Re: Confession: Conspiracy theories you maybe kinda sorta believe... a little bit?

The only one I have -- because I'm allergic to stuff like "omg chemtrails" or "omg FEMA camps" or other Deus Ex plot bait -- is that I believe Nintendo is trying to purposely destroy Metroid so fans will stop asking for it because Metroid is more popular in the US than Japan and businesses in Japan are still chock full of institutionalized racism and xenophobia.

I'm going to tip my first fedora here.

*Tips fedora*

There goes my fed-cherry, but you truly deserved it. This was a special comment and I feel my first time was worth it.

Didn't I vote for a curfew?

You wasted your fedora virginity. This wasn't worth a fedora and you fucking know it.

Really? The whole "Judging another race and nationality based on the fact that our stereotype of them is as a race that judges other races and nationalities" doesn't seem like the exact type of pseudo-intellectual ignorance that the fedora was invented for?

Wow, I always thought Dethtoll was exaggerating when he said people would make up their own justifications for hating on him, but you really pulled this one out of your ass. It also says how little you truly understand Japanese culture.

I don't get it. How was this fedora worthy?

businesses in Japan are still chock full of institutionalized racism and xenophobia

Translation "Let me show my ignorance and hatred of another nation and race by accusing them of being as racist and xenophobic as I am"

That's like saying businesses in America are still chock full of institutionalized racism and xenophobia.

As a JA I can tell you both are true.

But it's true?

Could be. The same effect really ruined any chances DMC4 had of being good. DMC3 was the first installment of the series that sold far better in overseas territories than in Japan, and instead of going "yay! foreign fans like us" like sane companies *cough*From Software*cough* Capcom went "oh no we're losing all of our Japanese fans!" and altered what was originally going to be a Vergil-centric game (the most popular character among Western fans by a landslide, but not so much in Japan) they inserted a brand new Generic Angsty Pretty Boy (Nero) to appeal more to Japanese fans, and his UBER kawaii girlfriend, who... just doesn't fit the tone of the series, at all.

Surprise, it was shit. At least, the Nero half. The Dante half was pretty fun. So half a game was shit out of xenophobic panic.

But #notalljapanesecompaies - when Demon's Souls did much better overseas than in Japan (against expectations - white people just like CoD, amirite?), From just fucking rolled with it and specifically sought foreign input for Dark Souls. And it was, frankly, one of the best games ever made, so..... ....?

Re: Confession: Conspiracy theories you maybe kinda sorta believe... a little bit?

From is also pretty small. I've noticed the effect is much much lighter in smaller companies. It helps that the Souls games are pretty western in style and affect, though.

Yeah...I actually wouldn't be surprised. I mean I think even Nintendo wants to capitalize off of their series for money, no matter where it comes from, but Japan and Korea are notoriously bad at considering their international gaming market, more than other countries.

Also I don't understand the fedora thing, or when and how it is implemented. Not a fan, not a hater, just confused.
