Since when is Jade black?

 

[Swagnificent]

[MeachTheMonster]

Streets of rage is one of the first games i remember having a black protagonist

My bad, I knew I would forget some good ones.

Since when is Jade black?

The developers intentionally made her race ambiguous, but many gamers over the years have pointed out the possibility of her being part black or half black, so I mentioned Beyond Good and Evil because of the one-drop rule.

Most of our protagonists are big walking stereotypes that use their brawn over their brains. I would like more games like Saints Row which have a black sensibility and allow you to customize your character the way you see fit.

Ahh, that makes no sense.

Saint's Row is def' stereotypical.

I've always thought it poked fun at the stereotypes most whites define us by for satirical effect, kind of like the early episodes of The Boondocks. The difference between Saints Row and FF7 is that it doesn't take itself seriously to the point where the stereotypes are offensive.

 

[Invisible Man]

That's one of the buggiest games in existence. The main character wasn't bad though.

It's past time for me to play the series over, again.

Though, I've only beat the last 2 (it was hard to get into the first two after playin' Third), lemme play the devil's advocate; Boondocks is made by a black man...Saints Row is not. I can't buy that.
