Eastern or Western Games?

Postby Thoul » Wed Nov 28, '07, 4:02 am

All around the world, there are many companies that make video games in different approaches and styles. The largest concentrations of these are in the US and Japan. Do you prefer games made in the western style of companies such as Blizzard and Bioware or the eastern style of Japan-based companies like Sega and Nintendo?

I have no opinion on this subject as long as the game's entertaining. ;) But, overall, I think I've enjoyed games that originated from Japan more than anywhere else.

Oh NO! Not decisions, I've been dieing to play starcraft2 for all of eternity! But the Sega games were all so FUN! I loved them all! I shant decide against two so great!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I generally prefer Japanese games, but there are also plenty of US made games that I enjoy too.

I use to enjoy Eastern RPG's, but now I have a preference for Western games now.
