When I was a younger kid.

RPGs were huge back in the days and I loved how the Japanese games had varied enviorments and unique themes. While the western games while usually better writing had some variation of elves,orcs and dwarves which was boring as fuck. It turned me off to western gaming until I was in my early 20s with the start of the 7th generation and thats when japanese games started to fall off and I started to try more western games. I feel like I missed out on a bunch of western classics but they don't appeal to me at all.

Exactly. And since PC exclusive games are a rare thing nowadays, Jap devs hold the advantage. Basically western devs are at disadvantage because they can't make dedicated games on PC the way they used to. Even fucking Blizzard is now making console games instead.

There are still a decent amount of Japanese games being released. The only problem now is how the situation has switched. Back then, it was the Japanese titles on console that are mainstream while Western titles stayed niche and on PC. Nowadays, it's Western titles that are popular and Japanese titles have been pushed back as niche console titles.

I do occasionally enjoy western games
2 off the top of my head I remember really enjoying recently are Skyrim and UFC2
But it wasn't long ago that I accepted that Japanese games were just flat-out, objectively better compared than murican games.
Weird how they didn't make video games, yet they were able to perfect it, while nip vidya developers are constantly pushing themself to the edge when making games, western developers seem to lounge around a lot and make silly YouTube videos to advertise the game as an excuse to not work.
I didn't want to believe it because I thought if I legitimately did, I would have weeb beliefs but it's true, I'm not a weeb, eastern games are better than western games hands down.
They show so much more respect for the medium.
I could go on for ages on why nip developers are much better than murican developers.
>>
>>333044981
So mostly strategy and fps mostly i'll give you that.

I'd say they are tied on 3rd person shooters. The west loses hard in arcade games. And the west I'd say is better at MMOs if that means anything.

But the reverse cannot possibly be true. It can't be that people convince themselves that their exclusives are special little toys that only they get to play with, and they really ARE good, and the people who can't* play them are just jealous.

*We can play them by the way. We could go to the store and buy the $400 console to play its one $60 game. We have determined that it isn't worth it - But that just isn't a thing in your retarded little head.

I didn't talk about social justice in my post. The only reason it was in the pic he posted was because he needed a strawman to make his shitty bait pic.

Could very well come from a game like Dragon's Dogma or Nier considering the amount of old women NPCs in those games.

I don't know why, but I could never get into most SRPGs. Its like you have to ignore the strategy part of the genre as leveling characters you like is more important than proper tactics of any sort. I usually just turned one character into a walking death machine and brute forced my way through the game.

Probably with the introduction of GOG and PC Master Race. I grew up with a PC and looking back on the games in the 90's, there is only a handful I would consider timeless classics over the console games. When I look at that old shit again on GOG, I wonder why ANYONE would play it.

The whole PC Master Race thing has ruined it as well. A shameful crowd who wasn't THERE back when it MATTERED.

Taking that into this millennium, you start to look at the first big western console; the XBOX and it's library is just shit. Overflowing with tryhard 3D platformers and bullshit.

Move on to the 360 and there was a lot more western games that you would consider classics today, but very few of them are timeless. They are just the best until the better thing comes along? Why play GTAIV when you can play GTAV? It's just manufactured shit.

Meanwhile you got all these Cave releases that just keep going up in price because they are instant classics; Death Smiles, DoDonPachi Dai Fukatsu, Mushihimesama Futari.... Those are real games.

Western games had their golden age in the 70's and everything else is just fabricated to make money... Not for the LOVE of the craft, like the Japanese have.

I don't play a lot of modern Western titles but it bugs me how many weebs don't grasp that the West broke the ground and pioneered almost all the genres they love today.

Nihon also has a ton of shovelware with arguably higher production values but just as soulless and disposable.

>its faggots like you that are making jap devs self-censor themselves because they don't want to deal with westerner bitching

There is literally nothing "making" them self-censor. Outside of a few major franchises, Japanese developers don't even think about any market outside of Japan and maybe SE Asia when developing games. If they wanted to they'd tell sjws to fuck off, but they won't because it might mean lost profits.

I have no sympathy for developers who cave into pressure whether they're Japanese or Western. Hey, no shame in wanting money but if you're going to bend over and play safe and do anything to chase the dollar then you forfeit the right to bitch about it after.

Sometime in the seventh gen when I realized that the West couldn't design boss battles for fucking shit and when I realized that most of the best games with deep, engaging gameplay or just fun gameplay in general, were Japanese.

Western games are shit cuz they're all generic and bland as fuck. Jap games are shit now because they're pandering to ugly western, dry cunt housewives (see SFV censoring) and making gameplay easy cuz the average American is dumber than the average Asian. Jap centric games are anime heavy and that's whatever, but the best games are made by Japanese developers who channel their inner Westerboo, and don't cow down to sandy twat feminists. Case closed.

I don't explicitly dislike western games in general. I just hate the AAA cinematic trash with just enough player input to be considered a video game that most westerners eat up.

I want to be able to like a lot of western games, but that likely won't happen until they become video games again.
