why are there no games set in colonial america
isn't there an asscreed game?
>>7201967743 and it sucks
>>720196692>BioShock Inifite>Red Dead Redemption 2>Call of Duty: Black Ops
>>720196774there's several, op is being gay
Everything before "wild west" might as well not exist to normalfags
>>720196692Cus its boring and even golems know it
>>720196692Its weird because it lends itself really easily to a survival game
>>720196692columbia was way sexier than lady liberty
>>720196853The Wild West is colonial America. They were literally colonizing the West.
>>720196692>why are there no games set in the most boring time in america
>>720196826>BioShock Inifite>Red Dead Redemption 2>Call of Duty: Black Opsthe colonial period ended in 1783, none of those games are set in that era
>>720196809It's not the worst actually, easily ranks as one of the best ACs in the contemporary Ubislop lineup
>>720196692>implying
>>720196692Nobody outside the US cares about colonial times here. People love the wild west and find it relatable, but the colonial era is just boring. Also because we speak the same language as the Brits it needs to have some appeal to them because they don't want to be reminded about how they lost.
>>720196692Did American settlers really had giant bitches walking amongst them?
>>720196931Imagine being a tiny little injun getting stomped on by her haha, that would have sucked so much lol :^)
>>720196692there should be a horror game set on the same themes of bone tomahawkthose fucking troglodytes are freaky man, death whistles in the night, the weird whistling in their throat getting closer as they rush at you from the corner of your eyes, out of bushes and behind rocks, freaky wide eyes and slightly open mouth but barely any actual human noises etc
>>720197016>the colonial period ended in 1783Americans should be thrown into meat grinders so their massive amounts of fat can finally serve a useful purpose.In all seriousness, kill yourself. Why do you think the US army was created? To fight fucking Indians.
is the mandate of heaven stronger than manifest destiny?
>>720196956Bullshit
>>720197151You misspelled Blood Meridian.
>>720197171are you upset because you don't know us history or are you upset that you didn't look it up beforehand? just a heads up you can search for basic information on the Internet. I know the world wide web is new to you and the mud hut village you live in, but the search function is very useful my dark skin friend.
>>720197309>reddit's favorite book
>>720197171I'm not disagreeing with you, but when I hear colonial America, I think of the continental army, tricorns and muskets, not the western frontier, the steam engine, revolvers, and cowboys vs Indians etc.
>>720197363What do you fucking thing the image in the OP stands for? Americans are truly the most retarded species on this godforsaken planet.
>>720197439oh boy I'll just leave this hear my retarded friend
>>720196692>what is Age of Empires 3
>>720197574>random graph with no source Did you got that one at Primary School?Manifest Destiny, Columbia and expansion into the West all involved colonization.
>>720197016The picture OP posted implied 1850s or later thoughbeit
>>720198004Someone mentioned Age of Empires III and that covers the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Settler colonialism and European Imperialism in the Americas lasted until the late 1800s. That whole period only makes sense as starting with Columbus discovering America for Spain, and ending with the Spanish-American war, after which America became the sole great power in the Western Hemisphere.
>>720197889I see the issue, your conflating colonization with colonial. The colonial period derives its name from the formation of the original 13 colonies up until the revolutionary war.https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Colonial_Times_1607-1789
>>720197095>Also because we speak the same language as the Brits it needs to have some appeal to them because they don't want to be reminded about how they lost.We're not America and don't have as fragile an ego. We wouldn't mind at all, our history is full of victories and defeats, shit happens.
>>720198004op said colonial period, I assume he used that picture because he thought it looked neat
>>720198395The factually correct term would be something like "British Colony Period" but I guess the Muttmericans don't like that they were a mere spawn of the British.
probably have to shoot injuns to make it interesting and world is too woke for that
>>720196692Age of Empires III
>>720198484it's pretty sad how abrasive you are about being wrong, it's ok not to know something.
>>720196692>indians and buffalo's running from the settlersAlways find funny when 'murricans get all moral about European colonialism in Africa and Asia
>>720196692Aside from AC3 and AoE3 there's American Conquest, which I haven't played
>>720198597You are the one who posted a image of Columbia and Manifest Destiny.
>>720198689Americans were the original Israelis. They exterminated everything in their path while playing the victim.
>>720198707I'm not op my retarded friend
>>720198920Yeah right.
>>720196692In my dilettante opinion it'd be too hot a take even for americans to make anything more than some strategy like Gettysburg.Making a pre civil war setting may be problematic if it's not some action western.It'll be even hotter to make alternative future stories where dixies have won, democrat yankees are shown as two-faced suckups in court as they were historically, actual reasons for their civil war, interactions with contemporary empires and so on.Surely you don't think that a country that has actual agitprop divisions and an entire industry (movies) completely in cohorts with spooks will ever allow any touchy AAA games?
>>720197037Agreed. Connor kinda sucks as a protag, but the game itself is decent, plays well, good setting, and good cast otherwise.Or at least did when I played it. I heard the remastered version has some problems.
>>720198689They had to kill all the bisons to grind them into patties for all the McGoyslop chains they built on top on of burning Indian villages
>>720196692Because mutts get triggered the moment anything reminds them of their slavery and socialism
>>720196692>a settler builds a cabin>a cavalry unit genocides some injuns>"goodness gracious, here come the railroad!"What a fucking snoozefest. Even the American War of Independence + Civil War are boring, somehow. Ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, and Shogunate era Japan are the best periods of history for mass appeal.
