Ok i didn't know where to put this so if a amin finds it to suit the video game thread plez put it there but my question is do japanese gamers hate Americans that much i know maybe a few words in Japaneses at best but its ether they just don't have mics or don't like to talk in front of Americans cause i been in games where its full of people from japan may be two have mics and don't say anything the hole match. oh the game im talking about is Lost Planet Colonies . just something i wanted to know

Dude wat are you talking about? Play Halo 3, change ur language settings to Japanese and i guarantee almost everyone in the room will have mics. Lol they're so fun to play with, but they laugh at ur japanese accent if it sucks lol.

Even if you only speak english, like my younger bro who played with em, they will speak english back to you. And if you're really good, they'll even add you to their buddy list lol.

WTF plenty of Japanese have mics on Lost Planet, they just prefer to talk to other Japanese people.

They stick to their own kind unless you're really fluent.

Maybe it's because some people have this little problem we call 'Yellow Fever' and the stalker-esque qualities associated with it bother the Japanese.

*shrugs* Not that you are one of those people though. Not at all.

If I had an XBox I wouldn't talk much on Live either. Live makes me sad for humanity.

For some reason when I play Halo 3 I've only played with people from the US and UK. And I get constant racial and homophobic remarks all the time.

Yep, that's standard X-Box LIVE dialogue. If you're looking for something better, best to just stick to playing with your pals.

...psh. it's because theyre all playing IDOLM@STER.

lucky bastards.

Idolm@ster or Idolm@ster: Live for You doesn't even support a mic. I do find it annoying that I can't post a comment during the Audition phase of Idolm@ster like you can on the arcade game.

A nice image of my Idolm@ster setup to annoy GreatNekoKoneko.

As for why I have two 360s, one is US and one is Japanese.
