Sylens is amazing indeed, Bayek as well, and nearly most of the ones posted. But I'll go with Adam from SoR just for nostalgia sake.

I'll raise you the nameless Track & Field dude.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Lee Everett
Barret Wallace
Alyx Vance
Sgt. Johnson

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

These 3 as well....

 

[Bogroll]

Don't remember any. I just remember characters not there colour. But obviously scrolling through this thread I can see they are black because its pointed out.

 

[Rentahamster]

 

[P.Jack]

Please bring him back for T8

(Bruce Irvin, Tekken 2, 5, 6)

 

[AGRacing]

Thread should have been closed after this perfect response.

 

[MagiusNecros]

T-elos. Xenosaga.

 

[Tams]

TF2's Demoman.

But this 'x history' month is a load of nonsense at best, some attempts at rewriting history incorrectly (or at the least emphasising events that really didn't matter much), and mainly people smelling their own farts.

 

[arvfab]

While not my favorites, the Colt-Julianna duo in Deathloop is the only memorable thing in that game.

 

[Tschumi]

Goat game, best male toon imo.. mac can get fucked

 

[Silent Viper]

Sheva

 

[Hoppa]

 

[AV]

Officer Frank Tenpenny, one of the greatest video game antagonists.

 

[ZehDon]

The Lord of Deadside himself, Michael LeRoi. What I especially love about the character, at least in the video games, are the monologues when you encounter each new area of the game. Dripping with tone and depth, Michael's narration - voiced by the irreplaceable Redd Pepper - elevates the entire game with words alone.

 

[Haggard]

I dindu nuffin, Officer.

 

[Drew1440]

Eddie Gordo from Tekken
Malcolm from Unreal Tournament

 

[Roufianos]

Cole and Miles for sure.

Also surprised nobody's said Fortune from MGS2.

 

[GymWolf]

Someone else already picked sylens so i'm gonna go with mike perry in ufc4

Before you ask, he is 2% nigerian.

 

[SSfox]

Raven is not only by far my favorite black guy in gaming, but also my favorite Ninja of all time as well

I hope to see him back in Tekken 8 with deeper pro hacker infiltrator personality, like for example Sombra and Jensen.


Others mentions; Leroy Smith who is also from Tekken, Zasalamel from Soul Calibur, Dudley specially I'm 3.3 and Balrog specially in SFV, Master Raven is nice as well (but not as Raven).

Also Sombra, didn't played much Overwatch cause this game was fun at start but quickly became meh, but that being put apart Sombra was one of a hella dope ass character. Her hack winpose is fucking legendary!!

 

[Spaceman292]

Not even surprised by the the amount of racist joke posts. “So edgy”. What a cesspool. Delete this thread.

How can I tell that you're whiter than a snowman

 

[cash_longfellow]

this thread reminds me of that time before ff7r released and they were in the initial trailer phase leading up to release, and some clowns on “that other site” were bashing the game because Barrett sounded too black, whatever tf that means.

Anyway, fully on topic, I like him…and another of my favorites is Roland from the Borderlands series.

 

[RexAnglo]

Sorry, for a moment I thought I'd stumbled into the rancid cesspit that is Reset-Era.

As for the question, I liked Clay from Mafia 3.

 

[RexAnglo]

I can't remember any prominent black characters in any game.

Then you must be blind.

 

[sircaw]

The paladin from diablo2 is a black dude and arguably the best class in the game.

 

[k_trout]

 

[SEGA_2012]

Big Bo - Binary Domain

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Adam from SOR

Bruce Irvin from Tekken

Raven from Tekken

Jeffry from Virtua Fighter

Vanessa from Virtua Fighter

 

[MikeM]

WOOOO!

 

[Umbasaborne]

Regardless of how you feel about FF XIII, he's more than comic relief. A great character and the most relatable character in the cast. A single father with something to actually lose. A shame the trilogy done him dirty.

Sahz was great because he seemed as over all that shit as the player was, while everyone else took their role super seriously

 

[tommib]

How can I tell that you're whiter than a snowman

Not really. Brownish. Father was from the Middle East. You can find a photo of me somewhere on the forum.

But nice try deflecting racist jokes that have now been deleted with some racism coming from yourself. Stay classy.

Thanks for the good laugh!

That's a bit unnecessary, isn't it?

It's almost like you are being racist.

 

[speckz]

Grace Walker from Wolfenstein.

 

[SkeletonQuays]

Gotta be Cole Train baby, what a badass.

 

[Roberts]

Damn, I can't believe I forgot one of my all-time favorite characters in a video game even though he's not a playable character:
The Amazing Sgt Avery Johnson -- he knows what the ladies like

Yeah, I cant believe it took so many answers to get to good old Johnson.

 

[sn0man]

We gave them the smallest month. What more do you want

 

[xClout]

Shadow Man

 

[iHaunter]

How about VAs?

The chocobo in the afro sold me. I still remember the first time seeing the trailer and be happy my dormate had a PS3

"Black history month"

Yes it is a stupid concept. Relegating telling history to just one month or one race is a silly notion.

Many great chars already mentioned.

Lincoln from Mafia 3 is awesome.

Colt Vahn was great, eventhough I am not a fan of the game itself.

Lee Everett is a legend.
