Are JRPGs the most polarizing types of games?
I've noticed that the opinions most have on them are either "This is the best game ever 10/10, you must be an uncultured American to dislike this deep look into the human psyche" or "Fucking awful weebshit, anime was a mistake, I hate these faggy looking emo guys" with absolutely no middle ground whatsoever. And it isn't just on Sup Forums. I've noticed most review sites are the same way. What gives?
this is a thicc thread now
How else will I attract both types of angry fanboys to the thread?
Only horny autists like games like that.
Look at the first two posts in the thread for reference

What about Chrono Trigger?
If you like the waifus you love them.
If you don't you hate them.
Not much else to discuss.
Worth the life savings?
Untrue, I like waifus, but just prefer playing a simulator like Honey Select over Ni No Kuni.
>tfw no jrpg where girls level up into gyarus and learn about pure love
Gyarus aren't pure, stop it, next you'll be talking about how Ganguros aren't totally hideous.
>my head will never be between there
JRPG is literature, WRPG is genre shit.
They can be MADE pure. Also, some aren't sluts.
On what grounds? Serious question here. Does that include games like Quest 64?
Sonic Meat best girl
>This is the best game ever 10/10
That's dealing with the internet. I do however read all 0-5 reviews to look for common points between them.
What are the common points between high and low reviews? The same part of the game, but with a different experience of that part? I saw that happen a lot in Final Fantasy XI
Well, the same grounds literary fiction is literary fiction and genre fiction is genre fiction.
What makes you think that JRPGs are closer to literary fiction than genre fiction?
There's a bunch of bullshit involved really.
Reviewers have always hated jrpgs from way, way back. It's a long-standing tradition that predates a lot of today's memes. At one time, there weren't that many WRPGs to review that weren't on the PC(which was rarely ever reviewed outside of pc-centric publications), so it was a sort-of "fuck this slow shit, we'd rather be playing madden" thing.
In the SJW age, jrpg designs are more likely to be flirtatious, which attracts MUH SEXUALIZATION shitters.
The more moe a style looks, the more assgravated some people get, since they'd rather have grimdark mcspikegloom than color and cuteness.
Sup Forums definitively started the "all weebshit is crap" meme that gets applied to anything remotely japanese though. When it's expressed like that outside of Sup Forums, it's pretty much just taking cues from the angry westacucks on here.
>This is the best game ever 10/10, you must be an uncultured American to dislike this deep look into the human psyche
People who have not played a JRPG in a long time
>Fucking awful weebshit, anime was a mistake, I hate these faggy looking emo guys
People who have not played a JRPG
Basically Sup Forums is a pretty shitty place to try and talk about JRPGs.
That's because you have opinions originating from two polarized sources.
You have the cancerous braindead high school dropout weeaboos who are obviously biased as all shit.
Then you have normal people with a functioning brain who can see that the game is pure trash and only selling to the weeaboos because it tries to pander to their socially inept, permavirgin asses.
Cool post to try and call other people biased in.
Didn't the incredibly harsh reviews start gaining traction in the early 2000s with X-Play? I thought back in the 1990s everyone was excited for games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VII, at least from the publications I read at the time.
Thanks for the unbiased opinion senpai>
>Sup Forums definitively started the "all weebshit is crap" meme that gets applied to anything remotely japanese though
This is something that really annoys me
>make a thread about Guilty Gear
>dude says "this looks like shit"
>I say "What's wrong with it? Too many defensive options? You don't like the movement? The combos are too long?"
>he just says "I've never played it, but it looks like gay weebshit, so the gameplay probably sucks."
You're free to dislike GG, of course, as it has many flaws, but this new school of argument gets a bit tiresome at times.
You're welcome.
Normal people don't have any agenda or motive. We're not mindlessly bashing anything. We're just not biased and can see the legitimate lack of substance or gameplay. Naturally if you're a weeaboo and therefore biased, it will seem like the opposite party is biased because it conflicts with your own disproportionate view.
Square always won because it was almost heresy to criticize them. Everything else, magazines were sort-of bipolar.
They'd make big 2-4 page features about them during development to make them sound hype as fuck, then yawn when it came time to actually judge the result.
So you admit the game is severely flawed, but you just buy into it because of all the gay weebshit?
Sounds like the guy was right. Why are you bitching?
What about the people on Sup Forums that make obviously racist comments based on the game's country of origin? That's going far beyond being normal.
>Normal people don't have any agenda or motive
You clearly aren't normal by your own definition then.
Normal people aren't that aggressively pissed at anime fans, nor do they shitpost on videogame message boards.
>bullshit: the post
>Being a kermit
You certainly can't read, go back to school.
normies don't like jrpg's all they want to do is shoot stuff
The video game section of a heavily Japanese/anime influenced board at that.
What fighting game is perfect? Mortal Kombat and Tekken have preposterously long juggle combos but are still well received. That aside, I wouldn't call the game "severely" flawed in comparison to other fighting games. I was just wondering why the guy disliked it, since I like seeing different opinions on things rather than an echo chamber of my own. I'm fine with GG having bursts, blitz counters, and dead angle attacks, but I wanted to see if that bothered others and why.
