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.

Sorry if i dont quite understand what you're getting at, but im not saying the west has no good games.  All im simply implying is that if one area just doesnt prefer a certain genre/style of games doesnt mean that something is wrong with them thats all.

And all im getting from these articles is that "Japan is weird for not liking Western games thus Japan is outrageous!".  Even if the western games are fun, but who are we or anybody else to tell another what they should or shouldnt like?
