That's because many FPS games include almost everything under the sun to make themselves look as "realistic" as possible without once considering that they should.

Brown? Yup. Had a solid decade of that and it's only slightly letting up.

Bloom? Fuck you that will never go away unless you play on PC where you have the choice to shut that shit off.

Motion Blur? Not as bad in small doses, but of fucking course devs pump as much of it as they can.

Head bobbing/sway on the camera? Hey guys, do you remember when you're walking or jogging that your view shook like an 8 year old in a bounce house? No? Because your eyes and inner ear are designed to counteract that, because it's dumb and nauseating. Yet devs think this is realism?

Ironsight Zoom? Holyfuck am I sick of seeing that. I'm pretty sure that's not how you aim in real life.

Blizzard is shilling a lot to break into the japanese market, because it is fuckhuge and almost no western developer could get a foothold so far. They cater a lot to animu tasts but the fundamental problem is that most Blizzard games are very competetive and that is something Japanese players simply can't stand. Also, the PC userbase is really, really small so they have to do it via consoles.

I doubt that they will have a lot of success. 2ch speaks a bit about it, but they are overly critical, as expected from jp /v/.

That's just because Blizzard themselves are massive weeaboos.
>>
>>337377079
There is a difference between a hard game that you have to play WITH other people, aka monster hunter co-op, and most Blizzard games that you have to play AGAINST others. Japanese really dislike the latter. That is why I doubt Overwatch will take off. With a bit of luck it forms a few circles that specialize on doujinshi but other than that I don't see it taking off.

Well you can play OW with friends aswell but you're probably right that Japan tends to be soft on competitive shooters. It will probably do better than the average FPS but nowhere near a series like MH. But they really liked Splatoon so who knows.

Overwatch is the Mario Kart of first person shooters. It's colorful and has a large variety of characters for everybody from moefags to bara lovers to people with a fetish for power armor/robots. Its easy barrier to entry and gameplay being more based on teamwork than actual technical skill also helps ease in the Japs who typically aren't very good at these sorts of games.

Also all the shorts are constantly compared to Disney Pixar stuff and Japs love Disney.

it's about as "star-studded" as the English cast which really only splurged for Mercer as far as I'm aware.

frankly I prefer the approach of casting underused B- and C-listers, I'd honestly rather not be constantly distracted by recognizing Yuki Kaji or Hanakawa every 2 seconds, or in English, Yuri Lowenthal or Nolan North.

The performances they got are good and easily distinguishable from each other and suit the characters. I like them. The approach worked for TF2 and I'd say it works here, too

I really don't understand this at all.

It MIGHT be cool to hear hanzo and genji speak japanese, but it just ruins every other character.

Hearing a nip McCree, Reaper, or any english speaking character would drive me fucking crazy.

Yeah, Jap voices don't really work for anyone besides Hanzo and Genji, maybe Mei. They could have went the Street Fighter route and made it so you could set voice language individually for every hero.

> very competetive and that is something Japanese players simply can't stand.
I guess that's why they suck at fighting games so much

I actually think the english set of voices is fine. I can see people switching because they recognize one of the japanese voices somewhere else, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with the english version.

How come american VA's can't do japanese games that well, then?
>>
>>337404172
English voices sound good. The only problem is the writing but hey it's a Blizzard game.

It's a cultural thing.

Anime is huge in japan, even moreso than film and television, so VAs get more fame and recognition, which legitimizes them more.

The US has some fantastic voice actors, but because of American culture, VAs are usually considered second fiddle to real film actors.

In the end it has nothing to do with actual voice quality, it's a societal and cultural thing where jap VA's are considered better because they're considered better.
>>
>>337404331

I don't see the problem with the writing, Overwatch is basically Blizzard's version of The Incredibles, it's supposed to come off as cheesy and non-aggressive

>>337404172
English VAs can do Japanese games well. It's just that it sometimes depends on the game. Games like Neptunia and Senran Kagura don't mesh well with English voice acting, for example, but other Japanese games like Metal Gear Solid and Street Fighter are better with English voices for the most part.

Then again, this is just my opinion. Sub vs dub is always a subjective thing in the end. Neither side is right or wrong.
