Sports/Fights/Racing: all the sequels are too similar (ESPECIALLY sports games!) In defence of MMORPG's that monthly fee is actually needed. It's used to cover bandwidth costs, the 24/7 customer support (GM's), Free Content Development (New dungeons, events, ect), Constant Patches/Hotfixes...

GTA: San Andreas. What Am I the only one who played the game for the storyline?

Sonic the Hedgehog.

Personally I hate FPS games, well except the tribes series. Why? because if you've played one 2-d FPS, you've pretty much played them all, they're just so gosh-darn samey for my taste. :( (Oh yeah, I hate Cloud too, not because he's some androgynous crazy haired freak, but because the...

Considering 1/2 of the games on the top 10 list are sequels of eachother (Screw you EA games!), I don't think that list should count.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Sweden have conscription between all males between 18-42? Compared to Japan's Self-Defence force which is strictly voluntary, that alone would make guns more exposed. Furthermore the issue is also largely cultural, and unless you can claim that your...

I totally agree, Luckily I live in Canada and our sex-ed course is thorough if nothing else. If I recall I wound up in 4-6 sex ed courses in High School, they basically all taught us the same things. They told us how sex always had the chance of getting a girl pregnant, and we learned about...

How Realistic is it to have a cyborg in a suit of armour with energy shields fighting aliens? Not Very. Probably because they were designed for the Western Market. My guess was huge timesinks or whatever, but Last time I checked Lineage 2 is doing quite well in japan. Basically...

The whole "Ultra Effeminate Males" thing is just pandering to the female demographic, much like how females in som-ALL western games have gigantic boobs and seem to only need a thong and a bikini top for protection. Having a story or a plot is important in mediums, be it tv, books, even a...

It's the Whole cultural thing regarding sex, and how uptight Americans are with regards to sex, suffice to say, American culture is rather prudish when it comes to sexuality.

I dunno, seems really Standard In shooters. So? Make a FPS that has a story that doesn't suck? Honestly I don't remember the point I was arguing for with linearity, so I'll concede that. Korean MMO's seem to do well in japan, if I recall. I might have exaggerated, but my point about...

The Japanese might be into some crazy stuff, but America's Puritan views towards sex and nudity is just as bad. (OMG GAY MARRIAGE!)

Hey you think that is crazy, you should see some of America's Crazy views regarding nudity, and the double standard with movies and video games. You could rip someone's head off, cut open the skull and eat their brains, and the movie would be rated pg-13. One topless scene on the other hand is...

I believe the tentacle thing sprung from the fact you couldn't depict a male penis in the 80's in Japan, so they switched to tentacles, to get around the censorship.

This should be good. As opposed to the overly-macho-to-the-point-of-absurdity western action heroes? (I swear all they do is eat steroids!) I agree with you on this, I love a game with a good story, I think this is universal. Ever Play Harvest Moon, or Any Animal Crossing game? I...
