I love it that I read the big gaming forums, but there are never links to cool stuff like his Japanmanship blog.
Cause it's not interesting. Enjoy reading about David Jaffe smoking weed. HOOOOOOOLY SHIT
au contraire, I see a million things about David Jaffe, who hasn't done shit since GOW1, and I couldn't care less about the guy. but nothing interesting about the industry, like this guy's blog.
anyway, the article is kinda weird--
--no mention of nintendo's success. uhh, pretty important, say what you will about the games.
--I thought the popcap guys weren't happy with Gyromancer? I seem to remember reading about them complaining about it. Not sure how well it has sold, but it hasn't made a Puzzle Quest type splash, that's for sure. Yet the article is making it sound like a success.
--Weren't there rumors that Capcom screwed up Bionic Commando by ordering all kinds of shitty changes to it? For an article talking about the decline of the Japanese game market, they sure did make it sound like that was all Grin's fault.
but what can you expect from lolgaemsjurnalizm
