That period of time in the late 2000s-early 2010s when Japanese companies pandered to Western audiences was just miserable (hexbear.net)

Wow, I can't believe Dark Void didn't just fly off the shelves.

Capcom was probably the worst offender, but Hudson made Bomberman dark, gritty and shitty with Act Zero and Namco made Ace Combat: Assault Horizon with QTEs and a NATO bootlicking plot, and gave Ridge Racer to FlatOut developers Bugbear to turn into a Burnout ripoff with Unbounded. Many such cases!

I had fun with DR but I couldn't read the tiny-ass ingame text

Yeah that was a deal breaker for people that had CRT tvs back at launch.

I played it on a tiny CRT and it was definitely not fun.
