man and that to someone from japan straight in his face? they are always so respectful to you if you talk with someone from japan and this guy wasn't able to say him this a little bit more respectful? what a prick!
i believe he's a huge nerd who doesn't understand the difference between "those games suck" on the internet or straight in the face to someone in real life exactly from there living exactly from this.

i think as well that japanese games aren't as good as they were 10 years ago but i think the same about most western games nowadays compared to their predecessor. sure new technique helps to make better graphics and blabla but if it comes to simplification nowadays even in games for "core" gamers i could cry.


Is there any need for a moral analysis? Who gives a fuck from that perspective. This is a gaming site and I hardly think the developer needed to see a councillor after receiving his answer - which he asked for. Regardless or rights and wrongs, Fish was speaking the truth as he saw it, and you know what, as I just said, it's that "respect" culture that causes so many problems for them in modern times. Their economy is down the toilet, in part thanks to it.

I've met plenty of Japanese people, and on a personal level they aren't especially respectful except in business. They do have a certain charm and restrained aura about them but they aren't stupid and can quite easily stand up for themselves.

Your post is simply a stereotype painting the picture of Japanese people as unable to cope with Western peopleideascritisism style. Sorry but that is more insulting and ignorant than anything.

hmm let's see, as i was talking about it, it should be clear that i give a fuck from this perspective...i was talkig about this guy and how he was acting. gaming forum or not doesn't change the fact that i will talk about other things as well here. and if you don't care, why do you reply to me? i don't understand why you reply to someone which post you don't care about? because you don't want someone like me saying this because you don't care about it? hmm ok...

even if japanese would be the biggest assholes talking with others doesn't change how disrespectful it is to say to someone you barely know that his work and the work of his entire workmates sucks with not even one own released game with high quality. and if his game or the game after that will get let's say 75% meta score i bet he won't say his work sucks (but i believe he would say it to a 75% game from japan)

and no, i don't paint a picture of japanese people unable to cope with western people ideas critism lol? first of all, most western people aren't like him (i really didn't hear about carmack or so saying this to anothers work in the face of that guy) so it's not like this fish guy i representing a standard guy from europe and i don't hope he's representing a standard guy from usa/canada.

i just said if you are in front of someone who is probably very respectful to you it's even worse to be disrespectful to him than saying this to someone who was an asshole to you as well. maybe you think that's ok but this is really not my character and that's why i was talking about that and that i don't like it.

I hope people take this into account when deciding to purchase his game. I would never give my money to someone who puts down someones work. The Japanese Dev probably put a lot of effort into it. Jerk!

I'm curious to see how often your actions contradict this statement.  Sony, MS, Ninty, etc. have all slandered another's work at some point in time.

true but you don't see them going up to each others faces and saying it. in my most recent post I said "couldn't he have just waited till after the show to tweet about it" not in those exact words.

Team Meat and the Fez dev seem to have a lot in common.

A lot of these so-called Indie developers, really. Rovio would also fall in there.

If we go by ego, Rovio definitely trumps every indie (or actually, any developer) in that cattegory.

They are indie developers but they let their success go straight to their head unfortunately. This is as good as any example.

Japanese games are the biggest reason why I game!!!!(have more JRPG's and any other genre) I don't even know who this douche-bag is but that was absolutely disrespectful....many Japanese developers made the foundation that he and many others stand on today)

So buying a game if it looks good even if you hate the person making it is weak?

Hardly...the opposite is weak. It's very weak willed of you if you let the hate of a company blind you from experiencing a good game. 


Ever heard of the word "integrity".  Just too push that to the extreme, what you say basically is that you would purchase a game made by forced children labor if the game is good enough. Its not weak to not buy a product your interested in because it would support somethig that goes agaisnt your moral value, its actually being quite strong and it shows integrity.



Going by this gen (at least on HD consoles) I'm inclined to agree with him somewhat. Though I don't think Japanese games suck, it's just that Western games are better now.

Japanese games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Western ones

Almost all my favorite games and franchises happen to be Japanese, wasn't intentional or anything, I just like them a lot better

This dude will have a lot too prove with his game. Let’s see how good or sucky it will be
