Playing as a black dude

No silly not the stereotypical shop owners, I said business owners (some other suspiciously similar traits mentioned earlier). Gnomes have a natural ability for economics which is the corner stone for any successful business. Did we all forget why Hitler came to power?

(Dear lord I’ve just associated Hitler with Gnomes I really hope you can see the relationship I’m trying to establish)

Its really not that big of a deal to me, I never said I was an activist and being an immigrant I know the only way to actually get somewhere in life is to work for it. I just didn’t want to turn the GTA:IV thread into this, so I started a separate one for the topic. I was just very disappointed that I am the only one that did not have a problem with GTA SA because it revolved around black culture. Fallout wasn’t really supposed to be dragged into this (still expected being a Fallout fan site) I think my point was proven when I asked “What do you think the really reason behind this is?” and some goon responded with

Now that’s just bullshit, there are plenty of memorable black people in music, movies, sports and politics.

Your right its not a big deal.

 

Sorrow said Arcanum had half-orcs, instead of black people and I’m missing the point? Are you kidding me, that game was a mockery of our society during the industrial revolution in respect to the different races. If it was just about fictional creatures that had no association which each other then I would never say that a gnome might have been based on the stereotypical jew. But in a game universe where racism plays a factor is it that hard to look behind the big picture. To realize that certain races are actually portraying real life ethnicity? Do you remember when the orcs were on strike and they wanted to unionize ? I could have sworn I read about a very similar scenario only it wasn’t the orcs on strike.

 

That was in regard to the "Hopeful features in GTA IV" thread. The only reason I started this thread is because having a black protagonist smeed to be everyone’s biggest problem, which you can see for yourself if you read the GTA:IV thread. I know the game is very popular and lots of people I know play it.

 

SA had better feature by far then any GTA game to date so its safe to say it wasn’t the game play. So what’s left the story and characters, what and who was the story about? and not likening the story might be a result of what?

Case and point, Tommy Vercettie ran his mouth just as much if not more then CJ. And all three of them were psychopaths. What did Tommy and Speed have in common as appose to CJ?

Hence playing the role of a hood rat?



I’m the crazy one I just want people to admit the real reason why they didn’t enjoy the game.

That’s what it was always about. I really do love this topic.

 

No shit I’m from NYC. But seriously one of my friends is a gym/health teacher at a Jr. High school in Jamaica Queens it’s a ghetto and every 6th-8th grader he asks “what do you want to be when you grow up” 90% of them say I want to be a rapper why cuz they gangsta!!

One of my favorite professors in my University is black; He and I talk about this type of shit all the time. The reason we get along so well is because we both know that we are a bit racist.

No I don’t assume anything, my question is why some people give a game of lower quality where the plot is a white criminal more credit then a game of higher quality where the plot is a black criminal? Either way their not role models

Criticize San Andreas all you want. You didn’t like the Girlfriends, the Hood attacks, Radio station, stats in the game that is perfectly fine. But as I have shown you people did have a problem with both CJ and the Story. Doesn’t that make you wonder why? Not all black people criminals, just like not all white people are criminals. But for some reason people(This is limited to the thread at this point) prefer to play with one type of criminal over another.
