Should Western AAA properties get more love?

[Kosheh]

I find this site will erupt even more in popularity with the SFM, modeler and artsy crowd if way more AAA Western stuff gets ripped. The state the site is atm isn't ideal for the gamers who appreciate this stuff (like myself). I'm quite open with what I like but there needs to be more outside of anime/platformers.

Despite the fact I've been saying this for ages

There is a general rule of thumb of VG Resource:

If it isn't a Japanese RPG, anime game or retro (style) platformer, don't expect it to ever be ripped.

Can I get a source for this rule thanks

The main problem here is that it's reflective of what the site's submitters' tastes and wallets are. Typically people who are passionate enough to learn about these ripping techniques most likely don't have interest (or a wallet deep enough) for Western AAA titles, so the NBA2Ks and Grand Theft Autos don't get as much love as they should (despite the fact that SFM enthusiasts would eat it right up) whereas the Neptunia titles that you can get for $7 during a sale are more likely to be checked out

Like...what you're saying is kinda true, but there's no need to be so smarmy about it lmao. If you've got friends into Western AAA properties who'd be interested in ripping from those games or learning how to do it, we'd be happy to help you figure out your way around the file structures and vertices, but so far...

nobody's really done that.
