Nothing more American than lawsuits.

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing American about wokeness. It should be AlloCisHet Male Attorney, but you're not allowed to say that anymore.

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Phoenix Wright: Solo Poly Attorney

[–] Elysia@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

And death penalties given out on vibes

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Of course. I haven't played those games because I'm not as up to date on my turn based RPGs

[–] ComRed@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

The game starts with being infected by the woke mind virus and you need to stop yourself from turning into a liberal

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Payday was made by Europeans but it's hilarious how cops just shoot civilians. Shame the company turned out so scummy. They did get rid of one of their execs who embezzled a bunch of money. I think that guy is still in prison.

I like how if a cop oblitrrates a hostage or a civ in payday 2 the gang gets blamed for it

homefront: the revolution was neat. bold game design choice to have you play as the villains.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Homefront: The Revolution is an Underrated Gem that is Worth Playing In 2026 because it's based on the terrifying premise of what if The US experienced 1% of what they do overseas everyday. Truly a Modern Masterpiece in Survival Horror.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The first Homefront has a scene where you press F to hide in a mass grave at a White Castle parking lot, truly American.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i'm not certain that this isn't a joke and that's a wonderful feeling

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got it wrong, the ”press E to jump in a mass grave” scene isn't at a White Castle. You do have a firefight at a White Castle though, so it's still very American. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z-kTBvfO1Pk

The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray.

inshallah

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

isn't it that one where North Korea invades America?

[–] decaptcha@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Don't forget the cerebral contemplation on US imperial power that is Katamari Damacy

Minecraft, but the only way to regenerate health is the American healthcare system

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would you rather the hunger system they added for 1.0 or American Healthcare? I know which one I'd pick

You know damn well it's going to have both, but having a full hunger bar doesn't heal you

[–] IsThisLoss@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

4/10 apply yourself

Assassin's Creed III

This was made primarily by Ubisoft Montreal.

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s the joke, isn’t it? None of the games on the list were made in the USA.

[–] Muinteoir_Saoirse@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was just picking AC3 out to make a joke about Canada being a US state, but thank you for assuming I didn't understand the original post at all.

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Yes I did see your joke, thank you. Just out of curiosity: Why make the joke about AC3 and not one of the other made in Canada games about the US? Again, this is not meant as an insult or a malicious assumption or whatever, I’m just genuinely curious.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

A game About America by the funny talking members of the 51st state? Sounds pretty American to me

This is proof that Canada is just a US state, thank you for bringing this essential bit of gaming history to light

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Earthworm jim but he's the antagonist taking over leaders minds

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

And from what I understand the creator of Earthworm Jim is a True Patriot who reflects True American Values

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

earworm jim and he's really catchy

[–] mrfugu@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago
[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How many of these were made in the past 5 years?

Also I can't believe you forgot elden ring

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

My point exactly, the American Games Industry is dying. The most recent one on here is Cyberpunk, it just came out. And it was such a buggy mess they had to take it off playstation

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Max Payne 1 and 2 remake coming using the AW2/control engine and i'mfuckin puuuuuuuuumped plus Control 2 holy shit

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

I'd be pretty pumped for updated Max Payne. Although I do like the old school mouse keyboard controls, I think a modernisation will help it find new love
