If I was stuck on a dessert island with a Candy Girl, and if there truly was nobody else around, I think I would be playing with Candy Girl more than the games.

Japanese, without a doubt. I've always enjoyed Japanese games much more than "Western" games. The story lines and gameplay have always been better, IMO. However, I will say that I prefer "Western" FPSs.

Until the advent of Wii, to me Japanese games are generally 不求上进, you get plethora of clones and improvements are usually marginal with new games, main reasons - the lack of flexibility of the Japanese themselves and the limitations of consoles instead of PC as platforms.

That is a question I always wanted to answer to. Thanks for asking!

Well, I was immersed in japanese games since I was a kid (I began with a NES, discovered each first entry of a worldwide series such as The legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Mega man, Castlevania, Kirby (yup, even the pink puffball)... (Needless to say I am a sucker concerning crossover games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee)

I would also say that I am quite on console game mode only. However I may quit soon as I am not having much interest in the new generation of systems.

To return to the main subject, there are great games made by "occidental" studios: Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Splinter Cell, Half-Life and Counter Strike, God of War to name a few...

My tastes? Manga rather than comics, anime rather than cartoons and japanese games over american ones.

This would be self-explanatory enough...? (But I know that western game players would feel the same about their tastes.)

And no, I am not judging which one is better than the other. It is merely a refection of my own personal tastes.

Oh yes, Warcraft III was a gem too.

Ah, and another little "Ewww...!!" for Candygirl while I am at it.

I could tell my own personal story of videogames (I just finished an assignment on it tonight by the way!) but I'm sure no one would care about it ;)

American/european games have become too mainstream, not enough hardcore pure games are being produced. Japanese game designers are far more creative with video games, my absolute all time favourites are Viewtiful joe & fire emblem.

Definately Japanesee games, I bought my playstation 2 because of MGS, and I'm intending to get PS3 immediately when MGS comes out again.

Considering the fact that on a deserted island there wouldn't be any internet connection, I wouldn't be able to play those awesome mmorpg like World of Warcraft. Otherwise, it would be okay to be stuck on an island and just play an mmorpg for the rest of your life. LOL

Even though there are many western game than Japanese ones, the Japanese games are more enjoyable and have longer playing time and replay value. One example is Final Fantasy X. Took me several weeks and have yet to finish it.

I would easily choose Eastern games over the other. Why? Because I like how most eastern games concentrate hugely on the story and development of the characters as opposed to most Western games. Also, eastern games are more fun to play, well for me that is. :D

Japanese games without giving it a thought.

I had American systems when I was in high school was quickly bored with the games. My freshman year in college I worked in a game shop that rented games. I bought a Japanese game system, and the rest is history...

Commodore 64, I had one of those too. You would get towards the middle or end of the cassette and get an I/O error and have to start over... doh! I remember my Franklin the most. It was an Apple ][ clone.

Well Western games are more have the spotlight as people around the world would recognize the product while as for Eastern/Japanese games it's usually focus to those who started of with playing consoles since the Nintendo/Sega era. But when it comes to storyline, like yeah I do like Eastern concept while if you just wanna get some good butt whippin' I guess I'll go for the West. That's just how it is now.

Each zone has it's difference type of game, as of eastern games like japanese and korean center more around rpg or mechas like final fantasy, armored core, gundam....... As for Western games there are the fps who rules (for me) Unreal tournament, Counter Strike and the rts like warcraft, starcraft...... I like all, I love final fantasy but sometimes I need to release stress in a good UT match

I see that some people here are prejudiced, saying that Japanese games are inspired etc, but that's actually not true since loads of Japanese are uninspired crap with shitty stories. For example: Role Playing Games, 2D beat em ups, Dynast Warriors, mecha games, oh and let's not forget the HUGE amount of shitty adult games. Hell, I don't even see a original game such as Little Big adventure (This game NEEDS a third part!) and Assasins Creed coming from a Japanese developer! Japan is even more game sequel crazy than western country games (The only western sequel crazy company is EA and there are more in Japan)! I'm not saying that western games are inspired, because it has a great amount of uninspired MMOFPS, FPS and MMORPG, but do not forget that Japan also has an great (Maybe even more than Western countries) amount of uninspired games that can be best used as frisbees.

