Well, they do speak with an American accent like everybody else, but whatever.
And many more games.
Latvia, where i come from, has been in like handful of games, and its enough. There was a whole level set in Latvia in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted scenes
. But then again, we arent a mayor country and no-one really knows where Latvia is without googling it.

Britain began declining after after Victoria and lost its top position after 1915. also while yes we may have been the third most powerful single nation but we werent all that powerful after WW2, our empire was collapsing, Soviets, America and Europe were growing strong while we were declining massively because we couldnt between the Empire, europe or America and tbh we are still choosing todayJakub324 said:
Look, even if your absurdly oversimplified notion of power was tenable, this isn't how taunting works. You're supposed to be witty about it, not just whine about whether or not the other guy's taunts were perfectly accurate.Jakub324 said:
You're also bad at quote tags. Text goes below the /quote.
There would be more video games that featured Britain if the majority of video game companies weren't based only in America and Japan. It's essentially the same reason that Mongolia or Portugal aren't featured in a lot of games. Start making more video games in your country and maybe things will change.
I'm not even saying that there aren't games that doesn't have British stuff in it. Like people have already said, Call of Duty, Fable, and WH40k games all feature a fair amount of Brits in it.

Fallout hull- experience the high-pressure tension as you FEED THE PIGEONS!Hawf Wit said:
The survival as you DRINK TEA!
And the heart-warming adventures as you COMPLAIN!
Fallout: Hull.
Out now.
It's probably because most games are made by countries which hate us and portray in shit light and people who try to do HILLARIOUS british accents. I belive it was Yahtzee's Killzone Review where he NAILS it on the head, so yea if you havent seen it i reccomend you do.
Great Britain/England is overpowered as hell in Medieval II: Total War and Napoleon: Total War.
>_<
In Medieval they have armor-piercing Longbows, which are the best missle units besides the French Scots Guard (Which you'll probably never get anyway :l), and in Napoleon they have the best riflemen and light infantry in the entire game. Tain't fair. ;_;

All I can say is Imperial Guard ftw; the fact they made them British in DoW2 just made them all the more awesome; it made them feel more to what I'd imagine the Imperial Guard to feel like. Lord Commissar is awesome, especially all his grumblings when ordered about.ChupathingyX said:
From memory, Killzone 1 wasn't too heavy on the British Nazis; most of them were just non-descript gasmask wearing goons with comm voices and I never felt that Scholar Visari sounded at all British. Their announcer in MP was pretty cool though, especially when he was counting down the time left. Of course since then its been BRITISH SPACE NAZIS FOR THE WIN!Sizzle Montyjing said:
Not really bothered tbh, ooo were not shown in some videogames, must mean we are inferior to the rest of the world (despite at one point owning more than half of it ) and yes before anyone mentions it I am typing this while enjoying a good ol' cuppa tea

Perhaps it's just the fact that i want to hang on to are old greatness that we once had, whereas we are inevitably slipping into decline and crumbling away into nothing like all the old empires?Norris IV said:Not really bothered tbh, ooo were not shown in some videogames, must mean we are inferior to the rest of the world (despite at one point owning more than half of it
Yeah, if Barry Island is in a game, it's going to involve a zombie apocalypse rather than a nuclear holocaust. Fallout: Hull I Can believe in!Hawf Wit said:
Just thought of another game from outside the UK with Welsh accents. The Witcher 2 uses Welsh accents for people from one of the kingdoms, including the major character Saskia.
The British are portrayed as bad guys in Black ops when the NOVA gas is tested on the russian soldiers you escape and the british come and attack you with sten SMGs. RULE BRITANNIA
RULE BRITANNIA
You should play Medievil 2. I think that's a pretty good representation of Britain!

All you have to do is play Henry Hatsworth And The Puzzling Adventure for DS. It may be a complete stereotype of us Brits, but it still shows us in a nice, posh, moustached light.Sizzle Montyjing said:
