is kotaku on our side???
>>740364195>dead people arent allowed to be in gamessince when
>>740364195No, didn't you get your marching orders? This shit is awesome
>>740364569Most dead "real" people in games have been dead long enough to essentially be public domain figures. How many dead people besides Tupac have fucking hologram concerts and samurai cameos? It's honestly just as embarrassing and creepy as when they made Kurt Cobain dance around in Guitar Hero.
>>740364195>pander to extremely, laughably cheap demographic that doesn't buy games and maybe steal them at most
>>740364195most people who will play this game weren't alive when he died
>>740364195They are but for different reasons.We aren't leftists though so there's no need to bitch about the whys, we just go with it
>>740364195It's goofy as fuck but it's all in good fun, and fun doesn't suck. So, no.
>>740364195Real fans of what?
>>740364195Why do leftists hate AI so much
>journalist>on our sideyeah fucking right
>But It’s okay when it’s Bruce Lee or Michael Jacksonlol fuck off
Can anyone tell me why Tupac is deified. Someone who likes rap. Is it a beatles thing where he was big for being the first to set up trends, and if he appeared later after someone else started the trend he'd not go anywhere?Or is he like A-hee-hee SHAMONE where he'd be big regardless of where he came in during hip hop's history?
>>740366267He was one of the first rappers to make socially conscious rap or at least he was the first to really make it mainstream but he was also a fucking retard and a wannabe gangster and that ultimately got him killed so fuck him
>>740366267Tupac is deified because he was a homosexual industry plant. How every black in America got psyoped into worshipping an obviously gay ballerina from a fancy performing arts school is actually impressive.
>>740365992Because leftists all work in useless white color jobs doing work easily done by AI so it threatens their livelihood and, despite their constant moral grandstanding, their personal wealth is all that matters to them.Remember, we're talking about the people who in response to miners getting fired declared they should "learn to code" but when they received the exact same response to their own getting fired they declared the same phrase to now be "hate speech" and it became something that got you banned from social media.
>>740366267meme magic amongst negros and latinxeskind of the same way it happened to chuck norris
>>740366267I guess it’s because he was gunned down at 25. I listen to black music more than anything else, albeit it’s largely jazz and Motown, and I have not once gone out of my way to listen to Tupac
>>740366838>Remember, we're talking about the people who in response to miners getting fired declared they should "learn to code"is there a confirmation for this? i always thought it was retarded journos who were saying vile horse shit like that, especially since now they're benefiting more from AI than anyone else because now they can do even less work. that's far less broad than just lefties in general
>>740365992Because they bought into artfags screeching about how it'll cut into their patreon money
>>740366267He's a homosexual black supremacist and he died at the peak of his career
>>740366267>Can anyone tell me why Tupac is deifiedBecause now we can take his nice AAA model and animate him getting reamed up the arse by Snoop Dog.
>>740364195Ok wtf is this? I thought someone just made a custom skin mod for assassins creed shadows but kotaku is commenting on it
>>740367108> black musicI'm the anon that asked and I was thinking a moment ago that if I tried to ask someone who deifies "Why is tupac the best" if they turned it around and asked me "Why do you think Sade is so great" I'd also be unable to articulate in precise terms why beyond "She sounds really pleasant to listen to". Not that I'd call her the best of RNB, but I just don't know enough of that to speak to it.Sometimes I just get a bit side-eye of the shibboleth style GOATs like Tupac or The Godfather. What would the /v/idya equivalent be I wonder.
>>740367681Did you miss the entire Summer Games Fest?
>we necromancied a zesty nogerm... good for you?
>>740364891>Most dead "real" people in games have been dead long enough to essentially be public domain figuresRobert McNamara died in 2009 and you played as him in the COD game released in 2010 killing zombies. That is way more disrespectful then this shit and no one cared
>>740364195Always have been.
>>740364195Tupac was a fag.
This is a Notorius B.I.G. board, fuck off Tupacgers.
>>740364195It's just that they think this will have AI in it, not that they don't like black people
>>740366838>who in response to miners getting fired declared they should "learn to code">This was something people said in 2015>The fired miners STILL have not gotten jobs, 11 years laterMaybe they actually should learn how to code.
>>740364195Imagine how many people would have popped off if Weird Al had shown up instead
>>740368089yeah, but that game was full of historical figures living and dead.and you played as him from that time.it would be like playing a game that features a virus now and getting mad that larry king and meatloaf were in it, despite the game being set in the 80s when they were popular public figures of that era.
>>740364195>Is Kotaku on our side?Fuck no!
>>740368489weird al? you mean the pony guy?give me UHR era al and i would, as the kids say, pog out
>>740367873Not everyone watches that normie shit.
>>740364569Since deadnaming
>>740366838>>740367131>>740368348While the modern brahmin caste of Thinkpiece Journos and twitter leftist's may sometimes aling on idpol shit, the twitter leftists also want to beat said Journos to death just as much as you.Don't mistake the big tent nature of American politics for actual ideological agreement.
>>740369347*sometimes align
>>740364195I do not care about some nigger
>>740370027THE nigger
>>740364195They don't want to see him in the game because he's dead and it's "disrespectful" to himI don't want to see him in the game because he's a niggerWE. ARE. NOT. THE. SAME
>>740364195I'm on Tupac's side.
