I'm guessing that Skyrim is the first open-world game they ever played?

...

Why can nobody properly spell weeaboo?

Japs have shit-tier tastes, they just make the better games is all.

I'm pretty sure everyone by now knows that Japan has shit taste even though they make good video games. You can see the same thing reflected by their taste in anime.

Notice how everything inspired by Skyrim has been shit. It's not simply a bad game, it's also detrimental to series that have nothing to do with it.

Japanese developers have been around 5 years behind Western devs since PS2/GCN/Xbox era.

In a lot of areas that gap has widened and shortened but they're still far behind.

Pretty much, this is also why their games are still decent unlike the west

WEEABOO FAGGOTS

BLOWN THE FUCK OUT

Every devs makes good and bad games, Euros, Japs, Muricans, don't be a weeaboo.

wow it's almost like casuals everywhere don't notice that skyrim has the depth of a kiddie pool

For all its flaws (And there are many), the core of what Skyrim is is still pretty great. Even shitty as it is now, it still is one of the few who manage to do the "Open world" Meme well enough to keep people playing for years.

Can't speak for anyone else, but the only thing that's kept me playing it is the smut mods.

I swear if it's anything like Skyrim they can shove their nx up their asses sideways. I was tempted to buy it because I'm just a huge fanboy but it's shit like this why Nintendo is absolute trash since years. Their fans grew up, they didn't and I feel like they struggle to get kids interested because every little shit and his grandma have a smartphone with a fuckload of free or cheap games. They even know it and try to poke their 2inch asian cock in the smartphone market, but they are still in fucking denial that their company ideals and ethics are garbage.

i'm so fucking sick of hearing about skyrim

it wasn't that fucking great
jesus christ
what is with people's obsession with that stupid game

...

And once again Kamiya was the only one who was right.

Not surprising, they follow what's popular and try to make quick bucks from it. Skyrim sold 7 millions copies in the first week, this is more than what the average Japanese game can make in it's lifetime.

That's fair. The modding community is probably the largest for any series ever, and that's another credit to what they can do right. Even if they don't know how to fill their world with anything of substance, everyone else will come in and do it for them. You'd never see that to such an extent with any other game.

Shit, even the Japs spend obscene amounts of time modding TES games (Which they never share with us)

It sold about 20 times more than dark souls. Normies are the people where they can rake in money. It's natural for a company to do so.

Because the more money a game makes, the """"""""""better""""""""""" it is in a companies eyes. Even if it's literally a game about eating shit... if it sells 40 million copies, companies will try to also be this successful.

Then the old standard for mainstream JRPGs had the depth of a puddle of rain water.

>2 decades difference
also old jrpgs were made on purpose for kids and casuals, old elder scrolls games were definitely not

>'Legend Of Zelda’ For Wii U Will Be Similar To ‘Skyrim,' Confirms Game’s Producer
oh boy here we go again!

Everyone who shitposts about Skyrim has at least 100 hours logged, probably more

It's a dead game now with no real reason to play it again but let's not try to rewrite history

I enjoyed it but that doesn't mean it doesn't have some glaring flaws.

The fact that I played with 150 mods installed is testament to that.

Skyrim is based and white.
