XXL 2 Operation Las Vegum is genuinely the best parody game ever created. I'd say it even surpasses Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden and Sexy Parodious. Not really in terms of gameplay as much as gaming mockery and referential shit.

Do you literally just have to copy paste this somewhere in your mission statement to get into the indie scene? I played White Knight. You want to know how much diversity it has? It's Scratches - Afrikangz Artifacts + 2 Ghost ladies
If the SJWs actually played games they would kvetch hard over the ghost ladies. One of them is the ghost of the mansion owner and you can dig up documents everywhere of her family talking about how she's an abusive alcoholic bitch, and the other is the ghost of some beautiful singer who was actually some girl you murdered because you where the serial killer hinted in all the newspapers all along and at the end of the game you figure out her corpse is in the trunk of your car. The games story is honestly kinda retarded to. You have the modestly sized mansion in the middle of nowhere, which has lore out the ass which is great, but then you figure out there's a gigantic secret underground lab which was your serial killer lair all the long, full of tomb-raider style moving puzzles and shit.
Basically those devs are probably lying or SJWs are just massive hypocrites.

The series isn't obnoxious about it. Read some of the comics. Even that later Uderzo-only one that's literally about feminism being introduced to their village isn't too bad, because the ending is the female roman soldiers attack the village, but stop because of all the stalls full of girly things like handbags, and return to Rome as regular women. The village itself returns to how it was before too. Generally I don't remember it being all that positive on the concept. The later Uderzo-only ones are weak for different reasons.

You have to heavily stereotype a culture when depicting it, especially in a cartoon. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be depicting another culture at all. If you didn't stereotype the culture, you'd have no reason to even depict them as being from another culture. Stereotyping is positive when it comes to building international cultural understanding: because it's seen as a negative by self-righteous simpletons nowadays, we edge closer and closer to an international, unbiased, unprejudiced cultural genocide.

The general consensus is that the games are okay. Biggest problem in all of the games barring maybe the beat em up and the RISK based one is that they're incredibly grindy since the whole premise of A&O is that they're basically immortal Jewish-Celtic demigods.
>>15800558
> the whole premise of the comic and the movies is that a bunch of gaulic savages are meeting other cultures and exchanging and learning from each other iirc.
The whole premise of the books was anti-nazi sentiment, except they replaced Nazis with Romans, every single region occupied by them has at least one village of freedom fighters and there's a strong case against Romanization. Though you'd be forgiven for not realizing that, given that (((Uderzo))) wrote really funny nigger and Jewish stereotypes in it and made Julius Caesar a respectful enemy who would keep his word.
Also Goscinny really hates Japs and feels their influence is what's killing Western art. He also can't recognize the difference between hentai doujins, shonen jump's occasional pantsu and seinen manga.

Source on that? And you probably meant Uderzo the artists, Goscinny was the writer who died several years before.
Because I definitely blame more the current state of art education (learning how to draw/paint is kosher in public schools, post-modernist crap, etc) for killing western art than a bunch of jap artists. Drawings from jap artists look like high art compared to to the average or even most of the "best" western artists these days
That sentiment might also be because nowadays mangas make up more sales in France than actual franco-belgian comics, not helped by how overly uninteresting and expensive the latter is.

Franco-belgian comics are absurdly expensive tho. Kids and old classic comics are priced at 11 eurobucks minimum when shit used to cost 25-30 francs at worst before the shift to euro monetary value, so basically more than twice the price now, 15 euros minimum for the ones aimed to teens/young adults, and "adult" comics (which is nothing more than """political""" crap) are priced even more. Books are forbidden to be sold in France at more than a 5% discount sale since the 80s, so prices never go down.
There is also my low trust towards current western artists in general like with modern western vidya too, save for a few exceptions, and I've seen a fair share of recent pozzed franco-belgian comics enough to make me drop the current scene and only keep the classics.

There is a massive comic festival held every year (since the mid-70s) in southwestern France, which is known worldwide as artists from North America and Asia get invited there alongside with foreign publishing agencies.

Quite the contrary, actually… the heroes of the comic were generally RESISTING the influence of the outside world. Both "The Mansions of the Gods" and "Obelix and Co" have the Romans attempt to score a cultural victory, and the Gauls ultimately rejecting it and returning back to their native ways (though in the case of the latter, that was more to do with market forces than the Gauls' efforts).
And while they did visit a bunch of different countries, and encountered parodies of those countries' inhabitants and customs - and Obelix did have a funny habit of immediately soaking up the local culture - they didn't usually have an appreciable affect on the village after they went home. They made friends with other countries, but their cultures remained distinct.
As others have observed, Asterix was created as a thinly-veiled parody of the German occupation, but doesn't come across so much "anti-nazi" as "pro-French". And even then, it didn't exactly glorify the French people; the core message was "We're a bunch of cheeky, rude bastards who like to drink and argue, and we'll fight anyone who tries to change us."
The French people really could use a bit more of that nowadays.

