Fez Dev to Japanese Developers: "Your games just suck."

[nando]

what's really odd is that fez looks very japanese.

 

[Gahars]

While the merits of his statement are certainly debatable, wow... what a dick.

You can't really debate it considering the Japanese effectively pioneered gaming as a whole. I mean, if you look at all the crap that pre-dated the NES, it's hard to argue that the Japanese studios didn't have a major impact in the progression of gaming development as well as a higher rate of consistency for quality releases.

 

[Hop2089]

He's has the right to STFU and STFD, he doesn't know shit about Japanese game developers.

 

[Bladexdsl]

While Japanese developers have no doubt been influential, past accomplishments and its state today (which, as I said, is very much up to debate) are two very different things.

What the fuck is Fez? Never heard of it.

This guy is a dick, all there is to say.

 

[Shinigami357]

I paused my game of FF V Advanced to read about this shithead?!? Dammit, gimme my 5 minutes of grinding back!!!

As for this Fish guy...

Great quote to be remembered by, brah. Now the Japanese are gonna eat you raw. With chopsticks.

Just meh. Japanese games tend to have good imagination and story telling (and lots of other things) while as western games tend to have a solid story and good gameplay. And vice versa. Look at games like FF, ME, AC, etc. All have good stories and are made by a variety of people. Hell AC even has a notice at the start of the game that "This game was made by people from different cultures, religions, etc". So much for generic games, hopefully that dude makes a game with just imagination. No story or gameplay

 

[FireGrey]

Japanese games are my favorite.
This guy is just being racist against the whole of Japan.
Anyway, I doubt his game(s) will be any good

 

[Gundam Eclipse]

Seeing as my mind is currently brainwashed by Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, all his arguments seem nonexistent and worthless to me D:

The only game better than Binding of Isaac that came out last year was Deus Ex.
Just because a game is made by a small team, doesn't mean it can't be excellent. I've put more hours into BOI than Skyrim, for example.

Well there's also Portal 2, Skyrim, Saint's Row 3, Portal 2, Akrham City, Portal 2, and did I mention Portal 2?

I don't care if it's indie or not, Binding of Isaac was definitely not the best game last year.

Portal 2: Dumbed-down story-centric version of Portal 1. A great game, but it could have been so much more had Valve got some playtesters with IQs above 10.
Skyrim: Fun but ultimately repetitive WRPG. Mediocre main story writing. Great side quests. Bested by Deus Ex and The Witcher 2 by far.
Saint's Row 3: Shitty lolsorandom sequel to the excellent Saint's Row 2. Tried too hard to be funny, and suffered for it. Took out everything that made Saint's Row 2 great.
I didn't play Arkham City.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all these games. I think 2011 is probably one of the best years that video games have ever had. But I found myself having a lot more fun with the Binding Of Isaac than any other game lat year, Deus Ex excluded. Even Skyward Sword, which has supplanted Wind Waker as my favourite Zelda ever.

what the hell is a xenophobe?

xenophobe, noun, a person who hates or fears foreigners or strangers


And to all those bi***ing about Japanese games being unoriginal/boring, etc, what about the two million Call of Duty or Battlefield FPS games that are released every year? We all know they're all about WWII, some generic war against aliens or have some run of the mill post-apocalyptic storyline. And this xenophobic Fez guy? He can sod off.

 

[Carnivean]

Taking half a decade to make a slightly interesting indie platformer puts you above an entire nation? Who knew.

Hum... Skyrim is an open world rpg, it's meant to be like that, it's strong point has never been the main story but rather the exploring you can do on it, there's dozens of sidequests and dungeons to explore, you won't get bored of it anytime soon if you enjoy wrpgs in general, Deus Ex was good, but the FPS view kinda ruined part of the game for me, I like the game, but I don't like the fact it uses FPS view. Saints Row 3 was epic, I didn't really like 2 but I loved 3, the characters and the new city was awesome, I spent lots of time just walking around stealing cars just to tune them up and put them in my garage. I played Binding of Isaac, it was a good game, but that's that and like you said, it's your opinion.

You're quite correct, it's all down to personal preference. I just think saying that all indie games are garbage is narrow-minded and stupid.

 

[kthnxshwn]

I don't think that's what he was trying to say.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I'd also like to point out that not enjoying a small sector of a country's culture does not make you "xenophobic".

I can't say I enjoy any music that comes out of, I dunno, France. But that doesn't make me xenophobic towards France, it just means I don't like their music.

Culture is a shit load more than gaming. Music, fashion, religion, all this stuff factors in, a lot more than gaming does.

So maybe we're all exaggerating by saying he's "xenophobic" rather than "has a shit taste in games".
