OMG Those are so funny!

*ahem.... back to the topic...

I suppose the guy in question would probably say that the best "American" RPGs he ever played were Dragon Warriors and Zelda, not to mention the earlier Final Fantasy games too... Does he even know where his games come from?

I suspect not. In my opinion most people who make broad sweeping generalizations (without supporting evidence) have no clue. Now before you jump on me for making an unsupported broad generalization , please note that I acknowledge it is (1) my opinion only and (2) that it is wholly unsupported by any factual data and (3) I don't really give a darn .

If a great game comes out of USA, it's because the team consist of foregners.

I presume you mean by that (since the term foreigner is a relative term) that you mean the team must consist of people not from Malaysia ???

I stand corrected and am humbled by your precise memory. I certainly had forgotten all of those fine titles!

@irritantnumber6:
Arcatera was not French, but German, from Westka (Y-Project) - but I agree, it was kind of unplayable

There are stupid people everywhere! If you don't think you have them in your country then you're fooling yourself. I worked at a hotel front desk for three years and I can tell you that stupidity is a worldwide epidemic, even in Canada!

Ahem.. I'm sorry to say that my favourite game of all time is in fact american.. Wasteland!

Among the new games I've played, my favourites are Gothic (German) and GTA3 (No idea where it's from).
