lets not let this thread degrade into a country flame war please. thx.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that Americans needed a quick fix when they had the time to play a game. Adventure games take more of an investment to get the same emotional kick as lets say 10 minutes playing call of duty 4. Americans aren't as lazy as us Europeans who demand a 35 hour work week or else we go on strike (
). maybe we culturally demand more free time and can invest more into story, character buildup, dialogues etc. americans are realists, europeans seem to be idealists. thats just a thought though. i cant back that up with anything imperical. lets not forget though, that even in europe action games etc are much more popular than adventure games. they just havent died out as much as stateside
