Houston Chronicle Writer: Left 4 Dead 2 Is Racist!

Fuck.... I quit.
What comments? That Left 4 Dead was horribly overpriced?Volcynika said:
Eh? I like Draft, but disagree. I got more playtime out of L4D than any other FPS last year. I felt it was easily worth every penny.
edit: It should be noted that I don't believe for a second that every post Draft makes is him legitimately stating his opinion.

Well killing Americans is pretty racist.

I love the little kick to the head after the shove to the ground that this fine piece of journalism does.
"even if it's just a video game" indeed.
This is stupid.

I know a few people at the Chronicle, I can tell you they judge the success (and future) of these blogs based on reader feedback. Get alot of responses, your blog stays and gets front page advertising. This blog is usually about straight games and about as uninformed as a guy working at EB. So for him to write some bullshit like this, he must have been told to get his numbers up.
The Chronicle continues to be a joke of a paper, but it is the only one we have in the city thanks to print dying all together.

Mindless bitching like this is going to make game designers stop including African Americans at all, as protagonists or antagonists.
I'm happy when we get black people in videogames at all these days, and no, I'm not a gigantic tool hypocrite that doesn't think it's okay to kill people of my skin color like the thousands of white/orange/purple/blue/green faceless baddies I've been killing for years.
Wasn't there some guy who tried to argue that Far Cry 2 was racist? Just because it was set in Africa and some of the enemies are black? SMH if so.
They're fucking zombies. Who cares about cultural sensitivity, kill them all!

NOT having Black people(Zombie or Non-Zombie) in a Game/Story/Movie taking place in New Orleans would be racist.

yeah, it was a while ago. but being a new orleans resident you still see the effects from time to time.
anyway, when i first saw the game footage i thought, "huh, that look a lot like post-katrina new orleans". like a few months aftewards new orleans looked a lot like that, lots of chain fences going up, port-a-potties for all the workers that were down here, busses bringing people back home.....it really did look like that. i don't think that has anything to do with the game being racist though. honestly, i don't see how anybody can see something malicious in L4D2, and i'm a black new orlenian! me and my girlfriend can't wait to play it as we're always talking about how cool it would be to have more games set in a place familiar to us.
