If you could only play video games developed in one of these countries (past, present, and future games) for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Now that I've asked this question... it's kinda hard to answer. It seems like the future is America's, but Japan has a much richer past.

I'd hate losing out on great games like Mass Effect and I'm well-aware I'd probably be robbing myself of a greater array of amazing games in years to come but losing out on the chance to replay things like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear and Zelda would be terrible. -- "Setsuna, you have to change.

Japan has MGS, so that makes it tough to say no there, but the combined forces of Valve and Bethesda have drawn me to say, for now, AMERICA.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #006 This is exactly right. Japan's been the best for almost all of gaming's history, but they've been on a HARD downturn in recent years. American and indie developers (also western) are getting better and better, and will probably be the better source for games inside of 10 years. All of that said, I'd probably still go with Japan. There's just way too much good stuff already out, you could go a lifetime just playing Japanese games that already exist. -- Falcon Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw ...

I was going to say America is the easy choice here, but then I realize you also said past. And since OoT is my favorite game with MGS as my favorite series.... damn.
Then there's Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect series that aren't Japan. I hate this topic and I refuse to partake in it. *exit* -- ~Halo Give into the Night. http://a.imageshack.us/img443/8466/shadowhalo.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Japan and it's not even close.
America has come out with some really cool stuff in recent years (World of Goo, Mirror's Edge, Bioshock, Episode 2), but most western developers seem to just go with what works. I can't imagine an American developer making something like a Killer7. -- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

From: PartOfYourWorld | #001 This is the key, and I think it's been addressed already: From: PartOfYourWorld | #006 Yup, definitely If Japan can get out of this rut they have been in for the last few years (and it seems like they are finally starting to go uphill this fall), then maybe I would choose Japan, but America is also going uphill on top of pretty much just dominating on all fronts. And is it America as in the West or just USA or just North America? Because Canada has some really good stuff, also some european studios. -- _foolmo_ 'but that statement is something only an Aspergers patient would say' - UltimaterializerX ... Copied to Clipboard!

baron von toast 08/21/11 9:31:00 PM #29: |
Come to think of it, more than any specific developer, the thing I'd miss most from America is indie games, really. I can think of a plenty of Japanese developers and series and even entire genres that I would hate to miss out on, but when I try to enumerate things I would miss from America I come up with Valve and the big amorphous cloud of rainbows and possibilities that is indie games. Probably have to go with GLORIOUS NIPPON on this.
