Why do Japs have such an affinity for black goo, anyway? Does that come from a popular legend there or something?

Black goo in FFXV is from the plague cursing and corrupting people into demons.
Black goo in Death Standing is oil.
Black goo in other one is a goo monster.

Jacob Scott
It's also the main enemy in Prey which is why I hate it. Such a boring, unoriginal enemy design that is extremely unsatisfying to kill.
Zachary Nelson
>Japs have no creativity
No shit.
There's five guys in Japan who actually consumed a little Western culture and ripped it off and then everyone in Japan has been ripping their work off ever since. Japs don't like creativity, they like familiarity, that like character tropes, they like whinging teens and edgelord villains, they like cute prepubescent girls, they are culturally deficient.