I don't know what comic you read but the one I read wasn't politically correct.
- All nations were different instead of having a whole world of brown. They were all meant to stay differwnt instead of going the melting pot way.
- Filled with jew steretypes (greedy big nosed hand-rubbing villains).
- Solved most problems with violence.
- Fiercely independent, didn't care about what the rest of the world thought. Probably not pro-EU.
- Believed in the power of individualism over collectivism. People in need shouldn't be helped by giving them eternal support, but instead they should be taught how to suppor5 themselves.

There's only like one Jew in the series from memory and it's that guy. Also the best "diversity" case is one of the earliest books where the two mains join the Roman Legion, and the other recruits are a Greek, a Briton, a Belgian, a Goth, and an Egyptian. The last two necessitate a translator being with them, and the interactions between them and their Centurion are fantastic. They're all walking stereotypes as well with the best bit being the part where they get the army "food" which is some mixture of eggs bacon cheese cooked together or something, and they all revolt, except for the Brit.

Since you mention this scene from Asterix The Legionary, in the film adaption Asterix Versus Caesar that also incorporates Asterix The Gladiator the slave trader in Rome in the german version is acted as a jew (by the actor that also voice actors Krusty the Clowns father and all stereotypical jews of that time) as are almost all phoenician traders (beeing northwestern semites they are also drawn that way) and in the french version acted as 'vaguely arab/jewish' traders, and while in both the german and french version he is called fafelus/phaphelus/farfelus (how ever it is written and if the pun is about him being a scatterbrain or beeing eccentric or a decadent jew) the american version makes him into a Hassan bel Wuash (or something or other) so an Arab, but without any distinctive voice actor quality.

You're right. I pretty much only can stand the older Franco-belge. I lived in France for several years, and besides Asterix and Tintin, most of the comics I actually ended up purchasing were manga. I read plenty, but the modern ones just weren't any good. You are spot on about American comics in general, although Carl Barks and Don Rosa are fine.

Interesting. Because the Phoenecian traders get depicted as pretty hand-rubbing too in Asterix In Britain. Also feminism. Expect to feel at least some revulsion to parts, but in the end the walking sterotype feminist ends up being a lot more chill, while the village, in typical fashion, returns to normal.
Also always amuses me that they have the blackface, especially with that recurring pirate character.

Very true. I am Dutch, and here Belgian comics were really huge, and still are somewhat popular. We have a FUCKTON of classic comics, including but not exhaustive:
> Lucky Luke
> Boule et Bill
> Gaston
> Bob et Bobette
> Spirou and Fantasio
> Asterix and Obelix
> Tintin
Those comics are so incredible, we always took them on vacations to read and amuse little us.
A few threads ago I posted a few frames about one of these series that had the daughter of the main character dating a refugee I think, I had a look at the comic a few weeks ago and god damn is it bad.

I actually used to own most of the entire collection physically but lost it (not enough space, family got rid of it) and want it pirated digitally for the convenience.
That and the uncensored early Tintin volumes and most eurocomics if possible.

besides, spirou had so many artists working it + spinoffs, "out of character" hardly means anything. after that fucking 50th album it went out of the window completely anyway, and that shit was officially canon. yes I'm still salty about that.
it's just funny stories with a well liked character, not hard hitting thought provoking comic art (not everything is sex gags, and even some of them are actually quite good). might have gone to shit later tho, stopped at 8.

Are the little one and the adult one supposed to be one of the same? There's a strip with a gypsy fortune teller that heavily implies it but I seem to remember that in the cover the authors are ambiguous on purpose.

Herge (Tintin author) made a point of asking in his will that no further stories featuring Tintin be made after his death, in part because of how dismayed he was at the fall to disgrace some stories (Spirou included after the first 20 volumes) had after their authors passed it over. The dip in quality he was outraged about was noticeable, but still masterpieces compared to the shit from recent years.

For me, Spirou isn't worth reading post-Franquin, so I guess by "out of character I mean" different from that era. I know it's not 100% sex gags, but most are. /ss/ may be fine, but not in something obviously targeted at children. plus he's friends with a nigger

There was a language-learning CD game bundled with some early Win95 PCs, based on "Asterix & Son":
>The full book is cut into single panels, with blank speech bubbles
>Choosing one of the five (or six?) languages gives you a seamless text overlay, in the authentic font
>But there's also a separate language option for 'audio'
>The book is fully narrated and voice-acted in each language
>At the end, a voice-acted Vitalstatistix presents a quiz about the book's events
>Once you can do the quiz in your native language, you're encouraged to change the text or audio to a different language and try again
Shit's impossible to find online, unfortunately.

Actually had a re-visit of Asterix & Obelix. Remembered why I hated that third Egypt stage, which had some tricky jumps to perform. Only thing weird is that I'm pretty sure the bullfight only requires it crash into the wall a single time on easy, and it's only on harder difficulties that it takes more. I am about to man up and try the SNES version on hard now since easy really is and I ended with 25 spare lives.
