Why is everyone treating this like a failed attempt at a real map? It's a game! Reality doesn't always match good game design.

 

[Zaptruder]

I'm dead serious. Because this topic is serious.

No really, people, what is the grand debate taking place here that I am disrupting?

... Seriously, you should consider how your original post could be offensive. We already have enough trolls at GAF... the mods don't take too kindly to new ones.

Wow, this forum is for two year olds? Making a joke about how we should make our own "map of ignorance" pointed at Japan was far more offensive than the bomb joke, by the way.

 

[Zaptruder]

The offensiveness was more in the lack of funny. No. Really.

 

[vitaflo]

I love how Mpls/St. Paul is somehow to the east of Chicago, and Mt. Rushmore is in Missouri. :lol

 

[RidgeCityFM]

mt rushmore= :lol :lol :lol

 

[Callo Merlose]

cartoonic

:lol

 

[belgurdo]

GODDAMNIT SHUT UP ABOUT THE NEWBIE'S COMMENT

and lol at Detroit being some kind of hell on earth/dark castle thing, and Indy being an Indian outpost

 

[junkwaffle]

I love the giant holes in the northeast.

 

[GitarooMan]

:lol I think it's funny how New England and most of the East Coast have apparently fallen into the sea. Looks like Michigan and Indianapolis is the East Coast here.

 

[tedtropy]

Funny, I don't recall seeing many...um, windmills (?) on my daily commute into Houston.

 

[Belfast]

Give 'em a little credit -- they DID get both Carlsbad Caverns in. Even *I* couldn't tell you where each one is.

That's because Carlsbad Caverns would make an excellent dungeon!

 

[Brannon]

No Mississippi? But how will you have the awesome river stage where you fight the river king!?!?!

Giant monsters need to destroy Japan for this transgression. Again.

 

[meltpotato]

as amazing as this map is... rushmore defintely tops everything. :lol

 

[Black_Mamba]

And how an american sees the world:

 

[xaosslug]

WHAT ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, MOTHEREFFERS!

 

[Brannon]

Hawaii doesn't exist since they bombed it out remember :rolleyes

 

[Aurora]

Not being American I fail to see the funny.

 

[Brannon]

Liar, everybody's American, they just don't know it yet.

 

[Matlock]

We should make a map of Japan as revenge. With mushroom clouds and everything.

:lol holy crap

 

[RedLightning]

This one is probably only funny for Canadians, but it seems like an appropriate place to dig it back out:

 

[Leatherface]

America is WAY cooler from the Japanese perspective! :lol

 

[Killkernal]

This map will be of great use. You see, I will take an airship from Detroit Castle to the Badlands of Florida in less than a week. Perhaps I will travel south to see Atlanta Tower if I can survive the dreaded United States River.

Thanks again!

After an influx of new junior members, longtime posters tend to get extra-sensitive and self-rightenous when a junior dares to make a dark joke, as if their "O'Rly?!?" brand of humour is what the forum populace should be aspiring to. Pay 'em no heed.

This one is probably only funny for Canadians, but it seems like an appropriate place to dig it back out:

:lol Yeah, that sounds about right.

 

[Brannon]

Yeah some of these old guardians need to get off their high horse, or get high off some horse, or something.

 

[vitaflo]

Funny, I don't recall seeing many...um, windmills (?) on my daily commute into Houston.

Those are radio dishes. They're probably thinking about space flight ("houston we have a problem") and all that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

beware of the random encounters with Pedos in Florida.

 

[Tiger]

hilarious :lol :lol :lol :lol
but it's quite what I experienced sometimes with Americans while staying in the US. Many had no idea what/where the country I'm coming from is. Mostly mixed it up with Sweden.
(Don't mean to be judgemental)

Hey, it's not fair. We've got 50 states to remember!

 

[thetrin]

Most Americans would draw a map of the US that would be about this accurate as well. And we won't even get into the "Average American's" map of other parts of the world.

Most Americans would draw a circular blob, put LA at one end, New York at the other, and cut out a portion for Texas.

I love how you otaku faggots are taking offense to Master of the Melee. Get a sense of humor you nerds.

 

[FlyinJ]

I love how you otaku faggots are taking offense to Master of the Melee. Get a sense of humor you nerds.

:lol

EDIT: I love that isometric pixely game artstyle from the america map. I've seen it around quite a bit lately. Is that one particular site that creates that, or is it some kind of clipart set people use?

 

[cicero]

I love how you otaku faggots are taking offense to Master of the Melee. Get a sense of humor you nerds.

Ok.. Who does this joke character belong to?

WHAT HAPPEN!?

 

[thetrin]

America is WAY cooler from the Japanese perspective! :lol

Word. I wish America was as cool as the Japanese thought.

 

[Shard]

Map fails due to lack of Hawaii and Orlando.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Word. I wish America was as cool as the Japanese thought.

But do the japanese say they wish japan was as cool as americans thought?

 

[Shinobi]

I love how you otaku faggots are taking offense to Master of the Melee. Get a sense of humor you nerds.

:lol Even I'm not gonna defend this post...

 

[Otto]

Canada doesn't exist to Japan. :lol

Look! It's Lake Tahoe! Is that the Corleone estate?

I didn't even notice Canada was missing until I read your post :lol .

 

[Red Blaster]

I love how you otaku faggots are taking offense to Master of the Melee. Get a sense of humor you nerds.

...trouble in sector G.

 

[muttyeah416]

:lol I love how since how these guys know little to nothing about San Francisco, Phoenix, Lake Tahoe, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, and Dallas, they are illustrated with non descript 2 story buildings

 

[Xdrive05]

I wasn't aware that the Combine and Dr. Breen were setting up camp in Chicago this time around.

 

[michael000]

Lol i can imagine when you entered the land of texas everyone was wearing cowboy outfits, rode horses, and carried six shooters. And ahm sure we got ourselves a funny way uh talking like this partner.

Hell the sad thing is i've met people in the US that follow that stereotype. I've met quite a few people who live up north that have asked if i live on a farm and own a horse.... Houston being a small hick town and all :lol

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Alot of overthinking and kvetching in this thread; the team that made this ain't after accuracy, just the funny.

 

[djtiesto]

I <3 this game

 

[thetrin]

But do the japanese say they wish japan was as cool as americans thought?

If by America's impression of Japan, you mean hot school girls everywhere, giant robots and high school punks hitting each other with ridiculously large fireballs, then probably.

 

[distantmantra]

Portland is nothing.. haha

And that's worse than being Kitty Land?

 

[StephaneC]

nice job CNN !!

 

[EnvoyDenali]

if thats the case, you are going to the same prison he is going to.

 

[CajoleJuice]

:lol Even I'm not gonna defend this post...

:lol :lol For some reason, seeing that book cover fucking cracked me up. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. :lol :lol

 

[ferricide]

also worth noting that the first three games in this series were set in a country that was a parody of feudal japan.
