Fallout, Wasteland, The Elder Scrolls.
Also smaller games come to my mind, like Child of Light or South Park: The Stick Of Truth which are made by Ubisoft Montreal.

Yeah, "western RPGs" from a couple decades ago were mostly made in the US. Then Bethesda bought interplay and it all went to shit.

And thanks for reminding me of Child of Light, I've had it in my library for ages, installing it to my steam deck right now :)

You're never gonna believe this friend, but Montreal is actually in Canada.

Still not Europe or Asia, innit?

[–] echodot 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh yes the three continents. Europe Asia and everywhere else.

Ah Canada famously not in the same continent as the United States. Absolutely not in the Americas

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Never in my life have I seen someone say "Americans" and mean "People from the continent of America."

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

South American banger RPG when?

[–] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Well, it would be a bit unfair to talk about "European" games and "Asian" games, and on the other side "USA-made" games.
There are three countries in North America, we should at least include the two others.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Would be nice to include S. America as well, since at least some areas consider that part of the same continent as N. America (not sure why though, esp. when those same people claim Europe is separate from Asia...).

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

North America*. Besides that, people often group Canadians and Americans together quite often. The two countries are very similar culturally. I have seen it become more and more common to say North Americans when talking about things culturally. When it comes to politics or the specific country itself, of course it makes sense to separate them.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Yup, Canada is our hat, and we're Canada's pants. Not sure why we're not wearing a shirt though...

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Fun fact Canada is in North America

[–] proceduralnightshade@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Stick of truth was developed by Obsidian

[–] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You're right it was only published by Ubi. The Fractured but Whole was developed by Ubisoft*

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

well... fallout, wasteland.

pillars of eternity? I don't know if americans made it, but it was pretty intensely american.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Fallout and TES are "alright" at most, and extremely boring theme parks at worst
