Video games involving Southeast Asian aesthetics or themes

>Japan doesn't count
>>
Japan is East Asian, not Southeast

And I can't think of anything except Far Cry 3
That game had plenty of ruined temples and brown people living in poverty, pretty much southeast Asia in a nutshell
>>
>>337624747
you could've said Far Cry 4, which is literally set in Tibet
>>
Indivisible

>>337624813
he probably meant that
i really can't think of any besides that except for some big strategy games that feature everything else anyways

Surely Uncharted has some levels in that area.

You gotta be able to appreciate it as an interactive anime rather then a game though

If you want a video game that has good gameplay, it's not for you, just go and watch it on youtube then.

But it has a really strong story, great characters, great visual design, decent worldbuilding, and some of the best and most well animated fight choreography you will ever see inside those QTE's.

It also has an absolutely insane sense of scale and incredulous over-the-topness to it that's really only matched by like TTGL. The game starts off with you jumping off of a space ship in a massive fleet battle, and has you pluttming to earth blowing shit up with your bare hands and punching a monster the size of a continent. The first boss is the size of a planet. The final boss throws stars at you and fights you inside a black hole.

So if that sounds appealing to you or you like dumb over the top action anime that doesn't take itself seriously, you should really at least watch it on youtube or buy it used for like 5$, though the main DLC is pretty much essential.

It's not much of a game, but for what it is trying to be (a sort of interactive anime, it even has mid mission bumpers and next episode on previews), it's a 10/10.

oh and the OST is also great. I also cried at the ending.

Far Cry 4, as bland as it is.

I liked the elephants very much. Töröö
>>
>>337628851
Let me rephrase what I said.
It looks stunning, and the actions scenes are always sick to watch.
However, I don't see how people find this an enjoyable game. All the pros you listed mentioned everything but gameplay. Call me weird, but when I play a game the most important thing is gameplay, everything else is a bonus.
I just can't see myself sitting down and playing this. I've never been a huge fan of QTE's, though, so thats just me.
To each their own though, thanks for actually taking the time to tell me.

I really enjoyed playing it, more than I think I would have just watching it. if you're gonna make a game that's just a string of QTEs, this is how you do it. They feel kinesthetic as fuck, and make sense in relation to the actual beat-em-up sections, no retarded "press F to grieve" shit.

in also has some fun with it. Early on in the game, you spread the sticks to sprout more arms. Late game, it prompts you with this. Guess what happens next.

Then, the final boss has his own QTEs, and as you beat his ass, he starts getting sloppy and misses them. It's great.

Uncharted 2

>>337629203
And again, I can absolutely respect your opinion on the matter, it's not for everyone.

I watching it all on youtube doesn't weird you out too much, you can just do that though and treat it entirely as an anime. Just make sure the videos include the text backstory segments and you also watch the DLC.

>>337629203
do you hate movies and television too, because they don't have "gameplay"?

I mean it's all just media entertainment you waste your time with, does it really matter what type it is? I'm not sayin AW doesn't have shallow as fuck combos and is really repetitive to play, but "it has no gameplay" isn't an argument about something's actual merit.

DreatOut is a Fatal Frame copycat set in Indonesia, made my Indonesians. The ghosts you encounter are based on Indonesian mythos.

No, I don't hate movies and television because they don't have gameplay. I don't hate books because they don't have amazing visuals either. Kind of a stupid question to ask, don't you think?
If I want to sit down and play a game, I would rather play it. Thats how I find games fun.
And faulting a video game for having no gameplay is actually a pretty good argument against its merit.

How come no one mentioned Just Cause 2? Even if it's in a fictional island nation, it's obviously just Brunei+Malaysia+Singapore+Indonesia with a different name.

Except for the snow.
