Is it true? You guys in the US got problems with failure?
While traditional education systems teach students to try to succeed and learn from their failures, he said, the American education system has evolved to the point that failure has largely been removed from the equation entirely. "The idea of failure has been dramatically reduced," he said, noting that American students don't "fail." Rather, they are "challenged," a concept that Daglow believes European developers should keep in mind when trying to design games that will succeed in the American market.
When I read it, I thought that the american market wanted games like Call of Duty = games that are simple and allows you to win quite easily.
I know you guys here aren't like that, but what of the average gamer and average Joe?
I wonder how extraterrestrials would answer this question. How would their answers be graded?
Your answer is irrelevant because we have space cannons...and you don't....
I thought they would say something along the lines...
"Well that is not the ultimate question."
I don't know about Americans in general but journalist professional reviewers on metacritic definitely do have a problem with accepting failure.
Long story short, journalists need paychecks and more to add to their portfolio so reviewing popular media is one way to accomplish this. Problem is what happens when you have people reviewing video games who do not like video games? Difficulties get redefined and the product experience is tailored to that crowd instead of the target audience. Because the buyers are taking advice from people who have no true interest in the product in question you get more zombie shooter clones. A perfect example of this is that scathing review of Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes on metacritic. The author listed the pros as cons!
And that is why the industry is doomed unless consumers become aware.
Edit: Added FE:LH review example. No I am not going to add a link because that would reward the said site with more hits.
ah, maybe, "42" ?
Certainly, 42 it is.

Well, yeah.
That's why there is that cliché of North Americans not caring about what happens outside the US borders.
