Your basic argument is that because the game takes place in Africa, or has black or otherwise African-descent characters and/or enemies, with at least one Caucasian character defeating these enemies, it generates a racist or plausibly racist scenario.
So basically, if there's black people in it as enemies... and a white person to kill those enemies... it's racist.
Where did education go wrong? At what point did you, or the handful of others out there in the interbutts, go so horribly wrong? Do you do drugs? Were you simply born retarded? Perhaps a mixture of Tylenol and Advil during a full moon inverted certain brain functions. I dont know. Parts of Africa, including Nigeria, are pure hell. Which makes for a fantastic real-world setting in an action game because, to put it bluntly - There is no education, no lifestyle, no art, no glory, no government, no humanity and no hope other than the face of war and conflict. Children as young as 7 being trained with fully automatic weapons... it's drama at its finest for story driven entertainment. Books, games, movies, TV, music all make mention of it and the countless lives that are lost to its unending rampage.
It's the same reason entertainment uses WW2 and 1 scenarios, the middle east in ANY time line including right now and 5 thousand years ago, its why dinosaurs are fucking cool because shit with mouths the size of a Ford F150 was attacking the ass of something large to have its own habitat for other animals on its balls. It's conflict. Africa has loads of it. Hence why designers choose to center their stories around it.
were you the same person that went around saying that Jar Jar was making fun of blacks? and Holy fuck Uncharted: Drake's Fortune????? "Mostly dark people"????? DID YOU ACTUALLY SAY THAT?
Fine, no, whatever. The entire Indiana Jones series (except when he's killing nazi's) is racist and contains racist imagery. I hope you shit blood.
GR/ I dont know if you're being sarcastic in that last line about it being totally PC. Because it actually is. ;/ Not that the story was all that great or even told that well
