>destiny/destiny 2 has a black female character >/v/ doesn't

More like no one cares about Destiny 2 here.

>>389631481
/thread
back to shitposting

>>389631446
Because she wasn't plastered all over advertising and trailers like other games

She's just a woman who happens to be black. That's all.

Other games are taking the opposite approach.

>>389631446
Probably because she was around before it became the trend to point and screech autistically whenever a cast of characters isn't whiter than rice on bread.
Plus, characters weren't much of a focus in Destiny until TTK onward. Destiny 2 is putting much more focus on them, and Ikora isn't defined or highlighted by her race or gender, both of which are irrelevant in the scheme of things.
Basically, Ikora doesn't trigger faggots because she flew under the radar. She's a good character, Saladin too, also black.

She was in the first game though, it's not like they just put her in.

Bungie have also made the best black character in viddy with SGT. Johnson

>>389631446
No
Nobody cares about this shit game

>>389631680
Also the fact that skin colour doesn't matter when you're just a resurrected corpse possessed by light energy from the giant sky testicle.

>>389631446
Because theres literally nothing wrong with black female main characters, female characters, lgbt characters, etc. The only thing wrong with characters like this is when they introduce them solely for pandering, which is not the case in here, or so it seems.

>>389631684
Technically Aliens created Sgt. Johnson. Halo just copied him and fleshed him out.
>>389631757
All are equal in the light of the giant space testicle.

>Destiny 2
Oh boy
More horrendous story telling and the same gameplay we've all gotten bored of.

>>389631446
who are you to judge what a personality is? All you have is getting angry at women or getting angry that others aren't. You're a mess.

Pretty much these:
>>389631612
>>389631680

I would also like to expand what has already been said: she's a character that exists within a story who happens to be a woman and who also happens to be black. The former is what's important about her. The last two facts are just parts of a facade that may be appealing to some people.
And this is what most of the writers these days fail to understand. Instead of creating characters that fit within a story and adding the exterior details later, they do it in reverse. What's really distasteful about it is that they do that based upon trends and listening to focus groups. The result of this is a character who's created for the audience first and for the story later. The marketing execs and even devs themselves will pat themselves on their backs for doing that. And they never don't want to shut up about it and are intent to shove their """"creation"""" down everyone's throats.

Being black isn't an indicator of sjw pandering. If you got characters that are mouthing off your typical progressive horseshit that has no place in the game world, then you got got sjw shit.

>>389633995
Still, none of this matters, because they all act like they belong within the game's setting and story. None of them are there for self-insert reasons. The only one who is is your guardian and even then, the game doesn't elevate you on a pedestal compared to everyone else. There is no look at my skin-tone and now look at my status/importance in the world and story in this game. It's how it should be instead: look at my actions and my impact in the setting.

>>389631481

I consider Destiny 2 sjw crap since literally half the cast are "strong" black woman and a muslim woman.

WUZ

Ikora is cool

he his a robot.
So he is white because he has a "white skin"
what does that even mean
Now you sound racist.
How come black and muslim woman get a part in the story but literally the biggest demographic in the gaming industry doesn´t.
pure sjw trash

>>389631446
She's only a black woman because Gina Torres is a black woman, and Bungie wants the Firefly audience

What even are you on about? He's voiced and acts like a white guy, he's just not made of weak, fragile flesh.
You're really fucking stretching for this idiotic sjw agenda nonsense. You want white representation? Make a white character.

So far so good, it's a lot better of a launch package than the original Destiny, much more refined and polished. There's some fuss over how they handle shaders now, and misinformation about the new implementation of eververse chests (They're bright engrams now, and take place of motes of light from levelling past 20), but otherwise it's going smoothly.

Fuck you get standards

>>389631481
this, since no one has any expectation for the game they cant be disappointed.

There's strong characters of any gender and race. It's stated in the lore that people don't really give a fuck about it anymore since the traveler gave humanity knowledge to put them in the golden age. They even acknowledge exos (robots) as people with rights and shit

Cayde was a human being too; white, I suppose (just because I saw some conversation about him above), so there's also that

>>389631446
She was introduced before the SJW meme became popular here. It's really that simple.

