hey hey hey now let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here

Yeah, I’m not happy about it tbh. 

On a aesthetic level, I really wish that Capcom would evolve Trish’s look already. Maybe take one of the discarded character concepts they made for Trish back when the original DMC game was supposed to be a Resident Evil [4] game, and run with that. She had a lot cool costume designs (my favorite being the leather jacket with the yellow lightning bolt. But there’s also fur coat Trish, and leather getup Trish). 

I’m just baffled as to why they won’t just change up her look, esp. when they went as far as giving Lady an entirely new wardrobe (with cowboy chaps). They just shortened her bustier and gave you an option to make her costume white. Meh.

But, the skin and color change just kinda shows they’re pretty attached to their “Black by proxy” Trish character design. I mean, yeah, they got rid of the Gloria costume, but, that was only part of the problem. Why maintain the blackface on a explicitly white character and you know damn well that’s offensive? 

Why not stick with the mod they introduced in DMC4′s special edition version (assuming that’s not a default option)? Or even use the early “Gloria” prototype design that didn’t use the brown skin?

We could’ve even had an Eva skin for Trish in DMC5 to go with the Sparda skin Dante usually has (hell, someone’s already made a pretty neat Eva mod for her). I don’t understand why that hasn’t already been a thing considering Trish is pretty much a clone of Dante’s mother.

OOOOOH TLOU MAKES ME ANGRY

so, the game starts off in a really promising fashion and almost made me kind of interested in it when my opinions of it were already pretty low to start with, just a game where you play as a kid and her dad and uncle in the beginning of a zambo apocalypse which would’ve been pretty cool because literally nothing shows the beginnings these days

so what happens? the kid gets fucking got and then it ends the cutscene with my absolute most hated fucking trope, the ridiculous MEANWHILE 10 FUCKING YEARS LATER which is so fucking lazy it pains me, and starts in some grimdark edgy future where, for whatever reason, the military is running a dictatorship because ????? and just executes a dude in front of you because THEY’RE THE BAD GUYS

after a bunch of mediocre dialogue and edgy, it funnels me into a shooting section in a game where the gunplay sucks shit, and the game has barely begun and it’s already managed to uncheck all the boxes for a good game

one’s a terrier-poodle mix(aptly named a terrapoo) who’s about 12, one’s a german shephard-border collie mix who’s about 10, and a purebred yorkie who’s about 4 or so, and they were all gifts
