Why are there so few games set in the middle east? I remember

Because it turned out invading Iraq was a huge mistake.

>>387434316
Why should that affect the games at all?

>>387434198
Over-saturation, political correctness or a bit of both perhaps.

>>387434198
Please give me your game idea for the middle east that isn't a call of duty shooter.

>>387434316
there has never been a post that legitimized neo-v more than this one. this is the true deathknell for this board

Shia vs sunni RTS

CK style strategy game where you have to work to topple despotic regimes and install stable ones that you can puppet.

>>387434425
The Jews run society, and therefore the Jews run games. If the Jews aren't happy with Bush's alt-right warmongering, gamers face the consequences.

>>387434850
George Bush was not alt-right. You shouldn't use prefixes just to make your words look bigger.

>>387434480
a stealth game where you have to defect from IS, as the game continues the regime collapses and you have to evade IS as well as air strikes, kurds, and the syrian military groups

Are you kidding? Egypt and Arabia are the go to inspirations for the desert trope in Vidya.
Egypt has been overdone by Mario alone.

>>387435315
well what about persia then?
I thought most 2000s military games were set in iraq and afghanistan

>>387435396
Yeah not much of Persia outside of the obvious Prince of Persia.

>>387434850
>this entire post

>>387435480
which sucks because it seems like persia has a ton of history you could draw from

A DMC clone where you play as the son of the legendary Muhammad

>>387434623
RTS factions need to look different.

I just want a fucking Arabian Nights style fantasy game.

>>387434480
Starts out a grim and gritty military shooter. You play as the son of Iraqi immigrants who fled to America in the late 80s when you were born. You joined the US military to fight the radical menace plaguing your ancestral homeland, but now you're stationed in the middle of Nowhereistan in a shanty town huddled close to some hills with ruins.

Not-ISIS are headed this way to destroy the ruins, occupy the village, 'cleanse' and 'recruit'. So, you lie in wait for not-ISIS in the ruins, ready to catch them unawares, especially since there's a big storm rolling in over the hills. A battle ensues with the zealot forces, big ooh-rahs all around, radical boys either killed or taken prisoner. As the prisoners are taken down to the town below, you notice all the locals are shut up indoors. The market is empty. The place is completely and utterly silent. There's a colossal storm just over the horizon.

That's when you get a call on your radio from the guys back at the ruins. There's people in the ruins, and it's not enemy insurgents.

Then it becomes a horror game.

bored me at first, but the payoff was worth it.
I'd fund it on kikestarter

>>387434558
Well in fairness, the power vacuum that followed the fall of Sadam really made the country in worse condition.

>right wing historical revisionism isn't neo-/v/
This is what /pol/ cancers actually believe

>>387435639
Persians are white so its fine.

>>387434558
/v/ was anti-Bush prior to the /pol/ invasion. To claim the inverse is some serious war with Eurasia shit.

>>387437853
Pretty sure /pol/ also hate Bush.

Becasu they would be just sandy and smelly and full

>>387436771
Horror war games are underrated. You can set them everywhere and everytime maybe with local legends and monsters.
Honestly i would play that.

lets discuss video games

>>387434198
Same reason the generic not-quite-Tolkien fantasy setting has fallen out of vogue, it became so overdone that people wanted new setpieces other than sand and more sand.

I've had the idea in my head for a long time, I wish I had the resources and know-how to make it. You'd quickly discover your guns were completely useless against whatever the threat is (probably Djinn or some other nameless pagan horror) and you had to rely on old folk things to defend yourself. All your soldier man background is good for now is running away. You could throw an iron pot or a Koran or something on the ground before to stop it in its tracks, that kind of thing. You'd have try and survive the huge storm coming in that cuts off communication (maybe supernaturally), and I imagine you end up taking shelter after a desperate escape in the old ruins, which of course is the source of the threat. The gun battle in there earlier on wakes up whatever's slumbering deep in the hills.
