So according to Pachter, Japanese gamedevelopers should only make glitchfest interactive movies focused on realism, blood, emotions and shooting instead of gameplay and make the game no longer than 8 hours? Cool.

It's not just video games though. Entertainment in general is creatively bankrupt in Japan.

team ico (the last guardian).

nintendo (pikmin 3)

..needs to be added to the list.  seriously, start listing off all the vaporware in the industry than calculate the percentage that is japan based.

but yes, SE is most of it.

Load the game with mainly cut scenes and quick time events then you can fool your girlfriend into thinking she is watching a movie.

Sigh...there's a reason people want him banned from forums, you know. This comes off as somewhat Xenophobic.

The article is portraying him to an xenophobic but the video isn't. He is right with not understanding how Japanese devs fail to deliver games at the same time. Why does a Japanese game release months or even years later in EU/NA? and how FF looks crazy and don't understand what is so appealing about it...Their is nothing wrong with thinking that...he is not saying it is bad. Just don't understand it.

So Pachter finally admits he doesn't understand the companies (= industry)? Was about time.. he will still make money, though. Imagine you tell your boss/employer/whoever pays you that you don't know what's going on in your job. lol

I think mostly he doesn't understand why SE is sitting on a goldmine of FF7 remake and just letting it sit there.

Patcher is so clueless all the time. Considering that Patcher always says the reverse, he maybe wants to say something that is positive for him. He probably understands them now.

What exactly from that quote suggests racism? Saying you don't get something doesn't make you Xenophobic.
