The Xbox area of shibuya yodobashi camera has titanfall gameplay on loop in the screens in that area, you would think it would get the mech loving Japanese flocking to it, but the entire isle was empty except for one random dude picking up a discounted copy of gal gun, hype train clearly serves only the US and select areas of Europe, because it sure as hell isn't getting any juices flowing here.

And if japan doesnt approve of mechs, saying "mechs done right" is laughable.


It won the Future Award at Tokyo Game Show.

Tell that to the empty xbox isles across the country, see how many native Japanese give a crap.


Why would the Xbox aisle be full if neither Titanfall or Xbox One is out?

Oh i dont know, because preorder cards for the Xbox 360 version are sat on the shelves maybe? Did you forget it's being released for 360 and PC again? Silly you.

 

Also, the isle won't be full on release day, nor will it be full the day the Xbox one releases here.

Think about how many people in Japan have a 360...And the PC version is Origin only so why would Titanfall PC be advertised in the Xbox Area?

So I post info about how japan doesn't care for titanfall and your retort is to point out that they also don't care for the console its coming out on either as if it detracts from my point in any way?

Darwin award, you win one.

To be fair tho, the fact that the japanese people don't care doesn't mean that "mechs done right" isn't true

You posted info about how one store in japan doesn't care about Titanfall because for the time you were there it was noone in the aisle it was being advertised in. There's 2 other platforms that Titanfall will be on rather than the vastly unpopular Xbox 360. How do you know people don't want the PC version?

Because PC software is in the same isle, go there sometime,  it may well be one store, but its the biggest and busiest in the entire country.

Biggest for gaming? Or for general shopping? Is it the Walmart of Japan or the Gamestop of Japan?

This happens with every big (and some small) game that gets the kind of praise this has received pretty much unanimously from every professional and amateur that has had the privilege of playing them. Stop acting like this is some unique phenomenon with this game.

This feels like a stealth troll exercise ...

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
