I've played MH and its probably one of the worst games I've ever played. Its core gameplay itself is terrible. The oother ones you've mentioned are mostly Nintendo games which I don't care about. That's what I'm saying, if its not made by Nintendo a good game will sell poorly in Japan. You might not like God Of War or Halo but they are widely considered the best games in their genre and they don't sell very well, even your favourite Naughty Dog games don't sell well there. |
Actually ND games sell pretty well in Japan all things considered, combining both platforms TLOU sold (according to vgchartz) over 300k in Japan and Uncharted 2 and 3 also sold about 200k, that's decent. But overall I just don't agree with you, cause you're implying that only bad games sell well in Japan (aside from Nintendo) and that is, no offense, kinda ignorant. Who is to say that the opinion that you have about Monster Hunter isn't the same that a lot of japanese people have about GoW or Halo, for example? The japanese have different tastes for the most part and a lot of brilliant japanese games don't sell well in the west either, Persona for example is a series loved by critics and its players (I mean Persona 4 Golden is the top rated gaming item on Amazon.com) and it still sells pretty poorly in the US considering the size of the market and is virtually non-existant in Europe.
