Well, sort of.

The ramen culture/industry is strong and that is very good for you. Fiercely competitive too so there's lots of great places to try.

Seafood is expensive no matter where in the world you go. Despite the image of Japanese food overseas as "sushi" it is actually mostly limited to special occasions; like, you would go to a restaurant to eat it. Plenty of other meats, vegetables, grains, etc. in the normal Japanese diet.

I don't know if it's the same show but I was watching something similar a couple years back and the investors can be really brutal (but logical).

Just now? AC has been an annualized franchise since AC2.

Can anyone recommend some more exclusives? I'm primarily a PC gamer who bought a 360 last after PS3 and Wii, so I'm wondering what to get. I've already played most of these games years ago.

I'm surprised FFXIV made it onto this list given it's so recent, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how good the game is. It's a very solid MMO. Of course, you have to be into the genre to enjoy it but that goes for any game.

"Not one game in the past 5 years pales in comparison."

Boobsplosion.

Well, it's an arcadey shooter not unlike CoD or Unreal Tournament. Either that's your thing or it isn't.

It's almost as if people aren't allowed to play more than one space game!

Mobile space is already SATURATED with games like this. But the fact (and cause) is, they do make money. Sigh.

The entire premise of Battlefront was "Battlefield Star Wars" from the very start, so what's your problem?

Unlikely - Japan has a "birth rate issue" in that their total fertility rate is alarmingly below the replacement rate of 2.1 even compared to other developed nations. Their population is shrinking and having a problem with a large elderly population and relatively few young people to support the economy.

When you spend that much time and commitment on a game it's less of a "hurr stupid microtransaction F2P" like you're writing it off as, and more of a real life competitive hobby.

And here, we observe a fanboy in its natural habitat.

No matter how clean you are, roaches can be a big problem if you live next to someone with a roach infestation.

Oh. I can't read. -_-

There is enough anecdotal evidence of quotas to suggest that they aren't a myth, but they don't exist in the way that people probably imagine that do. Rather than official department policy of 100 tickets a month or what have you, it's more like if you want to be promoted/noticed you'd better turn in a higher job…
