If anybody was wondering what the Japanese comment people has been talking about from Phil Fish and Johnathon Blow here it is.  To be fair, Blow said what he said in a much better manner and tried to be instructive.  Fish on the other hand just seemed rude and the guy laughing hysterically  didnt help.

In all honesty though, FEZ is a good game though.  Even if he is a jerk FEZ was good and hopefully he doesnt leave the industry.  Just improve his attitude a little and maybe apologize for some of his comments.

Thanks for posting this video, Jay. I had read a transcript of the dialogue but I'd never actually seen the video before.

The thing is, if Fish had just limited his "Japanese games suck" remark to Twitter or something I wouldn't give two shits about it. He's certainly entitled to his opinion and some of the issues he brought up, like Zelda and long tutorials, are good ones.

Instead, he was obnoxiously rude to this man asking a question which was completely unwarranted not to mention egotistical. That's why the comparison to Kamiya that someone mentioned before is absurd; to my knowledge Kamiya has never been that ignorant in person to one of his peers in this fashion.

Bottom line: Fish is free to speak as he likes, but don't whine and throw a tantrum when you get flack back.
