Japan developer restrained by Americas burden?



When CAPCOM first released info and screenshots of RESIDENT EVIL 5 there was an excitement by millions of fans that were over joyed with the info. But, there were some who were not excited and downright mad. Why? Because the story of RE 5 takes in place in Africa, where the zombie and not so much zombie enemies are BLACK. Black people in Africa, imagine that. The character you play as is long standing in the RE universe, who happens to be white, oh noes! As with any RE game he( the player ) will be shooting zombies, who happen to be black.....in Africa. As usual this info was followed by crying & pouting, it was deemed racist as racist( lets be real ) black groups yelled high into the heavens.So now it seems that not only must America cater to the cry babies as usual, but apparently so now must Japan. We are going global people!

The latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine( UK ) states that CAPCOM is now adding more white enemies, because apparently shooting ONLY white zombies in the previous nine RE games was not enough and killing only SPANISH people in RE 4 certainly drew out no goddamn crybabies. BUT now the zombies are black there is a huge racial issue to where the crybabies claim RE 5 represents being black as a disease. WOW!

“…gunning down mobs of angry Africans could be ’subtly racist’…It’s not just that these zombies are black, but that the uninfected black villagers are zombie-like too,”

“See all those spooky shots of the villagers before they get infected? It’s as if race itself were a disease. The white protagonist has to fight back or be infected.”


It is amazing how dip shits who claim not to be racist can turn anything into a race issue and are the only ones bitching about racism. Instead of these groups being a burden and a goddamn crybaby that must be tended too at ALL times that give non racist black people a bad name, how about growing up and realize its just entertainment and not everyone thinks on your selective level. The fact that CAPCOM would even cater to these groups or a small minority of gamers is pathetic, grow some balls and tell em where to stick it. If they try to sue you, counter sue them for trying to infringe on your rights and artistic expression! Point is CAPCOM you can NEVER satisfy these kind of groups or people, the same way you couldn't satisfy the KKK if they pouted about the past RE titles or Hugo Chavez if he bitched about RE 4. Theres no point in trying to be politically correct because frankly they've found their new 15 minute spotlight and will not let go. These developers need to grow some balls instead of bending over for some assholes who think their entitled to the world on a gold platter!

Pity 10's?


Not that I have ever taken IGN or Gamespot seriously with their game reviews but they at least have always been able to maintain some form of integrity. Until now! GTA 4 was one of the most hyped games maybe only second to Metal gear solid 4, but it had an explosive launch, good sales and good reviews . IGN gave the game a 10 and the edge to the the PS3( which was later disproved that the PS3 version had any edge ), the review read like a fanboy rant instead of a secure professional unbiased opinion. IGN could not very well give the PS3 version a 10 and score the 360 version lower, so they did what all childish fanboys do, they praised the PS3 version and downplayed the 360 version. Gamespot( GS ) initial review I believe was 9.5, but was literally taken down and changed to a 10 in a matter of hours. That alone should be a red flag to gamers everywhere. Now some could argue that there are other sites that gave this game a 10 and thats true. But those are we call bitch sites, because they feed off the two bigger ones for their info. Funny thing is IGN & GS really do dictate peoples decisions on a level that would make the Stepford wives cry. On some levels its funny as hell that someone could be so goddamn gullible and impressionable that whether they like the game or not they consciously force themselves to because of the scores. On another level its sad because these are the people who will one day join a suicide cult.

The whole GTA 4 10/10 was a fishy thing in itself, but low and behold the release of MGS 4 and IGN and GS are handing out 10's yet again! MGS 4 is probably the biggest game the PS3 has until the next FF of god of war. IGN's review yet again read like a dipshit fanboy rant instead of a professional objective written review. GS has Konami ad' all over the goddamn place( nuff said ) and David Hayter is predicting a 360 port, its a mad world indeed.

But one has to wonder if these games are deserving of the notorious 10/10. Having played both games I would say ohhhh hellll no! GTA 4 is entertaining for a short while but is severely lacking and become a chore. MGS 4 is entertaining much in the way that previous installments were but far from a 10. Neither game is bad in fact both deserve a high score. But its almost like IGN and GS gave these titles pity 10's because one is SONY's flagship title and there is no way in hell they could let it fail with the hype surrounding it and the other is a multiplat game that MANY believe was/is a SONY title that should have stayed with SONY. I mean do the math, all PS3 exclusive big gun titles till now have failed miserably in content and reviews, yet the 360 big gun titles have prospered. One has to wonder if IGN & GS are being charitable to SONY with titles that even if they sucked fat infected rhinoceros balls theres no way they would have scored them differently?

Saints row 2's new trailer, making fanboys world wide pout!

The release of GTA 4 has come and went, many have and continue to enjoy the game and many don't. Volition the developers of Saints row 1 have released a new trailer for Saints row 2, which undeniably takes shots at GTA 4's "monotonous" activities. And you know what.....its funny as hell. The trailers for SR 2 looks insanely fun and has me gritting my teeth with anticipation. Although Volitions trailer is in good fun, many have begun a massive worldwide pout fest. At first it was just fanboys on random message boards but now its starting to show up in the so called gaming media. Analyst Mike Hickey says:

Mike Hickey says that, "The trailer directly attacks Grand Theft Auto IV in game content, an unusually pompous position in our view, considering GTA IV is estimated to be the highest grossing 1st week entertainment release of all time - and is currently the highest quality scored game on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 according to Metacritic.com."

Mike fails to mention ALL the times in which R* has insulted other games in this genre. Frankly to me it seems most think "how dare volition" but turn a blind eye to R* previous insults on other venture by developers into this genre. Personally I think the hype has gone to R* head, but in all honestly their going to get a helluva reality check come October. How's that for realism.

My good buddy who is yet once again special ed. spelling champion of the month Chris Stead( look for my other article on this dipshit ) has yet again made a desperate attempt with yet another lame ass "mistake" article. He cites GTA 4's "realism"( you know, the realism in shooting someone point blank with a shotgun only to see a poof red smoke, like in real life) and life like city( really) as being immersing and that Volition hasn't worked this out for SR 2. He says that the new SR2 trailer only identifies what makes GTA 4 so fuckin awesome and thats why GTA 4 got 10's across the board.

Sorry, but if you find going bowling, watching T.V within the game on your T.V, going to a lame ass cabaret or comedy club "awesome" then you are a pathetic ass sheep who impresses way to goddamn easily! Seriously there is NOTHING awesome about micromanaging those pathetic ass activities with "in-game friends". Unfortunately the reason GTA 4 received 10's is for different reasons then what Mr. Stead and other dipshit fanboys want to think. But the blatant truth is R* dropped the ever lovin shit out of the ball, taking the series in a different flawed direction, Volition has every right to poke fun. SR 2 looks to be insanely fun, though now the new war cry of dipshit GTA drones is "its not realistic" well ya know what Jerrys kids neither is GTA 4. Realism is an excuse R* gave to explain shitty programming and lack of effort!
