I've slowly come to hate ancient egypt over the years. It was a cool fascination when I was 8, but you look into their culture and it turns out they're insane freaks

Egypt had already been a christian Roman province for 200 years by the time the muslims conquered

it was the greeks and romans that ended ancient egyptian culture

>>738955356
No they didnt they created a synthesis of their culture. It wasnt until the muslim conquest that all traces of ancient egyptian culture were lost and replaced with arab culture

>Dude why are games in ancient Egypt so rare
>Dude why are Colonial era games so rare
>Dude why are Greco-Roman games so rare

Why do people keep making these threads when such games really AREN'T that rare? Yes, I would love more games set in Egypt or Greece and such, and compared to Modern day, WW2, Medieval Europe, Feudal Japan etc sure, they're less frequently used as historical settings, but after those Egypt is like the very next tier down in terms of commonly used historical settings and certainly least for influential themes for specific levels or fantasy factions in vidya, where almost any platformer or fantasy universe has a vaguely Egyptian themed desert level/civilization

If you wanna talk about actual obscure shit, then ask why we don't have games in Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient or Medieval India, Southeast Asia, Africa (which is even a whole continent, not just a region like these other examples) Mesoamerica, the Andes, and other parts of the Precolumbian Americas and islander cultures like the Polynesians, Hawaiians, etc

There are plenty of games with an egypt level.
Do you want the whole game based in egypt? Because that would be a boring ass fucking game.

I'm >>738957359 so I'm already predisposed to find these threads kinda annoying (in part because they a, but no, you're just extremely unimaginative or misinformed

Egypt is a fantastic setting, we have thousands of games set in the middle ages or generic fantasy versions of it, and an Egyptian setting (as well most of the actually very underused settings I mentioned in my posts) has nearly all of the same things going for it that Medieval Europe does, plus it's own unique charm

Western devs are afraid of being called racist
Eastern devs just want the brown girls with the animal ears
>>
>>738957929
How would making an Egyptian game lead to the devs being called racist

>muh afrocentrist hoteps

Ubisoft made an Egyptian game featuring actual Egyptians and not only did they not get called racist for it, in fact the opposite happened where you have /v/ spamming WE WUZ every time the game comes up in spite of it NOT making the egyptians black

Call it shit if you want but it's the only AAA gaming franchise consistently doing historical settings, and does so with a decent amount of research (at least before Odyssey)

Going against the Chosen people and getting seven plagues for it could be considered a form of insanity in this reality.
