Oh I know how xenophobic Japan is. They're one of those countries where people will smile and act friendly to your face, but talk tons of shit as soon as you turn around. Of course that isn't everyone in the country, but yeah it's pretty prevalent, from what I've been told.

My point is that, when I was waaaaay younger, well before I did any kind of research on different Asian based alphabets and languages, I could tell at a glance when I was reading Korean as opposed to Chinese or Japanese characters. I might not have known which language belonged to which country, but the structure of…

But Dark Souls came out multi-plat for both 360 and PS3 on the same day, your example is not helping your case. And the game before that "Demon's Souls" was an exclusive that never made it to PC or any other platforms.

Publishers have 1st party development teams for a reason. Ratchet & Clank were never going to come…

I really don't think comparing 2ch outrage to an entire country getting up in arms is accurate. That's like saying the members of 4chan represent the entirety of the U.S.

A 12 year old can tell the differences between Korean and Japanese characters, if they just use a tiny bit of brainpower and note the differences in them..

They are assuming she doesn't know the difference though. Who's to say she didn't do that shit on purpose to get some publicity? People the world over are incredibly gullible.

And people say that Americans are racist... damn.

Who cares what language is on her clothes? I can wear a t-shirt with Russian Cyrillic Script on it, here in the U.S. and no one is going to accuse me of confusing America with Russia. Just because someone is visiting a country, that doesn't require their wardrobe to be…

It's happened since the NES days. When SNES came out, the NES kept cranking out games for a good two years. And that pattern has repeated to today. Which is how I can tell when I'm conversing with really young and naive gamers. Anyone who's been through a few console gens should know this.

you JUST contradicted yourself. Exclusives are bad, but competition is fine? How the hell do you think game publisher's compete with one another. Do you also feel Mario and Zelda should be on every system? Because its not fair otherwise? Grow up.

I would be ok with FROM releasing an Armored Souls series with high fantasy mecha combat. Lol

You must be pretty young. Gaming exclusivity is nothing new. That's kind of the point of 1st party development.

Thanks, I might finally give it a shot. Came close a few times now.

Was To The Moon decent in your opinion Kirk? I read pretty mixed things about it. I don't mind slow, story heavy games with little action, as long as the story isn't too hokey or poorly told.

Hah, I knew some asshole like you would bring that up. Wow, you really believe every rumor you hear don't you? No, I was not let go for posting anything to any websites at any point in my career. The incident you are probably referring to was a case of being let go, because both of my projects were cancelled, and I…

There was no phantom pooper at Sony in 2003. And no if I was that person, I'd be working for Two Girls , One Cup, not doing QA.

NP, live and learn and all that.

This game was like specially made for me. It fits all my little check boxes... quasi-realistic Steampunk technology, supernatural elements, tasteful costuming, atmosphere dripping from every pore, fun, visceral weapons, and a nice variety of Victorian era environments. If I wasn't already getting a PS4 for Project…

Yep in the Bay, and I know what you mean about being "too verbal", but that is not the case with me. The only time I mention things like that is in the proper time and place for it, such as when we meet with our HR rep to discuss our career trajectory, or in a private one on one meeting with my lead. I know better…

OMG, I get to play as a wild cat? My girlfriend and I will be fighting over the controller lol.

Hmmm... I suppose that is true. I don't think a single other generation lasted almost ten years.
