going off budgets, there's nothing the game should do better than madden. i just dont think it LOOKS bad, never said anything about how it plays.

then why should black people pay for it if it wasnt good?
because it was made by somebody black?

Name some other popular styles :popcorn:


No, it's propaganda to say that the two concepts are mutually exclusive and that advocating fair treatment is "begging whites"

*begging whites for fair treatment.

and 99.9% of the black men i see aren't rocking cornrows and 70s disco fros. not going to front and act like the majority of black men dont rock our hair low, but we have way more than 3 hairstyles :comeon:

We have 3 or 4 basic styles with different variations. All fros aren't big 70s fros, just as all fades aren't bald fades.

first off, even the reviewer of that video you posted said he enjoys the game


but choosing to support it, is a personal preference. me, i WOULD have supported it just because it was made by blacks. that opens doors for (this now dead dev team) to push forth and make better games.

we cant expect nikkas to just jump up and catch up to the pace of other groups. we've gotta crawl before we can walk. just like i go out of my way to pay more to support black business.

The heros life is saved by a man of African Descent. The 2 men steal a boat and the African reccomends saving a bunch of captive pirates from other boats that will be their crew before ultimately taking the boat that they will sail with. The 2 men go to each boat killing crews and saving captured pirates who help them take other boats. After all boats are taken the friend of African descent talks to the assassin like hey, i put in all this work where do i fit in on the ship (alluding to the fact he wants to be captain) The assassin says

(well, i think someone like you being captain might not go over well with the crew.............................................................. :youngsabo:)

The brotha is like :rudy: and then says he will take a lower position but no lower then quarter master which i guess is like the VP. They agree.

Another instance, they hit a land of so called freedom where all these pirates live by their own rules. The assassin runs up on some of his old pirate buddies like whats good friends. The pirate looks at the African and goes.

(you give him a gun????????????? :mindblown: )
and the pirate is like, (this man saved my life)

The brotha in the cut like :stylin:

Im like :camby:

Pretty much all the africans in Assassins creed 4 look like Europeans they painted with black skin. Indian basically. Theres nothing wrong with being different, friends. Sheesh.

They even have a disclaimer in the beginning of AC Black Flag.

*this game was made by a multicultural staff of various religions and beliefs*

plenty? :heh: i mean during the entire console cycle, i can name only a handful:

walking dead

Hell, and even then, they made Lee and Clem as racially ambiguous as possible. I saw Lee's family and couldn't help but :heh: A lot of people thought Clem was ASIAN. While Telltale let it be known they were both AA, they went out of their way to make them look as "diverse" as possible.
