Is your country important enough to get a guaranteed spot in every game about international groups of people?
Is Overwatch good, OP?
>>59138991
It's TF2 meets a MOBA. If you like those things, it's okay. It gets really chaotic due to the area of effect abilities; though.
Unfortunately, yes. The dyke with pink fucking hair.
>>59138911
Usually.
We got sniper and Saxton Hale in TF2. 2 chars in Overwatch. Miranda in Mass Erect. Motherfucking Roger from Tekken. Even that one rapey dude from Far Cry 3.
we're usually represented by a Russian-like characters with some Polish qualities
Reinhardt from overwatch is a nice hero but he does not really have any german traits. However just like all the other german characters in vidya he does have a rather unusual name. Sometimes i wonder how foreign devs stumble upon names like Rainer, Fürchtegott or Wolfgang
>>59141015
I had no idea Miranda was Australian. I thought she was British.
>>59140329

>>59141966
You're just jealous that your parents called you Kevin instead
t. Wolfgang
>>59141970
>implying
literally zero games where finland isn't represented by one of the main characters
>>59141966
He's literally just Braum, who's Russian.
Mei is neat
>>59144794
I can't think of Finnish game characters at all.
>>59145126
She doesn't even look Asian.
>>59143524

Yep. And, of course, ours had to be a happy green and yellow nigger. I'm surprised he doesn't have soccer powers.
>>59141966
>Heavy armor
>Old ideals
>Cool as fuck old timer, past full of history
>not german traits
Hans pls
Thank God no, stereotypes about us are too cheap.
>>59141966
wolfgang is a fairly common name here and it is fucking badass. one of the best german names.
ontopic: we don't have an austrian one but blizzard would probably get in trouble for adding josef fritzl or adolf hitler, since that's all the evil or violent austrians the world knows about
>>59138991
It's a more casual TF2 with skills.
>>59153035
Arnold best Australian!

>>59153143
oh yeah, i forgot about arnie.
i'd play the terminator in overwatch but they're probably already topped up on their edgy quota with reaper
Nope. we get actively avoided. Generally goes for movies and comics too. We only get represented in historical strategy game, and that one manga about vikings. Every single one of our neighbors repeatedly get characters based on them, but never us. Ever.
>>59145126
>>59149503
She doesn't look alcoholic enough.
>>59153335
Just make a goofy action arnie.
He'd fit the tone of the game perfectly.
>>59153573
yeah, i could imagine that actually.
i bet if they did that then people on the forums would complain about "too many german characters"
kek
>tfw the beta is over
It's been more fun than I anticipated.
Also yes, but we're stuck with brutal tank spitting communist puns. This game especially is a huge collection of cliches.
Zarya speeks terrible Russian, VA clearly never leaned it and everything line comes from google translate.
Russian map is absolutely triggering too. It's spelled wrong, it's a terrible map from gameplay perspective, it's full of stereotypes and of course it's always winter in Russia.
Also the fucking voice announcements in the factory section of the map. God fucking damnit, those are train station operator recordins and it says stupid shit like "Take caution, a train is arriving to track 1"
>>59149503
She's snowmongol, she looks fine. More Asian than D.Va too.
Mei best character.
>>59153743
Just make sure he doesn't seem like a walked right out of a futuristic Götterdämmerung and he'd already be breaking the mold for the German speaking characters.
Reminds me. Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that Mercy's ult line is heard in German by the opposing team and English by her teammates?
>>59154371
>Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that Mercy's ult line is heard in German by the opposing team and English by her teammates?
i actually thought that was pretty nice, it's a fun way to distinguish between friendly and enemy. definitely tripped me out when i heard it for the first time.
her accent in some of her lines is fucking dreadful though.
>>59154371
Same happens with Genji and Hanzo.
Speaking of which, both of their lines are unitnelligibru moonspeaku, makes it hard to tell which one's which.
>>59154520
>her accent in some of her lines is fucking dreadful thoug
Didn't they recast her VA to fix that?
Also, pretty sure he has line like this: "Ich [something] dich". Isn't it extremelly rude to use "dich" instead of "Sie"?
we usually get maps of our country n shit,for some reason it's always santorini
you do get the occasional videogame character too,tho
>>59138911
Yes
>>59154932

i played yesterday and her lines towards reinhardt sound fucking awful, i dunno.
>Isn't it extremelly rude to use "dich" instead of "Sie"?
only against people you do not know. "dich" is casual, "sie" is formal. you use the former for friends, the latter for strangers or your boss or something
>a fucking dwarf
>shittiest Hero in the game
>>59155445
why are dwarves seen as nordic anyway? nordics aren't short
yes
3 times in fact
>>59155560
But dwarves are from Norse mithology
>>59155560
Norse mythology. And Blizzard just loves dwarfs and Norse mythology.
>>59155445
They feature in Norse mythology. A lot of the cool shit the Norse gods have was made my dwarves.
>>59155445
Dorf stacking is a legit strat. Unless the enemy team repicks heroes specifically to counter 8 fucking turrets in the same room area, they're gonna have a bad time.
>>59155304
Yeah, Russian has exactly the same concept in "ты" and "Bы".
In the context of Owerwatch it sounds completely off. Only some of the heroes are her acquaintances and even then it should be more official.
Calling Reinhardt, her elder or Reaper - both a superior and an enemy informally is stupid.

