I might cop just off the strength of a Black protagonist. We're a rare breed in video games..
We're a rare breed in the game industry period. There needs to be more black devs. The more black devs there are the more solid black characters you'll get. I actually kind of agree with the troll on IGN, we need to pull ourself by the bootstraps and stop whining and start making the games WE wan't to play.
I personally thought that Franklin in GTA was a travesty, and it's sad that characters like CJ, Franklin or Cole Train are held up to be the paragons of blackness in video games.
