Riddle me this /v/,
Why are there so few suburban themed levels?
Because its boring as fuck, why would you want to wander around looking in windows to see white kids playing games where they explore suburbs
A New Life is probably one of the greatest vidya levels ever.
>people willingly live in the suburbs
>some make it one of their life goals
Defend this.
>>342883236
Fuck this is so good.
Meh gameplaywise though.
>>342882331
Because video games are escapist
>run down a suburb street
>break into someone's house for healing itmes
>married couple screwing on the couch
LITERALLY my fetish
Because there's fucking nothing in the burbs
>>342883418
Safe, affordable, good place for a average, midddle class family to bring up children in without too many outside influences swaying their opinions and actions at a young age.
Someone like you clearly wouldn't have much use for the suburbs though
How's this one for you OP?
>>342883418
>some make it one of their life goals
It's a status thing. I guess there's also more safety in the burbs, and you have more space than a city apartment and a yard.
>>342882331
Because the best one has already been made.
>>342882331
Are there any games where I can play as a white mom in a suburban neighborhood taking my sons Josh and Nick out to my husband's barbecue party and talking to my other friends who are also moms gossiping about the latest supernatural events
>>342882331
Something about that pictures makes me feel very alone. I wonder why.
>>342883749

The lawn in the OP's image is smaller than the average garage around here.

Tranquility Lane in FO3, Paper Boy, that one DOOM 2 level was supposed to be a suburb, The Sims
I can't think of any more
MW2 had a pretty good one
POSTAL has a lot of them
>>342884116
Right, but it's all a matter of perspective. A small square of grass to let your dog shit in the city is way smaller than a burb yard
>>342884519
This was a pretty enjoyable level but also one that highlighted the weakness of a suburban level. Plain grid-layout streets. Samey buildings you can walk into and feel like you were just in it. Same basic environment and theme for long stretches.
Honestly MW2 handled it pretty well all things considered. They gave you the basic road, let you go into a couple houses and then moved you on and out to a more commercial area.
>>342882331
there's a hole fucking game anon
>>342884116
Those are front lawns. Front lawns tend to be a lot smaller than yards. Yards tend to be triple the size.
>>342885342
Other Mike was such a broken character.
>>342883418
Bro, unincorporated suburbs were the best thing ever. I had 4 neo mastiffs and me and my family would have a campfire and bbq out in the backyard 3 times a month.
Sadly can't do it anymore due to moving out and into a corporated suburb.
>>342885406
Why does it exist? You can't even do anything with a front lawn that size. May as well put the house right on the curb desu.
>>342885502
>Other Mike
>Broken character
Are you stupid? He was one of the better skaters, sure, but Daniel's older brother was the best, that's why they called him Daniel+, EVERY stat he had was higher than every other skater, so why is Other Mike broken?

No shit. I specifically didn't call out DoB for this reason. Other Mike is the girlfriend character who's unlocked from the start to let new players have fun.

Enjoy your higher cost of living and paying 10x more for 1% of the property.
>>342886361
I'll be honest, I've done both. I like them for different reasons. Living in Manhattan was phenomenal, I'm married now and kids are a possibility. I'd prefer to live somewhere quieter and less busy for that.

because it takes to much to create a dissimilar environment, to much work wich does not pay of when 90% of the people that play games just run from objective to objectiv.e
>>342887053
Mad for no reason.
I really want suburb levels too
It's that idea of it being clean, safe and sterile but something dangerous now happening juxtaposed together.
Most games now take place in some kind of warzone, so when something dangerous happens it's just more of the same

Sadly this. Living in the suburbs is terrible for NEETs or people who wish to make something of themselves.

Hard hitting questions, my American friend. These fascinating environments have certainly be under-utilized so far.

Funny, because while I was trying to ridicule the concept, I adore what Suda did with Santa Destroy. But I think most of it was inadvertent because he couldn't put many objects (cars, pedestrians) outside so you got this simmering concrete wasteland, sprawled and lazy to traverse in an empty summer afternoon.
>>342887872
Actually my Albanian friend, a huge store would make a fun level because it adds a fantasy element to something people use daily. Sure is more creative and relateable than another middle east level.
>Battling some special forces guys, mercs, aliens in a huge Tesco's
>Why are there so few epic battles on parking lots
Max Payne had a great level of this though
>>342888403
Dunno, I thought both represented American way of life. Go to the middle east in order to be able to wander the aisles back home. From hangar to hangar, sort to speak.

Is this what you faggy 18-22 year olds actually believe? I laugh every day at you retards getting clocked over the head by negros while riding your fixed gear cruiser bikes in the latest area you are trying to gentrify. Keep up the good work though, you're keeping them out of my neighborhoods with plenty of easy victims.
