I don't fault the Uk for anything. The only ones not liking the tastes of the UK market are the ones that are sad to see Nintendo titles missing in action there, which is the same reason they adore the japanese taste. We as westerners don't hate the japanese taste, but just don't share it and that's a great thing. Because it would be incredibly boring if every country shared the japanese taste for video games, or anything else for that matter. Diversity is a beautiful thing. Loyalists just don't realize this.

Now you're just putting words in people's mouths. Diversity is a good thing, I agree. But as I said, Japan frustrates me too. Mostly in the fact that console games are dying there. And Nintendo doesn't do that great there either, but then nothing really does anymore that isn't Japanese niche games. They support the Vita though, and that's nice. Portable gaming would probably die without them. This has nothing to do with loyalism. This has to do with sophistication of taste. If anything, I suspect you're the loyalist, as you probably hate Japan because Microsoft is missing in action there. Oh what's that you say? That's not true? Well you have just as much evidence that those who dislike the tastes of the UK are Nintendo fans as I do that those who don't like Japanese taste are Microsoft fans.

Show me where i put words in people's mouths? And i agree with what you said. And no i don't like Microsoft's games at all. I like Sony games mostly and they do good business in Japan, but that's not reason enough for me to adore the japanese taste, even though i enjoy games like Dark Souls, Metal Gear Solid and the older Final Fantasies.

"The only ones not liking the tastes of the UK market are the ones that are sad to see Nintendo titles missing in action there"

That's putting words into people's mouths. And I know you're not a Microsoft fan, I've seen enough of your posts to know you're more into Sony, but I was mostly just trying to illustrate a point. I used the same logic you used. "What? He doesn't like X country's tastes? Must be because one of the big three is underperforming and he's a fan of them." Nonsense of course. All the better illustrated by the fact that you're not even a Microsoft gamer. I don't adore Japanese taste either, but it doesn't piss me off all that much. To me, it feels like their taste isn't bad, it's just different, whereas the UK's taste isn't different, it's just bad. They're like the US taste if you took out a lot of good games and added a ton of shovelware and casual crap.