As for the question, I'll take a western game, because more western games have a higher replayability than Japanese games.

Since the most of the good games in the genres I love (RPGs and Fighting) come from Japan, I'll definitely go with the Far East. The only West games I've truly enjoyed lately are sports games (Madden & NBA Live) and maybe the occassional Star Wars game (KOTOR is awesome).

Stuck on a desert island with Candy girl huh? I choose Eastern Games!!
DS with "Doki Doki Majo Saiban" I will play with candy girl too...

Well I prefer Japanese/Eastern Games even if there are comments like "there a lot of sequals and same old genres". I dun seen many new inspired new games from the west same old war shooters & mediocre characters designs. The Eastern/Japanese games have a more appealing artstyle and characters.
Plus there is eroge... i wont get into that... ^^

Also Generally Eastern Games appleal to the west as well not the other way around :)

But having said all that, i do enjoy some Western games like Diablo, Warcraft and the C&C Series. And RESISTANCE has a more interesting story, compared to Gears of War :P

Most peopl fail to realise that apart from EA Games & Infinity Ward (the dudes who made Call Of Duty series)
& maybe a few smaller companies which will sooner or later be bought out by EA (since EA did buy out pretty much everything including Infograms:- who made a lot of stuff for the Windows 98 platform & codemasters:- The guys who made TOCA touring cars also for the windows 98 platform) even as we speak I will bet that EA sports is secretly planning to take over then whole of the WESTERN gaming industry as we know it & make it into some sinister evil looking creature like a.......cat

& then you will have japan with all her programmers that will continue to write great games & compete against the evil sinister creature otherwise know as EA games which will be reaching for world wide monoplisation of the gaming market. & I once saw in a documentary that some japanese software programmers dont get paid a lot so they go work in america (it was either about China or Japan but it was definitly one of the two)

Japan will ALWAYS produce great games, I have faith in japans programmers. they will always try to push bounderies to try & get the best out of everything graphics or game play wise.but saying that.....

Im a man & man has needs.....I'l take a candy girl please!

Japan will ALWAYS produce great games, I have faith in japans programmers. they will always try to push bounderies to try & get the best out of everything graphics or game play wise.but saying that.....

Im a man & man has needs.....I'l take a candy girl please!

Most peopl fail to realise that apart from EA Games & Infinity Ward (the dudes who made Call Of Duty series)

I would definately choose Japanese made games, because if there was a new Zelda game, Japan would get it first and i wouldnt have to wait :D

But in general i find Japanese games are better made, and there isa wider choice, but don't get me wrong, i love my western games aswel ^_^

Eastern Games, definitely! Resident evil/ Biohazard, MGS1,2,3 and 4, final fantasy, the list goes on - Eastern games companies take games more seriously because its a lot more culturally accepted, whereas western games tend to be much of a likeness to one another.

Is'nt this a Otaku Port site? Then more users would probably choose Eastern (which happens to be...)

I myself chose eastern gaming because the game materials and such. For example, Digimon/Pokemon, Majority still love 'em, and that its produced from Japan which means imports and such, more love that style (like Anime) the more to lean to Eastern game right? (I'm wrong at the same time, D: )

But still, Majority likes western games also. Such as Warcraft, I still play it. Going to hook up with others and do battle (tonight).
But hey, a poll is just peoples opinions D: (dude..I'm digging a hole for meself lol...)

Anyways, No arguement here, GO EASTERN GAMES! (Love the story line in the games :D )

Wouldn't Candy Girl eventually melt in the hot island sun? I guess you'd have to keep her in a nice shady spot under a palm tree. I'm actually curious how many changes, if any, happen when a Japanese game gets localized for English speakers. For example, is what Yuna and Co. saying in Final Fantasy X in English exactly the same as what they're saying in the Japanese version, or did they "Westernize" the dialogue to appeal more to English-speaking people? I sometimes wish that they would include a dual language option on video games so you can choose what vocal you want to hear (similar to most North American DVD anime releasees). The only game I remember where you can change between Japanese and English dialogue is Soul Calibur II. I would've loved to play Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts in their original Japanese voices with subtitles. I'm actually hoping that if they ever bring Super Robot Wars Original Generations for PS2 to the US, that they keep the hot-blooded Japanese voices intact.

