We get it, you don't like black people. Congrats on such a brave, stunning and different way of thinking on the 'chan.
Who tf likes black people. Even black people don't like black people.
I LIKE WHITE AFRICAN CULTURE
they never have an answer to this
What if Pikmin but they're a bunch of little tribal dudes wrangling ants and stuff?
their culture is getting enslaved.
what about yakub? i think he is pretty cool
slavery was tight
Africans and including African-Americans have more culture than white Americans could possibly fathom. The US is a cultural void. Their culture is porn and football
which parts?
Terrible bait, post hands
Yakub is unironically hilarious.
How am I wrong? Everything notable about America was created by blacks and even your sports are dominated by them.
Amerimutt makes fun of "non existent" African cultures
has done nothing to contribute to his own culture
couldn't even build a mud hut if his life depended on it
can barely process his own loneliness and projection at being nothing
This is why Anon Babble will always be filled with double faggots.
He's African-American Folklore not African Folklore.
I mean you ain’t wrong, all of Africa was conquered by Europeans (yea, even fabled Ethiopia fell to the Italians under Mussolini, and that sliver on the west coast was owned by the United States, and they tried to ship all the freed niggers back, who upon returning, just enslaved the local africans lol). With nearly half falling to the Arabs, with some arabs of high ranking considered the black africans to be lower than an ape and not worthy of being taught islam.
For what it’s worth I like the tribal masks, and the Pygmies (rip little guys, you were sacrificed on the altar of “diversity” as bantu blacks can do no wrong), and the so called voodoo and frens which is really just African+European+Christianity folklore all mixed together, but that’s it, compare (black) africa to any other continent or culture, and next to the abbos of Australia, they come in dead last for interest and interesting things. It’s why you see so much “we wuz shiet”.
that's not even folklore, its schizo shit
the african equivalent would be that christian cult from congo that thinks some mzimbungu was a second coming of christ
This is the only other African legend I heard of that isn't just dinosaurs.
This guy is annoyed at my aggressive non-videogame posts.
He must LOVE black people!
i feel the same way about Asian folklore.
You've seen one gay story about FAMI-RY honor, you've seen them all.
Nope it's their actual mythology.
The african throwing knives look pretty cool
they didnt have metal or knives anon. that came after euro contact, therefor not traditional
I like the story about the lake that made people white but the Africans showed up late so all that was left was a puddle and they just had enough water for the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.
I know you mean sub saharan africans, but you should be more specific because some asshole will obviously mention North/East Africans.
I like the story where a guy gets super cursed so he cuts off his entire body and puts his own head into a medicine bag and is taken care of by his sister, and just chills the rest of the story as a wise old head.
They were traditionally made from stone and bone prior to the use of steel. So while the steel part may have come from after euro contact, the shape and weapon itself did not.
You know if Ubisoft really wanted to make a black protag so bad i'd play a zulu assassin who needed to sneak around to kill colonisers because they have guns and you'd need to be sneaky to not get lit up
The reason it isn't used is because African Americans don't care about African culture outside of a handful of Ivy League campuses.
They simply aren't interested in it.
Even their chuddy faction isn't, they prefer Egyptian culture.
trannies start malding when anyone that's not black enough for them takes inspiration from african culture.
Jews are focused on replacing europeans with non-europeans in european culture and naturally have no interest in showing african culture
Black Americans don't even know anything about African folklore.
bone and stone
so they were "throwing blunt objects"
I mean one guy had a pretty awesome concept but they fucking got him.
Be racist first, logic second
mummies
pyramids
anubis/sphinx/etc
"Egyptian" aesthetics in general
tf you mean rarely used?
Inb4 nooo~ Egypt isn't "African"
Egyptian folklore is African folklore so they've actually got a wealth of stories to tell.
Here's the kind of shit that's part of their folklore; they literally try to kill bald niggas over there because they think they're hiding gold inside their heads.
Great replacement
Jews
FUCKING KEK
like what?
Yakub, unironically.
cannibalism is indeed very cool!