>>740364195>puppeting some dude's corpse for moneySeems kinda distasteful
>>740364195I don't think it's cool and I don't find it disgusting, I just think it's fucking hilarious. I was laughing for like an hour, I couldn't get over it.
>>740364569>dead people
>>740366267popular, had some mistery about who got him killed and his state whores his image a lot
>>740364891How about Sugawara Bunta? From the very same game, announced in the trailer everyone was losing their minds over? He died in 2014, much more recent than Tupac.Performative outrage niggas are tiresome.
>>740364195There are 3 kinds of people that like this>soulless npcs that don’t give a fuck about walking corpses because they themselves may as well be dead>CEOs that are desperate to mine society of every last iota of nostalgia>edgy internet nihilists
>>740366267Rare high iq rapper. Feds killed him.
>>740376827The only thing people know about him is that Akainu was based off him. I doubt 99% of westerners know he’s dead.
They only put Tupac in the game to make people talk about it, they knew the game couldn't sell on its own merits.
All Eyez on Me and Me Against the World are great albums but he never would be worshipped like he is if he didn't get killed so youngand the whole gay ballet thing is actually true, jews are behind it basically
>>740364195Yeah it's weird but exploiting people is part of our political ideology OP
>>74037732399% of westerners are not writing articles about it. Onimusha Way of the Sword has a dead actor too. So did Onimusha 2. People are just gonna have to get over themselves, I'm afraid. Their ignorance is not something to be proud of and make noise around.
>>740365992>Why do people hate evil?I don't know. Not being evil I guess.
>kotaku hate nigs nowwoke is really dead
Nobody buying this trash lmao. Was the audience all 50 year olds because the excitement for Tupac was hilarious. Im old and think its retarded
>>740377617>you have to get over it because you weren’t aware of it at first glanceRetarded take. I don’t respect games journalism as a baseline, and they should do their research, but as a person who was considering playing the game, I personally lost interest. That’s all I’m saying.
>>740377714But leftists are evil, too.
>>740372348Was Tupac zesty?
>>740377801Losing interest is fine, you don't need a strong reason to lose interest in a game, no game is owed your time or money. Likewise, Japan will continue to use dead people in their games like they have been doing for decades and trying to push your personal values on them is retarded. Which isn't what you personally are doing by not wanting to play a game, but it is what anyone is doing by writing articles and saying "it's not ok" instead of just not wanting it.
>>740365279Current Kuza fandom made something like this so yeah they love the wacky reddit chungus and western celeb cameo
>>740378706Nobody tell them about how homophobic the real yakuzas areThat's why I'm convinced the entire series is a psy-op to white wash real gokudos
If the game had members of a tribe called quest then I would be more excited.
had he not been murdered statistically he probably would be dead by now anyway
>>740364569Since Abos got offended
>>740378579I think it’s fine to make arguments on whether something is morally right or wrong.
GTA already did it sorta
>>740379264Why? He wouldn't even be 60 yet and he lived a pretty healthy lifestyle aside from all the gang affiliation.
>>740380167It's okay when white people do it and not okay when yellow people do it.
>>740364195They hate this because Snoop ZOGG is cashing in on his dead honey's image. I hate this because I don't want to see black people in a Japanese period piece.We are not the same.
>>740378387kek
>>740377253There's a good amount of high iq rappers but they're all uncs nowhttps://youtu.be/L9sfbaNqYb8?si=1Jnq4pWnUd41haeF
>>740380496It makes perfect sense to have westerners for this specific period piece. It's both relevant to the main character's inner struggle and to the period of external influence Japan was going through.Now whether black people at the time had this kind of influence or if they should have all been realistically white I don't know, I'm not a niggernomics expert.
>>740364195>Capitalists will even revive dead peoples' likeness just to make more moneyHoly shit Westchads I kneel
>>740380167jay-z is still alive tho
>>740366437No he wasn't you stupid faggot zoomer.He was a faggot and nothing but a faggot wigger who fucked around and found out.
>>740379020>That's why I'm convinced the entire series is a psy-op to white wash real gokudosWell.. duh?I thought this was well knownMost games (or all media really) that portrays and organization that's fundamentally evil in a good like picks a group that's long dead, like pirates or ninjas. The only reason you'd pick a still existing group is to psyop people into liking them, otherwise you'd at least call them something different from the real thing
>>740380393majority of blacks keel over in their fifties after a lifetime of dumping 2000mg of lawry's on every meal and falling for other gay low IQ shit such as eating pineapple dipped into 5000 liquefied jolly ranchersi am not complaining
kotaku hired rebekah valentine, so no
>>740381014>andany>like lightHoly shit it's 5am and I am sleep deprived
>1920s Japan>Filled with niggersWho is this for?
>>740381359Investors
>>740364195>us real fansReal fans of what? Isn't this a new intellectual property?
>>740365992I personally don't want data centers to start using up all water resources, they're limited
>>740382145That's moot by now, AI isn't environmentally any more horrible anymore than any other thing that uses power. It's basically what crypto mining used to be now, only a hundred times bigger because it's companies (mostly nvidia) doing itThat's not an AI problem, that's a power problem. Advocate for nuclear or green power, not against AI, they're just playing the game (that you don't get to play)