CyberSynaptic,
Dont know about FF but the PS3 allows you to set your locale for menu options. If the producer included Eng and Jpn tracks then you would be able to choose.

SG,
I guess it was an unfair question ^^;

Hayden, Akiraman, Adenread, Idolfan,
I see you need more Candy Girl coverage - more soon ^^;;;

The wrinklyninja,
Is your avatar a picture of you? ^^;

Anjerasu,
Been waiting for your kabuto cosplay pics for ages.

Edward,
I/O error - I remember that!

Alafista,
This dessert island will have a 1G internet connection ^^;

Jorge,
It was more of a question of what you personally prefer...

Doc,

This one is a no brainer, the greatest games to come out of Japan (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid) are some of the best titles ever created or conceived.

There is a consensus in the west that games should be developed for the hardcore gamer, however Nintendo for the past decades has released easy-to-know titles that you can relate to- say Zelda. Anything fun to play, that is usually out of Japan will become a smash hit with the west, because it is new.

Don't get me wrong though, games like God of War and a few others (Tom Clancy games) are some of the creme de la creme of Western developed games. I hated World of Warcraft (and try to avoid most MMORPGs since today most of them are cookie cutter, and allow little freedom) but played Star Wars Galaxies for four years (western developed).

Japan is the land of interesting things, and out of a interesting land comes fun and creative games, at least that is how the west sees it as a general populous. Even since I was younger, Nintendo has made a name of themselves for creating fun and innovative games, even continuing flagship series that are so much fun. Kudos to Nintendo!

At Scavenger: Don't take that offensively, but did anyone really care about the story in beat 'em all (2D and 3D alike), shoot 'em ups or mecha games? It's all about destruction, let's admit it. The rest is secondary.

Some RPGs are uninspired (I would like to express myself on how much I hate FFVIII -nothing good came out of it in my opinion-), all right, but not all of them.

Eroge are basically not official games (and there are quite a number of adult games in the West too, they just are more hidden), so I feel that is out of the question.

I feel that there are more Star Wars based games than Gundam ones, seriously...

Well, I should return to Fire Emblem before anyone thinks I am prone to flaming... that I am not.

Well, it's eastern games for me all the way although i've been enjoying God of War lately. As a guy who grew up playing Sega and Nintendo consoles i just don't find FPS or MMORPGS that engaging. God of war it's a kind of game that i can enjoy because although it's a western game i think it's made with the philosophy of eastern gaming,
with cool cinematics and incredible action and in my opinion western developers lack those kind of ideas.

I dont really mind, a good game, is a good game and as long as i enjoy playing it then thats good in my books.

Although, i pretty much hate all western RPG's and love, not only Japanese, but Asian RPG's. Guess i prefer their story telling more.

Damn... was gonna say something else but its completely gone >_

A good game is a good game,it doesn't really matter where it was developed.

I personally grew up on point & click adventure games for the PC and Nintendo. So i've come to appreciate both western and eastern style of games.

If I was stuck on an island and had to pick which games i'd take thou. I'd take the entire catalogue of Lucasarts(known as Lucasfilm games back then) and Sierra's old school point & click adventure games.

Pleased to meet you Gorgo.

About the question. I prefer the Japanese. Why? There are many reasons, but my main points are that usually the storyline is so much better than western usually there's also fun details and free use of humor.

There are exceptions in western games though, Fallout series, Thief series etc. with great storylines, fun gameplay and all.

Some Japanese RPG's are palin boring though. I've never really liked the simple graphics in them, maybe because in western games the emphasis has been on the graphics and presentation.

Tough, but MGS, Project Zero series (Fatal Frame) and FF talk for themselves.

It also counts for the gameplay. I never said that it only counts for the story. SF 3 wasn't much different then SF 2 gameplay wise. SF 3 has the parry, but for the rest of SF 3: Been there, done that. Rival Schools 2 for the Dreamcast had not much revolutionary gameplay, it's about the ***** same as a SF game but this time in 3D. DOA 2 was also not much different from DOA 3.

About Star Wars. There are more Gundam games than Star Wars games and most Gundam games are the same, but Star Wars has alot more variation.

Forgot to tell that most Japanese RPG's have a bit of similar story. FE: Grandia 2 , Tales of Symphonia and La Pucelle Tactics.

