There must be something with Japanese fascination with American culture that leads to games like Metal Wolf Chaos or Metal Gear Solid...because some of the most "American" games come straight out of Japan...and they are just wild

But Metal Wolf Chaos beats them all and the funniest part is it shows America in decline dealing with the effects of a fracturing in society...and it takes place only a few years from our current date! It's like the developers KNEW what we had coming...perhaps

and the best part is From Software developed it so its basically Armored Core with way more over the top WWE style patriotism running throughout the entire game....and also a metric crap ton of mechs.

But seriously...nothing is better for gaming on this date than Metal Wolf Chaos...but that got me thinking GAF. What other games just scream in eagle "America" over and over again

I'd say Bioshock...for all the right and wrong reasons!

 

[Spaceman292]

I really hope the next Persona game is set in America

 

[Fabieter]

I really hope the next Persona game is set in America

[NeverYouMind]

Grand Theft Auto comes to mind.

Yea hopefully we can see something in Asia one day. Rockstar made gta in Hong-Kong would be awesome.

 

[Hudo]

Oh right, you guys have some holiday coming up, right? Happy holiday for you!

So, you want a parody of Sleeping Dogs?

 

[Fabieter]

So, you want a parody of Sleeping Dogs?

Well I dont care as long as we get a new setting.

 

[Spaceman292]

Why?

Bunch of attractive teens need to stop demons from committing school shootings

I'd like a Dynasty Warriors spinoff called Freedom Warriors where you play the founding fathers, destroying King George's army.

Liberty or Death by Koei. I remember this on MS-DS but it was ported SEGA & Nintendo 3rd gen consoles and I believe Koei even pushed certain ports into the 4th gen too.

Maybe not as exciting as those in OP

Close to New Hampshire's state motto! "Live Free or Die!"

 

[Happosai]

Koei was certainly allowing it to get ported enough. Had like a 7-year run. But, these were in a large stack of floppies I had for my old Packard Bell back in the day. On a console...these aren't quite the same. Nothing ground breaking but designed by Stieg Hedlund. The actual production by Koei was all in Japan. So, not an entire Japanese concept like OP but they had a large role in producing this too.

Close to New Hampshire's state motto! "Live Free or Die!"

Sounds like it but it's from Patrick Henry's line/book, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

My fellow Americans; this day we remember the fights our forefathers fought. We remember the dreams they left behind. We give thanks for their sacrifice with big n’ flashy ‘splosions!

So on this most excellent and colorful of days, with your flag billowing in the wind, remind yourself of this:

Don’t be the America that Americans believe themselves to be; be the America that Japan believes Americans are!

Happy 4th everybody!

Just gonna drop this gem here…

10-4 good buddy!

Every good American should know to keep their hands free and their bladders full.

They need to have way, way more guns as weapons. Also, one of the social activities is abstinence Club.

Rather them do an older cast first. But… ya know…. An American spin on one would be fascinating

A team of lowly Japanese office workers would be fun too. Maybe trapped inside the office like some sort of Tartarus, never allowed to leave just like in real Japanese offices.

Honestly, I'd be down with that.

I’d have taken university, but this totally! Talk about most of the themes of persona translating even better in this type of senario

 

[Krathoon]

Do they have Metal Wolf Chaos on steam?

 

[Alexios]

Cooler mechs and a harem to yourself so this game wins, obviously.

 

[Krathoon]

Yes. A remastered version is on Steam. Good old Devolver Digital.

Anyone have a list of classic Devolver games?

 

[Krathoon]

There is also Freedom Force. A superhero RPG. gog might have it.

Here it is:

Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich

When Nuclear Winter returns with a plot to destroy Freedom Force and the free world, gami

Happy 4th of July to my American friends.

No please no...

Broforce. Highly recommend it with 3 other friends. Super fun.

Forever, I say.

Thanks OP I just bought this after finding on sale right now. I only wish that instead of rated T FOR TEEN it was rated A FOR AMERICANS ONLY. Happy fourth, suck it commies!!

As for what other games scream Amurica... I recently played Earth Defense Force 5 on psn and it was hilarious. The motivation of the troops against aliens, with their random yelling and slogans, just pure japanese americana.

Bioshock is more like a critique of Americana though, it uses our culture to make a statement. Not sure I'm a huge fan of Ken Levine!

“Rated A for Americans”

Fortunately for you the pre manga already

Thats right father George punches tigers in the face

The conduit 2s ending was super awesome too

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

I always felt like Dead Rising had that American feeling to it.

Persona is forever Japanese.
Forever, I say.

So we thought Yakuza was too.

And of course masterchief Lincoln

I guess the entire Wolfenstein franchise should get credit too for being very pro US (and also a great franchise)

Just for fun, here's what ChatGPT evaluates George Washington to on a 100 point scale in the shoes of a military historian advising a video game:

 

[Drizzlehell]

But I already watched Independence Day last night. I don't wanna overdo it.

 

[_Ex_]

It's a great game. I beat the PS4 version not too long ago.

Spoiler: These were my thoughts

 

[Happosai]

Just for fun, here's what ChatGPT evaluates George Washington to on a 100 point scale in the shoes of a military historian advising a video game:

Almost like this set Washington up for a sequel tactical RPG. So, he'll probably not be the front runner given that 75 on Tactics. ChatCPT could likely rewrite many things for these older DOS games.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting (fka Happy Video Game Nerd) had another great video on Metal Wolf Chaos:


I also love seeing Japan's portrayals of the USA in gaming, especially in the Metal Gear Solid series (that's my answer for favorite portrayal).
