Eric Jou's discussions

So Richard....That's the head of hyaku shiki, the left arm of Zeta, the shoulders of Strike with Panzer equip. The chest of Z gundam, the legs and waist of a Zaku. unfortunately, I can't tell which gun that is. Read more

i think you're right! I used to work at game stop and I never had to call anyone. The only times we called was when we had to contact someone regarding pick-ups and launch dates. We also had a logsheet for people looking for specific games, if we had the game we'd call and let them know it's in. At least that's how… Read more

I only mentioned defending Yodo1 because the focus of the article was on them =]. I'm really interested to see what/how they'll do on the global scale. They're actually a pretty nice group of people. Truth be told, they're booth had food at China Joy and it was like a god send because I got food poisoning the night… Read more

I love how you guys turned an story about a Publishing company going global and turned it into a discussion about China as a whole.

In all fairness to Yodo1, they're a Chinese company in the sense that they're run by ethnically Chinese and Korean people. And that their based in China.

That said, in regards to Yodo1, I… Read more

it's an issue with me being an idiot. I clicked save but i had set kinja to scheduled. The scheduled time was off. Read more

you are right ;-; Read more

That's how they're making money now - yodo1 does this with the games they bring in! Read more

problem with posting my bad. Popcap imo might've messed it up. They could've made the game literally the same for every region except on graphics and levels. Read more

Toshi!!! We must trade and battle together! Power up that NDS/3DS - Start with Heart Gold or Soul Silver! Read more

Actually... yes. Because the way the Chinese game industry works, innovation and cool shit gets snuffed out for the most mundane crap. So unless someone goes indie and makes their game for western markets, they won't be making cool games for the domestic market. So in that sense, being able to make a cool game that… Read more

I'm not really critiquing the PLA. I'm bashing Giant and their mediocre game. Read more

Yeah, I'm going to once the game settles for a bit. For now so far the reactions mixed at best. There's this whole camp of nationalistic people who are all for it, then there's this group of nationalistic people who are against it. It also breaks down between educated and uneducated too. It's so polarizing. Read more

You guys do know that my "Kotaku" title is Major Pooper. That's also the name of my dog and my one of my many gamer tags. Read more

Let's put it this way. In an internet cafe with 40 people, excluding myself there were 8 people playing this game. This is just a rough estimate of what it's like in where I am. <—- just my corner of Beijing. I'm told by my friends and colleagues that this game would have a following among the migrant workers and the… Read more

He should be. Taiwan's current leaders are selling Taiwan wholesale to China. it's scary. Read more

I'm not for putting excessive amounts of bullets in people's faces. Enemy or not, I found it in pour taste. It was odd. At first I thought it was an issue with the mouse but it wasn't. Then i thought it was glitch, but it happened like 5 times and only on the Shanghai mission. Read more

I want this game. Ever since living in Shanghai and watching those old school movies about Shanghai in the 1920's I've been longing for a game or story to set me there again.

If this game is getting made, let's hope they throw in the grandness of the Bund, the emptiness of Pudong, the ridiculous dichotomy between the… Read more

I agree. However this is only leaked footage, no clue how far they got into the game. I think if they were still working on it, it'd be amazing. Read more

stepping back, I do see that i'm describing capitalism - but isn't capitalism by nature exploitive? and isn't the common connotation of the phrase "taking advantage of someone" bad?

Using the stripper analogy/example here's what I have to say. I used to sell ads to a strip club. I find strip clubs distasteful, and i do… Read more

I'm in the camp where if booth companions (men and female) are part of the promotion, it's a good thing, but the problem with China Joy and to another extent any B2C expo in China (such as car shows), they take it too far and it's become a wtf am I looking at moment. I love beautiful women, i meet loads of them some… Read more
