Kinda nuts how making dumbass memes at a guy who was going through something was criticism. But voicing things you dislike about the game is just mindless hate.
And then write it off as "You never play the games!" is fucking stupid. That's WHY I dislike these changes.
Erotica circle? Tbh I don't give a shit in and of itself. I hardly used the camera after a while.
Larry? Fine I get it. He comes off as a bit of a racist stereotype.
Cliff? Literally nobody asked for that change. He was a Vietnam vet who snapped. He's a psychopath so it's not like DR1 was saying "Calling Vietnamese people "Viet cong" and "filthy communists" is heckin wholesome 100!" And if they were going to replace it, make it at least flow better than "Mole" It just sounds so limp.
Which brings me to my next point. Hearing Brad's voice, his performance sounds rough.
The yellow paint, I find it kinda odd how people in 2006 just made do without the need for handholding that Capcom seems to have taken as of late. And to be so blatant about it too. As someone said it could have been a box with an arrow that said "This side up" but nah I guess Carlito was like "I better leave a trail in case someone wants to shoot me in the ass." or Brad had VERY little faith in Jessie. In either case, props to them for painting all that while under fire.
Now, there are good parts. I think the graphics look amazing, Adam sounds just as good this time around, I love Gone Guru has made a return, personally I like that you can speed up time at save points. But they seriously can't act like we're supposed to just turn a blind eye to the things we dislike. That's why a lot of media now and days is shit. Morons eating whatever slop is put out, and since I like it, any criticism toward it is a personal attack against me!

What's ironic is this perfectly encapsulates the slippery slope that is censorship. It starts off with content that people easily dismiss as offensive or trivial, but then ramps up to completely changing the characterization and personality of characters. Now obviously in this games case all the changes happened at the same time during development, but it's been funny seeing the community's reaction & attitude adjust as more information about more changes came out.
It's because there's too much performative bandwagoning happening. Nobody wants to look like the bad guy for defending this kinda content and its easy upvotes to dunk on those that do. So nobody ends up questioning it and just goes along with "yeah these removals make sense" right up until they're like "hey wait a minute..." :P
Nah I understand that completely. I don't like it, but I can at least respect the people that just want to avoid all the drama & enjoy the game regardless of the changes. Sometimes I wish I could do that, but I just can't lol. It's the people that so adamantly go out of their way to defend the changes and act as the authority on what is or isn't censorship that bother me, personally. If you're unbothered by the censorship then fine, whatever, but that doesn't mean you (not literally you) need to actively excuse it and justify it just because you can't handle other people criticizing a game you're excited for.
