I'd think being sympathetic to everyone would be a positive trait.

Anyway, starting a pity olympics with who has it worse is always offensive for both sides so if you know of a charity drive for your cause, why don't you link it in the OP and everyone can at least have the means of information to look into helping both in some way?

In case you didn't notice, I did put a link in the OP for Japanese Red Cross, where you can see two big buttons, one for the 2011 Earthquake and the other for the Typhoon. You can actually read their reports on both events and their needs, etc. so that you can make your own choice.

I'm not arguing which event is worse. This is a badly made game (or nongame) anyway, and it shouldn't be covered up by an idea that this game could maybe remotely contribute some public good in an unknown place.

Euske's been in NYC for six years so he's hard. :p

アメリカに住んでる日本人として言います、このポストは主題からずれているし俺たちのほとんどを表すものではありません。この OP は完全にポイントを理解していません、このゲームは悲劇そのものに注目してるわけじゃなくただ San Francisco のとあるビーチに今でも流れ着いてくる所持品や色んな人たちの思い出を描いた作品です。日本から San Francisco に引っ越してきた者としてこの体験は（意義はありません、これはゲームではありません）実際に俺が住んでいる町で起きている事を見事に表しています。

このプロジェクトはあなた向けじゃなかくて残念です、でも正直言うとこうゆう否定文 「つまり「かわいそうな東北の人々のため」っつう大義名分があれば、どんなガラクタでもSteamは通すのだということがわかった。」　や　「こうした白人は日ごろから罪悪感にさいなまされているので、何にでも同情しちゃうんだろね。」　の上にアホな Minecraft avatar を見れば分かるように彼は本当に心配はしていないし頭の回転が良い方の日本人ではないと思います。多分彼は気が短い上に腹が立ったら止まらない FPS プレイヤーなんでしょうね。

うるせぇー、良心をもて、そして正直な人たちにどの不幸がより不幸か言いつけるな！　Developer からのメッセージを読めば分かるように、彼らはこの「ゲーム」から一線も儲けてはいないのだから自分が嫌いだからと言ってうだうだ言ってるんじゃねぇー。まぁ、最初から見れば彼の意見がおかしいのは、誰の目にも一目瞭然でしょうが。


As a Japanese person now living in America, I can say this is totally off-base and doesn't represent how most of us think whatsoever. The OP completely missed the point that this game doesn't even focus on the tragedy itself but on the beaches of San Francisco where different artifacts and various memories continue to wash up, and as someone who moved to SF from Japan I can say this experience (true, not really a game) hit the nail right on the head for what is currently going on right where I live.

I'm sorry that this project didn't speak to you, personally, but to be honest with sentences like "So now it became clear: with the sense of rightousness of saving wretched people in some oriental country, Steam can sell any garbage to you." and "Because these people are so prickled by white guilts or something, they can sympathize virtually anything!" in combination with your crappy Minecraft avatar, it's very clear that you aren't a concerned or intelligent Japanese person but probably just some angsty, pissed-off asian FPS playing gamer kid.

Get lost, find a conscious, and stop telling honest people which tragedies they should be more concerned about. If you read the stickied post here, the devs aren't making a cent off of this 'game' so your whining about how the game isn't to your liking is in poor taste. But that was obvious to everybody to begin with.

Also, this:

Nice to see common sense still exists in good people.

Nicely put CueZero :)

The game won't run for me, but I imagine the idea is pretty nice. Lately I find it hard to connect pictures of washed away towns and the people who used to live there since there are major disasters every few months and the images are spammed aggressively everywhere.

Someone is angry, for sure.

This was beautiful. I wouldn't call it a game, but more like an interactive dream of what once was.

As for Euske, you have no empathy, but I cannot fault you for that because your specialty is that of an Extraterrestrial Alien killer. Perhaps in the future avoid games like this. You should get X-Com Enemy Within instead =)

I heard you get to experience the tsunami in first person in this game, is that true?

Irrespective of any views on the technical performance of the title, or the motivations of the devco, I find the sentiments expressed and the tone used by the OP to be both patronising and offensive.

I don't think so, you're on a beach in California, out of range of any 2011 tsunami.

Accusing anyone of thinking of Japan as an "Oriental Country"? What? It's Japan, and it's not a place far from the sympathies from anyone else. I don't think very many westerners view Japan like that.

Anyway, to the real point. Just because the Phillipines got it worse doesn't mean that some good still can't be done in Japan.
