can we please put people in charge of video games who arent cringe *******

[Klerik]

Does that come with some fried shrimp and a blowjob

[Humbaba]

What's the joke here? Black person in bideo gaem?

[wndrbr]

Nerdy chick making gadgets for the player is a stupid trope.

[Acrux]

I know I'm likely to be disappointed, but I'm looking forward to this one.

Jagged Alliance being a notoriously trope free franchise

[maidenhaver]

Are there aliens in this one?

Nerdy negress was never a trope

[Humbaba]

So what's the joke then?

The modern cliche of genius black man/woman goes back to 80s films, with stuff like Die Hard promoting it heavily. But rather than it being a man, it's now a woman because even male ******* are lower on the victim ladder.

It's not modern. The magical negro is an extremely old trope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro

You might argue that this is a different trope, but it would take magic for a ****** to be a genius so it applies.

Gaytopoly prefers nerdy black men looks like.

I never played JA1, but JA2 I played quite a bit. I am uneasy with how different the UI and look/feel is with this "JA3"

How dare you.

I always found Magic looks like The Hoff in Knight Rider.

One of the reviews was accidentally released early today: rated 3/5.

Given what they say, it sounds like it's going to be great.

Sadly, it also veers into the ‘90s lack of political correctness, aping the attitudes of those times with racial caricatures, fan service, and even the use of an ableist slur.

One NPC near an in-game brothel barks, “New in town? Let me show you the sights. The sights are what I call my boobs”

**** yeah boy

That's pure incline then.

[Humbaba]

ableist slur.

Hello, based department?

[General Reign]

I expected to hear something about how it plays but instead I see **** about racial blah blah and 2023 scared of the 90's as usual.

[Humbaba]

No one cares about how a game plays, it's about whether or not it is adheres to marxist leninist Xi jinping progressive thought and if minorities are elevated to the status of protected people so the white man can fulfill his burden.

[Humbaba]

I wish westoids would stop getting upset on our behalf just because it makes them look virtuous to their "friends".

[MadPreacher]

If anyone pre-orders a game they deserve to have Michael Corleone visit them to leave a horsehead in their bed.

[Emphyrio]

are there any pre-release reviews?

[The_Mask]

Probably. I detest mainstream/access media, so I won't willingly add any. But if you insist, I can search some for you.

Going to try to dl.

I wonder why I'm 11 hrs behind. I should be able to play it.

IGN review:

IGN doesn't play the game to do their review. They scrape Google to see what other people had to say about it then write their own article. IGN's editor in chief admitted to it in an interview. One cannot spell ignorant without IGN.

Where is Roguey's review?
