That's true but if you count the fact that in previous games you had little ammo to find, so you could shoot them and waste ammo or you could just run past them?

EDIT: I've played RE 2, 3 and 4 I didn't bother to play RE 1 but anyways wouldn't it be cool to have the game set in asia possibly japan or something and have an asian lead in a japanese city I was never the urban type of terrain guy either. To tell you the truth they should use the game mechanics in RE 4 and 5 and make a completely new game with it, I also don't think the game is racist I mean the damn game is set in Africa, you expect to go there and see lots of white people? stop being so close minded and saying it's racist or not intentionally racist.

I mean how exactly would he obtain weapons without buying them off a merchant?

btw for the sake of argument here is the old trailer:

the thing is, on first glance, this really LOOKED VERY BAD. I mean, you've got a white dude coming in portrayed as saving a bunch of apelike Africans who want to club him on the head. take out the little subtitles and you've got a scene that just looks deliberately like a race war.

This is pretty true but anyone who ignores the fact that it's a videogame about flesh-eating zombies and gets their knickers in a twist without knowing the facts is a moron anyways.

One is absolutely worse because the reason it's bad to begin with is because it's a white guy exclusively killing a bunch of black guys. 

Like in previous installments: from bathrooms, busses, random office rooms, in a room beyond a classic squasher trap room, you know places that make 100% sense. Like, damn I need bullets for this shotgun, now where could i find some... oh theres a sewer entrance there thank god now I can get some bullets. Or damn I wish I had some acid grenades for the grenade launcher I found inside the chimney... oh wait theres that bathtub in that one room I bet if I drain away the muddy water it will reveal some acid grenades.


PS. these are not actual events in the series but they could be.

What?  First of all, do you not understand that there's a different racial dynamic between whites and blacks than there is between whites and SOUTH AMERICANS?  One is absolutely worse because the reason it's bad to begin with is because it's a white guy exclusively killing a bunch of black guys.  Something like that touches on a history of racial tension that goes back several hundred years, and that's why it's notable. 

I'm just still not convinced I should be that bothered about a fictional scenario where the people designing it are obviously not racist, just daft as hell.

Because there aren't hundreds of civil conflicts in Africa, fueled by other foreign countries shuttling arms to which ever group they favor at the moment. I feel like heavy arms in a poor African village ruled by a militant group would be a little more understandable than some random Spanish town.

I've only played RE1, 2 and a bit of 3 and some ps2 ones but they all seemed to suffer from these 'problems' I dont know if the later ones are more, idk, realistic in this area.
