>games cannot be good if the protagonist is black
>>344790548
I've never seen anyone on /v/ say that, and if they have they're just admitting to never playing Killer7.
>first GTA to include a black protag
>first mission is to steal a bike
Would it pass if it was made today?
GTA V negro was "A good boy who dindu nuffinz"
Still, SA was the game I probably put the most hours in, since I played shitton of SA:MP
>>344790618
Why do you think people on /v/ hate Watch Dogs 2 and Mafia 3? It's just "le nigger protag xDDD" maymays yet they circlejerk over how GTASA was good.
>>344790923
It didn't pass back in the day either.
>Hot Coffee
>Instant AO rating
>>344790956
don't care about mafia, but WD2 got hated on because of the memes
and because the first one was shit
>>344790618
/pol/ has been leaking and gets triggered by black people. You can tell when they talk about Watchdogs like the first was a good game or BF1 when they talk like the campaigns matter at all.
>>344791102
They get triggered by anyone.
Which is one fun to do.
>>344790548
wasn't Kratos a black guy?
>>344790956
The first Watchdogs was garbage. Why would anyone be excited for the second? You think it'll pull a Saints Row 2 and be the best in the franchise?
Why would a Mafia game be about a black gangster? You could rename the game to, fuck, I dunno, Afro Gang Wars.
I'd play Afro Gang Wars

Voiced by a black guy
ITT: things /v/ has never said
>>344791102
I think the games as they are obviously have their faults, but I actually wonder if the developers are constantly self aware of the shit they push out, so they consciously use ethnic/minority/trendy characters as a smoke screen or a scapegoat to pull whenever the criticism gets too focused on their game.
The amount of times that defence is pulled is surprising. Well, it used to be, anyway. Standard protocol these days now.
>>344791192
God of War is also a bad game
>>344790956
/v/ doesnt say that at all. /v/ takes every chance to chimp out and yell nigga.GROVE STREET 4 LYFE
/pol/ isnt everywhere its just normies are already everywhere where propaganda tries to exists.
>>344791081
>>344791386
Whenever you see a thread about M3 WD2 75% of comments are guaranteed to be "DUDE NIGGER PROTAG LMAO", and I'm not sure it's ironic shitposting at this point.
Same goes for BF1, when the cover was released half of /v/ got triggered because "le nigger soldier".
>>344790956
>missing the point this hard
first of all, watch dogs deserves every bit of hate it can get.
and "|le nigger xD"in mafia is because it's the italian mafia, not african.
>>344791836
It's something that didn't need to happen, but they do it to pander to a certain crowd.
>>344790923
>first GTA to include a black protag
lol.
>>344790956
Nig life simulators like GTA or the escapists are an exception obviously
>>344790548
>games cannot be good if the protagonist is black
Never heard anybody say that.
But I think if something is a mafia game for example,
I wanna play as a greasy italian guy named sonny and not as obama's lost son from Lousiana.
>>344790923
>first mission is to steal a bike
That's meme magic, Anon.
Praise Kek.
Metroid is a black transgender and those games are good.
>>344790548
/v/ doesn't hate black characters. They hate shoehorned "diversity".
>>344790548
/v/ literally never says that, the problem is forced black protags at the expense of atmosphere and general consistency like Battlefield 1 or Mafia 3, it's fucking stupid and degrading to blacks to try to force them into white history, as if their actual history is so shit they need to steal white history to make up for it.
And yes I know there were some blacks in WWI but BF1 is making a deliberate point of over-representing them for PC points and you'd have to be fucking retarded not to see that.
It isn't racism, it's purely fucking rational acknowledgement of a developer catering to a specific crowd at the expense of their own game's consistency.
>>344790923
>GTA V negro was "A good boy who dindu nuffinz"
What?
>>344790956
people dislike those games because the protagonist is clearly shoveled in for the sake of diversity
gta:sa doesn't do it for diversity's sake, but for art's sake.
>>344790923
>GTA V negro was "A good boy who dindu nuffinz"
No, he wasn't.
He was a gang banger.
He wasn't trying to "escape" the street violence.
He just wanted the street violence to pay more.
>>344791528
I don't think minority characters are put in as scapegoats for design shortcomings but they certainly end up like that in the end. Only because people sperg out about them before the game comes out
>>344792732
But they literally are.
>>344791102
>black
>people
CJ was a super calm, introvert main character though.
>>344790548
R* made this game when it wasn't affirmative action to put a black guy as the protagonist. It came off as tasteful, they were basically doing genre based games at that point. A gangster game taking place in the early 90's was genius, and it came off as tasteful.
Now they just throw a black guy in with no meaning, like Watch Dogs 2 or Mafia 3.
>>344793230
>ywn be as based as fat CJ.
fuck
>>344792837
sadly, yes
but it GTA SA and V they weren't. they were black because they were supposed to be black characters
and to some degree i think mafia 3 will work fine with a black MC, since it takes places in the southern US
>>344793230
That's the thing that always weirded me out in GTA games up to fourth
>>344790548
Are you fucking kidding me I love pretending to act like stupid black people in video games
>starting cash is tree fiddly
based r*

niko's emails to his mother in GTA IV
>>344794248
>fiddly
>>344794342
the 3 protagonist game was fun and all, but the story just wasnt as gripping as IV
damn dat grey new york rip off grabbed me
That's what /pol/ says though. San Andreas is one of the best GTA games if not still the best.
CJ is the best GTA protagonist. Owned the entire state by the end of the game
