...Really? I love Schreier's stuff. All RPG, maybe 80% Japanese.

It's odd. The most viciously abusive bosses in LO by far are the first two and the endgame stuff. After Bogimoray the scream-inducement dies off quite a bit.

Also: Yellow Band. I found it out after the fact. Makes the worms SO much easier.

How about Vesperia? Probably the best Tales game I've played.

Europe's made some fantastic games (dunno how the hell Witcher got left out of your list). Production power does not equal buying power. And nope, hardcore liberal.

This is getting rather sad. I don't hate the British. I've just pointed out why focusing on ATLUS Europe isn't exactly a good business tactic for a company…

Wow. That's a hell of a strawman you've got there.

I don't particularly hate the British. The Napoleonic complex you've demonstrated here annoys me in both Brits and Americans in equal measure.

As an ATLUS fan, I want everyone, no matter the country, to get their games. But as an ATLUS fan who wants the company to not die a horrible hemorrhaging death, I have to look…

So, you don't understand how economics works. You just want to scream your country's irrational superiority from the mountaintops.

Gotta say, you are far more of a yankee than I am.

You British are a market with limited population, a far more divided set of interests than Japan or the US, and a general investment in which making up localization and shipment costs is considered lucky.

Did you really dismiss my original reply because you're another little British infant who can't handle that the US…

What a magical and enlightening response! Now, would any European with half a brain actually like to defend the relevance of Europe from a commercial standpoint?

I always thought that that band's name was "That Final Countdown Band".

I know this will seem petty, and that is not the intent... but really, does anyone outside of Europe still care about Europe?

God, I hope this lasts.

I, too, give videogamer fucks about the ratings.

Well, shit, time to buy some old Drakenguard games.

Whoa whoa whoa. Including Nier? Please elaborate, I have suddenly developed a modicum of interest in Drakengard.

Given that P4A clearly sold the rebooted Persona brand as a tied-in series, which has had no games at all on Nintendo consoles... this seems like the second worst possible situation, right here.

First, obviously, being the death of Atlus.

So, the second, considerably shorter, paragraph. I do thank you though, since your personal-opinion-based whining is considerably funnier than the original post.

Good god, I hope not. That's as close (ie, not at all) as the gaming industry can get to Jesus being bought out by Hitler.

Nonsense. I, for one, welcome our new large-assed overlords.

The Kardashians.