WAIT STOP BEING RAYCISS NAO
Disney make an earnest attempt to use black folk tales to make a movie
several decades later, everyone thinks it's racist
Doing shit like this is entering a minefield.
There's a reason why african folklore and culture is rarely used
Only 4 mythologies get used and Japanese is 4th only because japs love to push that horse shit.
You'll never heard anyone complaining about Italian mythology never being used.
Also Voodoo is a cool part of African mythology and you can find that in alot of media
god damn, that QVEEN
You're an actual retard, Iron working either originated in Africa or spread there very shortly after it's discovery.
Lizard people are pretty cool
Bones can't be pointed
Rocks can't be knapped to an edge
Look anon, we get that you have niggers. We all hate niggers. But you're jumping through retarded hoops to try and justify it when it isn't needed. Pic related is considered a knife despite being made of stone and wood.
Egyptians weren't "Africans"
Where's Egypt, Mansley?
cringe thread
Somewhere in india
You cant just cringe your way through life, anon.
you know damn fucking well that when leftcucks say african, they mean sub-saharan
Kino...
Electric cars and rocket ships
no such thing as egypt. fake news invented by juice.
You just know.
"African culture has nothing to pull from!"
Has never read or watched anything about or related to it.
Like what?
wakanda
Idk, I've never read anything about it
kek
Ah yes the magical science niggas, how could I forget
Dude just make shit up. A warrior spirit tigerman that gathers strength from worshipers conquest in battle. Maybe make a mobey dick style movie about an old nigga that wants to hunt a white lion.
spiders
I assume they've got some cool demons and spirits and shit.
Tigers are Asia. Lion or Leopard for Africa.
It's an inferior culture, not interested in it being celebrated in any way
No one ask fag
Anansi the Spider gets into danger during a journey and is saved by his six sons, each using their unique talents—such as finding trouble, seeing far, and building roads. After returning home safely, Anansi wants to reward one of them with a bright globe he finds in the sky, but he can't decide who helped the most. In the end, the gods place the globe in the sky for everyone to see, and it becomes the moon.
The EU is filled with kike worshipping crypto-kikes like Ursula von de Leyen.
Say what you want, but this is Tribe shit done unto European countries, removing the host culture bit by bit, until you don't recognize your neighbors, every new shop being a drug den disguised as kebab place or a barber shop with blacked out windows, until everyone is properly demoralised and unwilling to do anything anymore and we're all living in a low trust shit hole.
We'll all be Schwabian golems in the new global europe.
Sundiata would make for a nice game
lmao
You’re projecting really hard here lmao
game centered on albinos getting genocided and cannibalized
Could be kino
The sad part is that you think you have a point.
The only thing that originated in Africa is hunger and thirst
Lmao what, did you just paste the first African kids book you found on Google
Pathetic
Tak and the power of Juju
Why aren't there any vidya about Paul Bunyun and Johnny Appleseed terraforming the US
Thread asking what eaxmples there are of African folklore
Posts an example of African Folklore
Does it matter that he used google? No shit none of us are gonna know anything about fucking African folklore, religion, culture aside from those weird hoop lip things and giraffe neck rings. But apparently he's putting in more effort to answer than you are.
That's not Asian folklore, tho. Quite literally one of the hardest things to deal with for Japanese localisers as western movies/games set in Japan just rave about HONOR everything but there isn't even a fucking word for it in Japanese. On top of the fact they need to make the character appear at least somewhat reasonable and believable, which can get pretty hard.
If you want actual Asian stories, you'll need to watch shit from there. HK cinema, Gook movies, JP... maybe some classic dramas.
North Africa =/= Sub-Sahara Africa
and they had far more influence from whites then blacks
I think North Africa was influenced by the mid-east more
Africa is Africa. You can't say it's only half
Yakub and NoI is a small irrelevant American cult propped up by glowies in the 1950s to divide the civil rights movement nobody gives a shit about except the most deranged of schizos.
