Gaming in Latin America

Is there any other place in the world except for Africa to be a gamer?

>South America doesn't have e-shop and Nintendo
you were supposed to list only negative aspects

It really fucking hurts but i live with it.

Best i got here are LoL players but i never see them play the game, i just see them wearing the same made up hat of one of the green minions of the game.

It has a website where you can buy codes for digital games, but there are very few and most of them are games made by nintendo, the only games not from nintendo are Mortal Kombat XI, Fifa, and 5 or so indie games.

>No real esports or competitive scene here
muh fortnite, dota and lol esport

Brazilians are very good in counter strike, but latin americans don't have any top player in mobas.

>many companies don't care about the region

A good amount of would like to be in the region, specially in Brazil, but the bureaucracy and taxes make the invesment not worth it.

Nintendo abandoned Brazil lol

>If you're over 20 and you keep gaming, you're seen as a manchild

>who cares

When you lose oportunities in life because of that you should care, specially if you live in a small city where people really in the judment of others to survive.

Yes, and my post explain why.

Blame your retarded protectionist socialist governments and vote for globalisation parties.

>>Videogames are expensive as fuck here
steam sales are good enough plus we can just pirate
>>People only play FIFA and Fortnite shit
not true
>>If you're over 20 and you keep gaming, you're seen as a manchild
not true
>>South America doesn't have e-shop and Nintendo and many companies don't care about the region
true but who cares, just make a canadian account or something if you really needs it
>>No real esports or competitive scene here
not that i care but we have a pretty good esports scene here
>>People here don't develop games at all
maybe not good ones but we have been getting our share of shitty indies

>Videogames are expensive as fuck here
Not if you buy digital
>People only play FIFA and Fortnite shit
Same in the rest of the world
>If you're over 20 and you keep gaming, you're seen as a manchild
No, you are seen as a manchild because you are one
>South America doesn't have e-shop and Nintendo and many companies don't care about the region
Nintendo shit can fuck off, steam has regional pricing and that's the only plataform that matters
>No real esports or competitive scene here
E sport faggotry must die
>People here don't develop games at all
True here in Costa Rica but Mexico has some nice games and we probably will get some eventually

Who cares, Brazilians are all monkeys anyway.

>Well now the wii u it's going to get cheaper right?
>$3000 pesos used

WTF!? i thought the wii u flopped.

We've got one of the chepest steam reginal prices and we can pirate anything and no one care. Also: there's about 10 good BR games, just google it.

Xbox and steam got you cover user
Also México doesnt have that problems aside for being expensive and being told you are a manchild

There's a lot of young vidya bros here. Don't worry about money for vidya. When you hit your late 20's working, earning a wage (if you were into your pro career) the vidya is not a obligation or you could get digital games with your friend and share that account like ps4 method

Wii U didn't sell well so it's gonna be a collector's item.

Chile here.
PlayStation is for white european descent race and Nintendo is for fat brown autists also kind of gay

Actual european here. Nintendo is just too expensive for you, spic.

Why would you get a Wii U.
The only 3 games worth playing can be emulated on CEMU

Not here. But who cares, still for gay and indian people
Disgusting and smelly

>Not if you buy digital
That's only true for Steam tho.

we have tons of venezuelan whores here now because of their communist crisis
biggest asses in the world I swear

Why won't ActiBlizz jews put a fucking WoW server on SA, I don't want to play classic with 200ms

I feel for my latin american brothers but ya'll niggas need to stop playing online. We shouldn't have to suffer from your high ass ping.

The US has it worst. We have to accept that playing online we'll be mocked by irrelevant countries about Trump when we didn't even bother voting. If we look up a guide on Steam it's written in Russian and we don't speak anything but freedom.

Cheer up though my brown brother that better not try to come here. At least we protect you under the Monroe doctrine. Unless you're a commie. Or don't sell us cheap oil. Or otherwise piss us off. Good thing we aren't fickle.

Mulaka is a great Mexican game with Zelda/Okami vibes

Don't forget about if they try to leave the banana or coffee plantation!

Liking nintendo is for brown people

These ones hurt the most. Everytime i try to find brazilians to play with they turn out to be normie as fuck and don't even play games much. Finding people for competitive play is a lost cause.

I'm so glad I'm living in the US nowadays. I had absolutely no future in Peru, but now I have a degree, a nice job, a nice car, and I can buy cheap vidya.

We only pay $60 more USD here in Mexico for a Switch, that's hardly expensive as fuck.

It was $9,999.99 MXN (nueve mil novescientos noventa y nueve pesos de los estados unidos mexicanos con noventa y nueve centavos) when it launched.

Chile here already on that. Still doesn't help against the price gouging importers.

>be latino

Who cares about game prices, you can live as a King here in the kikongo, theres no FBI to track the downloads.

epic

Uruguay user here, got a switch and also waiting for the new pokemon to play competitive.

Jesus Christ. Just got a used one for my cousin who lives in Peru. 300 bucks CIB + Smash and Zelda.
If he were to buy one there he would be spending about 450-500 + 70 for each game. Fucking bullshit.

You have /int/ to talk about your shitty countries
You have /pol/ to talk about the politics of your shitty countries

I don't understand why you filthy cretins insist on having a Latin America general thread on Yea Forums, the fucking videogames thread

Go back to your shit smash roster and WoW whe are going home threads, at least this one dies quick.

Now that I think about it Pikmin 3 could be interpreted as 3 Venezuelans escaping their home. The booming population of Koppai and the lack of food reminds me of Venzuela for some reason.

Play Patobox

Seriously, I do not have any hope for the future of this shit anymore.

Since when is patreon taxable? Isn't it technically donations?

Latin American games have soul

>Videogames are expensive as fuck here
Video game princes in Mexico prices are fine.
>People only play FIFA and Fortnite shit
I live in Baja California and here is Smash Brothers and Yu-Gi-Oh! (trading card game).
>If you're over 20 and you keep gaming, you're seen as a manchild
Not really, and if it was the case Mexico is the meca for "me vale verga".
>South America doesn't have e-shop and Nintendo and many companies don't care about the region
Dunno, I think at least Chile has an eShop and official distribution.
>No real esports or competitive scene here
I can find a small Smash/YGO tournament every weekend, but outside of those games things turn very dry.
>People here don't develop games at all
I think we develop more games than most countries, but nothing close to the big ones.

Also women here are pure bliss.

Depends on the country. In mine it is considered a service offered in a country from abroad and this is taxable. And donations also need to pay fees, otherwise the whole market would become a mere "donation" of money in exchange for "donation" of products.

I fucked good that first sentence, lol.

>If you're over 20 and you keep gaming, you're seen as a manchild
But they're right.

Nagatoro irl,

Those are actual videogame threads. This one is just an /int/ general pretending to be videogames.
Get fucked

Paypal ends up sucking up 9-10% of your money.

Say you receive a $100 payment. You get like $6 stolen from paypal's tax, and then when converting from USD to MXN (my currency) the rates are slightly lower and you end up losing another $4 from the conversion, so you only end up receiving $90

No, you get fucked, and your wife gets fucked by jamal.
