Woah there no need to get so antsy. No I do not like the hero-infused shooting waves of enemies FPSs and the GTAs. I feel that they only devalue gaming in general and enforce the stereotype of gaming saturated by dudebro swagfags when that is obviously not the case. Gaming should not be reduced to such a level. What really just upsets me particularly in the Western gaming industry is seeing games that could have been even greater having to be forced to copy Call of Duty elements to sell or having the boxart be generic white guy holding a gun. See Bioshock Infinite. (Just in case you think me of as a Japanophile or anything, there is only 1 thing that pisses me off more than this and that's Japanese industry treatment of girls/women in games which I find even worse than the Western portrayal. Dragon's Crown and whatnot, waifus, etc.) At the moment the only Western AAA title that I find enjoyable is the Halo series (though even less after Halo 4), but that doesn't mean I hate Western games in general. Just the direction that this AAA mindset is forcing other games to become. Do play lot of League of Legends if that's considered AAA. But, I do love the Western Indie community because of not sharing that mindset of "having to be a violence filled empowerment game". Hell I love Minecraft and what it's done to the industry. Would I buy AAA western titles even if was on a Nintendo platform? If they are guilty of the above then no I would shun them. Do I want these companies that make these kind of games to suffer? Oh god yes, I want them to learn from their sufferings and adapt. I want them to BURN and hopefully come out humbled. Something Nintendo needs to do as well. EDIT:And now I realize why I sound so hating of the West. My name is an inside joke and Lucina is a damn good character. |

What? The Halo series is exactly what you're talking about..
As to your point...yes, it's pretty exactly much what I said. You don't enjoy these games, so you don't want to see them successful. They don't 'devalue' the industry, they just take the industry in a direction you don't like, because you don't enjoy those games.
So you want to see games you don't like fail. That's it. (apart from Halo I guess...weird to have such strong opinions on these games but then mention you do infact like one example of them).
Edit: You mention GTA specifically...don't you often talk about how much you enjoy Sleeping Dogs? One of the most derivative GTA inspired games out there? Sorry if I have you confused with someone else.
