IGN takes issue with white male lead in Days Gone.

[maxleresistant]

On the top of my head in recent games :
-crackdown 3 black male
-shadow of the tomb raider female
-watch dogs 2 black male
-celeste female
-uncharted 4 dlc female
-spyro trilogy dragon

Yeah, maybe there could be more, I know I would not mind at all tbh. I really don't need for games to have white male leads to identify with.

But there is more and more games where you can choose, anthem I think is one, AC odyssey, fire emblem, fallout 4 and 76, monster Hunter world, Pokemon let's go (if I remember correctly).

And I know it is not as important but many multiplayer games like fortnite, Apex, overwatch, rainbow six, etc have a diverse cast. I know it's not the same because they need many characters.

Anyway I know I can't wait to play Ellie in Last of Us 2, and I am still waiting for a Perfect Dark 2 and a Eternal Darkness 2.

But I get that this is a business, and those decisions are based on marketing
