This is not a perfect mentality you guys. I understand why we like SEGA acknowledging, but we should careful about it.

What do you mean? I think it's a good thing for a company to stick what makes their games what it is, rather than trying to emulate something that is foreign to it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It's about time they figure that out, how many weebs are just in North America. I buy Japanese games because its another perspective of gaming.... That and I recently just passed 3500 hours in my watchtime of anime..........

Well ever since Square made FF games to apeal to the western market the quality of those games have gone downhill bigtime.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

That is actually true.

The west is turning twards over sensitivity socially.

Yakuza gives a taste of the 90's where this nonsense wasn't a thing and people just had fun and played games to have fun, rather than to make social statements.

Not sure if this is where Sega was going with their statement but OK. Also, video games are inherently Japanese so the gaming community doesn’t take issue with Japanese leads and characters. The gaming community really only takes issue with black leads and female leads. Yakuza doesn’t shy away from its Japanese roots and that’s commendable. There will never be an overtly African game because blacks will complain that it’s racist toward them and whites will complain because they’re not the hero. 



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!
