Metal Gear 5 Bundle: Once again Japan gets a bundle to a military type game that is less appealing to them vs the world.. We got the typical game no special offers.

Never heard of this. Where did you see that?

OT I agree with most of what you say, but Vita is getting a lot of localizations already (more than 3DS). Just this summer there are 5 games, you should check those ones out.

Well it doesn't surprise me that they do exclusive things for their home country.

It's not surprising, it's ridiculous.. As a professional company, favoritism goes out the door. I don't mind they get a few exclusives, but in this case this is not fair in any means to the rest of their fans.

I don't care about their exclusive bundles and things like that but yeah it really sucks when they  don't want to localize games, for example  Sega most  probably don't think those games aren't going to sell, they should try at least.

Trying and Sega never really work out lol I mean not since the Dreamcast, but I completely agree with you..



 

I love Sony too, but they have lost touch with Japan every since they became obsessed with western profit and shooters. I can understand why people who love Japanese games buy the 3DS.

To makey you feel better, those limited editions doesn't go to any store in Japan, you need to get them online. Wich is a hassle.
For MGS, you need to go through Konami, for the frozen one, I guess through Sony.

So, they won't sell that good, because you need to register on their site and give them you're credit card information, and some people aren't buying it for that one thing ~

Well this is exactly accurate, but did you know fromwhat I saw on youtube unboxings of MGS5 bundle.. The shipment is a standard black PS4 with a copy of MGS5 floating around the package.. And there's a small black box containing a custom hard drive cover for your ps4.. literally that's it. No special edition box or all in one box contnet.. it's literally a stand ps4, mgs5, and a neat cover case.. That actually makes me feel better lol

I don't think you realize how many western games were never localized in Japan.

Yes, but I highly doubt many japanese gamers care about western games.. Minus last of us of course lol

Think about it the other way: If all those offers you mentioned were not exclusive to Japan, they wouldn't exist at all, and you still wouldn't have them.
This way at least you have an option of importing.

Well that doesn't mean they wouldn't exist, it could mean they exist worldwide if anything.. But taking your advice does make me feel better, since the console/exclusives do exist.. Better to exist than not =)

I know! The Japan-exclusive Frozen PS4 really pisses me off! >_>

That's not the only thing that pisses me off.. The console should have been ice white and blue!!

I was very angry to SEGA for Yakuza 5 and Yakuza Ishin. But later I got to play sleeping dogs. Its how yakuza should have become. No regrets. I am happy.

Well in my case Shenmue > Yakuza > Sleepin Dogs soooooo I'm not happy =P

Here's a link to the MGS5 bundle http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/02/17/sony-announces-ps4-x-metal-gear-solid-v-fox-edition-limited-console/

Also I really hope the Vita succeeds, but I literally bought a Vita for PSO 2 and I've been waiting for over 2 years lol.. It's nice to see more games being localized here, I remember Hatsune Miku was from Sega which helped the Vita a little



 

Are you actually complaining that the western white PS4 doesn't have an ugly Destiny logo on it?

The first time the west lucks out on a bundle and people are whining.
