Does Black Ops 3 have a race problem?

Nick Gillham: "Recently we saw the latest installment of Activision’s bombastic war-FPS franchise Call of Duty hit our consoles and PCs. Black Ops 3 arrived on the back of generally good reviews with many saying that while the campaign was forgettable story-wise, it is still fun to play, and that the multiplayer is as good as it ever was.

The single player campaign this year made the bold move of allowing people to play the whole thing as a woman. No physical difference in terms of abilities, just appearance and voice, meaning that a whole new demographic can now be represented…. as long as you’re caucasian."

Im sick and tired of this agenda. You guys are eradicating Western culture with this nonsense.

SJW's ruining video games one game at a time.

Eonjay3083d ago (Edited 3082d ago )

I don't really see a problem with this opinion piece.

It seems like being anti-equality is the new group thought. No one is ruining video games because the industry and the medium isn't that fragile.

As NeckBeardBSMTDweller posted below, it has more to do with who is actually making the games. I think if we want to see more people of color in video games, we should be encouraging people of color to make more games. Become designers and developers.

@ThunderPulse

Personal attacks notwithstanding, I think you are so eager to say something nasty that you aren't really considering what I am saying.

ThunderPulse3082d ago

@Eonjay if you lack the ability to truly understand what the piece is meant to do you have the brain capacity of a 5 year old child.

DawginTow13082d ago

Whoa, this place is starting to sound like one of those...not-so-nice websites =O Y'know, the ones w/ mirror-reversed Buddhist symbols & stuff O_O

doritos3083d ago

Boo hoo, cupcake. Let's see your all inclusive game.

NeckBeardBSMTDweller3083d ago

Not to be insensitive, but if there were more people that were non-Caucasian in game/graphic design, maybe there would be. It would mean a lot more to see this organically, rather then applied by pressure. Plus in the Multi Player my character is currently a Chinese woman, so just because the single player didn't include them doesn't mean they didn't at all. BTW, Im a Caucasian man. Seriously though, that's like me saying, man I wish my hospital would hire more White Doctors, keep things even. By me, we have more middle eastern doctors than any other race / color / whatever. Just because there are more of those people in the medical field that shouldn't make the hospital or doctors office look bad, if they are the best at what they do.

annoyedgamer3083d ago

It doesn't work that way with leftists. Only straight, white males must be rooted out.

And I am not white either and I can see this clear as day.

Eonjay3082d ago (Edited 3082d ago )

This is complete bull. No one is trying to get rid of white straight men. That is just propaganda.

Spotie3082d ago

Not trying to "root out" the straight white male. Just trying to add in the others.

That said, I don't see this as a problem, either. I'd like it if more people of my skin color were characters in games, but I'm not gonna start calling "Racism!" just because they're not.

Eonjay3082d ago

@Spotie

I can't believe that people actually believe that folks want to 'root out' white guys. Holy goodness. I loled so hard. Guys, get up and go outside. Stop letting people tell you what to think.

annoyedgamer3083d ago (Edited 3083d ago )

First is was "we needs wiminz in da war" they added it. Now its "its racist" tomorrow it will be "its homophobic".

Chaosdreams3082d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next thing they point out.

NeckBeardBSMTDweller3081d ago (Edited 3081d ago )

Seriously, games are like any form of entertainment. If you don't like what you see... than don't watch/play it. For example, I don't watch Tyler Perry movies, and I wouldn't expect him to have more white people in there if I did.

Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!

roadkillers1037d ago

Yea, I can't find any. Not even the digital versions, Facebook has them going $400 over retail.

poppatron1037d ago

I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have

Stanjara1037d ago

So Avengers are fine? I thought that the game is dying.

Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.

PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.

-Ghost1177d ago (Edited 1177d ago )

Not sure why WWE 2K Battlegrounds was a highlight for this month. I browsed the games in December and it was there/played it.

SamPao1177d ago

Darksiders genesis. Thats a pretty neat addition

gamer78041177d ago (Edited 1177d ago )

The game was a massive disappointment, even playing with a friend it was terrible. But we finished it til the end. The game is so buggy and just not much fun a lot of times.

iplay1up21177d ago

Now, is not nearly as good as Game Pass, but $60 for a year? Well worth it!

gamer78041177d ago

Detroit become human is fantastic. One of the best this gen

oakshin1177d ago

Last time blop 3 was on here it came with the dlc

RgR1177d ago

Great for me.

I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.

The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.

iplay1up21177d ago (Edited 1177d ago )

I was disappointed with Darksiders 3. I played for a couple of hours, and deleted it. That is just me though, a lot of people liked it. Also the price is right. Hope you do like it!😁

RgR1177d ago

Yea I'm with you there. The beginning and gameplay feels so different but after a certain point I feel like it got much better.

I played it in classic mode so it would be more similar to other darksiders but man did I die a lot in the beginning due to learning how to play. Came into it fresh from darksiders 2.

SamPao1177d ago

Yeah, I am still playing frostpunk from last month...
Heard good things about little nightmares