You see it everywhere online because their batshit insane beliefs are fucking hilarious.
ive been watching three kingdoms and i like how different the story telling is. they do babble on about honour quite a lot, but its chinese. its interesting how some things do not translate at all
According to elon's bot:
Anansi the spider (Akan)
Sundiata epic (Mandinka)
Mwindo epic (Nyanga)
Kirikou (West African)
Mami Wata (various coastal cultures)
Nyame sky god (Akan)
Eshu trickster (Yoruba)
Ogun iron god (Yoruba)
Nommo ancestors (Dogon)
Bumba creation myth (Kuba)
Unkulunkulu creator (Zulu)
Tsoede bronze myths (Nupe)
Waaqa sky deity (Oromo)
Ruhanga creator (Banyoro)
Kalumba lizard trickster (Luba)
But i imagine most of these are probably nothing too interesting
chudfags just dont know shit about anything except le hecking rome and ww2 anyway so who gives a fuck what they think
This is the only game I can think of and it's pretty decent. I remember there being uncensored African booba, and being a relatively tough game (maybe it was just skill issue on my part).
It's Fr*nch of course.
Kirikou is actually kino. French made a cartoon from it but it was too based for the American audience.
Most screenshots wouldn't even pass on 4chins.
Kek posted right after mine
We get it, you don't like black people.
finally
it took years but you finally got it
You make an african culture game if you love it so much
re5 uses african culture
still thought as a racist game
WE WUZ KANGZ
all dna testing shows egyptian rulers had european dna
Not really mythology or folklore, but their swords were cool.
It really doesn't
WE WERE ROYALTY AND SUCH!
WHAT DOES THE BLACK SAY
actually its
we were monarchs and such
And even within 3K, like the earliest version of the novel was actually all about karma.
Starts with a random guy in heaven asked to judge the character of the people who made Han dynasty but got fucked in return. He goes through their deeds and assigns them to the people in 3K.
The guy who usurped everyone to set up Han? Reincarnated as the last head of Han, usurped by everyone and seeing his empire crumble to ashes.
Etc., ect. Once he's done judging everyone, Heaven decides he is indeed a good judge of character and reincarnates him as... Sima Yi, the dude who takes it all and wins. But this still usurps the karmic balance so the karma of the good deeds done by Liu Bei manifest in his descendant fucking over the Jin dynasty, just to preserve the balance.
>all dna testing shows egyptian rulers had european dna
Back to Anon Babble, wigger. You don't even know what 'european dna' means.
In the benigging
rulers
Who cares what the planted "kings" were. All royalty family trees are tangled together anyway. Kings of England, Germany, Russia, Greece, Norway and more were all cousins at one point. None of them were genetically natives to whatever country they ruled
Just answer the question.
Build a hut, if you're so great
That's credit by association. Not the same thing, chud
Yemenite
Damn I didn't know وي واز كانقس ان شييييييت
I only African folklore I know of is Br'er Rabbit, but that's racist apparently.
Yes you can.
Niggers don't have any culture. Better people gave them everything they have.
They have more eastern dna since thats were egyptians originate from
What exactly counts as culture to you?
angry indian or nog seething over the truth
I had no problem with black people until Obama and DEI came along and made everyone racist again.
south african souls would be kino and I will die on this hill
there were literally cultures in africa that practiced steel forging before europeans came desu
Grootslang inspired monster would be cool
Zulu spears are fucking kino close combat weapons
GW1 Nightfall did it right, done by WRPGfags. GW2 PoE is a retarded take, done by SJW from Washington
Sonic Unleashed has a really cool Afrikan stage.
Pzzt error error
Error 405: this contradicts the "nigger whorship" talking point
Lmao
you don't like black people
Correct
Retard doesn't know what obsidian is
Egypt
I don't like chinamen either but they have some pretty good mythological aesthetics and the "YOU ARE COURTING DEATH" vibe is very amusing.
Not gonna lie I use elf-yakub a lot in world building.
Did he create humans or dwarfs?
Zoomzooms don't know about Akuji
Honestly, GW Nightfall is my favorite game and setting of all time, I had a blast playing it, both as a native Dervish and as a Ascalon Necromancer. Fuck that blind ass bitch ho though, nigga stole my rightful godhood.
