G4 has given games from KOEI some terrible scores in the past, to be sure, like this one-star notice for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, for example, but we are NOT to blame for the graffiti you see above. Someone (who was NOT affiliated with G4) sprayed the above message on one of KOEI's buildings in Japan.
According to Andria Sang's translation, she spray-paint scrawls read: "Die, garbage" and "Crap game" and "Tenchu."
That last word, "Tenchu" translate to "Divine Punishment," but it could be a reference to the Tenchu series of games, too. Tenchu (the game franchise) has nothing to do with KOEI, but people who spray-paint stuff on the sides of buildings usually aren't very bright, and they may have mixed up the publishers. We can't be certain.
One thing we do know for sure: People in Japan take their games seriously.

I'm gonna use words from Southpark's own Kyle Broflovski "Really?, Really?" Earthquake in your country, 9.0 magnitude, killer tsunami, nuclear meltdown, almost 30,000 dead. Instead of helping those in need you decide to spray graffiti on a business. "Really?, Really?"
@CrocodileDumbDee above, You have the right to express your own opinion on the existence of a creator. With all the new scientific research we are slowly learning about things that we never new existed. However even the scientific community as a whole can't say what happened before the big bang.
I believe in the big bang, it makes sense, evolution to some degree happens on a daily basis. But where it all came from and how it all really began I believe is a pointless examination with no end. If humanity thinks that it is it's own God, I would point out that the recent volatility of tectonics and weather on the Earth itself basically nulls that argument.
If we don't believe in something greater than ourselves, what do we use as a counterweight for our own actions?

Let's just tell the truth, Koei hasn't had an original game ip for almost 10 years, and people have noticed. Maybe now they'll make a good game... No just kidding, more Dynasty Warriors.

I have always wished that the Tenchu license would be bought by a western developer. There are some great game mechanics in these games that I would like to see flesh out into a quality game.

Maybe people just shouldn't but the games. Graffiti wont stop bad games, bad sales will tough.

re: tsunami caused by earthquake>earthquake caused by shifting tectonic plates (if you can see where a "god" enters this reality anywhere i'd be happy to hear it)
don't get me wrong, i love how you all got mad and totally overlooked the point. the way you kept mentioning "america" reminded me of YuGiOh abridged Bandit Keith.
anyway, tell santa clause or jesus or whomever youre hanging out with i said "hey!@"

G4 rags on a lot of things, who cares? Their treatment of FIFA games in the past tells me their not a real serious outlet for game reviews, but should be looked at as entertainment. Which is fine, but damn...you'd think their reviews would have some logic and sanity to them.
Its a shame, really. Just look at the review for SFIV 3DS for further proof of how lame their reviews can be. "I hate all things 3D, but here's what I think of a game in 3D. Next, they'll have a cricket fan review NBA2k12.

Are you sure no one at G4 had anything to do with this because you guys sure pick on Koei an awful lot but then I can't blame you thought there games sux oh and by the way Dynasty Warriors 7 is out Ha.
MasterOfWeed
I bet whoever did this had no internet to play their usual games and all they had to play was dynasty warriors.
XwingVmanX
Even if it was a mistake, they still deserve it for putting out the same game again....
playereliminator
HAHAHAHA, I bet KOEI takes heed....but maybe sales did that already HAHAHAHAHAHA
hoof_hearted4

Once again, it's proven that the total extent of human stupidity is always increasing.
And that no matter what happens to a persons/peoples country, there will always be the select that seem to have their priorities extremely backwards. All I can do is give a sad lol.
Kinda sux for KOEI, though, if ya think about it :/
Aeous
Somewhat funny that this happened the day before Dynasty Warriors 7 comes out in the US, still sad though
Vancoor
One thing, this isn't anti-gaming, in fact its pro-games. Just anti-crappy games.
prinny_hero
G4 prolly got one of their interns to do this
Gabtraf

dolemikeog

ZeroPlasmaPulse
