GAME: Tales of Xillia

I suppose you did, but its hard to find any info about this guy beyond a few Sega interviews or any real info to back up this supposed expose.

Maybe because there hasn't been any Japanese games as good as those games? I can't even think of Japanese game this year that's as well done and medium pushing as The Last of us or Gone Home.

Can't comment on LOU since I don't like shooters but it looks fairly similar to the rest of 'em. Gone Home though does nothing new or medium pushing it just regresses the medium like Telltale's Jurassic Park and Walking Dead did by removing puzzles and gameplay which seems like the opposite of pushing the medium I dare ask what you consider medium pushing about those games?

Arg, why is it whenever I see the term 'true gamer' an image of a person who chugs Mountain Dew and feasts on Doritos as he plays Halo comes to mind?

True gamer defined by me.

I'm sure he'd say the same thing about you and your posts, mister anonymous internet resident Think I'll side with the guy with 20+ years experience in the industry, meself.

A true gamer is one, who plays games for the essentials, such as gameplay, controls, level design and challenge. They do not care where the game was developed, what genre it is or if the story, voice acting, graphics or music is bad, as long as the game itself is good. A true gamer considers games bad if the game is buggy, glitchy, has repetitive, stale gameplay, bad controls and bad level design, not where the game comes from. That is a true gamer and this definition is 100% the truth.

Do you know what preferences and tastes are? If someone hates shooters, they hate shooters. They don't have to like a genre if they don't want to. Me I'd never play an RPG if the story was bad so ignoring the story in an RPG makes no sense.. guess I'm not a true gamer then.

LOU isn't a shooter. Guns=/=shooter. Is MGS also a shooter, by that stance? It uses guns. Guns are important. It's a survival horror, action adventure game. And even so, shooter=/=bad. Why are you fake gamers trying to undermine games from the West? If you were a true gamer, which you're not, you'd accept any games from anywhere, provided it's good. That's all the matters. Also, it's not like we haven't had horrific Japanese games. Stop being a hater and play good games. That is all.

Yep so many games deal with small family issues and lesbianism in a mature way. Isn't this the industry where you and others claim is all just shooters and what not and how US games need actual variety and different subject matter. So now a game does that and apparently thats bad why?

MGS is a stealth genre game you're actually punished for killing people in some games At least the earlier ones. LOU is very cover-based shooting like Uncharted which I think the same devs did those games as well.
