Britain in videogames

[Gameslayer_93]

Precisely.
I only feel it more on britain because i'm british.
But it annoys me that there is America, Japan and then 'the rest'
We all need individual identities as a country, which is why it annoys me when i say i'm from britain and people go 'Oh, you mean europe?'

how do you think us scots feel when we're lumped in as "english" (happens more than you think)
OT: tbh ive never felt that we're portrayed badly, sure we're not portrayed often but it doesnt really bothered me much

There's the character played by Polly Walker in Dark Void. Yes I am actually using Dark Void.

I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, GetCent.com

Off the top of my head, C&C Red Alert 3 had the 'Allies' which consisted of American and English soldiers, and without any inside conflict between the 2.

except that half the allied campaign centered around the US president going mad and the British forces having to stop him

Wait, isn't Amy Pond from Doctor Who Scottish?

i meant more that whenever we go to america, far too often we say we're scottish and the response has been "whereabouts in england is that then" ¬_¬, but ye she is Scottish, and so was David Tennant but he had to dial down his accent

Jorge is south African.

Really? Huh, he has pretty much the same accent as us Brits.

What accent is that? The London accent? Or are you talking about a Scouser accent? Perhaps Geordie? Aberdonian? Glaswegian? Cardiff? No wait, Sorry. Britain only has one overall accent, right?

Yep. The Brit accents all sound very different to people like us, who live in Britland, but they all sound "british". I guess if I was forced to clarify, it would be the stereotypical version of the British accent.

I think the use of the SAS in Modern Warfare was pretty cool. In fairness I can't think of any games where we're portrayed badly, we show up well in all the ones I've played with main characters that are British. All, what, four of them?

What i hate is the lack of Britain in WW2 games. I would love a flying mission in a spitfire.

We do get delayed release dates, but you just have to enjoy the things we get first like No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise, The ICO collection and the DS Lite.

Plus we always suck in games, I can't think of one character I liked who was british.

I've wanted Grand Theft Auto Uttoxeter for so long. It's the perfect setting for a "mini" GTA, with a nice variety of terrain and roads as well as plenty of fresh ground for the franchise as far as content is concerned.