At Scavenger: If you are talking about game series with not much variety and/or innovative ideas with upcoming sequels or simply the issue of the lack of consideration by companies towards gamers (in seeing them as consumers only... Especially in fighting games and the like), I am totally agreeing with you.

I grew tired of hearing about Megaman since X6 and the Castlevania series are similarly going in a dead-end fashion since Symphony of the Night (The official clones on the Gameboy Advance are not that great, maybe with the exception of Aria of Sorrow. Never tried the one on DS)...
Same goes for SNK Playmore. When SNK died, things never were the things again. Playmore just depends on the legacy of SNK that was built with time.
There are series that should come to an end, sincerely.

Concerning Grandia and Tales of... series, developers try to gain something from the awesomeness of a game (Grandia and Tales of Phantasia never got matched in that). I highly value the Lunar series because they stopped just in time).

In the same range of ideas, many say that Chrono Cross is a great game. All right, but I personally feel that calling it the sequel of Chrono Trigger is an offense (story, gameplay and system, character roster,difficulty level. It is not because you make references from another that you are a full-fledged sequel).

And yes, many good ideas have gone through time, it is harder now to find inspiration that never has been applied before. Many many games have suffered from cliché story, settings and characters. I just feel that it can't be avoided... But some just suffer from development laziness.

Finally, Star Wars games are more varied in nature, yes. Maybe this is due to the fact that Gundam is heavily (would I say exclusively?) based on the Mobile Suits?

Again, I would like to express that those are my personal opinions. Many could disagree with me, and it would be all right.

Nice debate there, Scavenger, thanks for replying.

Please read: "Things never were the same again."

Note that most of the series that emerged from the 16-bit era are suffering from a lack of innovation right now.

Metal Gear is an exception to all the points of the rule I mentioned before. Why? Because if the genius of Mr. Kojima!

If I was stuck on an island I would rather play western PC games. I've recently been addicted to World of Warcraft and it has put a stop to all the other types of gaming that I do. Even if your not having fun with the game you can get a little obsessed with improving your characters. But time does fly and your life is wasted away quickly while you play so it would be my choice if I were stranded on an island and magically had power, an internet connection but no way to call for help.

Oh my, lets not make general statements like that about America. Say "most americans" and blame the video game companies that make the horrible games, and are afraid to take a chance on something new.

Obviously all Americans don't think in ways you described. I for one prefer Eastern based titles. And the fact that Zelda(more than once) Final Fantasy, Metal Gear(multiple times) have been the highest grossing or voted the best title of the year In America, show all of us don't prefer mindless violence, and the best graphics.

If i had to choose PC(because you can't really compare it to console gaming, though thats beginning to change slowly now) I would go with western based titles. World of warcraft, the old Star Wars Galaxies, Warcraft, Starcraft, Age of Empires, Counterstrike, Half Life,Unreal it goes on and on

it shouldn't be just Japanese games. i think u shuold change into Eastern games to be precise, what about Korean or Chinese games ??

I like both western and eastern games~

hell i would choose japanese games because ARMORED CORE 4 ANSWER and ZONE OF THE ENDERS and METAL GEAR SOLID 4 and etc. are the best games that are from japan

Western for me. I can't live without Racing games (NFS for example), GTA, and God of War. Not to mention MOST FPS games are from the west.

Definately Japanese games, because there's just so much more depth to them, taking a generalization here.

Haha, my company shall be kept indeed.

Seeing I'm a RPG fanatic, I'm choosing Japanese over Western games anyday.

Japanese game...reason why? RPG!!!

THE CANDY GIRL OF COURSE

I used to love Japanese produced games, but ive been a bit dissapointed at their next-gen efforts, and the technical aspect and innovation that we have come to expect from them, has been provided by european or American games recently. Games like eternal sonata, devil may cry 4 and lost odyssey have let me down a bit.

Ive had more fun recently playing the likes of Lego star wars, Halo3, Gears of war, Project gotham racing4 and the upcoming GTA4 than i have had with japanese games.

Sure, the japanese games are KINGS when it comes to quirky games or music games (taiko, pop'n music, Katamari) but when it comes to serious games like action and driving games, you cant beat a bit of western.

JP games because they can be completely original and insane without being ironic or "in-your-face".

Anything by Treasure, really.

