Let me save you a couple minutes if you went into the comments section before watching the whole video. 1 - Dude is bitching at the story being bad but he skipped it. 2 - People are mad that Korea is a different culture and that they don't blackwash every character. 3 - A bunch of loser started a petition, not realising that Hoyoverse main markets are the asian markets and that will have literally no impact on the Korean culture. 4 - People on the internet don't seem to know that most asian country didn't receive the huge of amount african migration that western countries have and that reflects on the cultural and societal norms.
You misrepresented a lot of his points tho, its fine to disagree but don't intentionally convey something different from what he said and then say that's what it was
I left the game several times but always came back every few months to see if things improved and was constantly disappointed. FInally uninstalled after playing wuwa then trying to play genshin, everything just felt so much worse and slower. Finally glad to have a permanent replacement and just hoping wuwa devs don't become complacent like the genshin devs
As much as I like to say that I love genshin the company just forces me hate them with their questionable decisions. Such a sad reality because I genuinely like genshin.
I mean that's me for whatever I like honestly that has anime induced heavily into it you know but Some companies or people sometimes genuinely just don't like or want something I think and feel personally because I've seen it first hand 8n gaming alone but I'd never go around crying the race card or trying to cancel someone that is or whatever it just sucks when it happens as all I'm saying.
Nope. If I want to make a game based/inspired on Japan but I make all the characters mexican because.. why not? Not racist. Simple as that. Mexican samurais? Cool. I want my medieval knights in a british based game to be black, it's fine. Not racist. Could it possibly be? sure potentially. Is it likely? No. Now if I asserted it as historically accurate or an accurate representation or some way of claiming this is how things are factually and thus flat lying. That'd be a bit of an issue as now I'm perpetuating a lie. If you want whatever you want in your made up bullshit world, go for it. It's not grey. It's common sense. also isn't anime, that unique art style apart of another country's culture? So if I drew a black anime character to look like myself, am I culturally appropriating? I am taking an artstyle commonly associated with fair skin and now applying my own color to it. Now what if I draw a series based on japan and i make them black, is that appropriation? or is it Only appropriation when it's light to dark rather than dark to light? I mean art is part of culture. It'd be odd to pick and choose what can and can't be appropriated, and if one does, where's this agreed upon list? What if I draw two nations, one based on africa, the other on europe, but all the african based people are white and the european based people are black? Am I being racist now? After all I took everything from those cultures but the skin color? Is it racist to be hyper fixated on the pigmentation of fictional characters? Where do I draw this dumb ass line in these scenarios and every scenario I or anyone reading this could possibly come up with? Kind of run into a lot of problems when you take make believe as real and then act as if fiction must abide by reality in addition to one's own moral or faux moral compass. Also like what if China's culture is radically different than say mine in the US and they look at race waaaaay different. Is it racist or w/e to assert my worldview on to China and expect China to bow the knee and do what I think is the right thing (let's say my hypothetical position is) and just make the characters darker? Is that really tolerance of other cultures? or is that tolerance of other cultures as long as they align with me and not being tolerant of other cultures in how they are different than what I accept? Ie 0 diversity of thought. What if it's not even race? What if it's nationality? Is it wrong to cry racism when it COULD just be nationality? what does that make the accuser? There are just so many questions when you entertain retarded logic. So again this is all common sense unless you want to go into delulu land where now you have all these questions to quibble over and solve AND never ever come to any kind of agreement as a collective.
Cold take: if you want your voice to be heard, just whale harder than chinese/japanese players. Why would a company listen to the region who generates very little revenues? 😂
I don't understand what's your whole point of this rant about hoyoverse games like bro if you don't like the game don't play it. Hoyoverse games are catered to a specific demographic (casuals) that you aren't part of to begin with. Why are you mad about about the way they want to cultivate their gaming experience environment for players? Is it that big of a deal? Can't you just respect the devs decision ? You are complaining to developers of hoyoverse like a baby to his mom requesting for a treat like bro cmon you are an adult its a video game at the end of the day. If you aren't having fun look for other games that cater to you. I don't like FPS games but that doesn't mean i would rant my personal complain to everyone else who likes those fps games using my platform (the audience which the game is catered towards). its hoyoverse choice who they want the game catered towards, Why has that become such a controversial thing in the gacha space? Why so much hate going after a company creative decision ? Are devs not allowed to choose who they want the game made for? A wise quoute for you: "A game for everyone is a game for no one, Always cater to a select audience". Hope this quote helps 👍
What a trash take. How will companies know issues in the community if people dont air them out. Its because of people like you that the game is in a bad state
It's just a Kuro Games propaganda channel, don't take it too seriously as it's not really meant to make sense, bros just doing a job which is to pump up everything his contract wants him to and in turn pour shit on the things he's asked too. It's just too blatant at this point that this is part of Kuro Games CC program. There's at least a dozen of them out there with about a 1/3 of them suddenly stopping posting any content in the last month and at least half of them starting to pivot off of the gig. Maybe something changed recently with the marketing approach for Wuthering Waves I don't know, but the point is these are not serious channels with neutral takes. There's an agenda here.
