Blow apparently joined in, saying he &#8220;totally agreed&#8221; and describing Japanese games as &#8220;joyless husks&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Fish later followed up on <a title=\"Company Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19976-Twitter\">Twitter<\/a>, saying &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry Japanese guy! I was a bit rough, but your country&#8217;s games are f*** terrible nowadays,&#8221; and &#8220;Well, you know, not ALL of them. Just&#8230; a lot of them,&#8221; and finally &#8220;I stand by what I said. Most modern Japanese games are terrible.
