>Jason: The mission you play in the open world, you actually go to her grave... So that’s the thing, I’m intrigued to see where the story’s going. And the performances are really good. I like the main character a lot, even though he’s this typical gruff triple-A white dude biker. >even though he’s this typical gruff triple-A white dude biker. >I’ve changed my mind about Days Gone. I used to think it was bad. Now, I’m beginning to convince myself that it’s going to be good. Maybe even better than that.
>Back at E3 2016, when Sony Bend first demonstrated its post-apocalyptic open-world survival game, I thought it was just plain silly. >The main character, a grizzled white biker called Deacon St. John, came across as a bloviated paragon of old-school road warrior machismo.
>Days Gone makes some interesting choices that kept my play session engaging, and the sections of its story that I experienced piqued my interest enough that I was legitimately frustrated that I couldn’t continue playing at the end of the demo.
>While I’ll admit that I initially rolled my eyes at yet another Gruff White Male Protagonist™ in a grim world - especially one with such a Gruff White Male Protagonist™-ey name as Deacon St. John - I ended up getting far more invested than I’d initially expected. I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose - this is a first-party Sony title, and Bend is no stranger to writing around well-developed characters and games with a strong narrative focus, either.
Deacon St. John is the most Caribbean black dude name ever.

Who gives a shit.
Oh wait, Yea Forums does because they have to be mad about exactly everything.

Figures.

I feel retarded for thinking the MC was Mexican all these last dozen months or so
Elijah Sanders
let this thread die dont link articles dont give them clicks this is obvious marketing and bait
Owen White
Personally I'm more exited to kill all the dirty foreigners in Ghost of Tsushima. Niggers Gone doesn't look bad though, I'll probably go ahead and buy it on sale.
Despite their complaining of him being a fucking white male they all looked past it and enjoyed the game. I'd say either the game is surprisingly good or they're not completely irredeemable mouth breathing drooling retards
John Turner
>white people aren't allowed to be protagonists anymore
what a time to be alive
Logan Lewis
Im more interested in this game than I was before I read these previews.
These pozzed sites are going to slaughter it.
Blake Davis
So how many of these 'complaints' were written by someone who WASN'T white?
Typical white SJWs putting words in my mouth, telling me what to think. I'm black. Diversity doesn't mean anti-white, and it's not an automatic flaw if a character is white. Don't think these complaints are coming from people of color Yea Forums, do not buy into what these people are selling.
Logan Russell
That's what I thought. I figured the original conception of the biker aspect was some residual sons of anarchy shit (other races being in biker gangs and such). And I just figured he wasn't white because as others have pointed out, we can't have white protags anymore
Anthony Cox
He's certainly no Anglo Saxon, but these fucking journo's don't know shit about ethnicities.
Nolan King
>Communist Jews upset that a character is white Color me surprised
Hudson Williams
Look at those fuckin taxpayers LMAO
Levi Thomas
>linking to them manufactured outrage culture is real and you people are its bitches.
Hudson Wilson
which one is more likely?
Christian Jenkins
I preordered Days Gone now
Sebastian Cooper
Okay, none of those really sounded like complaints to me, it sounded more like just pointing out something that is painfully relevant. I will admit, That the character does seem pretty generic, but that's not ONLY because he's white.
Eli Ross
people who link directly to this shit deserve a bullet
Ethan Sanchez
Yes, it must be. based on how the thread topic is worded. none of those reviews "complained" the just pointed out how generic the main character is.
Nolan Bell
>Who gives a shit. That was my first though, specially the fucking retard of OP linking their clickbait articles. Good job OP.
Please, I know you guys don't like Sony and what they have been doing lately, but garbage like this from Kotaku/Polygon/IGN need to be expunged.
I'm not saying the game has to sell 10 mill, but even 3 mill would be nice to fight this kind of SJW BULLSHIT. Please, guys. Fight back!
Eli Rogers
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE.... UH..... Why are we not allowed to talk about it? Because it violates your tranny-journo-resetera pact?
Alexander Gray
Guy in blue got a switch
Dominic Hughes
fpbp; this isn't even worthy of a thread
Anthony Nelson
>fight this SJW bullshit
buy doing what? buying this crappy game that i have zero interest in?
Look, I don't care that they don't like the protagonist because he is white. I bought Resident Evil 2. it has white protagonists, but it's a game that I actually wanted to play. I don't exactly agree with their opinion on the matter, nor do I value anything that these reviewers say because they are all trash, but I do believe they have the right to express their opinions. regardless of how I personally feel about it.
Bentley Reyes
>Kotaku, Polygon and IGN are complaining that the main protagonist of Days Gone is white
Of course they are, everyone knows that a feminine softy boy, probably a techie type, with a pompadour fade for a haircut, glossy young skin, tight pants and sick pair of nikes or adidas, who was probably a Youtuber before the zombie apocolypse, everyone knows that would make a superior protagonist.
I agree, it's time we got some red and blonde hair and blue and green eyes. Brown hair and brown eyes are so fucking tired. Where's the diversity?
Jace Bennett
>all posted on the same day GG showed that these journalists all talk to each other. This is just a coordinated effort to bully a relatively new developer and try to influence their sales. Would bet that their is some personal beef between them in some way.
Isaiah Price
For a Sony exclusive it looks pretty good, certainly better than Spider Flop
>Story driven >Open world >Zombies >Crafting So pretty much Last of Us done right
when they should be complaining about it being more open world cinematic zombie bullshit. It'll be shit either way and you're a fag for posting these sites at all.
Mason Collins
literally can't tell them apart a literal sea of mayonnaise
Ayden Brooks
RE2 doesn’t count because it has a female
Camden Robinson
3 worthless media outlets talking about a worthless game.
Tyler Wood
Days Gone looks fun
Jace Green
do these assholes literally get together and discuss what they're all going to write? all these excerpts almost read like the same motherfucker wrote each one. they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
i ain't even a white dude.
Leo Long
You guys get upset over everything. It's clear all of them are saying the protagonist is the same old generic protagonist is so many other games
William Jones
This. disagree. I just feel since these are games costing more than 10 mill to produce they can at least make their main guy interesting.
Jacob Perez
Color me surprised is a racist statement. Please leave this board and go back to /pol/.
