Do you like when your country is portrayed in videogames?
Gabriel Peterson
William Ross
Yes
Grayson Nelson
Probably some dumb article but Guacamelee has a really fun setting. I'm glad it was able to come out without people whining and screeching about it, but I'm sure that still exists somewhere.
Michael Collins
>Explosions, rock music, and guns
Hell yeah
Julian Martin
I've yet to see Ecuador be portrayed in a video game, but cultural representation is always good in my book.
Also the game in OP's image is free on Humble, it's bretty gud for a short Metroid style game.
Joseph Morris
>my country
>getting portrayed in video games
Tyler Lewis
It's better when the games good.
Christopher Kelly
this
Elijah Murphy
Yeah, even caricatures. Stereotypes in media are fun and funny most of the time.
Grayson Stewart
I'm Irish and I fuckin love the drunken ginger brawler meme
Carson White
Can't say since the only eastern europe country portrayed in games is russia.
Christopher Lopez

Brody Ross
Is there any game that takes place in Ireland?
Mason Bell
Alexander Sanchez
As a mexican i really dont give a fuck.
Andrew Young
I would unironically play an american spurdo game where you just roll around on your rascal scooter and shoot rockets from your EZ-chair
Dominic Nelson
Joseph Barnes
>SEA shithole that's only notable for how many people were killed by communists
I'm fine with it not being represented
Hunter Howard
As far as I know Ireland has been in Folklore on the PS3 and I believe some flashbacks in Nioh and that's it.
We've got some characters from here in GTA, AssCreed, and The Saboteur too though I guess.
Christopher Mitchell
it's alright
Sebastian Rodriguez
Here's one half...
Jack Hall
... and here's the other.
Ethan Russell
Cambodia? The Khmer are in Civ 6
Owen Sanders
Has Lithuania been portrayed in a game before?
Mason Morgan
Absolute kino
Thomas Bell
brings a tear to the eye
Aiden Richardson
More like gun firing cowboys with redneck accents riding on top of nukes and trying to make a show out of everything while saying "God bless America" at every turn. That and hamburgers, pizza and the kind of patriotism you would only see in either a communist dictatorship or a fascist country from the 40s.
Jonathan Gutierrez
A stereotype is a stereotype, saying one is good and the other bad is hypocritical.
Jason Barnes
so are you chinese or japanese

Wasn't My Summer Car set in Lithuania?

In so sick of these fags who think they have right to talk for us. We lost Speedy Gonzales thanks to them
William Sanchez
Cameron Robinson
I don't know if Sweden has ever been ortrayed in a videogame. Marie from DoA and Lars from Tekken don't count, they could be from any other country, and it wouldn't make a difference in the slightest.
Connor Martin
Europa Universalis IV, terrifying if you play as Russia.
Liam Walker
I don't think people care as long as they can make the distinction no matter how irrelevant that distinction may be. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Oliver James
I'm spanish, if we hadn't conquered america you fuckers would be talking dutch right now.
Oliver Morgan
Lithuania?
Isaac Thomas
Well I live in Rockmurica so generally the country is portrayed as the badass land of freedom it certainly isn't or it's a complete parody of itself. So I would have to say no. I generally expect games to portray my country as a disproportanite number of them are set here.
Jason Edwards
Damn fucking straight you absolute turkey
Reminder that patriotism is a choice and that we also have the choice to say bad things, but you wouldn't know about free speech would you.

Owen Rogers
>Spanish conquered America
I'm all for twisting history to sell a message but goddamn this is a stretch and a half
Easton Richardson
I don't like the fact that all mexican culture is seen as "dia de los muertos" shit. Only because the representation you usually see about that is specific to a particular region of mexico and is not really "mexican" culture as in the whole nation.
It would be like saying a game has a nice portrayal of "american" culture when it's all mardi gras stuff and new orleans-style brass bands marching through the streets when you know that kind of shit isn't happening in the midwest yet they pass it off as "american" representation.
It's just the inaccuracy of calling it "mexican" that bothers me, I don't care if white people wanna larp dia de los muertos crap
Dominic Morgan
In most of the world "america" refers to the continent, not the country and yes Spain conquered most of America
Xavier Sullivan
yes especially when japan does it
Brayden Rogers
i really couldn't give less of a fuck, and israel doesn't get portrayed in any game that i know of anyway
i pick the british one because it looks better
Cameron Watson
>Germany
Frankly, I can't think of a single video game set at any point in Germany AT ALL.
If you want, you could count Kingdom Come, but the czechs will probably protest that...
Gabriel Martin
then you proceded to become even more third world than half of america (the continent) LOL
Xavier Sanders
Yeah, seems okay, Jane Kelly in Xcom2 was Irish which I liked
Robert Foster
I'm pretty much convinced that Spike shitpost was a fake.
Luke Jones

