Made it about 15 hours in before I gave up. Every time I started getting a little bit immersed, the protagonist would open her mouth and yammer on to herself for no reason at all. I'm guessing just to remind you that you're playing a STRONG INDEPENDENT BLACK WOMAN. God forbid they keep to the "silent protagonist" model we got in the first one that only added to the immersion (if they did that the black/woman thing wouldn't have been a factor at all for me beyond the initial eyerolls).
Even the AI device had some kind of indian woman voice (thick accent and all), which would make zero sense from a technological standpoint.
Hell, even the cover art has her with no mask on despite it being near-freezing waters (showing the world she's a black woman is more important than anything else). That aside, the story is nothing but girl-bosses running around being smarter/stronger than everyone else, especially anyone with a penis. When I saw some old Karen come up in some kind of cartoony mech and start bitching, I had the game closed and uninstalled about ten minutes later.
i think in heelvsbabyface review of Alan wake 2 almost all the npcs have some silly talking to themselves lines about their jobs instead of just act like people who were hired to do the jobs. these writers never had a real job or deal with real workers, all their dialogs sound like elementary school students' answers to teacher's question "what do you think <job> do?"
Not just that, some of the dialog too.
"As I live and breathe, Saga is back! People feared you'd never come back after your daughter drowned! What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about? Oh, I know what this is, you've suppressed your memories of everything due to trauma! That's gotta be it!"
Subnautica is a great game. The sequel is Intersectional garbage. At this point I just nope out when they shove blacks in.
Was just checking a new colony building game demo and the medieval Europe style colonists are full of blacks. Into the garbage it goes.
Remnant from the ashes has the protagonist yell shit when you have to reload during or fight, a “elite” monster shows up, or after a big fight. It’s pretty awesome for immersion when your character tells “OH SHIT” when a giant with a sword shows up.
Only somewhat connected with what you said but I love the game and want to shill for it.
