How come Japan is the only Asian country playing Overwatch on console?

Why are they so fucking backwards?

Aren't consoles "banned" in China? That's why they have such a strong PC market.

Also a bunch of Chinese hackers got banned a few weeks ago, there are definitely people playing.

>Japan is the master race
is that why they have been incredibly backwards and barbaric compared to the rest of the world for most of their history? fighting with bent swords and rickety canoes, while the rest of the world had steam engines and rifles? the only time their development spiked is when they made contact with first the poortuguese and then the brits and burgers

Japanese used to be the best game designers maybe 10 or 20 years ago, now they're just shit. I've been browsing this board for 11 years, I was a massive weeaboo as a teen and played shittons of Japanese games. Now I just fucking hate everything Japanese except for rare exceptions.

All the games the Nips pump out now just seem tailor made for nerdy weebs who have zero sense of reality and want to escape into a world where gameplay mechanics don't matter and the entire world is full of skimpily dressed teenagers with shrill voices. the only Japanese game I can enjoy anymore is Street Fighter because at least the gameplay is good. The JRPGs that come out now are all pedophile games.

If you're not a beta male who's never seen a vagina in your life, eventually all this disgusting anime shit starts to disgust you and you'd rather play actually good video games.

I have been on this website far longer than you. When I was a teenager I played a steady diet of Third Strike, Guilty Gear XX, King of Fighters, I had tons of Nintendo games (I loved Metroid, Donkey Kong, Star Fox games, Smash Bros., F-Zero GX, sad to see what Nintendo has become), I've literally owned every Nintendo console ever made (including the Wii U, which I sold last year because I lost all faith in the company). Nintendo today is not the Nintendo I grew up with that made fun, challenging and original games. I used to love JRPGs, I grew up with Xenogears, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Disgaea, Shin Megami Tensei, Persona). I think that Final Fantasy XIII was the exact point in time when JRPGs completely went to ass, now they are just pantsu simulators with shitty gameplay for the most part. I only hope the new Shin Megami Tensei and Persona 5 will be decent.

The only games for PS4 I've truly enjoyed lately are Metal Gear Solid V (which was still pretty good despite Konami cutting Kojima off from finishing the game) and Street Fighter.

Yes I don't have a rational mind because I can smell when the Japanese game industry has gone to shit. The only decent franchises Japan has anymore is Souls and a few fighting game series. There's nothing else to be gotten out of these people's market anymore. The old Japanese SNES and Sony games (old Metal Gears, Symphony of the Night, etc.), games of that caliber rarely ever come out of Japan anymore. I think it's obvious that the tide has shifted, and what Japan produces now simply for the most part, does not cater to me. It caters to the weeaboos and the mentally ill.

4chan is a board created by an American teenager who stole Japanese source code, and eventually sold the website to a Japanese millionaire.

I'm here because this is the only place you can still talk about pretty much anything. Weeaboos be damned, Hiro is one of the few decent Nipponese people because he's not a loser, made millions of dollars by himself and actually fucks a woman sometimes.

PSO2 just release on console after being PC for 5 years. It was a huge success and one of the reason why SEGA is still around. It also helped them work on releasing other projects.