Back to /fgg/
Theyre slow burning and reliant on your willingness to engage with them.
it ain't easy
Then please, oh wise one, tell me what my motive is other than educate the clearly uneducated?
Those people are extremists for sure, and should be ignored. There's plenty of good to come out of Japan, just like there's bad sources to come from the West.
Normal people aren't pissed at weeaboos, more so disgusted or struggle to try to understand the way their faulty reasoning and logic. Plus normal people like video games, and so seeing a market degenerate by selling to the lowest common denominator is a worrying concept. It's why CoD is frowned on, same reason as weebshit.
I'm really glad this series took off.
>turd horns
The only thing I dislike about weebs is their tendency to get belligerent and hostile any time you disagree with them or suggest something not-weeb.
Weebs take moderate positions and blow them far out of proportion. For example, just the other day, I said I didn't like the spiky hair styles that SquareEnix tends to give their characters.
Some weeb faggot responds with all these accusations that I hate all JRPGs, and that I should stick to western trash. Weebs always go full tilt, when you say something critical about their games. With the way they react to criticism, you would think that opinions are polarized, but they're not. Weebs can't live in a world of moderate opinions. They won't allow it.
No, normal people don't have an opinion on anime fans, they may see them at a bookstore or something, then they move on thinking about what they're going to do for dinner or when they have to go pick up their kids. Normal people don't have time to be disgusted by niche hobbies that aren't being dragged into the public eye.
>Basically Sup Forums is a pretty shitty place to try and talk about JRPGs.
Because weaboos that belong on Sup Forums have such shit taste and don't even know it that they don't fit in around people that won't love a game just for being glorious nippon.
I'm not even saying XV is bad, my friend is going on about how fun it is. He has pretty good taste so I'll take his word for it. But the weaboo faggots that eat up every single new final fantasy installment no matter how little it's changed and praise it as an amazing game are the same fucking shits that talk about how Bleach isn't a bad anime up until soul society. People that should literally kill themselves for having such bad taste yet sit on Sup Forums circle jerking about how refined their tastes are.
...
Normalfags are the ones buying CoD, though. Also, normalfags don't even know what the fuck a weeaboo is. It's mostly guys that spend way too much time on the internet that care that much, e.g., other nerds that are just on the other side of the bias pendulum. Reminds me of an encounter I had with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. Both of them came by my house one day, with one being a regular, fairly nice guy, while the other is the kind of person that will say anything to get girls to like him and posts on forums about guitars all day. I asked them if they wanted to play some Smash brothers since we used to like it, and the first guy said "I haven't played in a while, but sure, I'll try it out" and the other guy said "I'm not a baby, so I don't want to play a game with no narrative where you just fight cartoons all day," then proceeded to look angry while myself and the other guy had fun.
It was a hundred bucks
>Normalfags are the ones buying CoD
That's why their most loyal and rabid fanbase is usually kids or young teens with severe social and mental disorders?
>Normalfags don't know what the fuck a weeaboo is
I seem to get by just fine. I think you don't know what normal is.
Most people tend to become hostile when your disagreement is phrased in an insulting way that derides them personally for liking a thing at all.
If you're regularly met with a high degree of hostility, you may wish to consider that you are, in fact, just being an asshole to people.
That's all people on Sup Forums. Try saying something bad about The Witcher 1.
second guy is literally a homosexual
>Most people tend to become hostile when your disagreement is phrased in an insulting way that derides them personally for liking a thing at all.
Never understood this.
>guy a says "x is awful and you should feel terrible for liking it"
>guy b says "that is a bit harsh. Are you sure you aren't exaggerating how serious it is?"
>guy a goes "Heh, why are you so triggered? I'm not talking about you specifically you fucking idiot."
Which is exactly why I don't go to Sup Forums anymore since any thread about "capeshit" devolves into that.
It's dumb to generalize because JRPG doesn't even mean anything other than the game being made in japan. Especially in the modern day when people decided RPG means stats and every single game is considered an RPG something hybrid.
Yeah super cute with fat and muscle. 10/10 would wife and cook for
Some people have shitty reasons for why things are good or bad, and some can't articulate themselves at all. A good review is well thought out and communicative.
Because JRPGs actually explore their themes and philosophies, they are not restricted to some genre of fantasy like "cyberpunk" or even "D&D".
I actually get that reaction a lot when comparing VNs to OTHER VNs. Somehow, saying I liked Taimanin Asagi more than Clannad makes me a normalfag.
But Sup Forums hates bleach
though probably only because it got popular with normalfags
>shitposts on Sup Forums
>claims to be a normalfag
Why would a regular person come to a site full of anime porn?
Idunno I'm pretty much a huge shameless weeb but don't like most JRPGs. If it actually has good gameplay I'm all about that but 9/10 turn based rpgs I can't get into.
I've also never cared about Final Fantasy as a series in spite of it being like, the flagship of JRPG. Crystal Chronicles was fun, Tactics was fun, but the mainline has never even once managed to appeal to me besides a handful of character designs and that isn't worth it.
