Devs in Japan usually smaller and self-contained, and (usually) aren't forced into bullshit by publishers. In Amercia, however, publishers are just rich people who don't know or give a shit about games and just see it as a business. There are good western games, it's just that they're usually the low to middle budget ones. Whereas in Japan, almost all of the devs fall into the low-middle budget range, and the ones that aren't usually don't get fucked with too much.

I think nips are more dedicated when it comes to work. Most westerners do the bare minium in order to keep their job and get paid. Most japanese people try to do their job best they can. It really shows in low budget games, western devs will go 2D pixel art when on tight budget while nips will attempt full 3D graphics and do their best to make it work. Also noticed how nip games are relatively bug free compared to western shit?

Japanese work ethic is pretty much the best in the world, or the worst depending on your point of view.

You're expected to work overtime for no pay, take as few breaks as possible, and apologise to everyone around you if you're sick for a day.

It all stems from the post-war effort.
>>
>>320756192
Square Enix isn't as harsh as you would think, and most games they publish nowadays are western games. Also you forgot the best example which is Capcom.
>>
>>320756268
Nah. Only in the recent times we're getting shit like COD. The west usually just casualizes their games. Japs have been doing rehashes since NES days.
>>
>>320756507

Funnily enough, if you actually talk to western developers, the work ethic is even stronger.

Read up on Masters of Doom. Even during the height of 90s bro-tier developing, most devs were doing death schedule 80+ hour weeks with sleeping under desks and crazy isolation. Sure, they occasionally did office LANs or weekends out, but the majority of the time is nose to the grindstone labor.
>>
>>320755114
It comes down to the fact Japanese developers don't give two fucks about what people think of them, or their games.

They make barely any money, unless they hit big in the western market, in which case the will be subjected by the shit western developers have to deal with.

It all comes down to doing it for fun and not giving a shit about the opinions of people who don't fucking play videogames.

The secret is that weebs will eat their shit. All their major games are fucking staked to shit be it DQ, pokemon, or even genres like fighting games. Loads of Japanese developers are garbage now and completely leaving the gaming industry. You have Nintendo shitting the bed. They really aren't better in anyway. I love western games like Doom, Fallout 1 and 2, Duke Nukem, UFO defense, C&C, etc and have never really bidet stand why weebs act like these games are shit. In fact, in 2016 my most anticipated games are western again being XCOM 2 and UT4.

I agree that it's mainly weebs. Jap games are like Jap comics and cartoons. Rehashes full of tropes. I got board of that when I was about 16.

I'm calling rehashes rehashes. When all they had is better graphics or a new gimmick, but the same story, characters or overall gameplay, it's more than just similar. Case in point would be Mario games and even some Zelda games.

This is complete and utter bullshit and you know it. How does a society that has the largest suicide rate in the world with no guns NOT approach games as escapism.

Nice constructive argument. Perhaps it bring from Japan is influencing your tastes too much.

The fact you even think a RPG nowadays holds a candle to a TBS shows your shut taste.

I like a lot of jap shit, not all of it though but mainline series are mostly g2g, souls, persona, DQ, final fantasy, tales, new ip's like gravity daze, bloodborne, rhythm games, visual novels, metal gear, Ys, and really a ton of other games and genres. I'm not a big fan of spin off games likenor do I like 99% of Nintendo babby games.

That being said I like western games selectively, games like Tearaway, Horizon Zero dawn, Rachet and Clank, Portal, Half Life, Witcher 3, wipeout, some indies like axiom verge and ori.

For me though I grew out of shooters after playing Counter Strike for 10 years straight, I literally couldn't play another shooter game if you paid me. I understand the appeal of shooters especially when you;re good at them but I will never understand the appeal of Fallout. To me, I have a huge bias and I will always think of that as the shittest game ever created for some reason. I hate fallout witha passion.

