Stay classy, Phil Fish:teehee :tophat
Miami University student Ben Sironko said that Jonathan Blow, who also discussed the drawbacks of modern Japanese games, was “way more constructive” with his feedback.
What's tiesto's take? By logic he should love it because Fez is so retro, but Phil Fish hates what tiesto loves so much. TIESTO SPEAK

Phew, that's a relief.
JR: What electronic game do you consider to be the pinnacle of artistic achievement?
PF: I have 3. Well, maybe not the absolute pinnacle, but these 3 games had a pretty big part in my realization that games could be about more than exploding fists and volcanoes full of robots.
My shinny golden tri-force of artsy awesomeness... ICO, REZ, and KATAMARI DAMACY.
While they may be a bit cliche in the good old games-as-art argument, it's impossible for me to overstate how important these 3 games are to me. How big an impact they had over almost everything I do. I think years from now, these games will be revered as pioneers, as ground breakers. More so than now.
Japanese developer: "How do you feel about Japanese games?"
Phil Fish: "THEY SUCK!!"

:piss Hipster douche! :piss2
I liked Fez better when it came out for PSP and was called "Crush".

I think you'll find that even someone like me will complain about more Japanese games than he praises.spoiler (click to show/hide)I only do it because I care! And plus I'm a jaded old fart so maybe I'm not representative of the average Japanese game fan[close]
and since I know you are a PC gamer, I am curious what you thought about his whole policy of not releasing a PC version of his game b/c he wants it to be played on the couch with a controller?
I'm old enough to remember a time when a game from a western studio was looked at suspiciously by most western gamers in fact many were seen as a joke and Japanese games ruled the roost unchallenged.
TBH he does have a point but he delivered his point rather crassly.

North American gamers maybe. Definitely wasn't the case in Euroland.
Sorry guys, the only thing more annoying than people who keep dumbly putting japanese games/devs on a pedestal are unsexed dudebros who put the pussy on a pedestal. So, you know, bebpo is DOUBLY FUCKING ANNOYING.

So much anger. Why don't you come over here and pull my hair and spit on my face. Grr.
His opinion is one thing. We get what he's trying to say. To a degree, I can't argue with the essence of it. This might also be my personal ignorance, I'm not denying that.http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35793431&postcount=1263 (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35793431&postcount=1263)
However, this guy humiliated a human being by putting down parts of his integral identity (nation, game-making) in a generally despicable fashion. At that point, the opinion fades in comparison to the awfulness of how he carried himself.
He obviously didn't give any thought on how violating his utterances are. Imagine being a Japanese indie dev half-way through your game, then jetting over to the US just to hear such a remark at GDC.
He didn't even give a shit about the more general issue of how Japanese people deal with shame. And this is no "shot-in-the-foot" talk here. That's a very real issue.
You can't let shit like that slide. It's just not right.

i dunno, i think the game looks pretty fun
phil fish is obviously some kind of asshole who has no idea how to behave himself in the adult world, but that doesn't mean his game is crappy or he's a racist or all the other stuff people are throwing out there
it just means he's an asshole who has no idea how to behave himself in the adult world
I don't find his argument disagreeable, but I do disagree with the venue and presentation of it.
Nope, that's basically what he sad. Though I definitely disagree about the games being in a state of stagnation. Especially since I don't like many of the traditional western genres (open world, FPS and american RPG genres in particular) and would hate to see Japanese devs attempt to make games in those genres due to a perceived need to "evolve".
