If Japan makes the best games, why have they never made good first person shooter? Chekmate.
America: 3
Japan: 0
You know, I wonder why the FPS market never took off in Japan.
>tfw FPS and TPS genres are dead
>>331340067
The Division is pretty fun and everyone seems to like xcom despite 2 and its bugs.
>>331340067
>Uncharted 4
>Battlefront
The genres are still great.
>>331340349
Xcom 2 isn't a TPS, it's turn based.
>>331340349
the
division
is within
your mind
I don't know about FPS but they make great TPS, though almost all of them are sci-fi.
>>331340375
Of you think those games are good, you should kill yourself.
Uncharted is a casual shit series, And Battlefront is a Battlefield clone, which is shit.

I've never played Arena shooters you autist.
>>331340795
I rather enjoyed ziggaraut to be honest.
Also, I like the specialists. And quake 3. And strike vector. I also liked empires when it had players.
I just don't like shit like the division, battlefront and uncharted because it's garbage. Whoops!
>>331340661
>Uncharted is a casual shit series
I like you
>>331340795
Halo was the last bastion of arena shooters. Too bad the PC release of 2 was shit.
>>331341018
>insert game type here
>>331339809
Because they prefer shmups, which take more skill to play than FPS.
>>331343520
I could beat any one pixel hitbox simon-says game with my eyes closed, nigga. Playing arena FPS is a totally different league.
>>331340795
>If I wanted to play quake I would play quake, FUCK
What? I would always enjoy a new Quake like arena shooter
>>331344305
>could
I highly doubt it.
>Playing arena FPS is a totally different league.
There are complex patterns to dodge in Arena FPS? No? Then stop talking.
GOOKS LOL
>>331344987
Oh my God, you really meant it.

I've often wondered about this myself.
Maybe Japan just isn't into firearms as much as the US. They're more into swords and stuff.
>>331345492
You're probably onto something here
>popular games in the US
>Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto
>popular games in Japan
>Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter
>>331343520
>more skill
Yeah, figure out the pattern, and that's it, you've won shmup level. Good job posting such a shit waifufag pandering example too.

Japan likes gunslinging heroes. Mega Man is derived from Astro Boy who had guns in his ass. Golgo 13. Lupin III. Dante. Bayonetta. The Resident Evil heroes.
Even Mario was once going to have a gun in SMB1 before it became the fire flower. It's more the genre they're just not interested in, and a general disinterest in military stuff.
Shiggy was actually really into first person perspective and when designing Nintendo franchises for 3 dimensions, like what would eventually become Ocarina of Time, kept trying to work a first person view into all of them. Ultimately he got his wish with Metroid Prime, and the rest is history on that note.
But to that end, Japanese developers have discussed in depth the disinterest in eastern dev teams not tackling shooters, even once they became the most ubiquitous and lucrative genres by the seventh generation.
First there's the general disinterest at home. Do games like COD and Fallout sell in Japan? Sure, but it's more of a niche thing. You read about mangaka talking about how much they enjoy Gears of War or Call of Duty in their little omakes at the end of comics, but they always talk about how they don't have too many people to play with.
The bigger publishers like Nintendo, Sega and Square-Enix are always internationally focused. Going back to Zelda, it's notorious for how much of the pre-design work goes into trying to appeal to both Japan and the west's tastes. But again, most of them have western subsidiaries or associates to make shooter games.
But, especially after the 360 & PS3, and the general death of A and AA-level development, devs are basically going back to their safe genres and readapting for mobile. Nobody wants to experiment where they're intimidated by the west's dominance. Look at the guys who developed Splatoon. Those dudes are well-versed in multiplayer shooters but they had to build something completely out of left field.

Did you really not notice all the fucking publishers that died in the past decade?
Aren't Japs like genetically unfit to play FPS? Like it triggers motion sickness in them?