Jaxson James

Eli Sanchez
But then during the 80s we got out of the shit and we are better than France and Italy right now (which isn't saying much).
Adam Barnes
>When you're such a disgusting, cosmopolitan piece of shit that despises any and all happiness and culture in the world that you call a game that celebrates Mexican history and culture "stereotyping"
When are we going to kill the urbanite scum?
Anthony Cox
Well duh like every ww2 game ever.
Yfw we're always portrayed as the bad guys.
Gavin Bell
Max Payne 3 was alright, although I liked the New Jersey levels over the uma delicia levels for the most part.
James Harris
Tell me.
Were the devs of Guacamelee a bunch of Mexicans or a group of white people?
Camden Edwards
what game?
Logan Ward
Are there any games set in the Philippines? I can't think of anything representing it besides that one girl in Tekken who cries a lot.
Wyatt Baker
Gobless :DDD
Asher Martinez
this is the only Irish game I know. at least its good
Charles Price
wasn't there a thing where the blue checkmarks got enraged because they thought Coco was offensive, and then the movie immediately became the best selling animated movie ever in Mexico?
Noah Green
>frankly I can't think of any games that are set in Germany
How about every goddamn world war 2 game in existence and also wolfenstien? It's literally always nazis but the representation is technically there.

There was a guy on /vg/ who made a bunch of Xcom2 soldiers with names like Carbombs O'Malley etc. and had a whole RP set up where you're basically the IRA and all the aliens are just Unionists in disguise.
John Brown

Same thing happened with Speedy Gonzales
Matthew Young
Only game i can think of is Far Cry 2 and we're depicted as mercs for hire, its accurate and based in truth but my vok man.

Jacob Martin
I dunno, what are some games where my country is represented?
Oliver Johnson
war thunder is such a shit game, controls are ok but with all the premiums they have it's pretty much p2w
Brody Collins

It mostly depends what battle rating you play at but shockingly enough it's not that bad for a F2P game.
It's the other shit they pull that gets you

Also: start off in an easy area like ireland.

The Spanish Conquests happened due to a series of cascading events that enabled each other, much of them being flukes: Cortes happening to find shipwrecked spaniards who could act as translators, the Republic of Tlaxcala sparing him and his men after BTFO-ing them out to use against the Aztec, one of the men in a force that arrived to arrest Cortes for treason happening to be carrying smallpox; Cortes's eventually success in toppling the Aztec netting Spain a huge monetary influx and logistical foothold to where Spain, which previously didn't even care about pursuing widespread colonization of the Mainland, to go ahead and do so, and provide them the logistical foothold to be able to, also thereby having a constant spanish occupation to further spread pathogens; and then having Conquistadors move further south into Central and South America; with Spain's successes only then getting other european powers jelly and making them bother pursuing colonization themselves
Also the spanish themselves were arguably the least critical and impactful factors to it's success beyond just showing up, as they were immensely dependent on the actual armies, troops of existing city-states or empires in mexico (who were only participating to further their own geopolitical interests) who even decades into the conquests, even as 2/3s of the population was dead, were still doing most of the work; with the intial smallpox infection and then further outbreaks also causing political chaos and increasingly decimating the native population, with that and how Mesoamerican politics worked just allowing Spain to be the ones benefiting in the end even though they themselves were far outnumbered by and could have easily been deposed by native armies otherwise
Had shit gone even a bit differently Spain would have never been able to directly conquer Mexico, and the entire colonization of the Americas would have been thrown off. I can clarify if needed

