A man with patrician taste right here
As long as the character's whole identity isn't being black, there's literally nothing wrong with it
Sazh was a sick pilot with a chocobo in his fro, and he just happened to be black
It's when you start trying to tackle social inequity and drumpf in vidya that people get tired of it
Fuck, I'm black and I'm tired of that shit

Social Media is largely controlled by virtue signalling faggots who have game devs convinced they are the majority when it fact they are a tiny minority.

They'll get it eventually, but many more games will have to fail.

And for the most part, these are all have interesting designs. I couldn't care less about the skin color of the character, but at least put some effort into the design instead of making them all black chicks with afros and a 70s look.

He's my fav black character.


SF characters are a mix of irl martial artists, movie stars, sportsmen and anime. Boxer he's based on Iron Mike, which is a fucking beast of a famous boxer.
Since Iron Mike is black, it does make sens that Boxer is black.
Since Iron Mike is vicious, violent and greedy, Boxer is vicious, violent and greedy too.

Boxer isn't pandering. Boxer isn't SJW nor blackface. Boxer is just your best anime Mike Tyson.

Balrog (Boxer) hands down. He's way more memorable than your losers.

Boxer is the perfect SF character: anime version of something globally famous.

Deejay on the other hand is the less inspired character in the whole SF universe.

I just got done playing Resident Evil on the Gamecube for the first time.

I played RE5 around 2010 I think, and I always believed how "it's not a resident evil game". Fuck you, yes it was. It's an action Resident Evil game. But wouldn't you expect Chris Redfield to have gotten gud at killing zombies by now? If he still stumbled around like an idiot I'd be disappointed.

Also there's some references and just general gameplay aspects that I recognised were done as a callback to REmake. When examine those weird meat things the majinis are processing you're told it's "meat of unknown origin", like the meat in the basement of the Spencer Mansion. You collect gemstones, not for puzzles sadly but for money. You can read gratuitous amounts of lab research documents and other files to soak up some background story, and build some atmosphere.

The graphics are still fucking great. I busted out my 360 to play some Mercenaries lately and it's still fun, especially since now I've got some pretty good routes and character strategies figured out.

Also Sheva was great. Sexy, but with some character, and not a generic "black woman because diversity" appeasement.

She doesn't fall under any character stereotype, she's just positive, supportive, loyal and competent. The perfect PARTNAH.

Many retards didn't like her because they don't know how to control the AI or make it effective.

>Leave her on Cover unless you absolutely need the firepower
>Give her health times
>Give her the SVD
>Give her weapons with penetration capability
>Give her a magnum
>Give her the protective vests (or don't because they cover part of her pretty skin)

Bam, you are set. She is the fucking terminator with the SVD or any other sniper rifle.

RE5 gets memed a lot, it's pretty sad. My only problem with RE5 on consoles is that you can't turn off the piss filter, even there is pointless option for extra filters in the game.

>Mario is a randumb faggy platformer. Talking mushrooms and evil turtles? They definitely want the Twitch audience for wacky streaming.

>Metal Gear Solid? This is just a meme game. They even mention memes! Why am I just running around in cover while these non-sequitur bad guys attack me in this stupid popamole cinematic """"shooter""""?

>>380302979
What this thread proves is that it's been normal to see black people in video games for approx. forever. What's new is that the industry, in accordance with today's norms, feels the need to engage with the audience constantly and on every little aspect of their work.

I think pointing out "hey we made a black character" is problematic because it makes it seem like there's something unusual and newfangled about that. It's a sort of dog whistle. There's no such thing as a pointless fight for publicists -- if it pisses off the trolls, and the SJW crowd gets counterpissy, that's invaluable metabuzz and any related coverage inevitably makes the company look like they are being somehow brave

I think most black people would like be represented in media as though they belong there, not as though it's a challenge to some authority. The only authority is the market, which is obviously keen on seeing more diversity in games and esp. among protagonists so congrats publishers on deciding to sell more games. Most of the characters in this thread are NPCs or part of a cast with no lead, i.e. fighters.

I get your point, but even if something has a potentially good result, I'm not sure about the implications or the person's intentions. Do you think most of those devs actually care about black people or do they really just want brownie points? It's like affirmative action. Sure, getting a new job is great, but did they actually think I was the most qualified, or did they really just give it to me to say they did? Now it doesn't feel like I really accomplished much of anything.

>What this thread proves is that it's been normal to see black people in video games for approx. forever.

It doesn't show that because the characters in this thread make up probably half the amount of blacks in games yet there are thousands of games in existence.

Pulling some hyperbolic numbers out of my ass, there's like 1 brown character with a name and voice per every 50 games.

I have the same issues with AA and I also think it's impossible to know for sure what anybody's intentions are any of the time. I mean, who can you ask? Not the person whose intentions you want to know.

