Gamefly sent me Dragon Age for 360 this morning, so maybe tomorrow I'll get to play it. To be honest, I have no clue why I even put it on my list as I don't want to play anything that's similar to Baldur's Gate 2 or any other old PC western RPG, and it doesn't have easy achievements either.

I guess because of how great western rpgs have been this gen, taking the crown away from Japan, I subconsciously want to give it a chance and want to like it. Doubt I will though :\

"... taking the crown away from Japan..."

And that's your opinion. Everyone has different tastes, and just because you don't like Japanese RPGs, it doesn't mean that they are bad.

Just like you prefer Fallout 3 and Mass Effect over Japanese RPGs, a lot of people (me included) prefer Tales of Vesperia, Mario & Luigi or Final Fantasy over Western RPGs (hint: I'm not saying that those games are bad, of course not... in fact, those games are great).

Hey I'm just going off of sales and reviews, western rpgs are on top this gen. It's irrefutable. Doesn't mean you can't still like jrpgs, just saying that they've been taken down on the consoles.

Well, you wanted proof other than me thinking western rpgs are better..so I gave the only other 2 peices of proof there are, sales and reviews. What else could I do?

Tmac, that's a logical fallacy. Just because more people bought something doesn't make it better than something else.

More sales mean more people are interested in the game/like the game. Reviews mean the critics like it/dislike it.

There's no other way other than finding every single person who plays games and asking them, which no one does.

Just because more people are interested in a game doesn't make it better. That's another appeal to majority. Citing reviewers is a fallacious appeal to authority.

You can call it that all you want, while jrpgs continue to get crushed in sales and get mediocre to bad reviews...and as Japan's entire games industry continues to shrink and shift to handhelds. How much more proof do you need?

I upvoted Fernando. Yes, it felt wrong, but given my only other choice was tmac, I think I'm justified in my decision.

Still, I need some anti-bacterial soap...

I'm just saying that it makes sense for Western RPGs to be prominent this generation, especially when you consider that there haven't been many releases of Eastern RPGs in the states compared to last gen.

With the exclusion of games like X-Men Legends, Morrowind, Jade Empire, Fable, and the KoTORs, Eastern RPGs dominated the US market last gen. This gen we have high profile sequels to these RPGs, but less Western RPG releases on home consoles, it's easy to believe that Western RPGs are dominating.

Plus, you have to consider that the marketing budgets of Western RPGs compared to Eastern RPGs are totally different. How many commercials for Persona 4 did I see? None. How many commercials for Fable 2 did I see? A bazillion.

Well personally I think Mass Effect is a poor example of a Western RPG. It could barely be called on at that. And the sidequests...were some of the most basic things I've ever done.

I'm hoping Dragon Age is a step away from this non-sense, which it looks to be.

Nothing for me this week. I will probably pick Rabbids Go Home later, at $20.

But in two weeks, God of War Collection and New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

How come the 360 version of Borderlands sold out? Is it better or is their target audience just on the console more?

Dragon Age for the PC for me this week.

Also Amazon screwed my order for Borderlands and that didnt get shipped till late last week so Im expecting that this week as well.

I no longer play demos on any system, not only do they ruin part of the final release but I also don't have enough time to play my full games let alone demos.

I know what you mean about not having time....this holiday's release calendar was starting to depress me b/c I knew it would take through sometime mid-next year for me to finish just the holiday releases I wanted.

I thought Rabbids Go Home came out last week..?

That's the only game on the list that I'm really interested in, but I'm not buying any more games until Black Friday sales, methinks. Hell, I have too many games already to play through!
Although if I could get my Wii online ever, I'd definitely buy Fighting Street. I've never played the original Street Fighter, but I've always wanted to. Of course, it would be preferable if it was the arcade version, but alas...VC Arcade in partcular is yet another (consistently ongoing) area where NOA greedily sucks down dolphin penis.

I'm also curious to see how Style Savvy on the DS sells, too.

Beats me. It stopped going online about 3 or 4 months ago. I can get every other wireless device in my house up and running, so I'm kinda wondering if it might be that my Wii's wi-fi chip may have shit the bed.

Get the Wii Ethernet Adapter... you can get one for as low as $11, new. Or just call Nintendo and tell them about your problem.
