Speaking of racism,<\/p>\n

\n

that\u2019s what i find so fucking offensive about bioshock infinite, is that it makes black people props in a storyline in which white people get to revise white history through all kinds of fanciful sci fi wizardry in order to make themselves feel better while STILL excluding and marginalizing black people, and we\u2019re supposed to be happy about it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fuck no, we\u2019re not. Great article<\/a>, you can feel the anger at the end.<\/font><\/p>\n

To see people like Cliff Bleszinski claim it to be \u201ctrue art\u201d really goes to show how much the violent, racist oppression of other people sidelined for the sake of white-centric science fiction is nothing but entertainment to the white-dominated games subculture.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s so embarrassing. Maybe it\u2019s anecdotal but making music for games, I\u2019m never saying the letters \u201cR&B\u201d because culturally I\u2019ve seen white people go nuts and angry just by saying those words, like saying \u201crock\u201d would make you think that this entire genre fucking sucks to oblivion and that really, you\u2019re right. Meanwhile J-pop -popular in the games subculture- is Asian R&B but then, it\u2019s different. <\/p>\n

A shame.<\/p>\n

Regardless of racism, Bioshock has flaws even in its core mechanics as Jonathan describes it perfectly:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You need to read the next one from bottom to top, though sorry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How do you call a situation where a game is full of flaws<\/a> but is widely acclaimed as what the game industry can really<\/em> do? Shit.<\/p>\n

Jaw-dropping graphics don\u2019t fucking cut it and never will. And you game journalists I don\u2019t even, ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