I'm white, so I know what it means to get breaks I'm not sure I deserve. I've decided to just take them and act grateful, and it's everyone else's problem to figure out why they do or don't do the right thing. I'd like it if people made more diverse games just because they'd be more interesting, but ultimately I'm only going to play the ones that are actually interesting -- meanwhile, it'll become more normal, just like it's become more normal to hire black people onto a job without being forced to. That's good, but nobody deserves thanks for it, and certainly, neither do game devs

Black characters use to have actual work put into them, not just forced. Sassy black woman with afro is probably the easiest shit to design and write.

They wanna earn points with black people and the "diversity" liberal cunts, and it will work because those people don't realize how shallow the characters are.

Usually not.

With the way anime characters are drawn, there usually isn't a large focus on their nationality. Characters are made to look "universal" and then a person's mind fills in the blanks. I've noticed this pattern where I ask people from different regions about what they think anime characters look like and their answer will vary. I've met Mexicans (from Mexico, not Mexican-Americans) that unironically believe characters like Pegasus Seiya are the same race as them since, again, with how anime characters are drawn, they could just be light skinned Mexicans for all they knew. I've asked asians the same question and they'll say "he's definitely Japanese". I'm sure some will bring up hair color, but a lot of anime characters have hair colors of an unnatural palette anyway. How many people are born with purple or blue hair?

Anyway, the easiest way to tell is the name, most of the time. Look at these two characters. Left is Fuudo Yusei, a Japanese man. His name is written with Kanji (Chinese characters) so it's obvious that he is supposed to be of asian descent. Compare him to his rival on the right, Jyakku Atorasu (Jack Alus). His name is written in Katakana (phonetics). This is how the names of foreigners are written since there are no Chinese characters for the names of westerners.

>situation in japan
people who make games: ~100% japanese
people wh play those games: 85% japanese, 15% weebs from abroad

so the default is that games made by white people for white people are full of white people, and games made by japanese for japanese are full of japanese.

now suddenly we get a bunch of companies putting a bunch of niggers in their games, while at the same time putting out press releases about how much they love diversity.
so we ask "what did they mean by this?" and "why do they do this?" and the answers we get are buzzwords like "representation" and "diversity" - which essentially boils down to "we do it because that's our political agenda".

naturally, when you enter politics and pick a side, you end up alienating the other side. companies pander to the left, they alienate the right. that's why the backlash happens. it's not as simple as "lmao drumpftards triggered by black people" that creates the backlash - it's the ideology, the political platform that these companies openly profess to, that creates the backlash.

Ironically, the oh-so racist, xenophobic Japs make cool looking non white characters with interesting stories and with no ulterior agenda.

That's not what I was implying.

What I meant was "a bunch of people get angry about offensive stereotypes" when that's basically 95% of game character thanks to lazy writing all around. I see people, even on /v/, saying things like "name a GOOD gay character" and then when you give an example, they'll go "kek, he said this one thing I don't like, so it doesn't count". What I'm asking is, would these people put this much examination towards a non-gay character? Most game writers are hacks and washouts that couldn't make it in Hollywood or as real writers, so they're forced to write for video games. Look at someone like Kratos. He's practically a one note character most of the time with his focus and motivation being revenge. Or look at games with excuse plots like Bad Dudes. Why do people not complain about shitty writing in those? How about the plot of Virtua Fighter? Most of the characters haven't had any real development in several installments. Akira is still just training to become the best and nothing more. Is that okay? Should they push extra hard to give him a new motivation? It would be like complaining about a flat character in Naruto that is also a different race or whatever. Half of the characters are written like shit in it anyway, so why is it a big deal now? This isn't even shocking or surprising when the protagonist already has a bunch of flaws.

Do you mean that people wouldn't even mind/notice the shitty writing if the devs didn't make a big deal about their agenda since they'd have a lower standard of expectation?

Only one character has what you'd describe as a 'fuck whitey' attitude, and she's living in a world run by Nazi's and Klansman, so it would make sense in this case. In fact, now that I think about it, she doesn't even have that seeing how she willingly working with white people even before the protagonist showed up. Her attitude is more of a 'fuck Nazi's' one more than anything, but that doesn't matter to folks like you. All you see is what you want to see.

a decade ago, a black character was just a character, his skin color was one among dozens of his characteristics, and nobody really cared about it because lol video games.
today, a black character is openly declared a political statement by the industry and by the media. so naturally, like with every other political topic that exists, you get people endlessly arguing and bitching about it.

You've never seen people complain about stereotypes in games? I recall a bunch of people complaining about Lamar saying nigga too much in GTA V and specifically remember Jim Sterling complaining about Letitia in Deus Ex being an offensive stereotype (though not much about the Chinese characters, oddly enough).

Personally, I think that that the issue is that a lot of devs, when trying to write non-white male characters is that they don't actually know much about the groups they're writing about and end up writing really embarrassingly bad dialogue that seems even more stilted than usual. Sure, most white male characters are bad as well, but as someone that is actually black, I assure you that a lot of writers don't seem to know how black people actually talk and it just comes off as "I watched BET for 5 minutes, time to write this script" which I find way worse than just "Eh, too lazy to fix this plot hole or give this character a good motivation".

