The Americans rule the games world. Japan used to in my books.

What i'm saying is 99% of the reviews taken into account for making up the metacritic score is from Western websites. Of course the western games will get high scores. Japan magazines/websites aren't taken into account. |
And you're proof is where ? What if those Western websites are sick of always the same Western styled games and they give the Japanese games some extra points for being more creative (or whatever) ? I have no proof for my claim and you don't have any for yours.
If you can find reviews for a game from Famitsu and 49 other Asian sources, go for it. I doubt you'll see much difference to the Metascores.

Bullshit. I never knew Irvine, CA was in France.

It's not in the United States, but is apart of North America.

God of War is an American creation, but Sony owns the company. Actually, the majority of the companies that SCE owns are American Devs. Europe is in second and Japan is in third.

In your face classical composers! You've just been marginalized! USA! USA!

A few things.
A. That was a turn of phrase, relevant to modern entertainment. It's not to say that America had any part in the creation of great music(though it did in part, with blues, rock and roll, ect), I'm saying that relevant, profitable music, comes from us, and in MODERN times, we're running the show, so while we DID NOT invent music, we certainly might as well have, as far as the profit and popularity scale are concerned.
B. Fucking Elvis.
Anyway, yes, I probably shouldn't have generalized music, as it is the most questionable of our monopolies, yet again, relevant modern music is America's stomping ground. Classical is a shrinking genre. Rap, R&B, even country and rock & roll. The casual music listener belongs to us now. You know this. We didn't invent it...but we might as well have.
Nintendo didn't invent videogames...but they might as well have.
That was my opinion. I find it valid.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm going to give music to the brits.
Queen, Pink floyd, the police, the who, radiohead, the clash, the sex pistols, led zeppelin, rolling stones, the beatles.
That's some quality music.