They always were tropes in some way. Le mute hero, le submissive shy love interest, le big muscleman, you'd actually have to show me one character that isn't a trope in some form.
>animu art
I'm sure this will blow your mind apart, but that's how anime looked back in the day. Yes, you can find games that ditched the whole anime look and went for something more realistic, but they are in the minority.

Le mute hero isn't a Jap trope you goon. Neither is the shy love interest or the big muscleman. They just have been in every Jap rehash sense.

Star Citizen (you listed TLG it has a higher chance of coming out than that)
UT4
Cities Skylines
Kerbal Space Program
Toxikk
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
Undertale
Halo Wars 2 (this depends how well optimized it is for KB+M)
A hat in time
Yooka-Laylee (you listed KH3 I really don't care about platformers anymore)

Action (God Of War II)
Sandbox (Morrowind, GTA, etc.)
Music/Rhythm (Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc.)
Strategy (Starfract, Warcraft, C&C, etc.)
Racing (Burnout Takedown/Paradise, Midnight Club, Wipeout, etc.)
Stealth (Thief II, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Hitman Blood Money)

I personally think nips are more openly creative with games and are mostly gameplay over everything else, plus they have a number of people who make games that aren't big releases.

In America, it's always about the next big release and there's a much stronger focus on story and grafix at the expense of actual gameplay. We literally invented the term "cinematic" to video games.

No seriously, just look at all the posts on /v/ where people complain about atmosphere, tone, characterization, grafix, and FPS. How many people are talking about the experience of actually playing a game and the actual gameplay?

That said, there's a lot of good western game I enjoy, but I think I like Japan a little because their gameplay is good

This 3 year old Japanese game is better than 80% of all the games that came out this year.

JAPAN IS THE BEST

JAPANESE HAS LITERALLY NEVER MADE A SINGLE GAME MADE

EVERY SINGLE JAPANESE GAME IS BETTER THAN THE BEST THE WEST HAS TO OFFER

JAPS CARE ABOUT GAMING AND THEY DON'T WANT TO NICKEL AND DIME PEOPLE

LONG LIVE JAPAN ALL HAIL JAPAN.

That's Konami's fault though. They stopped caring about vidya and moved on to Pachinko

TLG is not coming out. Have you ever heard of development hell? TLG if it releases will be complete trash. Star Citizen is twice as likely as TLG to release my friend I listed that game to counter TLG.

>western devs
Pandering to SJWs who want to stick it to white people and the patriarchy, so their games are neutered cinematic experiences designed to be beaten in one go with no difficulty, and are more about pushing a message. "Games" like Bioshock Infinite, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Gone Home, and TLOU.

>eastern devs
Pandering to weebs who want to stick it in dakimakuras, so their games are filled with fanservice, sex, dress up minigames, and scantily clad 1 dimensional women. Designed to be beaten with no effort at all, otherwise how can you unlock the string bikini for Elma and Bayonetta and Shantae. """games""" in the lowest sense of the word.

Only a few exceptions exist to this two-party rule. Even then, you'll rarely ever find it on consoles, which have sadly delved into the "nickel and dime our customer for DLC" kool-aid.

I like MGSV, it draws on western themes but it doesn't internalize them through the artist like Black Lagoon dose, especially with the side-kick tier token Japanese guy they put in there.

I may have just gotten a shitty translation but I felt this anime was made for one specific demographic and them only and felt the artist would seriously not mind putting his mouth on an American guys cock and sucking the cum out of the dick.

I can't wait until China invades and occupies Japan and puts a stop to their degenerate game and anime industries.

They haven't forgot the single most important aspect.

Don't make games other people want to play. Make a game that YOU want to play.

This is why a lot of slav games are good. Because they don't make the games to make a profit they make the game because they want to play a certain kind of game but noticed it doesn't exist yet so they made one.

The west puts money and profits first. This means they have to eliminate as much risk as possible. The problem is all the fun is in the risk. Japan still takes chances. They don't always work but when they do they floor everything else.

One company being a dick doesn't mean Japan is full of dickish companies

That would be like saying
