Because japanese gamers have bad taste when it comes to games. Japanese games are just inferior compared to western games.

Haha!

Japanese games rape western ones.

Since you seem to be such a Gears of War fan, tell me how is it any better than anything Japan has to offer.

 

Better atmosphere, art style, gameplay.. everything is just vastly superior to anything japan can offer. Of course there are some good games coming from japan, but those are the ones who are made mostly to the western gamer.

The Western competitors for better atmosphere, IMO, are only Bioshock and Metroid Prime. Art style..? take Valkyria Chronicles for a spin, mate. That's art direction and art style for you. Among others...

The good games coming out of Japan are mixed. DMC appeals both to the Japanese and the Westerners. Same for MGS. But there are lots of good games coming out of Japan that appeal primarily for the Japanese gamer. Valkyria Chronicles, Tales of Vesperia, the upcoming Star Ocean, Okami... that's just scratching the surface of this gen.

 

Funny, I always get annoyed by the atmosphere of most japanese games. Isn't metroid prime a japanese game? :p

Valkyria chronicles is a prime example of a game which art style sucks. I can't stand that anime style.
