Japanese people line up for 360, yeah, Hell just froze (Blue Dragon)

[quote name='nintendokid']depascal, you gotta look at it this way: America is THE most heterogenous and most acceptable of other people. Sure, it's still rocky and we've got illegal aliens, racial profiling, discrimination, etc., but it's still ten times better than anywhere else in the world. The point is that other cultures are not so comfortable with the idea of heterogeneity yet eventhough they may not be discriminatory or a supreme nationalist. That's why you and I are willing to throw down with anyone while someone else may feel more comfortable playing with their "own kind".

Let's not be too quick to jump to conclusions because I've been in games where a whole room full of Americans are talking smack to the 2-3 persons who are speaking French, telling them to STFU and speak English.[/quote]

You and icruise make very good points. I may have been overly stereotypical but that's just my experience so far.
 
[quote name='Midnite']They've warmed up a bit but still don't like grouping with English speakers, now you'll see messages like "Please use the auto-translate function" or "I understand a little." It's still hard to get a Japanese player to go on missions but at least they are starting to party with English speakers.[/quote]

From what I've noticed, Xbox Live is much better in this way than it was at the beginning. Maybe times are changing for the better.
 
I find it outragious that you guys are so astonished that asians dont want to play with americans. I dont even want to play on live with my fellow racist/bigot/screaming/white trash talking xboxlive bretheren. Why is it so hard to accept that others dont enjoy listening to that as well?

Sure you have a few civilized people off of cag, but on the whole, I wont use my mic on online games because I cant stand to hear the people Im playing with. It's not surprising that other nationalites don't want to hear or play with it either.
Don't think they hate you as a person, they dont know you. They do however know what the majority of us are like and choose not to play with us. Why take the chance when its just safer not to play with any of us.
Try to see it from their standpoint.

Yep. I'm with you on most of that. I can't stand playing GOW and some little white kid is trying to talk ghetto slang. As a former teacher, it makes me sad for America's future. I also hate when some idiot starts talking useless stupidities or singing (If you can call it that) in the game. I gave up on the mic except when I'm on a good squad and working as a team.