This thread is gotten pretty big.
Also Canada is about as notable as a single American state. We got some cool shit and have done some cool stuff in ww2 but nobody cares. Like Vimy ridge and Dieppe.
And in WW1 we had Ypres, also another battle in Vimy ridge that we won.
Ryder Jenkins
Shilling Aztez, which is a legitmately fantastic CURAYZEE action game set in the heart of the Aztec Empire. It's 2d rather then 3d but it's explictly inspired by DMC and Bayonetta in terms of it's combat systems, the devs have a blog where they breakdown the combat systems of other action games.
There's also light strategy elements in the overworld, with battles being specifc "turns"/objectives on it, the goal being to unite enough cities/manage your empire enough in the valley where the core Aztec cities were to fight off Conquistadors when they show up.
It's also unique in that it's the only game I know of I know of that actually makes an attempt to do the setting and aesthetic right: It's not super realistic, 100% on point Aztec art motifs, but it's clearly inspired by actual aztec art, history, and cuilture rather then just DUDE PYRAMIDS HUMAN SACRIFICE LMAO and mixing every mesoamerican culture's art into a blender. You have outfits based on specific attire from codices, the priest enemy classes, each battle location is based on an actual city in the valley of mexico and contains any notable landmarks they had historically IRL, etc.

Can't really complain too much about the representation.

As much as it's fun to shit on Assassin's Creed, Assassin's creed II and Brotherhood really made me feel warm and fuzzy when I was hopping around Florence, Rome, Venice and such, maybe it's because I've actually been there and I love those places but I don't know.
I think we pastas are kind of underepresented (if you don't count Mario), I wish we showed up more.
Also, how the fuck did you anglos managed to bear the script in ACII? Going from heavily accented english to heavily accented Italian made me so annoyed I had to change the voice acting to full italian.

>Can't complete crater Egypt's airforce in under 48 hours to force a peace
I fucking hate Paradox. Operation Thunderbolt would make a great scenario in a shooting game though.
I fucking hate Paradox.

>giving the government the power to regulate internet access and content
Let me tell you how I know you're European
Jack Robinson
No because Britain is never portrayed accurately and it's always some fantasy London derived mess. The closest we ever got was Vampyr since that was about a bunch of diseased monsters running around ruining a country and the only guy with a logical plan was going to wall the areas in and let them starve.
Gabriel Hughes
/gsg/ refers to Lithuania as Poland's purple rape gorilla.
Hunter Jones
>he fell for the government regulation meme
Eurofags are so predicable. You're used to having rulers who are duty bound via their religious beliefs to rule rightly and are of your won people. You're so completely unprepared for being ruled by Jews and their goyish pets.
Samuel Allen
Outside of occasionally being a playable faction in a total war or RTS, i dont remember ever seeing my country depicted.
Chase Perez
That's kind of a hard thing to say. If a man immigrated from China in 1890 to the USA and opened a restaurant making food as close to home as he possibly could, is it not Chinese food?
As for your Mexican comment, it's dumb because central Mexican tribes didn't live in the area of the Mexican cessation, "Mexican" generally refers to Mestizos which didn't exist before European settlement, and finally there was a total of like 80,000 people living on the land the USA took from Mexico. Polk wanted to annex all the land where whites had a majority in Mexico or would be loyal due to protection from natives ie the north and the Yucatan but congress shut him down because they were concerned about the difficulty of assimilation efforts. Mexico had tried to sell all of that land to Prussia not long before, too.

that really makes the argument of "needing immigrants so we can have diverse food" becomes moot

Nice try corporate cock suckers, I'm canadian. Euros don't have internet freedom either. You're literally eurocuck levels of being controlled, how does that feel?

