What western games are popular in Japan?
What pre-2000 western games are popular in Japan?

Its outdated and arachic

skyrim

It was at one point. My cousins family had a jap exchange student and he brought doom95 with him to america.

Because western games weren't that good back then.

...

>that image

Explain

Japs have shit taste.

Skyrim
Wizardry

are the most popular examples of each

there are literally hundreds of Japanese Wizardry remakes or clones

Then why don't they like DOOM?

Auto aim and cant jump, Doom is awful by today's standards.

Japan hates virtually everything not japanese.

More news at 11.

It's not effeminate enough.

The japanese community got together and made a megawad.

Because they have shit taste.

This.

Skyrim and Battlefield 4 are taking up too much of their western gaming time

...

No little girls

>art by that japan doomer girl
Cute
Zero interest in handful of genres, FPS being one of them.

They have no taste

>tfw no Doom mod where all the demons have been replaced with anime girls

Because Japs prefer role-playing games to shooters. This has been a thing since forever.
Hell, find me ONE modern first-person shooter made by nips.

Binary Domain is third person so does that count?

>what is HDoom

HDoom is close enough.

So why don't they like DOOM then

Japs get sick from FPS and they don't like violence and gore.
Japanese games that do have heavy violence and gore are made for the international market or are made by Japanese people who like non-Japanese stuff

Minecraft and Counter strike

Because DOOM is a cornerstone essential title which requires good taste to appreciate.

Brutal Doom is pretty much all you need

>Creepy Bone


what did he MEEEEEEAAAAAN by this?

its about as Western as you can get

Good joke

Ok, explain why Doom is bad then.

>a cornerstone essential title which requires good taste to appreciate
That's not how taste works

>You can't look up or down
>You can't jump
>The graphics are horrible
>The level design is just confusing and doesn't tell you where to go
>Puzzles
>The music ruins the mood

Shall I go on? It's one of the most overrated games I've ever played. Give me Bioshock any day.

>no vertical aim
>no vertical mobility
>retarded AI that just slowly walk and shoot slow projectiles
>repetitive looking levels
>literally the same objective ever level
>terrible controls
>auto aim out the ass

Almost got me, work on the punchline.

nobody cares

>can't think of a rebuttal cause he got BTFO

it's as popular as it's on Sup Forums. You occasionally see a thread about it on 2chan

...

...

...

cuz the damn ching chongs aint good at nothin but math and picking rice

...

FPS before the invention of the mouse was a mistake

>DooM
>capital D and M
but what does it mean

...

what does this even mean?

They got it before us, so they got sick of it faster.

...

Dead oo Money

...

because

>those swole as fuck Pain Elementals

...

Overwatch ;^)

So no FPS games? Are you one of those mongoloids who thinks that Doom had no mouselook?

don't take the bait, fag

...

Because FPS's are a very American thing.

How has no one made a Doom Warhammer mod?

why isn't doom popular amongst weebs?

Wizardry is responsible for pretty much all JRPGs

it didn't until ultimate

The Call of Duty games usually sell pretty well there.

It's PC.

Bait harder faggot

I wanna paizuri that demon

minecraft
overwatch
call of duty

It always had it. It's even recommended in the manual. Don't spread this shitty meme

>Bioshock
>When System Shock exists

then why are americans so bad at them?

Thanks user. Fucking savedn

It's true. My dad works for nintendo in japan

>using kanji for numeric stats

for what purpose

I don't get it.

People saying Japs don't play FPS games don't know what they're talking about. I know there's a lot of Japs into Overwatch right now, and I remember there were a lot of Japs that played Halo 3

I think you mean IRL shootemups.

Did Arino ever get to play Doom?

Because they're jealous that during the time of Japan's "economic miracle" era of the 80's and with a force in gaming like Nintendo on their side, and when they dominated the market of electronics, that Carmack-sama single handedly led America to dominate the realm of PC gaming.

Japanese get really butt blasted when a foreigner can do something better than them, something that they thought they were superior at doing.

The only good thing yuropeens are good at is blowing themselves up with their Arabic friends.

Because noone ever made porn with the cyberdemon, and noone ever drew spidey mastermind-tan.

If both of those two conditions were fulfilled, it would still take off there bigger than it ever did in the west.

I think those are actually Aracnotrons, Without their robotic legs, Who can also fly for some reason

Man, how the fuck did Touhou get popular amongst the plethora of better shmups being released in Japanese arcades in the 90's?

It's based off a Megawad called "Valiant", where Arachnotrons can leave their mechs after death and fly.

From what I understand is that (pre-2000) Japanese disliked first person view because they could not see the character. It was a question of immersion, but I could be wrong.

There is a special version of HL2 for the Japanese arcades, the difference is astounding

youtube.com/watch?v=vbF0ooRJWkI

It's a Aracnorb. Form the realm 667 repository

>they could not see the character

Let me rephrase that: opposed to third person or birds eye view.

Probably "too violent". Same reason they haven't had a Mortal Kombat game since 3.

For a country that made a movie called 'Tokyo Gore Police', they're really a bunch of sissies when it comes to video games.

Wow quality rebuttals

...

it's not a subway-groping simulator, and there are no cartoons to masturbate to
