Do you think you could possibly come into a topic about localization of Japanese games without trying to pigeonhole Western gamers as shooter fanatics? Maybe? Please? Didn't we already have the discussion where it's revealed that the West consumes far more JRPGs than Japan does?

 

It's not so much about West being shooter fanatics.  It's more about some people feeling their masulinity challenged in the West when Japan-West cultural clashes occur.  A cultural clash occurs also in Japan when they can't relate to characters like Master Chief and Marcus Phoenix.

I'm fairly certain that has only happened to Vesperia, not western-eastern culture clashes(?). Why would you even say that? If westerners felt challenged by eastern games, LO wouldn't be near topping 1 mil, NG2 would have sold very crappily, and Resident Evil 5 will flop miserably. All have lots of Eastern in them, with the exception of Resident 5.
