Finally, Thank you Ubisoft

[DevilMayCry]

A game where i can finally play as a black protagonist. The last 100 i played where with white people.

Ubisoft = greatest and most inclusive developer of all time. Only second to BioWare

[Geeks On Hugs]

Ubisoft is awesome with representation. I've played video games for decades but AC Origins and Mirage are (I believe) the first games where I could play as arabs (my ancestry is Palestinian). I never thought I'd ever see a game with an arab protagonist. I'm used to arabs just being NPC terrorist tropes.

Origin is Egypt and takes place long before the Arab conquest.

Why do you care so much about skin color? That's weird.

Right? I remember like 20 years ago when Prototype 2 came out and had a black guy on the cover, and you know what I thought? "I really liked Prototype 1, I'm totally getting this game!".

Know what had literally no effect on my decision to buy the game? The fact that the protagonist was black. Because I'm not racist and skin color doesn't matter to me.

ask most of the world that and they would say they care. not only that, but they would say it's extremely important

it's who and what we are. who and what we are - and what others are - are extremely important

for some reason, people have been conditioned to think otherwise and i think it's absolutely crazy

The first AC game also had a middle eastern protagonist but I think he was Persian/Iranian not an Arab.

A color of a person's skin has no more relevance than the color of a person's hair or eyes. Can you imagine believing all people with blue eyes were less than those with brown eyes? People would think you were nuts and really the same should be true about skin color.

"Color over skill" is a phrase spoken oddly of a game that's as magnificent as Shadows. When your game is more beautiful than Sekiro, you've got some skill.

You would think, right?

I just find it crazy that people are deciding their enjoyment of the gameplay mechanics of a video game based on the color of the playable characters skin. Make THAT not sound completely insane.

If the game is good, and fun to play, you can make my character be whatever color you wanna make them and Ill play it. If the game is dull and boring, I don't care what color the protag is, I don't want anything to do with it, cause you know...I don't wanna play a boring game.

It seems so simple to me, yet so many people decide their enjoyment of a games gameplay mechanics primarily on the color of the character that's doing them, and it makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The few people that used that as a talking point never had any intention of playing Shadows. Matter of fact they probably dont even play games at all

unless you been living under a rock, the reason why this game even has so much hate is because he black. Skin color will always matter shet goes to deep in history. You can pretend it dont though. Its whatever

Really this was the only game you could find that meets that criteria? Guess you missed all the games that flopped last year that meet the exact criteria for what you are looking for in a game; they could have really used your support.
