If a game includes only whites, then it's virtue signalling too, just to white conservatives.

>>386178254
I'm not talking about the games though, I'm talking about opinions.

If somebody praises a game because it's "diverse" rather than because it's good, their opinion is shit.

Unfortunately, even though the rest of what you said is correct these 3 alone discredit everything you said. Stop following trends faggot (inb4 you assume that's ironic).

It isn't bait fags. It's flipping the the argument on it's head. Any schmuck can (and does) argue that X character trait they don't like is "virtue signaling". If you can't definitively prove a dev had a political motivation behind designing certain characters in certain ways, fuck off.

Entitled brat is actually a great way to describe people who think games age.

>>386176864
Calling something cinematic. It automatically means they didn't play it.

Also, calling something a clone. Obviously games in the same genre will have similar mechanics, so referring to games as clones is the quickest way for me to ignore an opinion.

>>386181889
>Can someone explain what the fuck virtue signaling is
It's when you signal your virtues.
Basically, it's when you loudly proclaim something that everybody already thinks for easy praise.

For example
>write a character that's blatantly a one-dimensional racist
>let the player kick his ass while delivering quippy one liners.

It basically screams to the world
GUYS LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT HOW NOT RACIST I AM!! PLEASE NOTICE ME FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT NOT-RACIST!!

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

It's cute that mid westerners believe this. Vidya isn't a "white guys" hobby, m8.

>>386181889
Basically it's a sociopaths belief that no one actually has empathy or cares about others, so the only reason they could be acting good or have an opinion that does not directly benefit them is because they are trying to fool others into liking them. It's an incredibly cynical and disturbed view of the world desu.

>>386183170
Is cute that SEAcreatures think their oppinions matter.

>it's bad because of the graphics

Without fail, this individual is a shitter.

>>386183049
Well like I said, it's retarded self-congratulatory bullshit when you advertise yourself as being a great person because you think what everybody already thinks.

Virtue signalling is basically the millennial version of those stupid pictures that your mom posts all over facebook.

Not him, but that's basically just a new way of saying "sanctimony". Except I guess there's less implication of sucking up to religious beliefs and more of sucking up to social justice.
