Meh... IMO all i get out of these articles is how Japan wont conform to America.  Really it just sounds like America is stuck up and think they're the hot stuff, like if its big in America it MUST be big everywhere else in the world or else something is wrong with that country.

Different country, different culture, different mind-set, get over it!

Bioware who has yet to put out a bad game has several franchises besides Mass Effect and Dragon Age is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. Blizzard in 1998 had only three good franchises to it's name: Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft. Bioware has Mass Effect, Star Wars, Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur's Gate.

The West does not equal USA. I think of the West as any game developer in the Western hemisphere or Europe.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

For a company that prides themselves on intensive storytelling, that game was particularly abysmal.
