[Fenrir]

About half of the games on that list are obscure Jap fetishes and most likely will be utter crap.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

You're not a fan of Super Robot Taisen?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Or Gyakutensaiban 4?!?!?

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Oh man, I didn't even see that one, I should have used it instead

 

[Fenrir]

Me can't stand Furai no Syren long time.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

OH! Well I see Yakuza gets a sequel but not Shenmue?!?!

**** you, Sega Sammy! **** you to the plains of despair!!!!!!

 

[Fenrir]

Can't they at least publish like, a comic book or novel or something to wrap the Shenmue saga up? Sega bailed out at the last minute just when things were starting to get interesting.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

I'm going to kidnap Yu Suzuki and force him to tell me how it all ends.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I'm going to kidnap his family just incase he doesn't value his own life (He obviously doesn't since he didn't make a third Shenmue).

 

[Extromaniac]

That whole list is made up of a bunch of overhyped, or obscure and potentially ****ty Japanese games. That list is a travesty. Blue Dragon being 3rd, or not.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

But it beat MGS4 and Zelda. In Japan.

 

[Extromaniac]

Yes, I see that. That's awesome. Except for the fact that the rest of the list is utter ****.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Let's give credit where credit is due to Blue Dragon.

 

[Extromaniac]

Let's give credit where credit is due to Blue Dragon.

I am, I think that it's pretty amazing that Blue Dragon is being much more anticipated on a Japanese site than Zelda and MGS4. That doesn't change the fact that the rest of that list is a bunch of worthless games that only the Japanese would like.

 

[Boom]

It doesn't surprise me. There hasn't been any goddamn thing for MGS4 since mid-September.

Well that's Japan's fault. Not Blue Dragons!

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Top Ten what?

BTW, that was a month ago.

 

[Extromaniac]

Well that's Japan's fault. Not Blue Dragons!

I'm not saying it is. Blue Dragon probably is going to be a pretty good game. It just is in a list where almost every other game is never going to be a hit or really even cared about outside of Japan.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Top Ten what?

BTW, that was a month ago.

Top ten most wanted.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I'm not saying it is. Blue Dragon probably is going to be a pretty good game. It just is in a list where almost every other game is never going to be a hit or really even cared about outside of Japan.

Yeah, but since MS has always done terribly in Japan it's a nice thing.

DOAX, the best selling Xbox game in Japan, has a sequel FAR below Blue Dragon as well.

 

[Extromaniac]

True, but I wouldn't expect DOAX to be THAT popular.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Yeah, but that's the best selling Xbox game to date in Japan. With Blue Dragon clearly being wanted more by several slots, even beating out some popular-assed games, it's a HUGE jump for Xbox popularity in Japan.

 

[Extromaniac]

Then again, this isn't a gauge of JAPAN as a whole, but one fan site.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Famitsu is a magazine.
