[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 2075805, member: 2804"] I lived in Japan and owned a Japanese PS2. I played that thing to death. And before that, when I was a college student, I lived with a host family in Tokyo and played through Final Fantasy 8, Front Mission, and so on with my Japanese host brother. I'm not totally bagging on Japanese games. A lot of decent games still come from Japan. But I've realized over time that 99% of them are all the same. Some good, some mediocre, some bad. None of them ever completely sucked, and none of them ever blew me away. Eventually I got tired of them. Now when I play American games (especially RPGs) I experience the full gamut of utter dreck to beyond awesome. Now, granted no one wants to play a game that sucks. But I do want to play games that totally blow me away. And in my experience, only American games reach those lofty heights (granted they are few, but they are there). So while FF X may be a gorgeously animated game, it was far too limiting for my tastes, whereas Morrowind just totally blew me away through the sheer freedom and options I had. Again, thats just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