I'd choose western games just because Starcraft. The only game I can play for 10 years and still enjoy it.

In games, both East and West are enjoyable for me.

Japanese RPG games are the ones that got me into gaming though.

Generally speaking, I'd go for japanese games.

They tend to be more consistant in the fun factor than western games. They tend to be longer to boot. Gear of war was ridiculously short.
I'm also not a huge fan of the styles which the west excel at, FPS, MMORPGs and sandbox games like GTA.

japanese (eroge) Games + Candy Girls = Forever alone in island.. =D

If i was trapped for a short time, i would probaly chose western games, but if i was trapped for a long time i would choose japanese games.

i want to be stuck with Killzone and Armored Core..

im inbetween , but mostly leaning towards Japanese games

Killzone and F.E.A.R are the only games i want which are western

I DO indeed like many Japanese games, Lost Odyssey, LiVE for You!, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Ninja Gaiden, Ace Combat, etc.

But I think here, it's a personal preference, I tend to lean VERY much to FPS's, and RTS's, areas where Western Games excel in, I've been a fan of the COmmand and Conquer series ever since the advent of Red Alert 2, and a fan of FPS's ever since Perfect Dark and Goldeneye, and I primarily play Halo, Call of Duty, Gears Of War, Half Life, Counter Strike, Rainbow 6, etc...And, not to mention, the occasional Sandbox game like Assassin's Creed and GTA.

So, yeah, I'd be happy with Western Games, but Japanese games kick serious ass too, just that I tend to lean a little bit more to the genres Western developers excel at.

Japanese games have good gameplay, story, design, and music arrangement. While western is usually concerned with the hi-tech graphics, but their gameplay are quite various too + sometimes can be modified.

I love both of them, but of course with preferences.
FPS -> Western.
Action -> Japanese
Fighting -> Japanese
Adventure -> Japanese
Racing -> Western
RPG -> Western (yes, western. but only games like Star Wars: KotOR and Vampire: The Masquerade)

Japanese games are usually good for consoles while most PC games is good on PC.

The only thing that makes me mind about Japanese games is the language ^^; I'd think twice to play them if there's no English version is available.

I got mad love for the eastern games, but in recent years the games to impress me the most were Gears of War and Bioshock.

Right now, I would want western games I guess.

Ah yes, this ole chesnut. Well the majority of games I play and enjoy are from the east, and for that reason, i will have to say that i prefer games coming fromt he east. However, after Korea, i do believe that the west do online better. That is evident from the recent Metal Gear Online Beta fiasco where Konami had to close the european beta temporarily to fix the online services. I do also enjoy my fair share of western games, but when looking at all my games i would say that majoirty of them are of eastern origin. And my favourite ever game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is from Jaapan, so that is another reason for my choice.

So if i were stuck on a desert island, i would go for games from the east, i would also sell the Candy Girl so that i could buy myself food and water :D

If we are talking shooters I will take Western games over Japanese games hands down (Haven't seen anything better then CoD4). RPGs? That will be Japanese because lets face it, Blue Dragon freaking sucked. RTS? Western because Blizzard pretty owns it with Star Craft and they have a new one coming out. MMORPGs? The creators of these need to be shot, because those games are evil(life consuming).

I will have to say that the gaming market is getting stale at the moment with a lot of games just being rehashed with "updated" graphics.

I have to divide the question first.

Singleplayer: If theres noone else around to play, i would choose "eastern"-games. Im a big fan of games like "Disgaea" (currently playing "Agarest Senki" on the ps3) and of course the FF Series. The Second thing i really like are 2D fighting games like Guilty Gear.

Multiplyer: I would go with "western"-games. I played World of Wacraft 3 years and I only stopped because its too life consuming. I was a very serious player and already had Illidan on farm with my guild before i quitted because i failed at a important test. Now ive returned to FPS like the godly CoD4. I also play UT3 and CSS. But not only FPS, sometimes i like to go on epic battles with my friends on RTS games like Starcraft and atm Tiberium Wars.

so i really cant decide, and im really happy that i most probably wont have to in my life ^^

When it comes to shooters, I have a particular attachment towards Gears of War. Nothing more satisfying than actually popping someone's head off.

As for like RPGs, East totally wins against West.

