Let’s be real they didn’t like the forespoken lady for other reasons.

(It was racism)

I mean there's probably a lot of racists, but let's not pretend the game was good or funny or interesting and was brigaded by trolls here. Forespoken was dogshit that deserved to be mocked.

The character was fine but Forspoken dialogue was pretty bad.

Wasn't the gameplay choppy? Like, it was poorly optimized and couldn't run worth a damn?

[–] jontree255 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I’m not going to defend the game itself, but I think it got additional hate because the main character is black.

[–] Duamerthrax 6 points 9 months ago

It's impossible to tell because shit floats and the publisher has a motive to highlight the racist hate it got because it detracts from the technical issues.

There's a few Black streamers I follow and the only one I saw play it, only played it once.
