Elden Ring dropped and with it came the usual hot takes from the gaming press, dutifully deconstructed on the latest Splash Damage:
Ash Parrish is back, nitpicking one of the greatest games ever made—Elden Ring—because it doesn’t have enough hairstyles for black characters.

It's a mistake to peddle to these people. No matter what you do, it's never enough. It cannot ever be enough because demanding more is their job.
It’s right in the name: critical theory. That’s why you can be sure that the moment they succeed in tearing down this society, the next one will immediately kill them. Can’t have your pet cultural marxists turning their weapons against you.
Bamco already has, unfortunately; Body type A/ Bodytype B.
They didnt include body type C?
What bigots.
If you are this bothered by a video game then don’t play. So sick of companies listening to these crybabies.
For fuck sake, its a roleplaying game. Your character is not reality.
It doesn't??
Guess I have to buy it now to show my support.
I kind of agree, I was trying to make a faith/strength build Kramer and they don’t have any flattop Afros.
Hair variety in general is kind of shit tbh, this certainly ain’t Nioh 2’s CC. Still the best Fromsoft has ever had though.
I never wear a helmet or any armor at all for that matter.
Ahh. Reminds me of my playthrough of Saints Row 3 as a roided-out, buck naked gorilla with an afro. Good times.
