European Videogame Aesthetics

These games prove that the world needs more video games using European aesthetics. No, this is not some kind of backdoor schizo thread. I'm American and I've, frankly, grown tired of the generic fantasy, sci-fi, or American urbanized landscape that most games seem to default to. These games are elevated by their usage of European aesthetics, history, art, and culture that makes them stand out.
Too much of anything is bad and if we start reaching into the ass end of Europe to find anything to base a game on it would suck, but Christ I think we could use a few more games like these. Lies of P isn't even made by Italians yet it is the most Italian game ever made.

I mean seriously: We have games based on America and Japan and China constantly. Every game that comes out of China is based on Wu Kong. Most Japanese games have a clear Japanese aesthetic. American games tend to default to a generic urban landscape or just go for Scifi or Fantasy. Please. More European stuff.

Lies of P is Korean and has a distinctive Asian take on European aesthetic and KCD2 is a homosexual and ugly borefest, hardly a European aesthetic renaissance with only one decent game left.

posting KCD

lol
faggot

hiring consultants in first game

good

hiring consultants in second game

bad

i really wonder number of people who hated it because of the le woke, probably <10k

I never said it was a renaissance, I am asking for one.
There being one muslim dude doesn't change the fact that KCD2 is 99% about historical Bohemia that is much more interesting than generic urban landscape #10,492,854

KCD was only popular because he wasn't afraid to make an all white/slavic eastern european medieval setting that didn't kiss ass to revisionists who wanted to force racial diversity to the game that didn't belong there just to win brownie points. Pentiment did this right and there was no need to include foreigners in the small town mystery other than one random guy who just happened to visit the place.

Hiring normal consultants for first game good.

Hiring jewish consultants for second game bad.

learn the difference. Pentiment even had fag monks in it.

KCD was only popular because

this delusion dwag.

"These games prove..."

shit nobody's heard of

shit nobody's heard of

faggot simulator

Unironically what did OP mean by this?

random slavic villages

stand out

Huh? KCDs setting is the worst part of it. That retarded nationalistic LARP actually ruined the series, would've been excellent if it was in a FUN fantasy world

you should continue skyrimming

No that's why KCD was never as popular as TES or Mafia. Nobody wants to be stuck in a slavic village milking slavic cows. People play because despite the shitty setting, the game is good

Black king arthur.

Black this historical character.

Black that historical character.

It was strongly taking a stance against historical revision about ethnic diversity in those times that TV and other left media was pushing to blackwash historical characters with we wuz kangz agenda. It was a decent game on top of that. Not hard to figure out why people enjoyed it. People that are into historical setting games enjoy historical accuracy, not pandering.

I've, frankly, grown tired of the generic fantasy

Then why did you post the trifecta of astroturfed generic European fantasy slop?

More like european cuckold woke tranny slop

Are we ready to admit that 90% of Japanese games that are successful also coincidentally rely heavily on European aesthetics?

There is nothing Asian about any of the Dark Souls games, the Final Fantasy games are 95% European, all of them
Dead Rising, Dragon's Dogma...

the most Italian game ever made

Anon, the game is set in fictional Vienna and every "italian" character has a ridiculous name like Lorenzini Venigni and speaks with a shitty sicilian accent straight from some mafia B-movie. If you don't understand why Lorenzini Venigni sounds ridiculous, it's like if I made an American character and called him Trump McBurger

i don't think most people got offended because of a back merchant who is treated like a foreigner.

life of P is kinda generic but we haven't had any big eruo steampunk games.

Their science fantasy settings (anything 7th or further really) are very uniquely Japanese though theme wise and idea wise even if not visually.

science fantasy

You mean stuff like Dunbine?
Yes, I can absolutely admit and kneel to the Japanese's mastery of scifantasy, but ultimately they are second to the French with artists like Moebius

He does kind of feel shoehorned in because of his dialogue, pandering.

Oh you look different! Where you from Merchant sir?

From further down south, doubt you heard about the place [insert place name.]

I see, business doing good for you?

You could say so, so you want to buy something or just stare at the wares?

