Why are there no games featuring Canadian protagonists or set in Canada?
because Canada sucks and is awful setting for vidya
It's a peaceful land, its inhabitants kind.

>>333400537
Because Gamers dont want a Chinese male protagonist.
Because Canada is a perfect utopia without strife or problems, unlike you poor third-worlders.
>>333400537
You got Soma. It's set in canada and it's protag is canadianing
wasn't Sleeping Dogs set in Vancouver?
Those Wolverine character action games
Any games starring Wolverine or Deadpool count as Canadian protagonists.
>>333400537
South Park
There was a track that featured Quebec city in a racing game on 360...Project Gotham Racing or something
There was that Wolverine game.
>>333400537
Because Americans play more video games per capita and probably wouldn't give a fuck.
That said Mass Effect was on earth it took place in Vancouver.

>>333400732
Probably because canadian cities aren't as easily recognisable as some of the big american ones like NY or chicago
Just like you don't see many chinese cities featured aside from hong kong or shanghai

>>333402132
Montreal is ok but everything else is pretty boring anyways. No landmarks, no interesting history, just offices, condos, and malls. It wouldn't make for a good vidya setting.
>>333402172
Because most people end up assimilating since eveyone's so nice :)
>>333401845
No it was set in Scotland's very own Aberdeen!
>>333402172
Canada only takes in skilled immigrants, when my parents came over in the 90s they only got in because they both had graduate degrees in relevant fields. Murrica and the EU take any dumb shitskin that shows up at their gates with a hand sticking out.
Oh wait, I forgot, this is 4chan, lemme explain it a different way
>dude it's because Canadians are cucks lmao
>>333402170
Scottish in Canada atm. Can confirm.
Also honestly; you guys don't really have much interesting history.
And your modern culture is basically an offshoot of amerifats except less FREDUM.
also toronto is a nice city in the centre but the rest sucks dick.
Also why is niagara falls canut las vegas.
>>333401591
Yeah
>>333402172
Dunno. In my area, all the blacks are stupidly nice and good people to be around. Even in low income areas they are nice and welcoming. The Asians are stuck up cunts and the first nations are kind of 50/50. I'd hate to have stereotypical blacks around here like they are in the States.

>It's a Canadian level
>Chinese/Filipino/Middle Eastern music starts playing
>>333402172
Because it's a large landmass, and by evenly distributing immigrants across the country you can keep their population density down. If you herd them all together, then they won't assimilate as quickly because they can support each other.
In Canada you have to get along with people, otherwise nobody will have your back when the wendigos travel south for the winter.
>It's a Canadian Level
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxJvrD80nJ4 starts playing
>>333402558
It usually ends up like that because if someone from an different race enters a single race friendgroup, the group are mostly paranoid they are going to say the wrong thing to them. I try to avoid that with the people I meet and just try to ignore the fact.
>Mudslims come to "Cabane à sucre"
>they complain about the traditional food served
why even bother visiting then?
>>333402558
That's the farthest thing from the truth. It's more true with recent immigrants because obviously they would start off being with people they're familiar with, but you generally see all kinds of people together. But maybe that's just Toronto.
>>333402172
Canada has a lot of Asians and Indians, America has black people and Mexicans, and Europe is Afghanistan now.
Asian people can't drive and Indians smell like shit, but at least they're not dindus and terrorists.
>>333401585
Doesnt really count since you dont explore the city you just land in a building and then fly off after the boss fight
>>333402640
And thats why its fucking shit and shouldn't be practiced.
Only integration and breaking down immigrants harmful and isolationist ties works.
Anything else; you may as well execute them or ship them back, because they will never be part of your culture.
>>333402696
I don't know about that. I live in the Toronto suburbs and there are big patches of Korean/Chinese/Russian-Ukrainian immigrants who mostly cluster around each other for the sake of being able to speak their first language. I wouldn't call them assimilated, but they're certainly not hostile to the social fabric or anything.

>>333403204
Chinatowns are not a concept unique to Canada.
Not really a marketable setting. Sure us Canucks would get a boner for the game but nobody else would really care. US cities are far more marketable worldwide if you want a North American flavor.
Not a lot happens here in Canada worth making a game about, we're not politically torn, we're not constantly in a big war, we're not in fear of terrorism, we support liberal ideologies because freedom and equality is very abundant here, there's just nothing to make in Canada. Can't do a GTA clone because there's only like 12 major cities and the rest are small towns of like <5000 people

It's pretty simple, if you give them jobs they'll be happy and try to mix in better. It helps that we really only let in people who can work.
>>333403004
1st generation immigrants will never integrate
2nd gen immigrants have the ability to integrate but stick to their own ethnic groups due to their upbringing
3rd gen immigrants are well integrated
>>333403215
It's because in Europe there are tons of dirt-poor immigrants who can't get jobs and wind up feeling excluded from society. That's how you get social tensions.