Lol Western games hands down. I feel like I'm getting more of a verseral movie experience and feel more into the games. Not to say there aren't Japanese games like that, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be playing an RPG... they can have their slow points (exception being Knights of the Old Republic- best damn rpg/star wars game EVER).

Depends on what games there are... but I'll go for Western games. I have a "knack" for not comopleting Japanese games *looks away from Ninja Gaiden and Advance Wars*

Generally, I play more Japanese games than Western. But I still love Western Games. Really depends on its genre.

Anything revolving story, I will pick Japanese.

RTS and FPS, Western

I played FFXI since December 2003 till July 2007, break for like 6 months and now I'm back.... That's like my only Japanese game for the PC!! LOL

For RPGs, I prefer usually asian games(not only japanese make good games), but for action games, sure Occident is the best. I simply can`t stand the combat sistem of the occidental rpgs, it despairs me!, and is the reason why I don`t play most MMORPGS...

Well I'm following Japanese games and they got a few Gundam games I couldn't get a hold of and one they never made. They never made the Gundam RTS version which would of been interesting even if it used another games' engine. I'm finding more Japanese games out doing certain western games but there are still certain handful of good western games in my interest.

It depends on each ones tastes, there are people that prefer hardcore games like FPS and RTS so go Western, others like RPG and adventure games so go eastern. Me I like almost all sorts of games and I play almost everything apart from the Wii which I don't like, so I'm not voting in the poll because I love both East and Western games.

West for shooters. East for RPG's.

While I do like Japanese RPGs and simulator games, Western classics like the point and click adventure games by Lucas Arts, the Sam and Max series, first person shooters from Valve, platformers by Insomniax and Naughty Dog, etc etc just hook me in much much more. I liked the Nippon Ichi games I've played, but whatever Japanese games that did not suffer from graphics deficiency (and was a grindfest) suffered from overblown graphics and clunky and poor gameplay. Maybe it's an Azn thing to focus on what image you project rather than content.

Asked this question 10 years ago, I would've said Japanese. But nowadays, the quality of western games have gone up considerably, and I wouldn't ind being stuck with those. A good JRPG cannot best a Bioware/Black Isle epic.

Woot, Commodore 64. I played one of those when I was like 3.

I'd pick Japanese games because It'd take me years to get through all the Final Fantasy games, not to mention Gran Turismo and Kingdom Hearts, which are just a few of my all time faves.

Eastern games. I do play Call of Duty 4 and things like that, but the majority of fighting games such as Street Fighter are from Japan. On top of that Final Fantasy...and definitely Monster Hunter series. Can't live without Monster Hunter. Bought a PSP for it. Buying a Wii for it. Yeah, I'm addicted to Monster Hunter...

For every Western sports/FPS title, there's an Okami or a Pikmin.

For every Eastern brain improvement/mini-game compilation title, there's Portal or a Crush.

Holy cow, I think your question just made my brain split in half.

I do love me some good Japanese games, but you just can't beat the combined might of the Halo and Half Life series.

Read a fairly recent article with a similar topic on Kotaku comparing Japanese's current technology vs. US' technology on the consoles. You can find it here: http://kotaku.com/380213/japanese-tech-is-not-behind-western-tech

In fear of leaping into an emerging flame debate, here's a little throwback to the history games --

It is sad that the two different societies have pigeon-holed themselves into only delivering games in specific genres. Unfortunately this still remains true today. At the very least one would expect that they could excel in the very genres that they have trapped themselves in?

The gaming industry as a whole continues to be swallowed up following trend after trend after trend. "Next Gen" consoles are of no exception; the same could be said for their "next gen gaming" software.

After the extinction of important consoles such as Dreamcast and NeoGeo, there has been less and less genuinely solid gaming. Take for example at all of the original makers for some of your classic games (e.g. Capcom's Street Figher, Final Fight, Breath of Fire, Rockman, Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden, Konami's Gradius, Dracula [Castlevania], Contra, or SNK's King of Fighters to list a few). Nowadays those creators have retired and moved on. I can name probably only one developer who still remains in the gaming industry -- Keiji Inafune, the creator of Rockman.

Recall back and compare from pre-21st century to the post. Significant improvements for games overall have been much too little. We're in a gaming recession. Well, we have been for quite some time.