>political agenda

This has got to stop. Game companies don't have "political agendas," they have sales tactics.

An agenda is a set of policy priorities. What priorities does a game company have? It is to sell products, to solidify a loyal customer base, and sell more products. Mainly to young people. Young people have politics, and so companies appeal to that. Always have. If there were a wide network of anonymous discourse throughout the 80's and 90's, you'd see the same arguments playing out. Back then, people usually had to put their names or faces to what they said, and so bigots mainly kept it tight, and radicals mainly preached to the choir, leaving the debates to braver and more influential people.

The sooner that people like you cut the shit, the sooner this business will take a backseat and some other outrage will take its place. It is every bit as gratifying to them to see you resisting them as it is for you to resist. Bunch of babies, all of you.

So now we're back to "that's just the way it is" and yet when we get back to the current state of the market with all its diversity that suddenly doesn't fly any more. It's just an endless circle of contrarianism that never ends at any definite position.

This is not GameFAQs or Reddit. /v/ is anonymous. Why would anyone be afraid to just say they're? You have nothing to lose from it. What's going to happen? Some people get upset with that anon for one thread? Oh fucking well. Some people genuinely dislike some characters given how they are written. Not all bad writing is equal.

But games made by Japanese people are FULL OF white characters you dumb retard

Do you think Japanese gamers scream "FORCED DIVERSITY" when they see Mario, Link, Samus?
>>
>>380323896
That's just Japs wanting the international market. They know that white people won't buy the game otherwise. This isn't even censorship, it's marketing. If you want a good example of this (though not with race,) look at Arc System works. They made Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, which most Americans don't give a shit about or think look gay/retarded. As such, their sales aren't so good. Later, they decided to just reskin their GG engine with Dragon Ball Z characters and now Americans actually want to play a game from them based on the IP alone.

Whites are the primary buyers of games in the west, so it figures they'd make characters white in hopes of more western sales. Blacks don't buy games nearly as much simply because there aren't as many of them in most western countries compared to whites.

>I recall a bunch of people complaining about Lamar saying nigga too much in GTA V and specifically remember Jim Sterling complaining about Letitia in Deus Ex being an offensive stereotype (though not much about the Chinese characters, oddly enough).
Yeah, when there's an actual offensive stereotype, you'll hear SJWs, and not a peep from /v/ about lazy writing. If anything you'll hear them defend the dev's "creative freedom" or "artistic integrity" or something along those lines. But a strong black woman? Oh, now /v/ is offended. Because it's just so poorly written.
>>
>>380323769
I'm just saying you shouldn't be surprised by it. Having a Korean protagonist in a Japanese game would probably be interesting, but should that be expected as the standard? It's no real shock that games are going to use characters that look like what they think their audience wants instead of some group that's probably not as familiar to them.

I have no idea but it's clearly the case. People will wring themselves into some very weird turns in order to avoid admitting that their complaints are grounded in racism. Maybe they're normies who aren't used to giving their honest opinion. Maybe they're trying to coordinate their shitposting across several sites and trying to maintain plausible deniability. Maybe they're trying to be subtle to better bait people. Maybe they're in denial about it to themselves. Who knows.

>That's just Japs wanting the international market.
I think there's more to it than that. For instance: Mario was made in the image of an ex-GI who worked as a janitor at Nintendo. I think they did that specifically because an Italian-American guy is an oddity at a Japanese company, and the Japanese like an oddity. It has charm. It's both enviable and inviable to be one yourself in their society.

The issue of pluralism is a lot more fraught in pluralistic societies because just bringing it up may have actual consequences for us. For societies diametrically opposed to that, it's a novelty and it's harmless, in part because public/civic trust tends to run a lot higher.

It's denial.
Most Americans are to some degree racist. But they are also quite effectively instilled with the idea that racism and racists are bad. This has been done through a relentless trend of narrative history and moralist fiction. They really don't have any racist heroes -- take R.E. Lee, who any Dixie kid will point out complied with Emancipation, and then fought for state's rights. They buy the fundamental idea that racism is bad, in part because they've had to; so they invent parallel reasons to hold the same beliefs. All but a few of them are aware of themselves, and all but a few will quite sincerely deny that they are racist.

Boogeymen like the Klan and the Nazis and the rest of the radical right are the most extreme expressions of racism, and they are emblematic. Real, effective racism, the average racism of the average voter, employer, cop or cashier, is much subtler. It's incredibly easy for moderately racist people to convince themselves they are not racists if they fall short of those boogeymen.

Real talk, pretty much EVERY new game they showed off at E3 with white male characters looked boring as fuck. 90% of the fucking time, white male protagonists in vidya are boring and forgettable as shit anyway. I'm not sure why everyone's complaining about devs suddenly making boring and forgettable non-white characters, like it's somehow so much worse.
