Also, there' s two black characters in Perfect Dark: Zero, Both females. The one that Jo talks to on the Radio (or whatever it is) In the first level.

And then that other one.. cant remember her name, but she' s evil (You fight her in some stupid simulator or whatever it is).


Ones Russian, and the other one is chinese....

WHERE' S THE BLACK IN THAT?

Have you played it properly?

I know they are very, very VERY tanned, but they are definitely not black I can
assure..

However, Jo Dark IS!!

Well, it seems there are some black main characters after all. And some of them are even women. That' s nice. Very few of the games were good though which is kind of sad but whatever. I' ve barely played any of the mentioned games though but some of them are worth trying I guess.
I like the Swat games where you can choose different characters because the black guys there are normal guys.
I' m looking forward to the day when we get a black main character in Final Fantasy .
One of my favourite black characters is Axel in the Twisted Metal series. Sadly he follows the stereotype of a black male but he' s a classic that' s been around for a while. I love the ending in Twisted Metal Head-On:
SPOILER WARNING

*Axel in pain*
Axel: " I... wish... for... peac... (tries to say " peace" )
*Proffessor pushes button that gives Axel more pain*
Axel (screams out in pain): " zaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
Calypso: " Pizza. Pizza? Your wish for pizza is granted"
Axel: Nooooooooooo!
Pizza appears...
I just love those twisted endings .

Anyway, I' d like to see black characters appear as a natural part of games. Right now you only see black characters (or other ethnic " minorities" ) when the developers go " Oh yeah, we need a black dude here" . And then they follow all the stereotypes.
Kind of... ?

Nope well i have played it through once, hastily, but i never thaught of her as a chinese, it just didnt get to me.

Ok, ok, the other one was chinese, but where did you get the russian stuff? http://perfectdark.3dactionplanet.gamespy.com/pdzero/characters.php

Check Chandra Sekhar, She looks pretty damn black to me.

Trust me, if you have heard the way she speaks and looks in the game, you can
tell she is russian...

She doesn' t look like that at all in the game.

Don' t stereotype the big lips, big eyes and flared nostril features... She really is
russian.. c' mon with terms like...

" Tasty... Ooohh.. did I say that out loud?"

No, she is not referring to a chicken breast.

.....it would rock!....

(..if i sound excited, it' s cause i just ordered Tekken5 online for less than the price of a memory card!!..)

Firstly to dasher232, don' t try and play it like you are the ONLY black person in
these forums ok?

If you were up to date with the discussions, you would find that I too am black.

Secondly, the comments are just a JOKE, now if I can accept them from MYSELF
please stop b!tching.

And..

the reason I said:


Errrr.... (To the above)

Edit: Oh you added something... was wondering...


Was because when you first made the post, all that was there was Bishonen' s quote.

THAT' S ALL!

So when I saw it, it was just a post of a quote... nothing else, which is why I added...


Edit: Oh you added something... was wondering...


When you added some text.


...someone should remind him that Kikizo is home for Sony haters, not nazis...


Hehe.. Good 1 Bish, none of my quotes contain any flair of Nazism in them..

I know how Nazi' s react to coloured people, trust me, I have seen Neo-Nazis, and I
have been to Germany, what I am saying is not a speck of dust on how the germans reacted to my presence in their country..

So dasher, don' t be so quick to puff out your chest in the slightest hostile moment.

That is all.

No WAY!

It' s mostly isolated pockets of ignorant people.

But the stuff they say... dasher232 may just bring out a knife or something.

It didn' t affect me though, because I generally don' t LISTEN to that kind of stuff.

Never go to a German Pub though if your coloured.

Did you hear about that stuff in the World Cup?

Nein. Was geschah? Waren die Deutschen gefährlich?
Ich bin nie nach Deutschland gewesen. Aber sie scheinen nett. Möglicherweise hatten Sie Unglück?

Tiz my response to your comment had nothing to do with your colour in the first place or squaring up to ' ' puff out' ' my chest as you so put it so the whole thing about me acting like i' m the only black person that uses the forms is a bit random and pointless (no offense) the reason why I said it like I said before is that now and again things are funny but when they' re constant the effect wears off. As for the neo nazi thing and I must get a knife out at the slightest thing i' ve had my fair share of the racism thing (even on here) and to be honest I always have and always will ignore it....anyway i' ll leave it there.

on a slightly different note..does anyone know who imeredithi is I forgot...
