@meatz666 @deathstroker Nah, it's not. Played both, loved them, and loved them for different reasons. STALKER is richer than FEAR's in-game space, if you're wondering, but FEAR is more polished.
@TitanPolaris Fallout's humor is very American. Plus, it'd be difficult to develop a Fallout game in China and other locations unfamiliar to the devs without compromising quality.An attempt at doing so would result in something less detailed and fleshed out than a Fallout game set in America. Plus, there's still plenty of alternate-reality American lore to explore.
@1Duy @r4v3gl0ry Honestly, I can't tell what represents China. Government is pretty negligent about anything that doesn't pertain to business and the economy and so are the people. It's not so much a peace or war loving nation as it is a reckless one. No sensible younger generation Chinese person would really disagree that there's a general lack of empathy shared between Chinese people (I can't even get refunds from Chinese stores). I actually don't wholly disagree with you when you say that the country is horrible (I think I actually wrote and meant that in one of my replies), because it and its people's underdeveloped sense of culture are creating a growing social divide right now. There's almost no independent film or music scene and I don't see too many original trends starting in China. In addition, there is no collective heartfelt opinion on any issue in China right now, no activism for the rights of animals and certainly very little for environmental pollution. Anti-Japanese activism is senseless, as is all hate, but it will not get worse unless it is further exploited by politicians, in which case those aggressive newspapers may really start to come in handy.

I guess in hindsight you could've pinpointed the problem to hubs of dissent and not the entire horrible country. And you have another thing wrong--we'd try our hardest to acquire entertainment items of high value to brag and save for saving face in front of our family members. It's a cultural thing. Really.
I really wish I could tell you that that is happening all around the country, but I can't. Sorry, that vision hasn't come to life. These are isolated incidents, even with yesterday's Beijing protest...however unsettlingly large that might have been. And that is strange. I see some Koreans protesting, waving their tae guk gis against the Japanese on their day of independence too. Huh. You're passionate, I get it. But before you carry on, please go sit in the middle of a street in Chengdu or the middle of the entire province of Shanxi itself or bustling Qingdao and try and peddle Japanese goods. See how many people buy them anyway. You'll get varied reactions--educated and uneducated--depending on who you talk to, their income, where they live.Now seriously tell me that people from the countryside actually care. See? You missed them. Darn it. Oh, and don't forget to account for city folk and university students who might senselessly beat the Japanese! lol
@1Duy Cool response, mang. Surely my relatives in Guangzhou hunt for people using Japanese products every day. No, but seriously, you have no idea of the general level of apathy people in China feel for government, politics, religion...it's why some extremists and protesters, say the ones in Beijing/Peking right now, are being held back from learning and realizing that the past is the past. And even though you sound like one of those uncultured people right now, I do agree that this is somewhat of a loss. I really hope competitive gaming will gain at least some sort of a foothold in China someday.
For what it's worth, this is a decent short movie. It's funny that in the game, one would simply break his way out of a situation like that with a crowbar. Violence would be glorified and validated with a resounding KERSPLAT and limbs would fall. And not a single **** would be given.