>Look it up
>Destiny 2 has already released

huh, there is practically zero buzz for it, I'm going to assume is another dead after a few weeks AAA release?

>>389640117
People are busy playing it. It's actually pretty fun. It feels like they listened to people and fixed every little complaint people had.

I'm more surprised /v/ isn't mad that Bungie copied Glados wholesale

>>389631446
Because Ikora's an actualpy decent character. Shit, most of the Destiny cast is decent, even Fillion-bot. The worst one among them is Hawthorne, who's only so for being 'le rebellious stronk independent no-rules' character. And even then, she gets constantly disregarded by othere so the big Guardians can talk.

>>389631446
Wake us up when half of the playable characters are negroes. Nobody here has a problem with black people or women being in games, we have a problem with them being shoehorned in for clearly political purposes as done with Mafia 3 abandoning an Italian protag in favor of "le disenfranchised young black man" meme garbage.

>>389640456
Asside from the lore bits what else did they fixed?

>>389633995

I'm not playing Destiny to be represented I want to shoot aliens in the face and play team death match

>>389642228
There's less grinding, more rewards, a ton of cool new weapon types, improved many small things such as adding fast travel while on planet, not having to go to orbit before going to another planet, and the new subclass abilities are fun. Each weapon class (like assault rifle) now have several different reload animations and different looks, they added thumper grenade launchers and so on. It feels really good to play, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Why is it wrong to have a black person in Destiny 2?

Like, a lot of black people exist in real life and play video games.

>>389644136

OUT OF MY WAY SJW FUCKING SHITS

>>389631446

Because there was no prequel where this character existed as White (watch dogs, mafia, etc.)

>>389631446
Because /v/ knows it's totally impotent to shitpost about Destiny 2 because it is a guaranteed success.

>>389641194
>Nobody here has a problem with black people or women being in games
Yeah right
>we have a problem with them being shoehorned in for clearly political purposes
Existing seems to be shoehorned in for political reasons to a lot of invasive elements on /v/

They did add some more grinding with shaders if people care about that.

That's literally it. We've had good female characters for over a decade in games. Nobody gave a crap until people started pushing it as revolutionary.

>>389644359

So now you can apply shaders to specific pieces and weapons. However shaders are now consumable and you get three per drop. PLUS you have to pay glimmer to apply it.

To top it off some idiot at Bungie tried to justify it by saying they want to hear people say "I want to run x again to get more shaders!"

>>389644250
Then why does /v/ like to shit on Overwatch and PUBG so much?

In terms of leadership there is a white male (I assume the speaker is due to his voice actor). But really when I played through I didn't even notice any of the characters ethnicity. They wrote them to just be characters with different personalities. No stereotype associated with any of them. Which is how it should be done

>>389633465
Titan is master race.

>>389634729
Agreed. Put as many black, Asian, Indian, whatever characters as you want. Just make them act like normal people

>>389631446

The game also has blue characters. Why isn't /v/ having a bitch fit about that?

The first one only sold because "OMG HALO DEVS ON PLAYSTATION"

>>389647658
You can buy Weapons, while not legendaries, they're still pretty damn good and allow you to get a leg up early

Shaders which are just colors you can apply to armor, last game once you unlocked them you had them, now they're 1 time use and locked away in loot boxes

Loot boxes aswell, fuck that noise

>>389647928
Holy shit I almost gave the game a second chance. Thanks anon now I know to save my shekels

>>389648729
>good enough to get a sequel
You mean profitable. Yes, idiots love their random loot and mediocre shooting.

>>389647928

>Buy weapons
They are weapon skins dude. They do jack shit damage and you need to infuse to make them good. Furthermore you can't get them until level 20 and damage is normalized in pvp so that "leg up" only benefits other players in strikes/raids

>Loot boxes
I agree they're shitty, but once again can't buy them until level 20 AND you get one whenever you fill the xp bar after you hit 20.

Destiny 2 does some shitty things, but this misinformation needs to stop

>>389631446
because no ones cared about the npc in destiny

>>389649097

>Only benefits other players in strikes/raids
Still bad. You shouldn't be able to buy any kind of advantage at all.

>>389649434
what >>389649097 said is inaccurate. you can't buy guns. They are skins and skins alone.
