Its bad to completely generalise, but in general what he says is spot on.

Are there exceptions? Yes, there are. But, as someone who enjoys Japanese games, wich i was s big fan of since the PSOne era, the games on offer this gen are few and lacking.
Its a fact the japanese lost this gen. They ran towards the PSP for the lower development costs.

But, there are signs of change on Dark souls, Dragons Dogma and other possible titles that make me believe that the japanese can change and rise to the occasion. In general though, they havent, and they should be ashamed that the "western ****" has now been replaced by the "Japanese ****". May it be a lesson in humility and self-improvement so there is no more "****" in the future and only great games.


Your first sentence doesnt make a lick of sense..................and you completely generalize the whole way through

Poor baby, what are you upset the ps3 wasnt the most popular system like the ps1 was? Or are you more upset that the psp had an install base 30 million units more than the ps3 did. I am not sure..............The psp had lower dev costs, higher install base, higher profit margin, better everything than the ps3. So it was natural for development to thrive on it............

There is no "winning" and "losing", thats only opinion, it isnt fact. But sales prove japan worldwide had a very nice time this gen. Ask namco who has risen into a super power

 

How much do you know about gaming? Dark souls, is just like every other rpg from software ever did in past gens.

Dragons dogma is a different riff on monster hunter. Nothing all that new or exciting

 

You want change and rise to the occasion? Valkyria, mario and luigi , disgaea, xenoblade, radiant historia, devil survivor, song summoner, blue dragon, zhp and so much more.................. notice how I brought up games from the ps3, wii, 360, ds, psp, ios.......its easy. The gen has been an embarrasment of riches.......

 

You should seriously be ashamed you say generalizing is bad, and thats what your post is. One hateful false generalization


Wow i almost missed this quality post.

Afraid that you dont realise what a disclaimer is. I was generalising and to put it simple i said such generalisation is to be taken with a grain of salt.You must realise that its impossible to go and evaluate every single individual company, so yes generalising leads to unfair evaluations on some cases, but i didnt say "bad"in the sense you shouldnt do it at all, otherwise it would be impossible to talk about the topic.

Sorry for you, if you had even checked my profile you would realise i dont even have a PS3. Oops... I am guessing someone is bu**hurt but that is the reality. As a whole Japanese development this cycle has been really bad on home consoles. Theres no denying it. If that somehow makes you feel ashamed, or if you cant see where the inspiration for games like Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma is coming from... well, lets just say its better if the japanese developers know better. And seriously, monster hunter is fun for a portable game, but it doesnt even come close to western MMORPG's in quality. But that was the whole point, japan development hid in the PSP cause it had no other choice. It was the same as admiting they couldnt take on home consoles, wich was the case.
