Viper Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Literally never heard of this series, and apparently it's been a game series since the Atari 2600!? And before that it was a board game and comic book series? Under a rock, I have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's incredulous to me. Before this, I had not met or heard of anyone who is not somehow familiar with Asterix & Obelix. Even people I know, born in late 50's or early 60's, read the comics as a kid. And people born in 70's to 90's most certainly did. In terms of recognition, I would brand Asterix just slightly below or on par with Peanuts, which would be second only to Disney.

I've seen the characters before, as I know they had comic strips in newspapers back in the day...but they were always the ones I didn't care about, and never would have been able to point them out by name. I most definitely know Peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTWD Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) It is French and despite numerous try, it never really succeed exporting itself in USA, so it is not really that surprising. Edited November 6, 2022 by ACTWD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiristus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Being of French origin is why it may not be as known in USA? ? Edited November 6, 2022 by Antiristus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It's possible, but like I said American newspapers had the "funny section" on Sundays with comic strips like Garfield, Peanuts, Archie and these guys. But I haven't seen these names mentioned in over 20 years coupled with them not being a comic strip I paid a lot of attention to. It just didn't trigger that core memory for me. I definitely didn't know they had video games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm4789 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I remember renting a few of the comics at my local library and seeing one of the animated movies pop up on a public access channel once(this same station also regularly aired other eu imports like red dwarf and doctor who). But yeah, this franchises reach in the states is quite limited because none of the big 3 kids networks or the big Saturday morning blocks ever aired the animated adaptations as far as im aware and the comics weren't really syndicated in most newspapers. Compare that to another eu import wallace and gromit which was constantly in rotation on cartoon networks Saturday night movie block and as a result more people are familiar with that. Asterix may be huge in the eu but at best the only way a kid in the states would be familiar with the franchise is if you stumble upon one of the films in a blockbuster or find a compilation of comics in a library or book store. An unfortunate victim of poor marketing and limited interest by the outlets by the outlets that could give it potential to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoey_666 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So is this game bugged or hard ? Anyone who tried getting plat can say something already ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMODAIOS344 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 What in the name of Toutatis and the other Gods!!! A New Asterix&Obelix game, how i miss it?? Definitely i will check it along with the remastered of the first XXL game. Asterix series is one my favourite comics only some issues missing from my library. Sadly not many remember the XXL series of games, especially XXL2 which is a fantastic parody of video game pop culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are some of the trophies bugged or is the game just hard ? Noone having plat after this long time is pretty uncommon.

I contacted the developers but got no response. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
