Resident Evil 5, IGN, and the Game Journalist who Cried Wolf

- IGN released an article about Resident Evil 5 that is one of the worst thought out think pieces ever, and that's saying something. The writer omits facts about the game, facts about statements about the game, and just makes a really bad argument that shouldn't have been published. This article is the very definition of the boy who cried wolf.

The article author must not know, or wouldn't admit. That when you play co-op, player two plays as Sheva.
You are 100% correct, Sheva is black. and IGN doesn't even acknowledge her existent.
By this jornos logic. Far cry 2 is a wacist cleansing game as well
You ever play far cry 5
@@Spider-Man42069 yeah a bit
@@anangrygreenboss6353im sorry
We bringing back all the greatest hits, aren't we? How about we get Jack Thompson a call cause he's slipping up.
Yeah we don’t wanna have him miss all the fun now would we lol
I'm sure someone from the Daily Wire is days away from making the same arguments.
@@DurtyDan actually I think Matt Walsh already did
This is the same IGN that Ranked Naruto very high in there top 25 Anime characters.
Maybe because he's memorable or oft-discussed?
If you said he doesnt deserve top 3 maybe top 10, I'd say yeah ofc theres no accounting for taste. But not in the top 25?? Thats just objectively wrong.
He's british, his article makes total sense. You got to understand killing off African enemies in a game, to them, that's just a waste of good slaves
going to need a senzu for that burn
When there’s still no Code Veronica remake……
*Angry Christopher Reeves Superman meme*
He believes nothing in history existed before he became “socially conscious” of the things around him. What a narcissist.