Make sure to play on the 12/15th going forward as it’s the 20th anniversary, and they are surprisingly adding new stuff to do, including permanent quests.
I do like black people. I hate Jews though
Thaks for reminding me. I almost forgot the anniversary is soon.
new update for Deckplay
The dev that the game needed.
Africans made a much better Devil May Cry adaptation than Pooflix
youtube.com
you play as a negro that eats albinos to restore his magic juju
Ninja
Holy fucking kino.
america had culture before the natives were wiped out
damn these rock.what is the blue one made of?
Arrogant young master, you better take back the dislike for the divine chinese sect or your Heavenly Dragon Buster will rape the grave of your ancestors for nine generations.
I like a lot of the more schizo-like creatures like pic rel.
In the middle east
Wasn't that Tales of Kenzera game about African mythology? No one cared about it.
I was just about to post him. The stories are generally pretty entertaining, one of them has Br'er Rabbit trick Br'er Fox into eating and cooking his own wife.
160+ replies
there's no even single example of well known and cool African folklore ITT
So, that anon from OP's screenshot is right?
based biblical times poster
Someone posted Br'er Rabbit already. That was the one I'm most familiar with too.
Did that game get any advertising at all? I remember that it came out with no fanfare and ea were ready for the tax write off.
Wow, you got the chuddies riled up with this one
Ford motor company? Radio? Apple pie?
one of rhe worst opinions I've ever come across on this site. literally kill yourself
And what's the Middle East?
I saw it at a handful of game showcases, journalists of course wrote some courtesy articles about it, and there was a demo release but the advertising was as minimal as it could be. The game just wasn't marketable.
To this day it astounds me how many black people think Wakanda is a real place
mix of mudslimes
Name of the movie?
People think a lot of different religions or fantasy worlds have any sort of merit. It shouldn't be that surprising.
Retarded take. You could easily make a game about Anande for example.
There's a lot of cool stuff in the culture of an illiterate hunter-gatherer people who never had a written language. Like Rap, and pimping hoes, etc. I went to college.
No, black people don't like niggas. There's a difference. youtube.com
It's just because no ones done anything high profile yet. Like no one gave a shit about norse myth until it hit pop culture either and now it's everywhere despite basically just being a few pages of childrens stories, as non abrahamic myth tends to be.
For me, it's West African cyberpunk.
Long Live Ultra-Ghana
dumbshit burger asks a stupid question in bad faith, obviously not going to seriously entertain the idea that there's anything cool about African folklore
some other mutt pretends it's a "gotcha!" and decides to make an off-topic engagement bait thread off it
So much for Anon Babble being a containment board. Clean it up, janny.
REFUGEE
You start as a nig in central africa, goal is to reach Europe
one day rabbi Shlomo comes to your little mudhut village. He shows you the life you could have in Europe on a smartphone. Tells you the tricks about getting to Europe (best routes to take, what to say when they ask about your identity,...)
objective 1: get water and prepare for a trek through the desert
objective 2: find your way through the desert
CHOICE: choose the arab country you want to cross the sea from
objective 3: find a way to enter a boat (you better have paid attention to rabbi Shlomo!). Waiting will cause you to die from hunger or thirst [GAME OVER]
[hidden objective - HARD]: rape a local woman without the family seeing you. You get beheaded if they find out [GAME OVER]
objective 4: survive the boat trip. The boat is sinking but there are too few life vests! Fight off another refugee. [GAME OVER]
objective 5: get on the Soros funded NGO boat passing by. You can fight and steal food for an increase in stats
[hidden objective - EASY]: fuck the overweight NGO lady. This is easy. She is willing but you have to catch her alone.
objective 6: survive interrogation without getting deported (remember Shlomos teachings!) or [GAME OVER]
objective 7: run from the poorfag med country you arrived in and head north
objective 8: uh oh. It's winter! Steal some clothes or freeze to death [GAME OVER]
objective 9: you arrive in your country of choice but the line at the refugee center is long. Sneak in front and win the fight if you get caught.
postgame: congratz! You made it! Free food and shelter. You can now fuck refugee workers or go out and stab a local chudcel or rape a local woman. Don't worry though. Rabbi Goldberg is there to get you out of jail!