I've seen it first hand in some games personally and in ones I mean where you can literally make whatever characters you want in a game and has actually intriduced dark skinlike characters somewhat of being the main lead role of something rather there protag or antagonist. It's nust people who f8nd the main demographic being light skin characters that they prefer over too so much that everyone forgets or not care about any other kind of characters preference in style.... All the things I'm talking about have been from some kind of MMO btw and it's just sad and petty really because in the game I have played it doesn't matter what color your character is really because there is a lot of mid, and ugly basic looking characters in game from pale white, you name it etc... It all just comes down to the type of creativity someone has in making such a good cool smooth character. Lots of cool black characters, Japanese characters, and many other styled characters I saw in game of this MMO I forgot the name of sadly that I envied so much I had decided to make my own with such inspiration, I had decided to just make myself in game and be myself instead mainly, well at least 25% of myself maybe 😅👌 I've never been this comfortable to actually try and make myself in a anime or Japanese game before because most were lacking such creativity materials for so long I had gave up on them you know? I would always hear people talk about games needing to be better and whatnot but it was all meaningless to me so it didn't matter of going on strike for it anyways... But now however I finally feel like I can easily weigh in peacefully or gracefully for that one game where I can make myself and mellow in peacefully... A lot of people may not like the game, I get it, I understand but don't care personally for what they think lol no I'm living my best moment right here finally... A long time coming it took... It sucks and I feel bad for those who may never have that look or chance as was always talked about in gaming for better looks or etc.
I tried playing Genshin Impact when it first came out but uninstalled it after a couple of hours because of Paimon. Looking back, I'm happy with that choice
7:41 talking about how good the story in the game will definitely be influenced by the tastes of each player. one of the parts in the story pgr said “but any story made with sincerity will always find its own ‘readers' " and I totally agree with that. so I never have a problem with people calling a game story mid or bad, as long as you enjoy it I think the story is still worth reading.
AC shadows is basically Ubisoft trying to promote that Yasuke was a 'real' black samurai when it has never been confirmed and most evidence point of him being just a servant. After many Japanese people came out saying that he's not a samurai, the developers called them racist. Then we get a war between people claiming he's a real samurai vs. people who said he isn't. This whole debacle came from a book written by a british white man that made his whole book about how Yasuke was a real samurai but written as a fictional novel. He even edited the wiki page to promote his book. Guy got outed because of this drama and the University he worked at in Japan kicked him out and they erased all his work because he was promoting misinformation of japanese history as facts. Now the government is involved because Unisoft has stolen real assets and using it without permission. This game is getting in trouble and it's not just because the game tried to to promote that this black dude was a real samurai, there are other legal issues too.
The issue not only Yasuke a samurai but also perverse it with gay love + dread lock hair + hip hop music + using iron club and they claim it historical and represent. He represent not even African black but American black. Try turn it around a Japanese with top knot hair + knight armor + cutting foe down with morning star in Africa or Europe + anime song and he free to love anyone even "underage" (I say that cause gay in other culture would be as red flag as going after underage) then claim it to be historical and represent. Even thinking about it make me cringe.
The best way to understand what people like me that come from these cultures is, "We love everything about your culture, except you". When there is a bad interpretation of asian(specially chinese) deities and myths in media or videogames, people outrage, but when people like me complain, people who have been consistently called the most vile things just because of my skin color and my beliefs, then we are told to shut up and deal with it because "They're a chinese company, obviously they won't make a black character because the character is chinese, plus, it wouldn't be believable(ignoring the fact that it's a world with magic, dragons, monsters, etc)". And the worst part is, I don't blame the artists. The color palete of many of these characters was made for darker skin tones and it fits better when the skin tones were changed with some edits, but it was most likely executives that told the artists to change the skin color of the characters because "it won't sell(it will)".
Lol bad interpretation of Chinese deity getting angry are a joke. Have you know how much Japanese manga, anime and game goes batshit crazy using history and deity of China they even change sex of Guan Yu a deity worship to school girl and no one care or Western feature Monkey king or Avatar that base on Chinese myth. No Chinese complaining it as young one mostly accept the anime and game from Japan while older generation does not consume such media.
Good that i quit genshin a buncha months back and it was the best decision ive ever made (im on verge of quitting star rail and alr quit zzz because it was boring as hell)
I never spent a significant amount of money in genshin but I’ve spent hundreds of hours on lore, quests and exploration to point where I just can’t put it down because of the amount of time I’ve put into it I’ve analyzed and fully invested in the story and when you get deep into the lore it is absolutely incredible.. however even compared to HSR you do so much work for very little reward and in that regard HSR is better. I play genshin for the yapping and for the lore, I like to read but that’s just me
Def a little racist on their part. A lot of the heat could be avoided if they were using the cultures and NOT putting any darker skinned characters in their games. Then it could be easily waved away because Hoyo would be known as the company that only uses light skin models. But they have no issue adding darker tones and varying hair styles and textures to NPCs (especially villains). So at this point it's your company making a statement that darker skinned characters (as proxies for people) are not important enough to be playable, to be heroes, etc. And its frustrating to have to explain why things like this are problematic to lighter skinned people because they don't have to deal with this exclusion in their day to day.
Let me save you a couple minutes if you went into the comments section before watching the whole video.
1 - Dude is bitching at the story being bad but he skipped it.
2 - People are mad that Korea is a different culture and that they don't blackwash every character.
3 - A bunch of loser started a petition, not realising that Hoyoverse main markets are the asian markets and that will have literally no impact on the Korean culture.
4 - People on the internet don't seem to know that most asian country didn't receive the huge of amount african migration that western countries have and that reflects on the cultural and societal norms.

The thing about AC shadow is, Ubisoft did say “history accurate” then proceed to bastardized every single aspect of Japan’s culture and history
