Really? I always thought 'Murica was the center of the universe? "Quick y'all get your guns, we're not alone!"

OKAY PEOPLE

 

I MADE A MISTAKE

 

I'M SORRY

 

Trust me, I'm a liberal atheist who is constantly critical of America and it's obsession with patriotism, I'm currently pursuing a degree in Anthropology right now. I made a slight faux pas. LET IT GO.

That's the thing, from where i'm from, we can't stand people like you. Criticizing everything down to the last thing. It simply pisses me off. American isn't the only country in the world. In fact, America wasn't even discovered until 1492 by Christopher Columbus. And like many have said, Most people aren't even american, America is like 1% of the entire population of the world.

You didn't understand a word of what he just said, did you.

I don't give a f*ck what he said.

lol

 

I feel like this sums up a good amount of typical posts on this forum, or any forum for that matter.

but even star wars tried to get 1313 out which is also going to be dark and gritty.

Looked good though. Shame it got cancelled. sad.gif

If you don't give a f*ck about what he said- why then do you respond, that kind of defeats the purpose of "not giving a f*ck". Besides you forgot the word "about" there mate.

Criticism is what the world is built on my friend.

 

And what the hell are you talking about? Of course America isn't the only country in the world, I know that you goddamn idiot. I'm pursuing an Anthropology degree and history is one of my favorite subjects. Christ half the imbeciles on this forum can't goddamn read.

No need to get angry and turn into the Hulk, I was just giving an opinion.

Actually you're wrong. The America's weren't first "discovered until 1492," people have been living there for thousands of years before Columbus' "discovery". The Western Hemisphere has been inhabited for the past 16,500–13,000 years, first discovered by humans traveling East through Asia in search of new land during migration. Due to the fact the ice-age lowered ocean water levels, it uncovered a land bridge which is usually submerged connecting Alaska to North Eastern Russia. Even so, the Vikings technically discovered America about 500 years before Columbus did, however they didn't stay very long due to poor relations with the Natives who pretty much forced them out.

 

On topic:

I've always thought that the Japanese have a weird taste in video games, but I've heard that they've played previous GTA's in the past, so this really isn't too odd. Who isn't going to play GTA5?

The USA isn't the only one getting hype.

 

Wtf are you talking about? It's impossible. There is no world outside of USA.

 

F*cking kids and ignorant Americans...

Miss Darko

It's slightly surprising given how different the market for Western and Eastern media is, but ultimately, not everyone in Japan is into crazy sci-fi fantasy, androgynous heroes type of stuff. It's a prevalent part of their culture that reaches us, but it's not all there is. There's plenty of people into the more grounded, macho-esque nature of Western media, and maybe even those who are tired of the view of Japan as the "land of anime and anime-esque media".

You obviously are part of that first group as you seem to be unable to read the previous posts prior to posting.

As much as i love the country and really want to go there sometime, their taste of videogames is a bit odd in my opinion. They simply can't seem to get sick of Monster Hunter and i find it nothing special, but ok...that's not too bad. But they have ugly ass horrible looking games and they simply love them. They also don't seem to mind getting games that after ten years have barely changed/evolved. Of course i dont mean every Japanese person is like that, hell no.

Japanese, perhaps, are the most abnormal nation on the Earth.

 

Just look at their porn, fashion, movies, games...anything

I agree that Japanese anime should not be dark and gritty. Crimes games on the other hand need some grittiness. Every great crime movie has some grittiness so it makes sense that games would be the same way.

This is new to me, never expect japanese to like GTAs before, i thought they're into RPGs, online games and some other genre. Though there are some games that the western still enjoyed like Wangan Midnight, Initial D, Yakuza series, Tekken series, hell the GT series too

Only 2 games from non-Japanese developers got into top 100 best-selling games in Japan last year: "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" and "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3"

Doesn't Capcom Publish the games over there? I remember seeing that somewhere but I'm not so sure.
