most of the game brands come from japan or Asia

most of the game brands come from japan or Asia

...but not all. What was the point of that statement, again? :shifty:

most of the game brands come from japan or Asia

Rubbish, most are from Japan or the US. Then come Canada/France (Ubisoft), the UK (Rare) and Germany (Topware) The former Soviet Union countries are catching up (anyone ever played Hidden and Dangerous?). Spain brought us Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and even the Netherlands, which gave us Overlord and Killzone 2 :>

Blizzard Entertainment is an American video game developer and publisher headquartered in Irvine, California. Blizzard is the creator of several successful PC games, including the Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo series, and the MMORPG World of Warcraft.

Thanks for that wikipedia quote XD. I was thinking because they have that huge invitational conference in Seoul that that was where the company was based, but I didn't really know.

But most blizzard conventions, also known as Blizzcon, are held every year in Irvine, California.

Hmmm... intresting...

Capcom
from Japan

They made Street Fighter and Okami :')

Square, Japan, FF trumps all. Working Designs, US, for Lunar, sadly departed.

Aren't they Korean?

nope, as someone said, its just those koreans sure love starcraft....

Basically, any game company that was around during the SNES days, and is still going today.
Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, Square(and Enix!), Natsume, uhm...well...you know. Those old guys. Mostly the Japanese ones.
Because American games suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
No, just kidding. I just think American games...focus too much on tech. As in, they don't age well at all. Whereas most Japanese games work on love n' polish, and are just as fun twenty years after their release as they were when they first came out. Like, I don't see Gears of War being considered any good ten years from now, but Mario 3 will be awesome forever.

Know what I mean?!

Also, old Japanese RPGs (Trigger, Soul Blazer, Secret of Mana, Earthbound) are all fucking awesome. So Japan wins! o/

Edit: Wtf. This stupid forum ruined my sweet Japanese flag ascii art!

I sorta grew out of consoles and am now a pc gamer so id say valve and blizzard are the best producers out there atm
Valve for its Source engine games and Blizzard for its wow/diablo series (not too into starcraft)

i agree with hopelesscomposer those classic snes games are eternal, love em.

woo japan!

Doom is still the best game ever, and it's not Japanese:bleh:

Square Enix. Hands down.

I must say that HoplessComposer is right. Japanese games will always rock! There are some american games are good though! Japanese games will never grow boring though!

I really like Level 5. Fukuoka, Japan. Fell in love with the music in the White Knight Story trailer. Go Level 5 and Square Enix :P

I like games made from Japan too...as long as they don't have English dubs...

...*twitch twitch* I don't know how I would've ever gotten through Eternal Sonata or Lost Odyssey if it weren't for the option to play in Japanese with English Subs...

I thought the English voice acting in Lost Odyssey was actually pretty good. They had more talented voice actors. I'm going to start Eternal Sonata tonight hehe. Fingers crossed :P

*Gasp*...The voices for Lost Odyssey in English sucked though...grr...I remember Sarah's voice...so much for "soft" and "gentle"...XD That was a nightmare...which really isn't something to smile about...
X0 X0 X0!!! YOU MUST PLAY ETERNAL SONATA IN JAPANESE!!! >.< Allegretto and Beat...and Chopin sound hideous(yes! a word other than bad/stupid!) in English...Trust me on that one...gosh that almost gave me a nightmare...

Haha. Sorry about that. I don't mind the lost odyssey English dubs, but yea. Japanese for Eternal Sonata all the way :)

XD Yea!
...Gosh, so many of the dreams in Lost Odyssey were so sad...XD I've unlocked almost every achievement on Lost Odyssey except for the Skill masters for the immortals and the one for finishing the game...:heh: I'm trying to get all of the achievements on my first play-through...XD and I have all of the extra stuffs...forget what you call those...

I can't do the whole 100% thing unless it Metroid Prime. A disc containing all 3 prime games (all with Wii controls) is coming in August! DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

*takes a step back*...wha?

*look confused*...eh?

are you referring to the Metroid comment?
