There have also been a huge number of well-made western games with actual good production value as of late. I blame the Xbox as a large factor in this.Quote:

God, that's exactly how I am now. This year, I have bought one game: Morrowind. I'm looking forward to 2 more: Fable and Halo 2. I've sold all of the stuff I bought to be "hardcore": IIDX, NUON (although I needed a DVD player at the time, so I benefited from it), and all of my other random accessories. The only one I have ever regret selling is Samba de Amigo. That game was awesome.
I agree with the mods comment, too. Nick has always been cool.
North American and European developers are now destroying Japanese games and their outdated, limited game mechanics and scope. I'm glad the faggot-chan mentality is near dead.
I have noticed the change over time at TNL. A while back it felt like I had to try my hardest to make such a Japan-centric crowd respect Western gaming and not believe that gaming went to shit with the shift to 3D. Now, I don't feel like I have to.
I would like to see more threads on the import scene here though.
I find myself wanting to get into film and movies more then gaming, so for the price of one game I can get 4 DVDs. 3 if they're brand new releases... and I usually watch them 3 times minimum, so it's not a viable solution for me. I buy a game when it tickles my fancy but nothing more.
Is there even anything worth importing anymore?Quote:
