im not writing them off, and i own more Indie games than i do AAA.

My point was that in order to make joe Average pick up the game they have alot of work going for them. The average American or Canadian shy away from games from native Americans or Indigenous Peoples, most because they feel bad for taking the lands for…

the i would like to see that game part didnt translate well over the internet as sarcasm.

If you can make a journey to the kitchen a suspenseful, dramatic experience, then i would revoke me previous statement

Its not Alaskan heritage, its indigenous heritage. subtle i know but it means a bit. and i stated in my post…

Read their creation myth. its short and sweet. it could be a 5 minute movie, not a couple hour game

Most small cultures dont have the soaring myths other large cultures have. this is no Minotaur in a labyrinth, no clash of gods and ice giants, nothing really big or detailed enough to make a good story game. Maybe a…

i thought number 1 was clever myself :)

Id like to see that game, and my point was they would need to work hard to make the average guy pick up the game

that is literally history. War and Politics. Humans are by nature greedy and violent. it why we have war heroes and political heroes, and you cant name a public hero without looking it up on Google first.

if thats the only problem you find, i must be doing well

1) you have already lost the argument when you attack the person. its okay i understand, i wont belittle you.

2) you missed my point. the average gamer wont spend 15 bucks on this over Limbo 2. they need to work hard to sell the game.

yea except in AC3 the character was bland and we spent a grand total of 15 minutes with the Indians. i know no more about native american culture after that game than i did before i started.

Ficticous to whom? To me anything not the Big Bang is fictitious in the extreme.

Inuit Creation myth is essentially a raven created the earth, accidentally created Man, then sculpted Women to serve him as well as be a companion, with all other animals meant to serve him. Remarkably similar to Christian Myth in that…

then they should be worried about preserving that information in Libraries or some such. Oral history has always been volatile during war.

And yes, a game like that could be interesting. learning the Inuit lessons as we fight a war we will eventually lose. but they want to do some sort of Limbo game.

If i may ask, which cultures and which games? because i have hear of none of them.

1) Native Americans exist in the lower 48 not in Canada and Alaska. they see it as accepting that there home is now America, which was not their name for it. they prefer Indigenous Peoples.

2) my point was they need to work really hard to make the average person spend 15 bucks on their game over Limbo 2 or w/e.

And when it comes out and no one buys it? a potentially good studio with interesting ideas dies.

My point was they would need to work super hard to make me and the average person want to ACTUALLY spend money on this game, not just say we will.

If they made a game like Dear Esther, that invloved simple Exploration and a laid back theme then i could get behind that, assuming it was on Steam

Because there are other medians to learn about the nonsignificant ones. Books, Movies, the History channel. why would i want to play Migrating and Hunting the game when i could play Rome conquering the Gauls? Or Greece defying the Persians?

like i said im sure they do. my point is that they have a huge challenge to overcome.

lets be completely honest. assuming you know nothing between two games, lets say they are called " A Day In Rome" and "Life of the Inuit", and i mean nothing, which would you pickup? the average person would think of a huge city and…

" a commercial "cinematic platform" game and a digital history curriculum modeled after Historia, a series of tabletop games developed by a pair of Texas middle-school teachers."

Ive never heard of historia, but they also said they wanted to makes games like journey and Limbo. they will need to work hard to make the…

that would be amazing. i actually liked that movie for how simple it was

Going to be 100% honest, so i will probably be flamed

There culture was neither powerful enough, nor did have enough of an impact on modern life, for me to play what is essentially a history game. They may think it is, but its not.

Now if they make it a game about some kid fighting to save his land from american…

TBH the War Z is closer to dead island than it is Day Z IMO.
