keyword being variation, which is what we get very little of in create a players. i dont even think i've ever seen a dude with waves in a create a player before

Def jam icon...best haircuts in gaming

lee looks pretty black, but clementine looks like a damn asian and christa is black also and she looks indian

If anything, especially compared to his fam, Lee looked racially ambiguous. You had people all across the Web uncertain of his race initially. Same with Clem. This was done intentionally, and I most Def wouldn't have known Christa was supposedly black if not for the games wiki page.

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*

Are you serious?

That's been in all the AssCreed games.

I thought christa was mixed and Clem looked like a good mix between lee and her.

Nope. Christa was completely black. To me, Clem looked Asian.

For me her hair was a giveaway. It is too coarse to be anything but black or mixed at least.

Also she reminds me a lot of my daughter, so I may have a different view.

Nah, I wouldn't tell anybody either of us are mixed. We both look and are very black. But my grandmother is Native American/Irish and my wife's grandfather is very light with green eyes.

Assasins creed black flag is racist im sorry. Im playing this game like

AC has been one of the most diverse by choice modern game series (Arab protagonist, Native American, black mixed and upcoming fully black)
I'm not that far in it but how exactly is it racist?
Anyway if you want to know why there's no black developers just look at this forum, I made a thread about the up and coming game development in the African continent from an article on polygon and it didn't even go plastic and this is a forum dominated by blacks!
it seems forum members would rather argue over how many teraflops xbox one has compared to ps4 but won't even give the black gaming industry a pity post

Games are not racist. I think they can be and sometimes are racially biased because of developers' identity.

That Deus Ex NPC though

Uncharted 1 aka genocide - the game.
