How come there aren't more games set in an African war? Basically the only example is Far Cry 2.

because despite there literally being hundreds of unique cultures and languages in Africa, they are all equally uninteresting. Id definitely play a game set in the Rwandan genocide tbh.
Ditto
Only thing I have are Arma rp
Westoids, leftoids and various other groups get angry when african reality is reflected in the media. They all threw a fit when Resident Evil portrayed what your average african nation was like, a dirty, poverty stricken, shithole. How do you think they'll react to Idi Armin simulator? Or Liberarian Warfare?
>Liberian/Central African Warfare
>spinoff by the same studio and team behind Syrian Warfare
would buy day 1 tbh
Tutsi shill
Once you've seen one you've seen them all. Africa is boring as frick.
That and no modern AAA game would allow you to massacre africans, RE5 had insane amounts of shit thrown at it for that.
Have you seen black Africans fight with actual guns? Would be certainly very entertaining for a while but people will call it racist for depicting blacks like they're too stupid to handle guns.
Why aren't there any games about the attempted Mongol invasion of Croatia?
Cool story but fake and gay.
I want explore Africa during Victorian era.
Because you only have two options.
Create something completely fictitious.
Or show the truth of what it's really like over there and get called out for being racist or hated on for makeing up "lies"
Africa is a hell hole in certain parts.
Shit is fricked so whatever side you dont play as will be mad, causing a scandal and westfricks dont want to show the poor ol' black people committing war crimes
a Blood Diamond type of game with good shooting and survival mechanics would be legit a fun time.
no one wants to play a game where both sides are using bootleg AKs and driving toyota hilax trucks
>That one video of that craftsmen mentioning machetes were used during genocides
>Every leftist homosexual gets assmad at that comment
>Despite it being true
I watched the video and that's not why people were shitting on him, they were shitting on him because he's a moron that clearly doesn't know how to use a machete properly and for what it was designed.
You can't just chop off hands however you feel like in a first world country. So he cannot show it for what it was designed.
There’s no wrong way to use a machete. They’ve been an incredibly flexible tool/weapon/depopulation device throughout the 20th century.
>breaks the blade on vice grip
>smashes blade on anvil
>uses machete wrong
>still works
>assmad because it works
lmao
>What is jagged alliance
Nobody cares about it. Blood diamonds tried to make people aware of the ongoing africa war but cared so nobody watched or paid their documentaries.
Too much rape
Never enough rape
What is the videogame equivalent of Who Killed Captain Alex?
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
>Risks of causing outrage
>poor at best documentation of what's going on, even if you try to show the truth you will eventually get something wrong and get called out
>Appealing setting, but only to a niche market
It's not a worth gamble to make.
>Play african Mali soldier
>Can't crouch right
>Can't crawl right
>Never use iron sight
>Just hold it in the general direction of the enemy and shoot
>While screaming random commands
>Not even sure where the enemy is
>Share some cigarettes randomly and enjoy the desert wind
>Be reminded I'm still in battle
>Fill my now empty magazines one bullet at a time
>Stand up with 2 or 3 of my other buddies
>Shoot together in a random direction hoping to hit something
>Out of ammo
>Give up with 0 kills

if you want to set your game in africa and make it at least 10% realistic setting-wise, nobody's gonna invest in it and i assume the same story about publishing. africa is nasty and awful, constant bloody civil wars, local insane warlords eating hearts of their enemies (literally), aids, child labor/soldiers, population doing nothing but waiting for gibs of the first world and a high chance to be caught between big bois fighting for whatever they fight today. there are exemptions to the rule ofc.
landscapes are fricking beautiful tho
There is also a great deal of poaching.
gonna check it, thanks anon. haven't watch anything made by vice in a while
>he doesn't know
vice has gone to immense shit within the last 7 years, the classic docs we loved at the beginning are no more.
Let me guess? Didn't portray third worlders in a good way?
huh? No you moron they pozzed out.
>he REALLY doesn't know.
That's what I said. Thing is its not really their fault. You can bet those responsible for portraying third worldies in a wrong way were fired and replaced by diversity hires.
oh man i know
that's why last time i watched vice it was a dumbass war series in 2014
What was that classic one about the people that lived in that sewer?
Hamilton's pharmacopea or whatever is kinda cool too if you can find whole episodes.
My dream game is a Tropico-like city building but set in Africa. So basically El Presidente but more edgy with actual drug dealing and ability to terrorize. All should be done in a funny way of course.
>Great Leader! The Non-tutsis are complaining about getting killed by machetes! They saying if you continue they will kill you
>Alright mon, let's use bullets instead
>Great Leader you are a genius
Something silly like that.
>tfw no rhodesian bush war fps that plays like rising storm 2
>tfw wont get to wear comfy shorts with a fal
We could've had such perfect kino bros....
Because people flipped their shit at RE5 even back before shit was as racially-charged as it is now, so people just avoid the location entirely as a result.
The devs would get branded as racists if they tried to make that kind of a game
Africa is bascially 30% sand, 30% grass, and 40% black people.
It's true.
Would it be racist to only portray black people and not include any whites or other minorities?
Outside of major financial and business hubs and north/South Africa, there are very few non-Africans in Africa because it’s a very poor, very unstable continent for the most part that you generally would not wanna be in aside for humanitarian work.
considering on the Hollywood approved african culture movies coming out
they'd be fine with it if they looked tribal WITH guns
so unga bunga max, but killin white man
Modern Warfare 3 did it, but nobody cared cause it was a cheap knockoff of the Brazil missions from the last game
So does this African guy get paid by Sseth for using his likeness in his videos? Seems pretty unfair if not.
People are extremely weird and awkward about Africa. Even these african comedies on youtube draw nervous laughter from people who wonder if it's really ok to not treat it like high class cinema. Games set in Africa raise the same "problems" so I guess most devs would rather not touch it. RE had you shoot local zombies and the result was predictable.
iirc the photo is from an interview where he said he's a lone sentinel placed in a town that could be retaken by the opposing army any time. He probably has more pressing matters to care about
Metal Gear Solid 6 would have taken place in the congo
imagine a game set in africa developed by asians
Because it would be branded racist, unless you did a complete highly romanticized historical revisionism and made the proud dignified black soldiers fighting against the evil white colonizers in Rhodesia or some shit.
>tfw no African tps/musou hybrid where you manage troop morale with cigs and western goods, bestow blessings for buffs/wear elaborate gear for intimidation and prestige
>tfw no game will let me send hordes of suicide bombers