>>720198969LOL
>>720199647Nah anon, civil war was fucking hilarious, no lie.When you had faggots like general zollicoffer running around, history can't help but look back and burst out laughing at itself.
>>720197103yeah. where do you think Paul Bunyan came from?
>>720199375Connor could have been written better, but I think he's a more compelling Assassin than Ezio. He's stone cold and critical of both sides, doesn't constantly spit out reddit one liners and try to be liked by everyone. He has his mind set on one thing and it's his targets. They also did a lot to improve and diversify the combat and parkour. The hunting was fun too. Only thing I hated about it was how bland New York and Boston felt.
>>720196692How is that part of her dress not slipping off her left tiddy
>>720198969correct I am not op, I'm sorry you are retarded and unable to take an L
>>720196774yeah and it sucks ass
>>720198689Indians are too stupid to build a wall to keep the Europeans out! Also, to answer OP's question, because it's boring as fuck.
>>720200636her nipples are rock hard and perky so it catches the dress
>>720199810Connor is a tank, slaughtering 10 redcoats in 10 seconds felt awesome, neither Ezio nor Edward go that hard
>>720196692Probably because it's only interesting for americans. And can only be made by americans. But americans can't depict natives as savages, which they actually were. More so, they probably can't even depict violence against them without being sued.
>>720198004BioShock Infinite takes place in 1912 and it also takes place in a "futuristic" flying city. Doesn't really fit the vibe.
>>720199375Connor is actually a great protag, but he's completely surrounded by retards. Every time there's a problem, there's a relatively obvious solution but everyone does something batshit insane instead.>Hmmm, your skin is light enough for you to pass as a Spaniard, so you should be able to go into town without sticking out>No, don't bother changing your clothes - Spaniards wear moccasins, snakeskin armbands, and carry bows all the time>Call yourself "Connor" btw, very Spaniard name
>>720196692Colonization?
>>720203581https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCEw5RZK3LgI wish this wasn't cut from the game.
MANIFEST DESTINY, BITCHES
>>720198850Native Americans didn't really have anything to destroy. They didn't have a civilization, just a bunch of waring tribes. But what happened to the Aztecs and the Inca is a real shame since those were actual civilizations.
>>720208827Nah fuck those heart eating bastards
>>720196692That picture itself isn't set in colonial america>>720196939No, that's not how it works, stop trying to bend the meaning of words. Colonial America means Colonial America>>720197171>>720197439>>720205893Not colonial.If you guys really can't tell the difference between the early modern period (basically medieval setting with mercantilism and exploration) and the industrial-age western genre then I don't know what to tell you. So obviously different experiences
>>720209546Anon, half the "americans" on this website don't actually give a single fuck about american history and just say random shit to be a part of a discussion. These people don't deserve your effort.
>>720208827>Native Americans didn't really have anything to destroy. They didn't have a civilization, just a bunch of waring tribesThey were pretty much Mongols without horses.
>time period no one cares about>"durr where are the vidya?"anyway, Greedfall
>>720209546I thought the American Revolution was the ass end of the colonial period though
>>720205073a colonial era party rpg? that seems kinda interesting
expedition conquistador was nice
>>720196692here's one for you, OP
>>720196939Colonial refers to the time period before the war of independence, when America was a colony, not to it colonizing anything.Retard.
>>720196692Sid Meier's ColonizationBut honestly, this is the real reason >>720197095If you make a game set in the colonial US of A you're pretty much throwing your audience outside a handful of red states in the trash. Nobody outside America cares at all, and even within most people are embarrassed of that age.
>>720210987>a colony>1
>>720196692There are strategy games, both grand and real time. There was ass c 3. We need a Last of the Mohicans vidya.
>>720196692I didn't know colonial America had giant field bosses running around.
>>720210984The funny thing is that this could actually be a really insanely cool game if people were willing to get creative, make it fantasy and reference european and native american mythology. People are gay though and would want to make it political instead.
>>720197151Aztec horror game would be kino
>>720211012Why would people be embarassed of the colonial age? What a pussy ass post.
>>720198850So nothing like the Israelis
>>720196692
>>720211293when's the Paul Bunyan raid
>>720211293Can't make American Gods into a game now that Neil got metooed.
>>720197095>it needs to have some appeal to them because they don't want to be reminded about how they lostI don't get this. anything with britain in it is likely to be anti-british
>>720196692Just not an interesting setting. What could you do with it that hasn’t been done by a billion flicks and pulp novels? Assuming this isn’t a thinly veiled /pol/ thread about colonialism that is. Also OP that’s not a colonial period piece you dumb fag.Like, I’m trying to think of any interesting game ideas for this period, and I’m just coming up blank. The stories aren’t that interesting. Best I can do is like an RTS, and we all know those do just swell as far as sales go.
I would just like a retelling of the war of independence. Theres nothing that really goes though it in detail and in entirety.
>>720212368I'm working on a survival horror game set during the colonial period right now. Stay tuned.
>>720212368>What could you do with it that hasn’t been done by a billion flicks and pulp novels?why would there be this many works about it if it's not interesting
