And like good lap gods the gaming media completely over looks that little fact.

Google Takuchat. You should join us.

Absolutely. That's why I'm just visiting. Posting the odd comment in defense of this or that or a low blow to EA for being EA.

It's a fuck of a lot better to play the games you like than the ones everyone else plays just because everyone else plays them.

"Because pretty much everyone gave up on the game we never once needed to increase server capacity! We basically found a way to mold the game's community to the size of our server space while maintaining the revenue of a much larger launch! Also we murder kittens!"

We are far more numerous than we are given credit for. The fact of the matter is we're not marketed to by the big, US developers because w're not everyone. We are a sizable group (probably comparable in size to RTS, space fighter sim and flight sim fans at least) but the big names in the west don't know how to target…

Yes if it wasn't for NIS I would hate this console generation so much more as an English speaker. Once I ditched my Xbox and got my PS3 I was so much happier. The lack of JRPGs on the Xbro-dude60 was terrible (though Tales of Vesperia was sweet). I'll take quirky, and colorful fan service over dark and gritty…

Your collection doesn't look that different than mine (except I don't own any of the CoD titles).

I would buy a Freespace or X-Wing vs TIE Fighter squeal in a heartbeat.

EA is terrible at anything but AAA blockbuster titles (and event hose have their own slew of issues and controversy).

I am being sarcastic. There is a demand for RTS and space sim games. The problem is that those games will never sell the same number number of units as some generic as all hell shooter. You could never make a AAA space fighter sim sell nearly as many units as Battlefield or Call of Duty, it's a matter of…

"There are far more opportunities for good games/interesting games and different types of games that way. Imagine id making a Star Wars FPS. Or maybe Telltale doing an adventure game. How about a Homeworld-esque RTS? EA can make these types of games, but they don't have the caliber of studios in each area."

That would require giving money to EA and that's something I simply refuse to do. I'll just have to leave it to my imagination.

Please they won't revive X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter. That's a space fighter simulator (not a shooter) and as we all know nobody buys those games (because no buddy sells them).

The polish of a AAA game costs too much.

Great! Now when they finally do make Battlefront 3 it'll be safe, soulless and over bloated with micro transactions! I would suspect the instant action will probably also be cut (that or the AI will be utterly retarded).

Here's how people in marketing actually think.

Does Fox not know how much money the gun manufacturers and US Military get from many of the most popular shooters? Do they not know all of the free advertising gun manufacturers get by basically having product placement in every shooter ever made?

Especially if the goal is photo realism (which for nearly every western studio it is). I think the biggest improvement might be we'll see wider color palettes and less brown washing. Supposedly the reason for those color filters had something to do with lighting and processing power so we might see less bland as sin…

Is there any reason why these violent video game bits never use examples from the rest of the world outside of America? Like how in European countries or Australia which has the same games and movies we do they seem to be able to keep their crime violent rates nice and low?
