Koreans are still not competent at making games.

When will the Koreans (no racial or national prejudice intended) make great games that have consistently good and varied art assets, along with great CGI trailers?

When will the Koreans produce more games in genres other than MMO?

When will the Koreans write interesting lore for their games?

NCsoft should not be credited for any critical success of Guild Wars 2. ArenaNet should be and ArenaNet are Americans.

When they stop own the world in Starcraft 2 and do something else :lol:

They have a different culture and economy. Koreans don't really buy video games. They play them in cyber cafes instead.

leave them they help the economy in games like WOW and runescape

wouldnt mind if they make other genres for video games other than mmo's. the only non mmo i can think of is dj max(though their are probably other non mmo's but this is the only one i have heard of).

The single player games they make are probably only for niche local market. Had received a copy of Korean single player historical rts from my brother when I left Taiwan to Canada (during the 90s) but never enjoyed the game so I threw it away. There are plenty of Korean single player games I assume, just not ported to anywhere else like Taiwanese / Hong Kongnese single player games.

they hardly make games in korea, the only big game series that comes out of korea is the dj max series.

When will the Koreans (no racial or national prejudice intended)Ravenshout

wat

Tera is a great game, so are some other fine MMOs from Korea.

learn about Korea's culture before posting and making a fool out of yourself

I am from Seoul(completely americanized since age 6) and last I visited was when I was 17. At 17 I was partying, chasing tail, and neglecting my school work. My counter part korean cousin of the same age woke up at 7:00am, and returned home at 7:00pm to proceed towards his studies until 10:00pm in korea when I visited.

He didn't even know the name on his shirt was a band(black sabbath). He was like a drone, had no personality, and only spoke when spoken too.

But man did he **** love video games like I did. He was insane at starcraft(Its televised on 2 channels 24/7).

Sometimes it's okay for people to choose another life full of excitement and fun in the virtual world. It's just that when real life sucks that hard it can lead to some terrible consequences when your computer hub is the only saving grace for your crappy day. RIP those korean gamers and good health to the ones they left behind...

Oh yes we need to stay on topic.. um koreans are busy as **** and korean jesus doesn't have time to help them make video games they have to do korean ****

Koreans are far too busy doing really important stuff than making videogames.

The Koreans working at Blizzard are absolutely talented. If not, Blizzard wouldn't have put them in its top-tier internal CG department.

And there are more who work at other game companies in North America.

When I started going out with my gf I couldn't believe how advanced Korean society was. You may not see it being from there and surrounded by it but to me as an outsider I think Koreans are impressive. And slowly taking over the world :P

Maybe so but you already got a long response from an actual Korean and just ignored it. Their government doesn't like games all that much

One exception does not make the rule. He said they're clamping down on it more so now, before it wasn't such an issue as these days.

And it would slowly turn into western pop then and lose it's uniqueness. Just listen to B2st's new song, it sounds very americanised

I guess their definition of enjoyment differs from ours.

Also, are Korean really as fair and gentle in real life as they are on the TV screen?

I think it has something to do with the climate there.
