quite easy when you've never owned a console

Did you even have the the option to play or buy them in Lesotho? I know outside the US/EU and Japan it can be slim pickings.

no, electrical power was only when the generator was on rofl. but I left lesotho at 7.

no console living in NA until 12 anyway. My primary exposure to consoles was my roomate in kenya with a gamecube (dam i played a lot of smash).

I want to build a PC for that and Witcher 3. Plus I think I will make a Phantom Pain thread because there is none and the Ground Zeroes thread no longer is for the purpose. I know there is a decent population of MGS fans on the Liquid pages so I think we can get some discussion working.

It all started with him just writing he didn't know much about valve and steam because well, PC gaming isn't big in japan.
Which led to his hilarious response.

His twitter is actually golden.

Yeah, how do people not know that Japanese PC gaming isn't a thing? If you're going to be qualified to write about games online you should at least know some bare generalities about worldwide game trends. It's like claiming that Western Superiormoba teams are racist because they keep hiring Koreans.

Ignorance or projecting.

Well, it all but proves that the one writer there is an irredeemable fuckwit. Not even bothering to research... I mean, it might have been cool if he/she turned it around into an educational article about Japanese gaming. Like, "This amazing Japanese designer is totally unfamiliar with PC gaming and Valve... why is this normal for Japan?" and gone on to talk about consoles, arcades, and maybe even gone so far as to explain that PC games are generally thought to be H-games over there. It would be a neat introduction to a different style of video game culture.

But of course he/she didn't fucking do that.

Like half of his games are on PC as well though, and there are some pretty good ones. Not even mentioning emulators. And Resident Evil is still Resident Evil.

Would he get more views if he did that? If he isn't already aware of it.

i think its just an if function

but not necessarily

japan has had a PC MMO scene, but it's associated with NEETs and degenerates just like eroge, i think... that's my impression from welcome to the NHK!, at least. they also had a few console MMOs, like phantasy star online and FFXI... console and arcade games are definitely the more socially acceptable ones there.

I'm really looking forward to open world stealth, some of the crazy potential tactics you can use (putting C4 on the Jeep then launching it up with Fulton to destroy a helicopter is one example) and MGO3.

I looked up the article and the title sucks(and was changed by their head editor), but the content is pretty interesting. Apparently Japan's version of steam is just the US version with a couple tweeks. Japanese characters don't work in the search and only 105 game of 1700 are translated in any way. So unless you read English really well, the system is pretty useless in Japan. Its sort of the reverse of when people used to import crazy Japanese games back in the 90s. The author lives in Japan and uses their version of steam.

But that title is fucking garbage and way to aggressive.

These are the kind of things that sound really cool, but I will never actually use ingame.

I have a soft spot for MGS because they are so fucking crazy and know it. The new one has a flaming sky whale and I don't know how you beat that with an M-4 Carbine. And I love that they are putting in an upgrade system for the cardboard box. That's the exact type of stupid I want in MGS.

MGS is just kind of an anime take on espionage type gaming. Like if you stand back and look at the plot, it really feels like an anime.

which is fine its super cool.