You brought up something that is so spot on here
Best thumbnail I've ever seen. I was just thinking about American history x earlier today lol. I pray to God capcom doesnt bend the knee
I want this to be over
Good to see you got your channel back!
I love that so many are shiting on this article . This game was so well crafted @ign
And now with Matt Walsh attacking games, the 20s seems to be set to be the worst of the 10s and the worst of the 00s. Just with somehow more senile politicians leading both parties a full decade past retirement time.
As a black person, I'm seriously embarrassed when I see bull shit like this. Even though my " black card " was ripped from me when Inwas a kid( loooooong story....) I still feel embarrassed. Due to The fact that my skin is a color, people pull shit shit. Like man. Just want to hide in a box... lol
I mean...I kinda wanna hear the long story about how your black card was ripped from you as a kid, lol.
there is no way they (IGN) do it (the article) for bait click
right?
Do we have any Three Knights updates?
There's rarely an update when you're moving at the speed of Government.
This is why I can’t take gaming journalist and specifically IGN seriously anymore. His opinion should’ve been invalidated due to him not playing the game, making assumptions about Resident Evil 5 story and exposing himself for clearly trying to reach with calling a game in the series racist for its depiction towards Africans. What takes the cake is how he even ignored Sheva and Josh in the game but only sees Chris Redfield 💀.
As an African American, I’m have been ashamed for seeing and hearing how clearly people don’t know their geography. It shows for this journalist talking about Africa as it is a country but not as a continent! This game that depicts an African country isn’t racist but only to the those who have the “white savior complex”. Clearly that man wants to show how fake deep he can be trying to be an internet Karen about a game. It’s ok to not like games but don’t reach with modern politics logistics for your reasoning. And this is the type of politics gamers don’t want in their games made by the journalist.
I agree racism has lost its meaning over time and that’s a great comparison to use the boy who cried wolf. I’m already on that path of not taking certain gaming journalists in certain big companies seriously on the fact of them trying to insert dumb ideologies/opinions as if it should be valid.
Thanks Micah for the video regarding this.
Ok but what about the tribal enemies?
I understand what you're talking about, because the spear and loincloth imagery can be a little jarring when you first see it and it seems like it's reinforcing stereotypes, but there are still tribes like that in Africa. If the entire game was fighting tribal enemies, I'd agree, but you go through modern towns in the beginning and industrial areas towards the end. It shows that Africa is a modern continent with certain groups of people that have simply chosen to live a traditional lifestyle.
That thumbnail had me giggling like a school girl. Well done Big guy.
When Capcom inevitably does the RE5make, they definitely aren't going to include Shevas sexy jungle alternate costume. Even back then the progs were indignant about it being offensive to black people. On top of the controversy about how for most of the game you have a white guy shooting black zombies. Which absolutely wouldn't fly today in a post-george floyd world.
It was bothersome period. And at the very least making all the effective black/african rep faithful aids or diseased madmen is an ouch because it's an identity pushed on them irl. So no shame in going ew not for me
Floyd is a criminal who put w3apon in pregnant girl belly. A game is supposse to be fun no politics about, gamers buy if they want. No one cares about re4 shooting whlte zombies. Who gives af
I do think racial inequity and systemic issues and biases are a thing. Even in Jim crow you had erudite educated folks poo poiing concerns
My objection isn't your point of re5 isn't racist or tone deaf (my verdict is; not that much and a bit) but of "because Sheva there are no problems"
And at the least this depiction ties into unflattering harsh takes on African places.
Unlike re4, crazy as it got, you understood you were in a rural cult village, the sticks, someplace behind the times abd unusual. A major plot point is their provincialism making them a target.
It's not that bad but nof a flattering take of africans being diseased folks if not helpers.
But at least we have african produced or showcasing media that can at least have a sense of genuine approach. As to tone deaf for the Drama and bullets
Your grammar is kind of all over the place but I think I get what you're saying, and you're misrepresenting my point.
I'm not saying "have a black protagonist so it's okay to shoot black people." I never even implied it, and it's crass to suggest that I did. What I said was that the argument the writer makes is devoid of context. If you consider the context of Resident Evil 5, his argument is nonsensical. It's also devoid of cultural considerations and it's meant to try and force American issues (which aren't his business as a British person) onto Japanese developers.
@@BigMicahC edited and fair point.
Bruh, it's just a game, they can picture the world they want. Work it through
To be fair, I learned more about Resident Evil 5 in this video than from any other source. Probably because I don't bother looking up RE5 because it's a memetic sinkhole in the series. Punching boulders--how can you go right? However, I believe everything gotten wrong is deliberate, considering he preemptively rendered his social media private. He's a meticulous troll, but not a very good one. You must be a member of 4Chan or somehow acquire anonymity before pulling something like this off. The editor let it pass because free clicks.
When I heard of this article, I just figured the author was just another woke whiner. Cue your sequential eviscerations and I'm horrified to discover the jerk might not have played the game. You know what the worst part is? Resident Evil 5 practically predicted the hoopla of distributing alleged vaccines (the coof ones don't operate as such and it'll take half a decade before they ready one for testing) with a bunch of offshore miscreants doing likewise to a scant few African villages.
In short, a hit piece designed to downplay RE5 because it predicted something that the journalists are still collaborating on covering up.
I dont think you understand what makes a good journalist? lmao
You don't think that a journalist should have consistent logic, well informed opinions, and a sense of ethics?
do you know what clickbait is? You litterarly jsut made an entire yt video bitching about a clickbait article. Giving them exactly what they want,@@BigMicahC
@@biggooba6706 Clickbait journalists are not good journalists. You think anyone who goes to college with dreams of being a journalist one day does it so they can write "Top Ten Jerry Springer Episodes" clickbait articles for a living? These people are stuck in these types of journalist jobs and sell their integrity and pride for clicks that earn their trashy employers ad revenue. It's like pursuing a modeling career and ending up as a stripper. Sure, you're making money and people are staring at you in both professions, but one is going to be looked at as more respectable than the other.
@@Agent47rulzclickbait journalism is essentially the internet equivalent to those trashy magazines you find in the supermarket checkout lines. No one wants that.