Is how that dialogue would've actually went down rather than whatever liberal shit was written there to glorify african appeals.

i don't get it
you guys want him to be lynched
or get treated like nothing

but something in the middle "they gone kill me dwag for being an uppity negro" is too much

OH WOW LOOK AT ME I'M LE HECKING SPECIAL TOKEN BLACK GUY! I GOT SUCH GOOD SHIT ON ME HOMIE! LOOK AT MY STRONG ARMS! LOOK AT MY BODY..

not realistic in any setting, have you ever talked to a black person before? I have even though I grew up in mostly white areas. People don't just get a fucking persecution complex because they are in another country surrounded by different folks and have to glorify their own ethnic background and justify themselves being there on a daily basis. Its just not realistic writing for him to suddenly jump to such personality.

Might as well also admit that "European aesthetics" originated in bronze age Mediterranean cultures and a modern frog or germ arrived only at the very end of its evolution to claim all the glory for himself

Do you consider Prince of Persia to be part of European Aesthetics regarding video games?

you know nothing about history, have you talked to an American negro before?

sure thing bro

Seriously its not a legitimate writing and meant to pander to the leftists woke crowd. Its common in the medieval times to ask someone where one hails from when they look different because its a chance to learn about news and people back then enjoyed hearing about foreign lands and weren't xenophobic on a daily basis unless they were at a recent war with the group. (British hating the french for example and vice versa.)

Yes that civ also goes back to bronze ages. No that doesn't make it the same thing, that's really stupid
But the line that goes from Renaissance to Rome to Greece to Mycenean and Minoan civs and to god knows what came before them, that line can't be ignored

KCD was only popular because [delusions]

LOL. LMAO even.

And how many did the original sell?
Come to think of it, we haven't had a proper Sinbad game, that could be a great thing next for developers to cook up. It has a lot of things that would be great for a sandboxy ship travel/combat featuring hack and slash rpg.

Can't wait for Lies of P dlc, the tone is just as sad and somber as E33
youtu.be/-VrjGbwam7o

Yeah I am really looking forward to it too

somehow didn't post dark souls or BB

the original sold around 8 million but it took 5 almost 6 years AND was discounted for like 5 bucks and give away for free many times

Dark Souls is fantasy

Blood Borne kinda fits the criteria but bro it is 10 years old at this point...

why is this board still seething about KCD2?
I played it and its pretty good game with basically no woke shit in it except Musa which is okay enough explained in-game, no we wuz kingz and shit so thats already a good start.

m-muh optional male on male romance

damn i can't believe RPGs were already woke in the early 2000s....

muh Vávra

based guy who hates trannies and niggers and funds free speech with his own money.

99% of souls aesthetics are copy pasted (exaggerated size) euro locations

Now all they need to do is kick out the niggers, sandniggers and pajeets out of their countries so Europe can be good again

only westcucks have that problem
us post-soviet chads have only asian minorities from vietnam and mongolia

something like 7-8 mil at really heigh discount
and you actually believe kcd2 would've sold 6mil if it wasn't for gay or negro

garg.jpg - 612x765, 48.8K

you're a retard

All this proves is that the right lost the culture war despite whining about woke 24/7.

they are mindbroken because KCD2 was supposed to be this big culture war victory but not
they got a reality check

no one cares if a game is good

At least 5mil.

the cognitive dissonance you guys are under in every situation is actually hilarious.

what are you yapping about nigger?

not sure what jeeted video you're sending but i know where i live
zero niggers

Ive yet to see something like this though, Oblivion was limited by the technology of it's time and Witcher is dark fantasy so they purposely make cities ugly and depressing

you are delusional.
lords of fallen is still trying to recover.

well i don't think KCD2 is woke
but it had a big boycott campaign against it.
that's why i said no one cares

Dark Fantasy.

Its just heroic fantasy with just horror elements. Main character is never in real danger.

What I mean is that they avoid doing whimsical fairytale architecture cause it's not light hearted

Nah, not really

Not lighthearted.

Means that the people wouldn't seek to have some light in their life in world despite the story being told.

Just makes it more like a theme park ride rather than a living breathing world then. Most people would try to brighten up their surrounding if it looked dull and depressing if it was allowed. People love decorating and shit for a reason to brighten up the bleak existence. Either way, there would also be plenty of color to come from natural colors used to build buildings to not need fancy fairy tale looking houses.

isn't lies of p koreanslop?

This sounds like Leftism Exposure 101. Guy with a developed worldview encounters the internet woke hive-mind, and they're surprised to find he doesn't comply with their hyper-conformist views, so they instantly start labeling him all the worst things they can come up with, and try to cancel him.
