Well, I guess since at least IGN said it first, there's your embargo time/date.
If I could have a website/link to save so I can check out your work, it'd be very much appreciated - one can only hear/take in so much on their own. The main reason I know & follow Easy Allies so closely is because they're the team from Game Trailers, a site I grew up with.
Please don't feel insulted based on my own lack of knowledge/awareness, I meant no ill will with what I said.
To be clear, I wasn't insulted, nor was I as hurt as I may have made it seem. It's just frustrating sometimes for people to think "there's hardly anybody out there whose reviews I should pay attention to for Japanese games", when there
are people out there (not just me) trying really hard to get this stuff covered and do it justice. It's often a problem of those kinds of people being at smaller/less well known outlets, so it's not always easy to even know they're out thereunless they're someone who stands out at a bigger outlet/group (like Easy Allies).
I mean though, I totally get the inclination to not even pay attention to most reviews for Japanese games out there. On a personal level, I often don't, because I've seen too many outlets/people who seem to love crapping on them at this point. I mean, we had to live through years of "why Japanese gaming is dead" articles when that was an ignorant Western-centric view to takeand/or a long-awaited bout of gloating over the perceived death of an industry that some people loved to see as out of touch and out of date.
And the best way to check out my stuff from the last few years is via
my OpenCritic page.