>>333402290
There are a lot of social, economic and cultural reasons, but I suspects the conditions factor in. They make it very difficult to get uppity and survive on your own very long. It's just not worth the risk.
There are riots, there are shady areas, there are troublemakers all around but no one's trying to see how quickly they can get put out on the street when there are times it can go -36 to -40 degrees for a week.
Doesn't matter how street smart you are elsewhere, without decent heating your ass is grass. From cavemen to wild animals, most creatures would rather cooperate, behave or at least stay quiet inside and hibernate than die trying to start shit they get nothing from. In conclusion my theory is extreme cold is the solution to all of society's problems.
Forget about a wall. Ship any uppity asshole to the coldest place and watch them learn patience and understanding like you wouldn't believe.

>>333404181
You mean Richmond Hill? Yes, it's basically a Chinatown, I live here. It's a perfectly prosperous, peaceful municipality where you can get good goddamn Chinese food. But I guess you can't read some of the signs so it's a shithole.
>>333404426
Aren't all American games just about great burger heists?
>>333402935
This is actually true. The biggest problem we have with foreigners is shitty asian drivers and indian people taking over cities like brampton and voting for poor urban policies
I guess in Vancouver rich chinese people are driving up housing prices
Quebec doesnt like muslims though and tried to ban hijabs for public servants
Black people in Canada are totally fine, there arent violent ghettos even in our biggest cities. There's sometimes gang violence but its pretty contained

Where the fuck is this idiotic defensiveness coming from?
So Canadians, which kinds of /v/ threads do you frequent?
>>333403486
this exactly. Really depends how rich the immigrants are. If they come from wealth they tend to integrate a lot faster though.
At university second gen immigrants tended to integrate fine since they could afford canadian experiences and didnt live in ethnic enclaves
Poorer immigrants were the ones that struggled with integration
The only type of game I can think of that would make sense to be set in Canada would be like a wildlife/wilderness exploration type game.
Or maybe a fucking brutal man vs moose game

Wrong.
Muslims in particular are largely isolationists.
Their third generation here is not integrated at all cause they form ghettos.
Remember canada gets to pick the cream of the crop from immigrants cos you have an ocean between you and them that can't be crossed by a nigger in a canoe.

I have been to Banff twice, both times the place was chock full of asians armed to the teeth with cameras. Both times me and the people I was there with were stopped a lot because asians wanted their pictures taken with us, something about having their photos taken with natives I guess. Both times I checked out this one native crafts store and could tell that everything was made in asia, pretty easy to spot the differences actually.

Oh here he goes again. Look at you Canada, posting on /v/ thinking you just said some smart shit.
Out of all countries that post here Canadians are the ones that piss me off the most. Their entire fucking culture makes no sense. What exactly is it that you do? Wear flannel shirts and slurp syrup?
If I think of America I think of guns, pop culture and freedom. Sure, lots of ignorant baboons but at least they wear their retardation like a badge of honor, use it as a cultural identity, their flag promotes the unity of the country with all these stripes and stars.
Germany is orderly, a country that prides itself on its rules and their citizens who follow them. It's also the country with the biggest responsibility when it comes to destroying Europe with its two world wars and government sanctioned refugee crisis. Their flag waves strong colors, black, red and gold. A dominant flag for a dominant country.
Russia is strong and stubborn to a fault. They live hard lives and don't complain about it. Obviously the entire country is pretty much a shithole but it breeds strong people who can take care of themselves. Their flag represents the cold, the white, the blue but also the burning passion in the red, it all comes together to signify that their country is bleak but there is strength in that.
But Canada, what are they fucking known for? Being "nice", i guess? Is that your role in the world? Being fucking nice? That's not an achievement. Everyone can be nice. It's easy to be nice. You just don't have to say anything bad.
So what did your fucking country decide to put on their flag to show the entire world what Canada is all about? A leaf. A FUCKING LEAF. You decided that you like to slurp your shitty syrup so damn much that you might as well put the fucking leaf that it's made of on the flag. You don't even respect your own country so why the hell should I?
