I tried using these, but I couldn't really find anything.
Did you try fanfiction.net?

...I just had to look up what Jingoism is.

I swear to god, people find new ways to disappoint me every other day.

A Japanese developer took the time to research American culture, history and literature? The absolute nerve of some people. There's no way something like that would actually happen.

And just LOOK at all those horrible stereotypes. What a disgrace, we would never stoup so low!

Wait, Americans got upset at a piece of fiction from a foreign country, that didn't dunk on them for once? You know since it portrayed all positive aspects of American cultural up to eleven. Seriously why would Americans be upset about a piece of fiction that didn't dunk on them for once.

Or do some Americans not realise they don't exactly have the best reaction abroad, I mean there's a reason the obnoxious American stereotype exists after all.
The people who didn't appreciate the game were people who feel America is in the ****ter already.

Truth is, its not the best, but we're still in pretty good shape all things considered.

And yes, it was nice to see a foreign work of fiction that portrayed the positive aspects without sucking our collective *****.

So now for mine.

FEH.

Before you hold torches and say "SHINY, this game is popular you goofball!", it should be played more. It is such a good game, it should be played more than Candy Crush.


Shiny...do you even understand what underrated is?


If you want underrated, this is one game that is underrated and underappreicated in the PS2 era




My second favorite game of all time and my favorite RPG of all time. The characters, the storyline, the soundtrack, the ****s and giggles, etc.


30+ hours to Platinum. HEAVILY recommend this game if you have a PS4 because it's worth it. Here's some soundtracks if you guys like to have some convinctions

- Boss theme

- Pops up several times in the game, including an item you give to a character

- One of the over worlds theme

- Filled of emotions with a town being isolated from the world

- One of the town themes

Yes, sir.

So everyone.... what is a game or movie that you find very underrated?

Will post mine soon.
I would love to answer, but tbh I have a hard time defining things as "underrated" or "overrated." comes down to perspective, I guess. I've seen people say things are overrated that don't seem all that popular, and things "underrated" that don't really seem that unpopular to me.

Seems like it's just a more clever way of saying "some people don't like this thing but I do" to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you twisted my arm and made me give a straight answer, though, I guess I'd say the Trails in the Sky series. I don't see that many people - especially here - have played them or are familiar with them, which is a shame because they might be my favorite RPGs of all time. The first game has my favorite antagonist in any video game ever, and I've never connected with a cast of video game characters like I have with the Sky cast. Including some of the follow up entries in the broader series, sadly.

Funny you should say that.
I bought Trails of Cold Steel last year, in december, beat it, bought ToCS II, played it, and beat it in January.
Just about 2 days ago, the entire **** series went on sale.
And now...

I mean, the USA is kind of crap place to live, but that applies everywhere. And well, citizens of the USA are lovely, its the US Government that is making it a rather nasty place. I for one think Americans are lovely, I just prefer my home of the UK.

Also, how could I not love a game where Abe Lincoln and Queen Victoria team up, that sounds like an awesome premise, especially when you make it set in a Steampunk world.

Yeah.

This wouldn't happen to be you, would it?

www.fanfiction.net/u/1283647/bladzer
Yeah, that's me, thanks alot for exposing my dirty secret.

It's 420 blaze it
Haha, very funny secret trap lover.

Also for those who are curious, here's my magnum opus of my Maho Girls Precure fanfiction:

Mirai and Riko get married and live happily ever after.

The End.

What a beautiful and long story.

A Faraway Place
A sarcastic sniper named Floyd and his cyborg dog, Crow, find themselves in the cross hairs of Caesar's Legion after stealing a strange, metallic playing card found in one of the Legion Supply caves of The Mohave Wasteland. Armed with a sniper rifle, a machete, and man's technologically-enhanced best friend, Floyd sets off on a wild quest to learn the true purpose of the card. But The Legion aren't the only ones who are after him...
So, here it is. I wanted to keep it basic, considering this is the first fanfic that I've written in years.

It'll be awhile before I get the first chapter out. I hope you guys are looking forward to it!

Personally I see the government as a minor part of what makes America, well... America.

