Preferably fantasy ones but even historical games are ok. Video games should really take more inspiration from cultures outside of USA and Europe seeing how many potential they have. It feels like a lot of fantasy games are set mostly in European-type places with cultures like Egyptian, Persian, Arabic, Aztec or Hindu Which I don't think I ever saw a video game off having only a few games with some having none. And that's a real fucking shame, because there is a lot of cool stuff to get inspired by in those cultures. I dont think I ever saw a game exploring Arabic obsession with words and poetry, or the Aztec Lovecraft-tier religion, or even India's extremelly overblown mythology. The only cultures that actually are mostly well covered from non-European ones seem to be far eastern cultures like Japan and China but that's because Japan knows how to make vidya about themselves and the cultures of far east are very popular in Europe and USA if even because of the rise of animu We seem to be staying mostly with our known legends, mythologies and locations never really paying attentions to other motifs we could be using from other culture. Although there is nothing wrong with using your own culture as basis of vidya, doing only that can get a bit stale.
So let's talk about vidya that includes elements from non-European cultures Far East counts as well
>Rise of Legends
A pretty cool RTS which includes a technologically advanced Aztec faction which worships ayys as their Gods as well as a magic-focused Arabic faction next to an European-inspired Da Vinci/Steampunk faction.
>Prince of Persia
Nuff said
>Pharaoh
Basically Sim City with an Egyptian skin
Besides that, Forgotten Realms actually doesn't do a bad job of taking inspirations from different cultures especially with their monsters but most of the games I know of are set in European-style countries.

Hey even niggers can have something to give in terms of culture for the very simple reason that thanks to them we know exactly how to portray savage hordes in our fantasy races. Besides, some of their mythology and tribal culture is perfect fit for horror, Lovecraft works and Scratches both made use of this.

Is this the case of them just using that and making it overblown or is it the case of them taking some random tribes in Africa and putting them as more important than they actually are?

You know this is a moot point seeing that people who were also very enthusiastic about other cultures were also the great white poets of romanticism and seeing that from the beginnign of history, our culture was getting inspired by non-european cultures. i.e, the numbers that we have as well as the modern ideas of grammar like verbs, adjectives etc come from India. Besides, gamesjournos do not actually respect any culture, they are a bunch of niggers that want to create a globalist culture that has no identity of it's own by forcing in elements that do not belong in certain settings for the sake of "diversity" it is different from actually being interested in different culture. Also, just look at the fact that they push forward the idea of "cultural appropriation", which shows that they do not actually want other cultures to develop amongst ours, but t destroy all cultures by cutting their way of growth.
>Furthermore very few games are authentic European, most being fauxEuropean. You won't find many games inspired by genuine European culture or history on the market at all.
Fair point allthough I would say that this is just the case of many games getting inspired by European culture and not trying to copy it directly. At least that was the case a few years back, but now obviously it is a bit different due to the rampant leftist propaganda

I'm guessing not because this seems like it won't be a very fun thread
Anyways,there's nothing I can really think of unfortunately, it feels like everything either isn't focused on any particular culture, or is European, American (Which while its not the same as European cultures is still based heavily in it), or Japanese.
I can't exactly blame them anyways, learning about shit such as African, Middle-Eastern, South American, Chinese or Indian cultures where there is so much savagery and less unique culture, its not much surprising to me.
Maybe if we're talking from really ancient times, like mesopotamia-tier or babylon or something
One of the few things I can think of is the AoE 2 campaign with the Aztecs.

No it doesn't. The controls are shit for the kind of game it tries to be. Half the time you're trying to press a button to do something else, you're either running a recovery animation that prevents you from doing anything else or you're on some kind of invisible cooldown with no feedback of when it ends. Not to mention that enemy attack patterns are ridiculously stupid at times where the fight is basically: slash, dash away, wait for enemy's vulnerability frame, slash, repeat. The game is generally good, but it's VERY rough around the edges.
Polite sage for off-topic.

Nigger, what the fuck are you talking about?

And you must be a stupid fucking nigger if you don't think that having an arabic-playable faction is not getting inspired by a non-european culture.

I admit I might be partially wrong about that, I remember there being an arabic country in the past ruled by a nigger, with a poet shitting on him, but he might not have been ruling a caliphate. I do not remember whether he was a Caliph or Sultan or had some other title. I'm trying to find out right now and when I find the proof then I will post it.

Okay, I'm sorry for causing some missinformation, the person I was talking about was neither a sultan nor a calif, I got confused because he was called the "de facto" ruler of Egypt though he had no such official title. He was a vizier, and his name was "Abu al-Misk Kafur", and the poet who shat on him was "Al-Mutanabbi". I admit I was partially wrong about that, I eat shit.
