I am really sorry, but i really couldn't come up with a better topic name for this one.
So i was thinking about the game my country produced and i noticed quite some patterns. The basice question of this thread is: What's yours? What kind of games does your country produce? Do you see a pattern? Do you like it?
I think, sadly, since their pretty much the standart i will have to exclude Americans obviously, i hope you don't mind.
So i will start with my county: Germany.
We Germans, in my opinion, tend to focus more heavily on certain aspects of a game. This results in games being very strong in certain aspects, but sometimes having big issues in others. Also we tend to like more complex games.
Both points often result in games that most players either love or hate. For example games like Anno do economy better than any other strategy game, but are very much lacking in military aspecty, which puts a lot of people of.
Another example are piranha bytes games. Their games tend to have issues, exspecially in animation quality, but i have yet to find any game that does exploration as good as piranha bytes games. While often a grindy and boring aspect of many games to me, i enjoy it quite a bit in piranha bytes games, like risen, mostly because there's something to find everywhere. It might not be much, but you will always feel like it has been worth it.
