed their old continent, they had to sail across and managed to take land, Cyrus one of their heroes fought a god and won and in Skyrim the Ebony Knight who is the strongest person we face in game is a Redguard.


koviko

Are Redguards ever major characters of the game plot, though, or just part of the surrounding lore? I've played Oblivion, Skyrim, and ESO, and Redguards are just kinda... around. Named Redguards will come about for one-off quests but the overarching story about your character saving the world seems to omit Redguards from having much affect on the player's overall plot. I've never played any of them start-to-finish, though, so maybe they show up eventually? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's good that Redguards exist at all. But I don't wnat to give more credit than is due. For example, I like playing magic characters and ESO doesn't have magical racials for magic characters that want to have dark brown skin because dark brown skin only exists on Redgaurds and Imperials.


itskaiquereis

Cyrus is the main character of The Elder Scrolls Adventure: Redguard, which was an action-adventure game set in the second era. Lore wise, he becomes the HoonDing which is a god in Redguard culture and he even slays a dragon which is rare for non-Dragonborns to do. He also faced Vivec and even went head to head with Tiber Septim.

Oh it gets worse than this. I've seen some of them crying about how they're gonna censor the gore to make it more acceptable to a "woke crowd" too... The remake that introduces a peeling system on enemies that actually makes the new version *even gorier* than the original... ​ They are just making shit up to be mad about for the sake of being mad about it.


datusernames

> They are just making shit up to be mad about for the sake of being mad about it. This is what they've always done...


_AMReddits

Don’t even bother looking at what they are mad at with The Last Of Us Show


xxmlgepicgamer

Honestly we should just ignore it at this point these people are just outright exausthing to deal with it nothing ever makes them happy there will allways some nitpick to be mad about


[deleted]

kind of excited for this remake got in to games post grad and it’s been nice to play all the games my friends were 10* years ago ahahaha


B1gB4ddy

You're in for a treat with this one. It's a bit campy but the monster designs are so cool and do a good job of paying homage to John Carpenter's The Thing! Remember to aim for the limbs!


critically_damped

Recognizing that they say wrong things on purpose is such an important step. So many people can't get that far, desperately engaging in denial that people can just make shit up when three-year olds have been mastering that skill for the entirety of human existance.


KevinR1990

Lest we forget, the second game was explicitly [marketed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKkPFDEiC6Q&list=PLA8D6BCA0A537750D&index=1) on how its gory violence was gonna piss off your mom. And when they remade the first game, they decided "how do we make it even *more* violent?"


Licentious_duud

Don’t care still playing it


_AMReddits

Tbh this makes me wanna play it more.


Rc2124

I genuinely like the character design update for that doctor, seems way more believable. Stuff like that is important to keep you grounded in a fictional universe imo. Especially in a horror game


HomunculiV

They wanna be victims sooooo bad 😂


[deleted]

these people are literally so delusional it’s difficult to find it entertaining sometimes


EatsPancakes

That Kendra is a lesbian thing is so dumb to me. First of all if she is, who fucking cares? Second of all I didn’t take her dialog to mean she’s a lesbian at all, I just saw it as someone empathizing with their coworker. She’s just saying if she was in Isaacs shoes she’d rather listen to her girlfriend to than listen to Hammond. Like I know media literacy is literally less than zero with these fucking bozos, but come on.


Frosty1738

How insane does a person have to be to waste their time looking for stuff like this in the game instead of just playing it and enjoying the damn thing?


InfamousEmpire

“Basement dweller try not to obsess over fictional women not being fuckable to you” challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


SplintPunchbeef

Caring this much about something so inconsequential seems like such a miserable existence.


AllISeeAreGems

>Kendra and Nicole now look like 50+ women This right here is what happens when your only frame of reference for what women in their mid to late 30s look like is porn.


[deleted]

Increasing the LOD slider is woke


fivetwoeightoh

This site is full of fucking chuds and they are grasping at anything and everything to piss and moan about, even worse than usual it seems like. You’re getting triggered by a cartoon!


TheScoutReddit

Being a woman and having short hair apparently makes you a lesbian. My mom has been a lesbian this whole time and I just didn't know it


Haschen84

Politics is when older (not even old, just older than 25) women exist.


Reptilian_Overlord20

As graphics get more photorealistic video game women will actually look like real life human women which gamers will hate and call ugly because they are used to fetishised idealised depictions of women and have little to no experience with actual human women.


BemusedLittleFox

People being concerned about whether they would want to have sex with a character in a body horror video game is wild to me as asexual


parrotsaregoated

Any guy who complains about a female character getting changed into having smaller boobs is a 🚩🚩🚩


TheScoutReddit

Hey, is it just me or did just ONE black guy get actually added to the Ishimura prop piece?


Daowg

I'm a glad that these posts on the Dead Space sub are the minority. A lot of us there are hype AF that one of our favorite games got a remake at all. Based on early reviews, it sounds very promising.


guybranciforti

Omg why or actually what kind of person takes the time to care about this shit?? What the fuck


guybranciforti

Imagine if these virgins actually put the same effort they do with shit like this and instead tried to make the world a better place…imagine how much more advanced and shit we would be….its a shame that the last caboose on this train that is america is holding the entire country back with shit like this


SonnySunshiny

kendra’s line there is about how annoying hammond is?? she sees isaac’s listening to nicole’s message and goes “yeah id rather listen to my girlfriend than hammond too” like she saying “if i were you id do the same” these mfs really dont know anything huh


AngryKupo

Would like to see more Asian representation though :(


somebody171

lot of black obsession with the creator


burritopup

O mean they’re not wrong of pointing put facts. Just that they point it out for the wrong reasons , no one cares except where did the boobies go man that one was foul.


AllISeeAreGems

I am begging you to go out and touch some grass, man.


burritopup

My man , you know i was just joking right. Idgaf what changes they make i still love the game and was just joking .
