The only video game I can think of that actually uses a significant amount of cryptid folklore is fucking Fallout 76, burgers need to step up

I agree OP, the existence of distinct, thriving cultures is highly antisemitic.

Far far west? Dead cell? (only cliche is the baguette healing item you have to turn on.)
Plus is it so bad that people make game around their culture? I am not insulting you here, I am genuinely curious about your opinion.

Asscreed in Paris was like the 9th Asscreed with none of the previous 8 having anything to do with France at all

>pretending like what I just listen does not count.
You said the USA does not have mythology, I dont even understand why you are bringing up non mythology outside of farming for (You)s.
>>743434926
If we are speaking of AAA then the list is quite small, but indies made plenty of them. We have Until Dawn and some of the Ass Creed games that I know off the top of my head plus every ghost related game.
>>743435107
Thats besides the point. But yes, I would like to see more usage of the lessen known ones like the jersey devil/owl man and such.
>>
>>743435212
well, making game about your culture is ok but isn't it too much redundant? lets say a country makes only game set in their country. the one who plays those games will be jaded of the same thing over and over at the end, don't you agree?

Then just don't limit yourself to only playing games from France?

Dafuq is a Wendigo? I'm talking about real USA mythology like Captain America.
>>
>>743436948
Cape shit is not a myth. Its a work of fiction. You can say that current USA myths is them trying to rewrite history inserting niggers into everything and that men can get pregnant.
>>
>>743437183
Super heroes and cowboys fighting indigenous w/ guns-- while reciting the constitution, is an important cultural artefact. It's what makes the people of America unique. Thinking of America is thinking of that. No one cares if a drunkard farmer hallucinates a Wendigo.

>>743437704
Hey retard, follow the conversation a bit closer before responding. I am not speaking of culture in any sense outside of strictly mythology. This is what I originally responded to >>743434030 and here is the definition of myth that I am referring to.

myth
/mÄ­th/
noun
A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society.
I am not arguing that cape shit wont gain myth status, its just too early as people still know its not actually real (hopefully)
>>
>>743438184
Ok but the og post is about >>743432815 french cliches like Paris and that's the equivalent of this. furthermore,
>typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings
So cape heroes.
>or heroes
So cape heroes.
>ancient story
Superman been around forever.
>I am not arguing that cape shit wont gain myth status
It is myth status. These oral legends are transmitted by the people of America to explain their customs, worldviews, and even their ideals. Everyone knows the origin stories but no one reads it. Because it's trash. But they know of it. Like the story of Zeus, Odin. Captain America. That is the ideal American. This is why he wears the palette of the USA.

>let's make a norse mythology theme for the 534886th time!
Name 534886
>>
>>743438876
We can simply agree to disagree because I simply refuse to consider the renditions of Marvel and DC media as myth. Simply too recent, my autism will allow it when everyone who was around during its original creation is dead. I will concede on things like Cowboys however.
>>
>>743438876
Also keep in mind I never engaged with the OPs topic.

Wait a minute my country doesnt make videogames.

>>743439223
No one who's made Superman is alive, probably lol.
That's why Americans gotta take pride in their old customs of an ancient time, when they could just put "America" in the name of a hero,now that they're endangered.

>No one who's made Superman is alive, probably lol.
I was trying to imply that anyone of any age that got exposed to the very first Superman comic which AI said was made in 1938. So if I push it to include those born in that year, they would be 87 or 88 years old. I will send you a telegram in 10-20 years from now saying you are correct.

>>743439223
marvel and dc were made exclusively by jews and homosexuals so i don't count them for that reason in particular

they are also vapid and devoid of ANY value or meaning whatsoever in a way that heroic myths never were
>>
>>743439745
I can only think of a single Scandinavian game based on local mythology and that was a tiny indie game. I might be forgetting something obvious, maybe there's some Paradox game or something, I don't play those.
>>
american should make indian comanche siouxie navajo games
>>
>>743440059
I agree with you but it does not change that fact that people 100 years from now wont think of Superman like they think of Santa Clause. We still have people attacking actors on stage because they are playing the part of some historical figure they dont like.

>>743440234
fair, I grand you that
