Being voiced by someone who couldn't be more of a gringo vanilla face really deflated my reception of this character.What was the last great Mexican/Latino character in a videogame?
James Vega? That was 7 years ago.
And say wathever you want but if you are Mexican and you hate James Vega then you hate yourself or a friend.
I say Loco even to my dog and of course i love to mix english and spanish when i'm with my friends, and i fucking love Los huevos rancheros que hace mi abuela.
I'm not the only one, i'm pretty sure of that, we all have a bit of Vega inside of us.
God i love this character, he Is the best character that we have, well, maybe Ramón Rodríguez Is better because he's been here since KOF 98 but thats up to discussion
I just wanted to say that my last name is Vega, thanks Bioware.
Specifically, they are American of first generation Mexican descent. The game also goes all in on the relevant political baggage that comes with - which I appreciate. Also, their "totem animal" is the wolf... which is a funny coincidence for a Mexican-American with a wolf avatar.The protagonists for Life Is Strange 2 are Latino. Great? Idk yet as I wait for the game to be complete.
This is false
And what did you expect? the ethnicity of the voice actor doesn't matters, Freddie Prinze has a beatiful voice, one of my dreams is being voice actor, would i be wrong if i dub a white character just because i'm brown?
Reversing the issue doesn't make it equal. This thread is about representation in games. It's not being considered a good thing to recognize just because. For consistency and real commitment, BW could have gone all the way with a latino VA. On a less serious level, I can't not clown this character when Freddy's yuppie grinning face is what pops in my head when he speaks.
The two main villains. It's Far Cry convention to have the main villain(s) front and centre on the box art.
On a serious level? wtf? why does the voice matters? why? i know Shepard's VA and when he talks i imagine myself talking, not Mark Meer, Freddie Prinze sounds latino, and his voice fits the characters, that's all that matters
I tried to find a better one to post Bt couldn't OK 😑
Only 10 games coming out this year, OP? You forgot Ada Wong and TOFU in RE2 :P
I like how you snuck TLOU pt 2 in there in hopes that it releases this year, too!
Here are some more big games slated for 2019, not including titles like Ghost of Tsushima which don't have a release date.
Judgement (slated for 2019 in the West) from Yakuza team
(In the Valley of the Gods by Campo Santo - creators of Firewatch)
Someone beat me to Far Cry protagonists. Thought that was cool.
Is there a main protagonist for Crackdown 3? I thought it was that hispanic dude but its really unclear. Terry Crews is in the game, though!
Much like the real world, we have a long way to go, but there is definitely some headway in the right directions.
Do people realize that the women on the cover are the new antagonists (vilains) and not the protagonists (MC/Hero) in this Far Cry game? :P
More so we know the sexuality of the girl that we save/interact with in Last Lite who apparebtly falls for the avatar, but he has no arc or authority as a character.
CamDeenie isn't wrong about the plethora of white women vs woc though. There are no shortage of white girls in any media, even if they aren't commonly playable (yet) in video games.

Friendly reminder that if you're looking for a racially and ethnically diverse cast in a game coming out this year, look no further than Indivisible.
Though it's in a fictional world, the parallels are clear. There's like all of two, maybe three (I'm not sure if Vasco is meant to be Latino or a Spaniard) white people. The rest are all PoC.
Main character, Ajna, is a brown girl herself.
(Special shoutout to last second addition Ren, the lack of feminine guys in games feels sad to me so always glad to see more!)
It's really a shame no one is really talking about it. I feel like part of it might be that it's from Lab Zero Games, and I feel like the Skullgirls and Indivisible audiences might not overlap so neatly.
Can we get some love for the best black protagonist ever to be created ?

Can't really think of any outside of games that give you a blank slate like Mass Effect, New Vegas and Dragon Age.
