I'm looking forward to watching this shit flop.
>Cyberpunk 2077's E3 demo has weak gunplay and unimaginative stereotypes
>The stabbing causes V to level up, and the person playing the demo opens up a menu with twelve options for skill points, though we don’t get a good look at them. Once the menu’s closed, a man comes at us with superhuman speed, but we grab hold of him and advance on a turret as it riddles his body with bullets. Then – because again, we’re very strong – we rip the turret off its base and turn it on the Animals. At this point, I feel increasingly uncomfortable that we’re shooting at predominantly black people labelled as animals.
>On a very different note, the shooting looks limp. Bullets pile into people as their healthbars tick down, each shot lacking impact despite goon after goon tumbling to the floor. I’m hoping I won’t need to resort to my gun too often, though: abilities like that turret manhandling spice up what looks like piddly gunplay.
>I’m also increasingly concerned about Cyberpunk’s handling of non-white cultures. Last year’s Gamescom demo drew criticism for its clumsy and inauthentic presentation of a Latino character, and I’m not convinced the Voodoo Boys are a step in the right direction. At one point V, the player character, mockingly says “and who are dem” in response to Placide’s pronunciation. I asked Tomaszkiewicz if he was concerned they weren’t treating certain cultures with enough respect.
>“Obviously we’re paying a lot of attention to representing different groups respectfully. You know, there’s always a risk. Of course we have it in the back of our heads that we need to be careful about this. We are contacting different consultants to learn about specific groups, and our company has a variety of people with different beliefs. As for The Animals, if you play through the game you’ll see that they’re not mostly black people, it’s mixed.”
>He told me that most of the city were mixed race, but the backstory for this particular area concerned most people being immigrants from Haiti. By itself, that would be fine. But near the end of the demo, we meet a white man in a suit and tie who gives us the information we need. He also tells us the Voodoo Boys are going to turn on us the moment we’ve done their dirty work – and is immediately proved right.
>The violent black thugs betrayed us, as the corporate white man said they would. If CD Projeckt are trying to subvert expectations – if the punchline is, but sometimes the thugs are really thugs – then it’s not one that lands. It was hard to suppress excitement at last years demo. I had to fight to remind myself of the artifice, to look past the intricate bombast and see the sporadic wall destruction and implausible drowning animations. We’ve still seen only another small slice of a game that will be dozens of hours long, but after this year’s inconsistent combat and questionable representation, my expectations have been tempered.

This is actually a correct sentiment because niggers being niggers is not a subversion of expectations, but instead a confirmation of expectations. The subversion here is the writer's insertion of "sometimes" rather than "always".

marketing as a whole can be replaced with AI and is thus "lazy" because metadata and machine learning can now outperform marketing majors(who are a joke already) for a fraction of the cost. the fact is they will try to appeal to an audience in some way, or else how will the product be sold?

Poles are making the game, not americucks. You can expect them not to give a shit about your sperging about race everywhere like you burgers usually do.

You aren't supposed to depict people as they are. The politically correct thing is to depict multiculturalism pardoxically as more of a monoculture. Everyone needs to be an interchangeable unit, with their various aesthetic and cultural differences being treated more like quirky accessories.
Hence we get the westernised slut wearing a Muslim headscarf, or the upper class black guy who's totally clean cut, but occasionally listens to hip-hop to prove he's still "authentic".

but since you asked, the tranny community wants games to 1: feature trannies prominently in a role that can't be made fun of or be tangentially made fun of by association with something that is actually being made fun of (see: Pillars of Eternity)

Anon, that's the entirety of Polish history. The Western Europeans see the Poles as nothing more than imitators without a culture, and the Eastern Europeans see them as a threat to "Slavic purity and superiority".
