*Poll*:which company and game you prefer?american,european or japanese?

American.

A lot of good games come out of Japan, but I find that some Japanese developers are just stuck in the past design-wise, and often seem to value their "vision" of what a player's experience should be over actual convenience and playability.

Also Obamunism? You live in alabama, drive a pickup don't you :|BoloTheGreat

American if you include canada in that, then europe.. and then japan (mostly capgod)

Japanese. Because most of my favorite developers are Japanese I also like developers from other regions.

European (GTA/Timesplitters/Crysis/Burnout) and Japanese (Mario/Sonic/DMC/Resident Evil)

They rule :)

I can't even name a single great game from Europe.... most games come from the USA

I prefer Japanese games since I'm pretty much the stereotypical otaku :P

If you want a reference as to what I mean by that, my personality is a lot like Konata Izumi from the anime, Lucky Star.

1) American

2) European

3) Martian

4) Soviet

5) Chinese rip-offs of American and European

6) Japanese

[QUOTE="herzalot"]I am surprised.american Dev's are losing.abuabed

My vote counts as 10, thus Japan is winning.

Japanese >>>>>>>>>> European >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> American But there are exceptions here and there of course.abuabed

I like Japanian, Americanese AND Europasian games.

90% of the games I own are Japanese. Western games just generally don't appeal to me and their art direction tends to make everyone look ugly.

But I plan to get Uncharted 2, for a change.

If you're talking about the anime/manga art sty1e then.. The eyes honestly aren't big for the body proportions, anyways, any weirdness it has is gone after a very short while.

It's really j ust the evolution of western cartoon designs from the early 20th century. ._.; ... In Japan.

Being otaku is nothing to be proud of.

Anyway all of them have good and bad point's none are better or worse than any other.

They're not effeminate at all.

I think by "effeminate" they mean pretty boy JRPG character's.

I'm just going to use this image from a manga, because the guy is feminine.

ok. but doesn't change the fact that he's effeminate. that was the point i was trying to make. japanese games are full of effeminate males, girls with massive alien eyes, and generally weird eccentric crap.

He looks like gay aladdin. He's not "effeminate," but he does look pretty gay.

The biggest problem with Vaan is his in-game upside down abs. :lol:

Edit: It's important to note that his pose has a lot to do with it. In game he just seems like a regular (annoying) young boy archetype. Sadly, he never amounts to any more than that.

Those are all stereotypes, once you've played more then 50 JRPGs and watched/read over 50 anime/manga you might have a right to say that.

But now, you don't know anything about the genre/art sty1e.