Kind of an odd feeling to describe. But it seems like most Americans seem to appreciate the people and history more than present day. And that's not a recent thing either, the sentiment has been around for decades.

I guess that's something a lot of countries feel but again, I'm not sure how to describe it.

Also, how could I not love a game where Abe Lincoln and Queen Victoria team up, that sounds like an awesome premise, especially when you make it set in a Steampunk world.
Not to mention its based on literature from around the world.

Game's kickass.

Have fun, they're an absolute blast, thought I think I said enough in my previous post.

...although I realize I missed a chance to spam post music from the games' soundtracks, so I guess I can rectify that now. :p

You're welcome. :)
Looks like everyone's getting invites for the Literature Club in the Social, eh Opossum Opossum ?
NICE OF THE PRINCESS TO INVITE US TO THE LITERATURE CLUB, EH OPOSSUM?
I HOPE SHE MADE LOTSA POETRY!

By the way, since I forgot to mention it before...

From left to right:
$22, $20, $1, $3, and $10
I got all five of these games for less that the price of a standard retail game.
Trails in the Sky 1 is going for only $10 right now, so if you're interested in trying out the series, now is a really good time.

Huh, I never realised it had literature from around the world, sorry Opo, I never finished Codename: S.T.E.A.M.

I plan to though.

You're welcome. :)

Well mostly American and European but there are also a couple stories that have origins in Mexico and I believe Africa?

I legit don't understand the whole Island of California thing and where its from.

Opossum Opossum do you know what story Califa is from?

I know everyone else, even The Fox, but I can't figure out where she's from.

Oh, Califa is from "The Adventures of Esplandiá".

From what I remember it's an old Spanish story about an island called California inhabited only by Black Woman. Califa is their ruler.

So Califia is a warrior queen from a Spanish novel that I forgot the name of. She's easily the most obscure of the cast. Basically in 1600 something, the author wrote that she was queen of a race of all female warriors on the Island of California, a fictional island off the coast of Africa.

She also had a legion of griffons that sadly didn't make it into the game. Some people also think her story may have been the inspiration for Black Panther's Dora Milaje.

I mained the hell out of Billy in All Stars Racing and Zero Gravity. I owe a lot to that game for opening my mind about a lot of other SEGA brands like NiGHTS, Samba De Amigo and Jet Set. It started my journey as a Sega fanboy.

I just hope the next Racing game doesn't just focus on Sonic characters. The racing games are kinda all we have for non-Sonic nostalgia these days, it'd be a shame to lose that.
i Mained him too. Him wreck it Ralph and sama de amigo have been some of my favorites. Ages was cool to. I fully agree on the new racing game. I think the transformed game did so well because it had such a wide cast and a lot of characters sega probably didn’t realize how popular they still well. So hopefully they remember that for this new game

Also, The Fox is actually the only non-secret playable original character, due to copyright issues. She's heavily based off of Zorro (if the name didn't give it away) and is implied to be his daughter. However, due to Zorro being in a weird copyright gray area, they replaced him with his made up daughter. :p

I haven't read it, but it's a romance story. It's about two explorers stumbling upon the island.

I honestly don't know much else about it myself, it's from the 1500s and in Spanish so not a lot I can say about it. It's pretty hard to even find any records of it now that I'm trying to look it up.

I'm honestly bloody impressed they went this far out for the characters of S.T.E.A.M.

Oh god, the shameless truth, who knew I would be exposed on this very sight, oh the humanity!!!

:p
That you like My-HiME?
Is that it?
It seems to have yuri in it.

Or is it that you misspelled the word "secret" as "secert"?

You know, I constantly forget Zorro isn't public domain, he really should be honestly.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. had a great playable cast.

- Henry Fleming (The Red Badge of Courage)
- John Henry (American folklore)
- Tiger Lily (Peter Pan)
- Tom Sawyer (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)
- Randolph Carter (Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos)
- Queequeg (Moby "Richard" [thanks, Smashboards])
- Califia (as stated previously)
- The Fox (lawyer-friendly daughter of Zorro)
- Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Dorothy (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)
- Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina (Fire Emblem lol)

And that's not even getting into the historical figures, all the enemy aliens being based off actual Lovecraft creatures, and the random signposts alluding to other works.