Pochacomi weight gain game when
There's nothing polarizing here, i will take Dark Souls, Nocturne, Tales of the Abyss, etc... over any western RP"G" the west shits out. It's just superior.
>Don't go to the weeb porn boards or the blatantly off topic shitposting threads that are easy as fuck to see, much less filter
Damn, that was just too difficult to do!
I understand it, and I expect it on most boards here, since it's easy to vent your spleen like that.
What's amazing is when someone seriously asks the last part though, yeah. It's like those old caricatures of bullies legit not understanding why scaring and hurting people makes them the bad guy.
Like, what the fuck do you expect to happen when you talk to people like that?
And who is the "loyal fanbase" of adult games? In fact, since we're talking about games that we see adults playing, Pokemon is the first thing that comes to mind, as it's really the only game my aunt and mother like. Well, that and Candy Crush
...
>Watermarked memes
Why not just post on reddit? Their community is much more normal. Even if you're going to Sup Forums and such exclusively, you still have to deal with the opinions of people that probably like things you don't.
Sadly never.
For the love of god, source.
Do you like big girls?
There's another weight gain chapter
Blessed user, I'm grateful.
Posting the god of huge breasts and thicc
some jrgps are really good video games
others instead opt to focus on moeshit or yaoi for sales and the game suffers
there's also an issue of game difficulty. devs seem to think that if a game is easier, it means more people can play it and that means more sales.
The tales of series got hit hard with these issues. So did final fantasy. Dragon quest is starting to go down that road too.
Does he browse Sup Forums or something? It's called Thick Training for crying out loud.
Pokemon doesn't really have any one core audience. Rather, you've got the people that follow the latest trend, the nostalgiafags, the weeaboos, the nintenyearolds, and even furfags.
opt to focus on moeshit yaoi
>he says while posting a game with a guy crosdressing and getting in a hot tub with a bunch of guys
>Why not just post on reddit
And here we see the weeaboo in his natural habitat, crying upon baring witness to someone who doesn't agree with him 100%.
If you want an echo-chamber hugbox, it sounds more like reddit is your speed. Perhaps you should consider your own advice.
...
what a fucking shameless fatty
>logs of shit sticking out of her head
Waifufaggots, everyone.
>Are JRPGs the most polarizing types of games?
No.
>I've noticed that the opinions most have on them are either "This is the best game ever 10/10, you must be an uncultured American to dislike this deep look into the human psyche" or "Fucking awful weebshit, anime was a mistake, I hate these faggy looking emo guys" with absolutely no middle ground whatsoever.
It has nothing to do with the games and all to do with the insecure fucks who play them.
You are misinterpreting my comment. I just mean that I don't see why a person that dislikes those things would go to a site that has a focus on it, ads for it, et cetera. For example, I do not find the discussion of automobiles or Islam that interesting, so I would never join a car or Islam related forum just to discuss, say, food or music, in its off topic section. The whole endeavor seems pointless and it would make more sense to just go to a site that doesn't have the kinds of things you dislike to that degree.
>others instead opt to focus on moeshit or yaoi for sales and the game suffers
They're not always made for general audiences. People don't seem understand this until they accidentally buy an otome game.
*bearing
Thanks autocorrect. The weeaboo can stay a virgin.
>Sup Forums, the fetish board
go home and die
>the insecure fucks who play them
But why do these kinds of games draw out so much insecurity?
>A focus
Except the majority of boards aren't weeaboo shit. Are you retarded?
14 total boards out of nearly 60 is nowhere near the majority, much less focus.
Yeah Sup Forums is trash. I'm not even a weeb but I like watching some anime. Took 2 of their recommendations and both were shallow trash. Same thing with the JRPG's they recommend are trash. Even had someone tell me Suikoden series was absolute trash.
Anime girls with lewd but not-obscene body writing are my fetish
>Even had someone tell me Suikoden series was absolute trash.
Only 2 and 5 are worth shit. It's not a great series.
Suikoden gets a lot of pushback anywhere you go, thanks to the autistic fans of 2. That's not just an Sup Forums thing.
>using virgin as an insult
You try to give off an air of maturity, and yet you result to sophmoric and petty insults more fitting of a child in high school. And yet, you still want us to believe that you are normal? A regular person would never say something like that. I think you need to grow up a little more in order to stop having these knee jerk reactions in order to react to your own self fulfilling prophecies.
The site was founded for anime discussion, though. Most boards have a Japanese flavor to them and this website is literally a copy of another Japanese website. The boards that were added later were made for the sake of the original members to discuss those things, e.g., for guys that like anime to discuss music or weapons, not for guys that do not like those things but want to discuss them, for there were already sites for those people to discuss those things. You haven't been here very long, have you?
The site's themed after a japenese website. Sup Forums (and Sup Forums) was earliest boards on here. Back when moot still owned the places, there were always ads for anime games/merc and many of the banners advertising other boards feature anime.
I'm not even the user you responded to but try not to be such a newfag next time.
