Again with all my threads, this is not a troll thread, nor a flaming thread and i want anyone who comments to say something in keeping with the topic, or otherwise just keep the comment to themselves, thank you.
Also anything in blue is my opinion and is optional to read.
Now without jumping into the "I Hate America" thing (which i don't to much, i don't like the self righteous americans on the PSN or Xbox live but meh, that doesn't count, the English are as bad at times) im not keen on America (to urban i think for me, but England isn't much better either) its a combination of the people and the way of life, not my thing.
Now just about everyone can talk about "The Protagonist Being American" till the eyes bleed (which of course i don't agree with, why can't we be a Greek, English, German or anything like that?) but that isn't the point of this thread at all, its the fact the story and location is ALWAYS in America: Prototype, InFamous, Fallout 3 and so on, hell even films do this: Matrix, Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and so on again. And personally it frustrates me, because then you know the main character is going to be american, like one thing I'll use as an example, its an Independence Day scene, where "the smartest man in the world" is sitting on a table, and he is funnily enough American. (At this point it sounds like im flaming or trying to insult Americans, this is not the case).
Now I'll aim this at the american readers, do you think that an american is going to be the smartest man in the world? What ever your answer, understand this, possibly the smartest man that ever lived was German, but most used inventions today are either Scottish, British, or European (Do keep in mind that im not so keen on Britain either) Telephone - Scottish, Jet Plane - British, Fridge - German (This is the development ideas, not the development itself), and to be completely fair Americans haven't built anything life changing, so with that in mind, i would imagine a Japanese man or woman sitting on the chair being called "the smartest in the word". (That was a rant to give the idea of the protagonists american nature, so now with that out the way, i can hit the real topic)
So why is it always set in America? why would say, aliens or biological weapons always go to America? I liked where Resistance was going (Aside from your american and all the British are wusses, aside from Cartwright) Chimera needed the footing, Russia, then Europe, and Britain could have given them complete dominance over most of the world, giving America no foreign help what so ever, leaving it wide open to attack, but they failed taking over Britain...And then: the Chimera attacked America with a armada of airbases and such, with evolved Chimera.(which put me so far off Resistance i didn't buy the second) instead of just taking over England with all that tech they were storing (Which would be hilarious to watch actually).
Now your side of the coin, what do you think with all stories being set in america?
(Im still holding onto Infinity Ward to showing the SAS's dealing with things, then go on a generic WWII game where i kill Hitler, when he has turned into a cyborg with miniguns for arms and nuclear warheads for legs, before you shoot him in the back while he is busy stomping on kittens and puppies)