did bust a little nut when my town Maidstone got a shoutout in Princess Principal tho
Nathan Howard
Have a portuguese character from a game with a fantasy setting with fake countries that for some non-explained reason also includes Portugal
You can't actually visit it but pic related is one of the better girls so it's something at least
Camden Russell
>he says that like it's a bad thing
Brayden Johnson
Based
Kevin Foster
Post the other one.
Gabriel Young
>Game has 2 English options: one American flag and one British flag
Throughout all the games I’ve seen this in, I’ve never actually seen what the differences are. Do they change all mentions of “flashlight” to “torch” or something?
Nicholas Butler
It also has JAPAN.
Josiah Jones
I know, but it's a japanese game so it isn't that strange
On the other hand of all the other countries to pick to be real going with Portugal is a really strange choice
Aaron Reed
Color vs colour
Xavier Jones
It pretty never much happens, but when it does I think it's funny, especially how people interpret our language
Jason Wright
I'm not sure what you mean, the palette swap?
Thomas Gutierrez
Brazil
No, mostly because im ashamed of it. Though when they go 100% positive im fine with it.
Jace Garcia
No, the other other one.
Juan Thompson
fuck yeah I do, Raquna is cute as fuck
otherwise I don't really care, this is the only one in a game I played
Levi Foster
I can't complain I suppose.

Yes, when it's not set in New York or Los Angeles.
Jack Davis

Jace Williams
so who keeps making these same threads?
Connor Nguyen
If you're not relevant enough it doesn't matter if we portray you "right" oh no we go the name of the snake and roaches you eat wrong lmao who cares
Joshua Hill
I dunno, were South Africans actually portrayed in anything other than the original Metal Gear games?
Sebastian Gray
I do. But I never look down on games for not doing it. It's more like "Hey look, that's neat!" when I see it, but otherwise I never think about it.
Jaxson Collins
No. Every fucking time with the fucking flamenco, paella y toros, me cago en dios.
Kayden Brown
No, they always call it "North Osea". cucks
Leo Johnson
ultra woke. What's another word for "urban"? blacks and mexicans (and now mudslimes)
Carson Kelly
>France
Mostly Paris, few games got it right. Remember Be had interestingly captured Paris' visual identity, but somehow fucked up the use of many architectural elements and decorations which made it look kinda retarded. Hitman was rather bland, but not too bad. AC Unity was alright.
Everything else, from Deus Ex to Battlefield, was fucking atrocious.
Aiden Fisher
Outer Heaven was 200km north of a fictional South African city, which means it might not have even been in South Africa
Either way, I don't recall any characters of explicit South African nationality
Brayden Flores
>the mutts have actually taken the most obvious of baits
Adam Scott
You're right, user. I just want you to know that.
Lucas Collins
It's barely represented except in war games and people usually aren't sure if she's from there.
Leo Jackson
It also has TEXAS
Ryder Brown
Fighting games are usually biased towards Asia and the Americas for obvious reasons. Not that I'm complaining, I'd just love more variety, like a Danish fighter. Or a Ukrainian one. Something less represented overall, I can't think of a single Finnish fighter besides that one blue-haired chick from DoA6.
Asher Lewis
Did your country get a cool Gundam?
Chase Jenkins
name me one game set in moldova and i'll play it
Landon Powell
Ooh, a specific England flag. Haven't seen many of those in foreign media.
Jace Edwards
Isn't their entire narrative is that stereotype=bad?
Oliver Cruz
I want to fuck nobel gundam!!!!
Levi Robinson
Which gundam will Nobel share a bunker with?
Josiah King
These kind of threads where a bunch of folk from around the world discuss vidya rep always make me happy.
I hope you smaller countries that don't get much rep someday get your own over the top stereotype representation character in a cool game

There's so much cool stuff about your small cold country, I love you.

It's a shame that our current media outlets kind of go against the melting pot message.

One of my favorite things living here is being able to go to a 7/11 and see a bunch of different people with different backgrounds and heritage all getting along. Fucking media then trys and ruins this

Hamburgers aren't American. They were invented in New Haven, Connecticut by a family with Danish roots.
Angel Bailey
I couldn't care less.
Jayden Long
You make it seem like it's only one side being cunts like that.
There's as many "cultural appropriation, shitlord!" people as there are "Stop speaking your language, speak english in the land of the free dirty [insert nationality]"
Adrian Myers

Brayden Evans
>New Haven, Connecticut
Care to point to me where Connecticut's geographical location is?
Carson Fisher
I disagree.
Infact, it's a load of pish how we're portrayed usually.
Aaron Cruz
>burgerland
Depends on the game but usually it's okay.