[hidden ending]: your rape victim is pregnant and wants child support. The cops are here to take your gibs! You have no option but to fight. You swing at the cop but his buddy shoots you [GAME OVER]
R8 my game about african culture
Weren't most African empires Islamic anyway?
its glass.
Dominions games have few Africa inspired fantasy factions among their billion factions. But other than that, I can't really think of any.

Hiding my bio-Jollof from Igbo-Robocops pulling me over on the Lagos-Accra jumpway. Sweat drips off my chrome brow as his Quantum scanners retrocausally detect the plantain-cybersignature. I'm toast. The killswitch in my hypothalmus triggers the nuke under my seat. Ghana forever
I like black people in principle. They are undeniably gifted when it comes to music, just like the Irish are undeniably gifted when it comes to writing, for example. The main problem with them is their general lack of parental guidance and father figures, which leads to them being impulsive, naive and lacking in accountability. The black people with strong families and loving parents are usually good people.
they deserve it 2bdesu
Age of empires is a perfect example of just how uninteresting african history is compared to european.
They tried, they really tried to make it seem like something worth building campaigns around, but in the end, none of the african stuff comes anywhere close to being as interesting as relatively obscure european stuff like the burgundians or lithuanians.
I like how people complete ignore how zombies are originally african
Most African shit I know is about Rabbits/Hares trolling the other animals.
spbp
answer the question
Well, maybe survival game about how first humans leave africa toward arabian through red sea.
football
played with hands, of all things
white people think the divine comedy is part of the biblical canon
Voodoo zombies are completely different from current horror zombies.
this is true but i will ignore it because zombies are not cool
zombie (slavery allegory) literally part of pre-european african mythology
slavery still somehow invented by white people
It is also a rock anon.
That's just Grounded.
>slavery still somehow invented by white people
Whoever thinks this is simply not worth arguing with, you'd be wasting your breath.
You are asking too much of people with 80 IQ.
They can't conceptualize the concept of past or history.
would baron samedi be considered african or american myth? it technically is haitian, but pretty much made by africans slaves
Latest Old World expansion added the based Africans.
youtu.be
There's a reason why african folklore and culture is rarely used.
Yes, because it doesn't sell to normalfags unless you make it about animals in a savannah or some wartorn shithole. Cameroon made a game about their own culture and no one cared.
little boy defeats the hot evil witch, then turns himself into an adult man so that he can instantly marry her
Dangerously based.
American education
The reason is because nobody knows about African folklore and culture except Africans and anthropologists, and while the former are too too poor to make good games, the latter are too deep into academia to know how to make games at all
nobody knew about elves and shit until tolkien made a story with them and normalized the myth. Just need someone to make a decent story about it
WE WUZ IRON AGE n SHIET
Had an African guy in my unit when I was in the Army. As in, he was from Uganda. One day when we were on CQ duty I asked him what kind of monsters they had in his culture, like we have werewolves, vampires, zombies, that kind of thing.
He proceeded to tell me that their main monster was witches and various nature demons that just existed for no reason. The kind of things where, for example, there was a nearby lake that nobody was willing to be at anywhere near sundown because they think the water of the lake will literally lash out, grab them, and drag them underwater to their doom. Parents get really irrational and pissed off when kids don't respect the power of the lake demon.
On one hand, it sounds kind of retarded. On the other hand, people make up retarded cryptids like that in the US all the time, it's not particularly unique.
Nope it's their actual mythology.
It's not, dipshit. I get that it'd be funnier if it was, but that's not a good reason to be going around spreading lies. Yakub comes from the Nation of Islam, an A M E R I C A N cult of retarded black panthers from the 60s and 70s, I believe. I would be shocked if more than 200 people on the planet actually believe this shit, and almost none of those people actually live in Africa.
