Down Under

[Bealzibob]

Because everything military & Australian is shit.

Thats no true, I think the kokoda track could be made into a decent game, it's already got a movie which means by american standards it deserves a game.

But I would like to see anything I generally dislike get a move down under. Imagine Twilight down under, after bella runs off in a hormone drive hissy fit, she runs into the forest (Read: Bush) then meets a werewolf (Read: Be bitten by a snake, stumble dillusionally onto several spiders who also bite her) then runs away in fright and falls over clumsyly (Read: Falls off a bank, skewers herself on a mangrove root and as she stands up gets wiped out by a croc and dies in a death roll).

Brillant if I say so my self.

I don't know, have there been any first person shooters in Australia? Seriously, all the games I've ever played have been in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Actually, why isn't there a game where you play as a member of the SASR?

[sub] I'd love to so you're avatar set in Australia. [/sub].

well yes australia is a pretty great country, but when it comes to game releases, price of games and game selection in general it is f*ing woefull.

not to mention the lack of servers for online play for any console...

An accurate Australian episode would be one where everyone dies, because just about everything you touch over there is lethally toxic.

[sub]OK, maybe not everyone.[/sub]

umm.. sorry to mess up your researching skills but im pretty sure that the Kokoda trail is in Papua New Guinea... just thought i would let you know

Call of Duty: Warfare Down Under.
That'd be awesome, and the Aussies would send crocs, sharks and kangaroos at the enemies.

In war games, the Australian Navy beat the Americans. Also our SAS is pretty elite. Aswell as, we allow many countries to have miny bases for their armys in our desert.

Sure, but that's because you haven't thought of a better use for all the empty land yet!

Uh, what about an Assassin's Creed III: Down Under. You'd get to climb Uluru and ride around on a camel, then kill your target in a violent bar fight by throwing deadly spiders. That's all there is in Australia, right?

Sub battles. Australia has the worlds best subs.

What I want is an open world horror game in central Australia. It's fucking scary there. Would make an awesome Survival-Horror FPS type thing.
Alternatively, a zombie game set in Melbourne. You play as an indian uni student, and the zombies are all young anglo-saxon australian men [http://memegenerator.net/Aussie-kid/ImageMacro/1234148/Aussie-kid-BLOKE-MAKES-EYE-CONTACT-WITH-YOU-******-BASHING-TIME]. Objective is the survive the night.

And in central Australia you're a British back-packer being chased by South Australians.

I'm glad the australia fad is over. They over exagerate the stereotypical things and downplay the real dangers.
Halo: Down Under. Master Chef Shoots some stereotypical australian animal alien tihngs and the keels over dead because a redback slipped into his armour.
Super Mario Mate: Mario goes down the wrong pipe. Funnelweb.
Pokemon: Green and gold. Well... Pidgey. I don't choose you [http://tizona.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/australia-spider-bird.jpg?w=750&h=600].

But I can't talk. I went out and got one of those american-type girlfriends who's amazed I've survived as long as I have in this country. I have to leave by Thanksgiving

 

[Lizardon]

I'm not a big fan of when franchises do this. It makes me feel like I live in a gimmick country. I've never seen one that I liked.
Although Pokemon: Down Under could be entertaining...

I dunno, our SASR is pretty epic (it's a real shame "kickass" and especially "badass" don't work too well in an Aussie accent)

OT: I wince at Australian accents in anything that is originally not Australian. Even if they're originally Aussie, it sounds fake next to all the Americans. It took me so long to get used to Miranda in Mass Effect 2.

Also, it bugs me when other countries think 90% of us speak with Irwin-esque accents, even though it's almost the opposite, i.e. about 10% do. (And don't get me started on the "riding kangaroos to school" joke)

I've never even said g'day without it being a joke.

I'd love a survival game set in Australia, except all the stereotypes about the wildlife has been greatly exagerated.
There are blood-sucking koalas that drop on you from the trees, there are crocodiles in the lakes, great white sharks in the water, deadly snakes everywhere and you have to stop nuclear bombs going off in the middle of the desert!

Even the cuddly platypus will sting you full of poison - watch it.

A team fortress map called down under where its a death match sniper only killfest

4. Parliament House!!! (You can win the match by finding and killing Rudd!!!)

And then as a side Abott!
Australia gets jipped when it comes to games so anything set here we be ok I guess

 

[Pegghead]

I say they make a God of war style game in which you play a pissed off guy who's like a cross between Barry Mckenzie, Crocodile Dundee and Saxton Hale who fights with things like boomerangs who needs foster and meat pies to restore his anti-poofter levels and man health respectively. The reason he must fight his way from Dingo springs to Sydney you may ask, he's fed up with the metrosexuals (Or the "poofs"). Watch as he uses a variety of things like rugby balls and the flag of mother Australia to disable enemies from afar and dodge the hand lotion attacks respectively, moves like the stolen generation which entails him literally going back in time through channeling his sheer manliness and stealing the generation his enemies on that stage came from and the Don wallop which entails him smacking enemies heads off for six with a stuffed platypus. He'll face bosses like Micheal Atkinson and Kevin Rudd and will be assisted in parts of the game by Yahtzee (Whom he refers to as the cracker pom).

Oh yes and in true aussie style the game shall be rated NBP for "No bloody poofters", and at all times our hero shall be smoking a brick for he is a true man.

I think the zombie addition is not needed to make that scary

God yeah. I've been told the reason why our accent sounds weird is because people actually have to adjust it for foreign audiences. They slow it down and open their mouths more (according to a actor we know). The only non-Aussie Aussie accent I've heard that was actually really good, was done by an Irish exchange student I met at a pub.

The only people who say g'day are foreigners talking to australians.
But I guess I'm not helping, I try my best to be stereotypically aussie when in another country.
Calling everybody mate, throwing crikey's left right and centre.

Its pretty fun though. Sort of like convincing tourists that we keep pet kangaroos.
"What you haven't seen one yet? Just keep a closer eye out next time you pass by a park. They always have to be kept on a leash though."
Ah, the joys you can find with a bus load of American High School students.
