When the west learns how to make games you can actually play. They left the idea of gameplay back in the 90s once they found out they could just make movies you press X to play the next scene.

I know you're being facetious and all, but I want you to list the differences between every Call of Duty since 2011. Now do the same with Neptunia, Senran Kagura, and even Pokemon.

Japan does the exact same shit the west does. The only difference between the two is the fact that Japanese games are almost exclusively marketed to the waifu audience.

This isnt even vaguely close to true. The only genre that fits this bill is JRPGs, and even then "almost exclusively" is a stretch.

How ironic since it was the Japanese who invented QTEs. How ironic since it was the Japanese who popularized games with heavy focus on the cinematics, MGS even being touted as 'a movie you can play'.

Japanese games have neither. Unless you want to argue that "press triangle to fanservice" is more gameplay than "press X to Batman".
>>
>>337211257
why is everything on the left a screenshot from trailers and promo screens, and everything on the right a screen from the game it self?
>>
>>337212880
Not him, but if by "waifu" you meant something like Persona or Nepnep then I have many titles for you:
>Soul series
>Star fox
>Dragon dogma
>DMC games
>RE games
>Nioh
>Ninja gaiden
>W101
>Metal gears
>Silent hills
>FF XV

Surely you can have "waifu" in your silent hill game but they are no way "pandering".
tl;dr Nisekoi is shit and it reflects the brain of the poster: shit. I bet you think that Madoka is the best anime, faggot.

>exclusively marketed
I can name hundreds of Japanese games not "exclusively marketed" to the waifu market. I can't on the other hand, name a large number of games that don't contain a female character that somebody somewhere refers to as their "waifu".

MGS5, for example, was not exclusively marketed to the waifu audience. It did, however, contain the quiet who could be considered a waifu bait character. But to answer your request with recent games:
Nioh
Star Fox Zero
Monster Hunter 4/X
Pokemon Sun/Moon
Final Fantasy 15
The Last Guardian
Dark Souls
Ace Attorney 6

Yeah sure, try to press X in devil may cry.

Persona isn't even marketed based on waifus. Watch the p5 trailer - it places no focus on the dating aspect.

>>337213298
dont worry pal, i was just acting retarded for the sake of others.

Yeah, they haven't even shown anything of the social link or whatever systems are in the game.

I feel like the West has made a major step down in pretty much every genre.

Skyrim is a major downgrade from TES3 and 4.
Fallout 4 is a downgrade.
Tomb raider remake is a major downgrade in term of puzzles and difficulty.
LoL is a dumb down Dota, which is a dumb down strategy game.
RTSs are dead.
Dragon age II and Inquisition is also a downgrade.
Mass effects 3 is a downgrade.
Halo 5 is a downgrade.

I don't know man. I only play a few western games now, and they are not even recent.

Doesn't the Jap automatically win when you start arguing about "The west vs Japan"?
It takes every single western countries to hold a candle to Japan. Isn't that shameful?

everyone on /v/ knows western aaa games win in mainstream any time. what is your complaint.
>>
>>337214454
that people buy what ever is advertised to death by rich publishers and not actualy good games, one of big reasons why core gamers always talk about japanese games being so good while average people that own consoles buy every year same games ''cod, fifa, assassins creed'' and play only that, and ofc dont actualy go to discuss games that much.