Do people from obscure countries ever feel inadequate that decent media depicting people from and in their country is few and far between? So many video games take place in America to the point where even foreign devs would rather make American protags than protags from their respective countries. Even Japan, which has plenty of games set in Japan, has tons of games set in the United States even though it isn't crucial to the story.
Do people from irrelevant countries ever yearn to play games set in their countries or is it more exciting to roll around digital versions of major American cities, blowing things up like you see in the movies?
>>59138911
my country is not important enough to get a spot in any game ever
>>59159845
Owerwatch does have a Brazillian though.
He's the best support character.
>>59160651
but Brazilians are white
We are never featured as a player nation but each time you play these civ type of games for any country you play as the Jews. Running ''your'' country behind the scenes, making war, playing with economics, changing your nation's form of government culture and religion. Etc.
Well not that much actually ,if you think that I'm telling shit, tell me 5 French character in multiplayer games
>>59138911
No but apparently one of the main antagonists in Ass Creed is a Finn.
I know this only because of the hilarious way the voice actor who plays him says Perkele.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHzo9-L1kvU
This shit is hilarious.
>>59160651
His projectiles feel floaty as fuck and I hate using him.
Anyway I do think it's funny that Brazilian characters are usually dancers in some way. Like Eddie from tekken.
>>59161133
Spy in TF2.
Widow from overwatch.
Some general from World in Conflict.
Napoleon in Civilization.
That's all I remember I guess.
>>59161348
What means perkele ?
I hear that a lot and I don't have a single clue of what it means
>>59161474
Widow is French ?
>>59161551
Pagan Finnish Satan
>>59161551
It's a swear word. One of our better ones.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkele
Also "Otso Berg" as the ass creed character is called is horrible at pronouncing it.
Truly awful.
>>59161348
Otso Berg
>>59161551
It's not thay hard, huh?
Perkele=Satan.

Yes. Look at her replics in collection menu. Half of them are french.
>>59161626
Yes, obviously.
Her voice lines include "Magnifique", "Shershe la senpai" and "O-la-la" and she has the stereotypical accent.
Wellcom to the world of cringe.

I'll watch some video and I'll write the mines here so you can write them properly :)
If it's a game made by Japan yes, those guys love us.
>>59161830
The fucking cringe I felt when I heard this fucking accents oh my god at least the spy had a minor accents
At least it's no Quebec
>>59161472
Just spam it down chokepoints or use it at point blank.
It's actually pretty good because it doesn't have damage falloff and you can easily pick Bastions with it.
And you don't use him for fighting anyway. Lucio is for rallying your team, making/denying pushes and healing your frontline.
>>59138911
No, and it'd be embarrassing to try
What the fuck is a "Canadian character"?

Also how do you feel about the Russian on CS GO do you think they give a good image of your country ?
>take Zen, Hinduism, daoism, and Buddhism
>shove them all into a ball juggling robot and give him a peace sign emote
This game is diverse in the worst way possible, everyone is reduced to safe stereotypes for mainstream appeal but it's obvious they've been stereotyped so hard half the characters are walking American meme perceptions of other countries.
>>59161839
So perkele is literally Thor?
>>59162334
I don't play CSGO, but I believe Russian gamer stereotypes are over exaggerated.
There are kids and shitlords in every nation, but naturally you notice them more when they stand out with a different language.
>>59162556
Yeah I think that too
Actually what is your favorite vidya ?

>>59163353
So Victoria 2?
>>59163200
Some sandbox shit, that's for sure. I'm not really into vidya, some GTA or fallout kind of game, I don't know.
Maybe I can blow up La Moneda by myself, who knows.
Chilean military coup: The game
>>59162652
I don't know. I'd say Pokemon, but then I completely ignored all Sun&Moon news.
I don't think I've frequently played any of the top time games in last year.

kinda sounds like Just Cause 2/3. Hispanic mercenary blowing shit up to liberate a Latino country from its oppressive military government. only for some reason the country looks more like a Pacific Island than a central/south american nation
>>59163583
Do you play Star Conflict ? It is made by the same editors of War Thunder
>>59163432
>>59163584
Isn't that what Tropico series about?
Or that >>59163618
Except San Esperito (Just Cause 1) sounds closer to South Americas. But JC dated horribly.
Panau is Middle Asia and Medici mediterranian.
>>59163618
Never played it so I don't know.
But cunts are different.

according to the comics, Sniper's actually from New Zealand
>>59163618
it seemed kind of like a mash-up of Cuba/India/Philippines to me
>>59163717
No, but it looks kinda cool, I'll look into it.
I got into WT only because of flying and it does that pretty great.
I'm somewhat looking forward to their new Mad Max Robocraft game.
>>59163840
I don't know of any video game characters that's norwegian, I don' think there are any. Only know that we're a playable nation in the Wargame series and some Paradox grand strategy games
>>59164185
hes right, in one of the comics its revealed the Sniper is from New Zealand. thats why hes a skinny beta, in the TF2 universe all Australians are alpha badasses like Saxton Hale. New Zealand sank to the bottom of the ocean and Sniper's parents sent him off to Australia when he was young so he wouldnt die from the flooding
