What’s up Drakol, so what band/song is in the intro?Is it from an actual band or soundtrack from a game?
How do you manage to play games that are all in Japanese while not being able to understand any of it?I can barely get to the 2nd or 3rd screen on making a Japanese account for PSN.Lol.
Now on to the game.The characters look like a bunch of wimps, kinda like ff12(hated the main character in ff12).Japan needs to learn how to make characters.They usually end up looking like emo’s or wimps.The Americanized characters are always funner to play.(Kratos, Drake)
Kratos was based off of Greek mythology, but besides that, I like the culture and craziness that Japanese developers add in there games. FF, Dragon Warrior, Xenogears, Zone of the Enders, Chrono Trigger, any many other games just could never be done in such a tasteful way that Japanese devs’ have done. Don’t get me wrong, the Japanese devs’ can come up with some crazy shit, but where would we be today without them? Gaming as we know it would not even be as far in development as it is if it wasn’t for Japanese gaming. Does the NES ring a bell?
Kratos was from Greek myth but I’m talking about the developers here.American developers made kratos an insane killer with an `i dont give a shit` kind of attitude.If japan made kratos then he wouldn’t be a badass, he would be some kind of coward.The main character in ff12 sucked man.He was a wimp.If the main character was that trator or sky pirate it would of been awesome.
Your right, Japan can come up with some crazy shit.(Tanticle porn)lol, hows that for crazy
Dude, you obviously don’t know anything about Greece and its history. Ever watch the movie 300? That was based on actual events,, sure it wasn’t exactly like that, but just like the 300, GOW is based in that greek mythology with Kratos playing as the Ghost of Sparta. Spartans were the craziest sons of bitches on this planet. They went up with odds against an enemy that were a million to 1. Glory was death in battle for them. Kratos is something that only Sparta could ever take credit for. Not some sorry ass american developers that just tell a story based on that mythology.
The song in all my vids is from E-Type, a Swedish techno/rock band. They’re pretty cool and I’ve been listening to them since the late 90’s.
Thank you for your input! I really liked the variety of characters and attack patterns that they have. It really stands out against the Warrior series (Dynasty and Samurai).
I know about all that shit but my point is that the american developers make more badass characters and japan makes the emo’s.America and Japan have different idea’s for personallities.Japan’s personality for characters tend to be a lot deeper than americas.(ex, master cheif)
Okay, that sounds like I’m hating so here is another way to say it.America’s characters tend to be badass and plain while japans characters are usually unique, strange and have a deep personality.
I can name 10 japanese characters that are way more bad ass then Master chief. Auron, Bowser, Samus, Ganon, Sin, Ject, Bonk, Ryu Hayabusa( NES days Ryu), Blanka, Mario(could totally beat Master chiefs ass). I could go on and on, but you would still say America is the best when it comes to making characters for games. I think you have a very closed mind. Now since you went there with the America has the best devs comment. Name at least 10 American made video game characters that really have had an impact in the gaming industry.
@Drakol
Tekno huh?Cool.I’m more into classic metal.The number 1 band in my opinion is Iron Maiden followed by Judas Priest and they’re still going strong after 30-35 years.Now that’s dedication.Sorry for the multiple posts but I wanted to respond to your comment.
@DragonWarrior4
Okay, I don’t want to turn this into an argument.I’m not claiming anything but it just sounds to me that Japanese games tend to be more creative with their characters.I’m sure I’m wrong though but that’s what I notice more but it’s probably because America focus’s on shooters and they don’t leave much room for personality while japan focus’s on rpg’s which are 30-40 hours long and leave a lot of room for personality.
Hahahah, im not arguing with you. I just wanted to know all about these american characters that are ruling the gaming over world. Its all in fun,, I really wanna hear what you gotta say, I don’t criticize peoples opinions if they are legit. Whatever comes from your heart is real. But placing facts is a different story and thus can be judged by anyone who has knowledge in the matter..
Also,, don’t even say marcus phenix. Hes a bad ass, but my pinky toe has more personality then him. He reminds me of my grandfather. He yells and screams, and could be very dangerous with a gun that had a chainsaw. Other then that, he’s lame. Just my opinion of course. So ya,, back on the subject. Name 5 characters that are american made that have a strong influence on the gaming community. I can name one. Raziel from Soul Reaver.
I might be wrong on that one,, how bout ,,, ummm,, man all I can think of is Kratos.
Ha, you made my point with Marcus fenix.I said American developed characters tend to be more badass but usually don’t have much of a personality.As for the top 5, like I said I’m most likely wrong but Characters like Vaan in ff12 ruin the whole JRPG experience for me but cloud was awesome.So is Snake.So there you go, I guess I’m wrong but with shity characters(persona 4, ff12, most ds rpg’s)over shadowing the badass japanese characters it gives that impression.
Hold on,, I know your not talking shit about DS rpg’s. Dragon Warrior 4 and Chrono Trigger are the best rpg’s ever made.. Sales of these games obviously agree with me. I do agree about FF12. Actually every game from Squeenix since FFX-2 sucked.
After square and enix merged they started living off of their name and there was no competition so until another Japanese developer come along square is just gonna keep living of of their name.Square knows they are the only ones right now so hopefully level5’s White knight is successful and force square to put some effort into their games.Shit is this ever off topic.
