MrWhite It turned out about 26 results with about 15 different versions of them all. jesus fucking christ, the modern gaming industry has made it so you need a fucking guide to purchase a game. Disgusting (21 Hours ago)
MrWhite I did a search on PSN to see how much Hitman 3 and the previous ones cost for curiosity. Was expecting a simple result of about 5 editions to buy, including GotY ones... (21 Hours ago)

Fixed now =)
Wonder why they waited so long.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an *******. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

well sorry but you are sayin you cant be successful in japan at bein good at nothing? if your an expert go back to school. The gaming east companies have fell behind in gaming for sometime. be the reason they are looking for more and more help from western game companies for help.

Imo the reason that most of the Japanese devs suck soo bad in the tech department is that they sticked to long to the PS2...
They are still excessivly developing PS2-exclusives. Sure, that system still sells pretty well in Japan, but damn the hardware is almost prehistoric.
I cant remember one single Western developer who released a PS2 or Xbox exclusive after the "next-gen" consoles launched...
here... have a dollar, and go educate yourself on internet memes.

What he hell does honor and shame have to do with stupid console games, mister self-proclamed expert? Wow the people you find on the internet.. lol
They have McDonalds in japan, they have coca cola, they have english printing on many of their beers and even the signs around their cities.
They dont "loose honor" just because they play a friggin foreign game rofl.
Mods, why aint he banned yet?
Right under the comment box it clearly states that Trolling will get you banned.
GoW2 is just announced to be released in Summer, but the main reason for the delay was its gory rendering (GoW1 was released in Japan 2 months after US). Obviously there will be many censorship, and our main concern is how much it will be twisted (even Maria's death scene can be lost).
On Topic: That was a nice montage. You guys things that those games will boost sales of the 360 in Japan?

Not to mention the fact that his name is incredibly offensive to Christians everywhere.

And your quote has to do with what? Successful by beeing a what? What has japaneeses view on honor and shame to do with great RPG's such as Mass Effect and Oblivion?
damn dude, come back to the real world.

I personally who have been playing japanese and western RPG's for a long time, thinks that w-rpg's are superior, although I always will love a bunch of j-RPG's for their story and design, but dialogues, options, character development, level design, and yeah most things is better in a game such as Mass Effect.
What's your opinion on this matter?
I don't want to hear anymore about it in this thread; if you have a problem PM a mod
It's a shame that most of them are for local market(
It's a shame that most of them are for local market(
But it's a really cheap move what square and namco are doing, releasing SO and Tales for the US as if its the only important market, and making Eurotrash like myself wait 6+ months. Wake Up! I'm gonna play in English too, motherf***ers, do you speak it?!
And not being region-free, of all things to be also, jesus.

The way they play RPG is also similar to watching a movie or reading a novel, rather than playing the game. Japanese gamers want it to have cool & cute characters, beautiful fantasy graphics, and good storytelling (shame that is almost gone.) and "easy-to-proceed gameplay", that means weak enemies along the main story, and very linear path (removal of freedom). That's why WRPGs don't make big sale in Japan, since it is so much like "GAME" , and it is not from Japan (I think if Square-Enix sells Oblivion and Mass Effect as their own title, Japanese gamers would blindly buy those).
>>jesuschrist
Yes, language doesn't matter. They work as long as the region is free.
Normally I just think about all the time it takes for Japanese games to come over to Europe, never realised it was the same, if not a lot worse the other way round.
Still, good to see you finally getting some of the best we have to offer. Shame you're getting X-Blades though... nobody wants that.
X-Blades is the same story as I mentioned. The characters are much more like our favor, and Japanese localization is so great (Ayumi's voice actor is very famous and talented). Maybe you can't imagine the importance of voice quality in Japanese market. Of course we know the game itself sucks, but there are some amount of people who are willing to step a visible land-mine.
The game value changes through the localization like better voice acting than original, or so many typo like "I feel asleep!", and X-Blades got better.

I agree in terms of gameplay and graphic favor, that's the same story in both side of the world. But I really think that WRPGs are better in overall quality.