Ill take both. @DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU GETTING FINAL FANTASY XIII???????????????????????/

Hey Danny, you're the 2nd Brit(former) that i know of that actually started out with the Commodore 64K. I would have thought you guys in Britain would be more into Sinclair Spectrum as i did with my Spectrum 48K even though i'm a SIGAPORU Jin desu.

Anyway, Both eastern and western game have good and bad ones, you should have a 3rd option: Both for your desert island question.

I love Final Fantasy XII and School Mate and even BiKo. I felt so guilty playing a pirated version of FF XII, which was so well made, that i went out and bought the Original version and the Official game guide too.

I love my Starwars series games From the west and Civilization and especially CRYSIS! I spent SG$400 upgrading my PC so i could play GhostRecon Advance weapon, then when Crysis came along... SG$4000 to build a whole new system so i could play it in Very High setting. Not to forget the big ass 40" Samsung F8 LCD TV...

East vs West?

I say East and West.

As long as I can Play Legend of Zelda, I don't care if I can't play Halo or Gears of War. Also, Japanese games means I get to play Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior and eroge games from Illusion.

This has been a bit more one-sided than I've expected, but not necessarily in a bad way I guess.

For me it's hard to say whether I prefer Western or Eastern games; both have their own styles. The Japanese tend produce RPGs, actions games, and other unusual ones such as Katamari Damacy. The West have predominated the FPS and RTS market, while they produce RPG and sports games as well. Both sides have genres that they tend to excel at.

I enjoy Japanese games such as Gundam Seed Destiny: Rengou vs ZAFT II, FFVII, and others featured on handheld or consoles, but I also enjoy Western PC games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942, and Starcraft. One thing that Western games do let me down though is that higher and demanding PC specs mean that it would be difficult for me to try out or to appreciate later games. Although I am not a fan of sports games, it is still difficult for me to choose which area to side on as I appreciate both on different aspects.

I used to wonder why FPS and RTS are not popular in Japan, so I had a small lookout for it and wrote this little article up, 'though I'm not too sure how precise this really is.

http://quentinlau.blogspot.com/2008/02/pc-games-in-japan.html

On one side note, it seems to be pretty hard to encourage a British to try out Japanese things. The British gamers I've met are mostly into FPS or racing games.

Japanese games, no question about it

Truthfully, it depends on the genre. If you're into fighting games, then Japanese. If you're into SHMUPS, then Japanese. If you're into console RPG's, then Japanese. If you're into PC RPG's, then Western followed by Korean. If you're into arcade/light racer and plane sims, then Japanese. If you're into real racer and plane sims, then Western. If you're into platformers, then Japanese followed closely by Western. If you're into Real Time Strategy, then Western. If you're into First Person Shooters, then Western. If you're into 3rd person shooters, then Western.

I grew up with Japanese games, so I would totally pick Japanese games over American made ones.

Japanese games. Hentai PC Game and a Candy Girl will be all I need, =D .

Eroge- >Japanese
Fightin-> Japanese
RPG->Japanese
Shooter-> Western
MMORPG-> Western
Action-> Western

The fact here is that westerns ussually dont create eroge, fightin or RPG games, for this reason is obvious who win.

But in Shooter and MMORPG western pwn japanese games.

Just take a look at World of warcraft, this game have around 11 million people payin 13 euro each month, think about the profits of this game and compare with any other actual japanese game.

But now i have the sensation that japanese games are running out of ideas, and now all we have is Final Fantasy('Insert number here'),Mario & Sonic goes wild, Brain Training 2011 and tons of casual games for WII and DS.

When i was in Japan the past year was shocked cos only 20% of games i saw was available in my country, the other 80% will never see the light in Europe. But was far worse for japanese cos only saw a poor representation (sims, Battlefield, Age of empires) of western videogames in japanese shops

Eastern game for sure...coz they have better story line with amazing 2D graphic...erm...basically i personally prefer 2D graphic then 3D cause i felt that sometimes 3D look a bit unreallistic

Japanese games any day ^o^
If my BF hadn't introduced me to a bunch of Western games, the only game from that side of the world I would have played would be Tomb Raider. Gears of War was fun, but sold the Xbox360. Waiting for Resistance 2 now.

...and FFXIII... its taking SO LONG!! >.<
(MGS4/MGO rocks! O_O )
