| albhum said: Western reviewers love shooters, specially Americans do so, this is, in my experience, an illness that comes from no having played good Japanese games as a kid and knowing videogames first on a sad beige box, or having some sexual reaffirmation issues that make them treat kiddy looking games in an homophobic way. Maybe a few will feel offended by my comment |
How about stopping with the insults? Some of us like Western games and for you to claim we suffer some kind of illness or sexual reaffirmation issues because of it is insulting. For us it can be the thrill of the competition as we play some of the best players from around the World, especially when it's team play.
As for Japanese games being somehow "better" than Western ones and first person shooters being somehow "uncreative", well I look at most Japanese rpgs being churned out and they have the same problem, just like first person shooters very few of them actually bring something new to the table.
Anyways if you feel reviewers are biased well then that's your belief, for me I see games from Nintendo or Square Enix and other Japanese developers get 9s and 10s so if Western reviewers are biased how did these games get such high reviews? Want to know something funny? Take a guess at how well Western games get reviewed in Japan, and I mean some of the best Western games. I'll give you a hint, not one Western game has ever received a perfect score from Famitsu or even a 39. Are you going to defend them and tell me that no Western game ever made is better than Ridge Racer Revolution for instance? It got a higher score than *any* game they've ever reviewed from the West. Dead of Alive 4 did as well. I think our reviewers are more fair than theirs.
