Yeah. I was just typing. Rushing something out. Should have said “critical” or something

It really depends on who you ask. Many Japanese wouldn’t even bring it up in a normal conversation but a strong conservative might. And with the media’s strong influence, moods and opinion sway with whatever is broadcast.

These photos are supposed to be of interest to gamers, right? But these photos rarely have anything to do with games.

I hope you get to go one day but honestly this photo shows nothing.Photos can be fascinating but this ain't one. You can’t even see what the shops on this street are. You’d be better off using Google.

No. It is just some street. I’ve been there and there are plenty of interesting things to take photos of. But this is a photo of a street with no descriptive characteristic. He may as well post a photo of the sky and leave the same caption.

It’s a photo of a street. Nothing if interest on it. It's an old photo as well. Why would this be of interest to anyone?

There’s no difference between MGS being a pachinko machine and it being a pinball machine

I think it’s a shame that someone could take the time to write an article about something they find interesting, get no comments, very few views and some guy from a more popular site just takes the idea, posts it on his website, gets 12k likes after doing less work than the original author.

So it’s not ok when Americans do it but it’s fine when the Japanese do it?????

Just consulted a Japanese person. They said this picture is trash and shouldn't be on a video game oriented website.

You could ask this question in any country since FF started and yiu would get the same answer. This is a pointless post and pointless survey. I'm not even going to mention the sample size.

I thought these photos were supposed to be related to video games in some way.

Trust me is even more of a con in Japan. Education means nothing. You end up in the same place either way.

Booooooooooooooring photo! 👍

Maybe I’m a dick but you’re riding his. If you can really defend a piece of shit article like this you’re a complete idiot who resorts to thought ending clauses to make an argument.

Jealous of what? Being a shit writer? Look at the garbage this guy writes. Most of it doesn’t have more than 50 characters. This website is called Kotaku and he has the best opportunity to talk about real shit in Japan. But we get this. ANYONE could have posted this. I don’t stand for shit and I’ll call him out until…

You wrote one sentence. That’s pathetic, Brian Ashcraft.

So now you just rehash old articles with new pictures??? Cornell must be proud.

How does this community let this happen? How does Kotaku let this get posted? This isn't even an article. There's no informing! It’s a waste of time and waste of internet. It’s pathetic. It’s Brian Ashcraft.
