Thread appreciation for African . Caribbean or African american characters.
I always thought Caribbean people were cool in TV games and never appreciated enough.

The first pic I chose is African American I think for Axel, here’s another one

This one is obviously Sir Michael Jackson himself,
Thankfully they made this game before he went insane and turned his skin over. Still it was a dope game for its time and didn’t turn out cheesy at all surprisingly. You can thank Mr Jackson’s style for that, what a cool legend

You did this thread all wrong. If you want to get black characters thrown at you - say there's none in video games because white people are racist. Guaranteed 200 replies with lots of relevant responses.

Another favourite of mine, always loved Baret in the games. A goofy but loveable character with a strong spirit

Every character was special in this game, can only leave it to the Japanese to make respectable African American characters

For my third pic, Oil Man. Not everyone played Powered Up, but it was a surprisingly entertaining reimagining of the Blue Bomber's first outing. To this day, Oil Man remains the only black representation in the series (unless you count the Dark Man robots from 5.)

>Tommy Vercetti: You picked the wrong side, Lance.
felt bad I had to dead him. I always thought it was because Tommy was making moves and keeping him in the dark. Everytime Lance screwed up Tommy chews him out in front of everyone.
>Ken Rosenberg: Tommy, I never liked that guy, okay? He's neurotic, he's insecure, he's self-centered - the guy's an asshole! I'm glad you took him out!
I didn't know why Ken said that not until I played Vice City Stories and saw what a piece of shit he was. Now I don't regret it at all.

I'll be posting a few. I appreciate video games because they never have a Black character purely just for diversity like in the dozens of tv shows. It always feels natural and goes well in the game.

CJ and Demoman were probably my two earliest Black video game characters and both are awesome(even if one has less "story").

Among others are:
Lee and Clementine from Walking Dead
Alxy Vance and Eli from Half Life
Louis and Coach from L4D.

One thing I hate is that still to this day in any video game with hair designs the Black hairstyles always suck ass. The devs always get lazy and half-ass hair texture.

I used to play Double Dragon with my friend at this public location as a kid. Whenever a nigger enemy appeared on screen my retarded friend would shout out loud "nigger". It was hilariously embarassing.

Was Big Smoke the better villain than Tenpenny? The two were kind of a duo, but Smoke was behind more of it, was more personal as a former friend and got a boss fight.
