Yup, there was a fair amount of unfortunate slowdown in that title - as mentioned in my review ;-)

I agree 110%.

My thoughts too.

I've said it over and over again, I don't give a shit what sells in Japan. I mean Jesus, the Japanese aren't the last word in gaming. I realize many here use Japan as gauge to what they'll like and that's fine because ultimately what works for -you- is all that matters.

I mean, sure the Japanese love their "quewpie" games which the 360 lacks, and I'm also sure that they're more comfortable with the Wii and PS3 being from Japanese companies. But those systems don't even have games like that out yet - they're just selling on the promise of those games.

Like another poster mentioned, and I'm sure many will disagree but I think there's a lot of truth to it, the Japanese are loyal to Japanese companies so seeing the wii and PS3 outsell it is no shock at all.




Now, as much as I like Rainbow 6: Vegas, I am not the least bit surprised that Japanese gamers have no interest in playing something like that. It might be too realistic for them as they only seem to like realism in their horse racing and dating sims. Maybe if the guns in R6:V shot sunshine instead of bullets, and instead of Mexican mercenaries they were lollypops with smiley faces...

:lol: I think you're on to something. Maybe put big bouncy DOA boobs on the mercs?




Still I would love to see more Japanese-style RPGs and wacky type games on the 360.
Not so much for myself, but for the 360's success in Japan. Mostly because every console that has been successful, has been successful in Japan first. And even though Blue Dragon has helped boost 360 sales there, it's still lagging far behind.

Even if I don't care what Japanese gamers go nuts over, I don't want any system of game to fail in Japan or anywhere else. Diversity is good because it makes companies get off their asses and compete.

Really? I never got that vibe.

I played the Kameo demo and hated it.

It reminded me of Zelda-lite like Beyond Good & Evil did. :shrug:
