Anyone else have a huge fallout with Western games? They're all obsessed with pushing their agendas instead of making good games, and it's driving me crazy.
Then I look at the stuff coming from Japan and it's like a miracle. Just look at pic related. That's a beautiful, cute female acting as the protagonist of a video game. It's so simple, but a Western developer LITERALLY is unable to do that, and all their protagonists are fucking ugly as sin (see Horizon).
What happened?
Daniel Rogers
could I get you to avoid posting? because I share a couple of your views and the way that you have presented them here is basically baiting people to disagree with you.
Nathaniel Edwards
Japs are pushing an agenda too you just prefer it over western agendas because you hate your own country like a typical beta
Landon Ward
>Japs are pushing an agenda too really? what is it?
Colton Turner
Yes Japanese games are clearly superior since the people who play them can't stop talking about Western games
Blake Cooper
Catering to weebs
Noah Peterson
I dunno. I have been enjoying both. I think you guys need to relax. Not everyone is out to get you. Neither are above criticism of course. And it seems you can even enjoy games even if you don't like the people making them or if you don't like the other fans of the game.
Alexander Clark
I stopped playing Western games because the gameplay has devolved into clunky terrible shit and clones of each other.
The gameplay is shallow as fuck and everything is too easy.
Jason Walker
Games are games, letting the region affect your judgement of the game makes you a dumb nigger and the exact kind of people that cheer a game on just because it's made by an omni-gender transblack.
Stop being retarded.
Colton Martinez
Horizon chick isn't even ugly. You need to get out of the "SJW-boogeyman are destroying gaming" mind set because you're making things a much bigger deal than they are.
Brandon Baker
I meant to add that Bioware is an exception. Bioware has gone full retard.
Elijah Ward
>Horizon chick isn't even ugly user, there's no need to lie.
Jason Carter
oh your serious?
Also, not posted on there, they made the main antagonist dress up as a roman centurion. Which if you've studied history, the left was actually what gave way to the fall of Rome. Yet for some reason it was the Roman's fault.
Joseph Reed
>What happened? Did you somehow totally miss the communist invasion of video games starting around 2012?
Jackson Sullivan
All i can say is that from the 20 games i bought this gen, the only western games are doom, witcher3 and uncharted 4, the rest is all made in japan
Landon Long
>creating exclusively fapbait isn't an agenda
Logan Hill
What really got me is hacking my 3DS. Then I got access to stuff like pic related and realized Jap developers are damn gods. One of the best designed games I've ever played, and the only reason people don't realize this is the lack of a PC release and the exposure that comes with it.
Connor Baker
Why do you guys obsess so much over how good the main characters look? i mean yeah it sucks when they dont look good, but have you considered how their looks should match their character and be relateable to the audience instead of just pandering to perverts?
i hate ugly characters as much as the next permavirgin, i absolutely hated fallout 3's character creation, but that didnt stop me from enjoyable the rest of the game.
Matthew Watson
I'm having trouble remembering when I last bought a western game. They just aren't very good. Nobody takes risks, everyone designs everything with diversity and inclusion in mind leaving everything sprawled out everywhere, afraid to offend someone or something. Every nice studio got old and lost their joy and love in creating pieces and replaced that passion with budgeting. What a shame.
Every western games message and ideology has been nearly the same over the last decade and lacks integrity and passion.
Connor Turner
play without lewd mode and you'll realize how shallow this game is
Aiden Bailey
>have some weeb friends >they all love japan send help
Luke Thompson
I don't think you know what agenda means.
Cameron Bell
MGSV is still my favorite game since it was released. It's sad no one released a game which topped it.
Carson Howard
>give filthy white gaijin fapfuel so they do not populate >take over world
Jonathan Hall
Or maybe they can throw into the trash their fucking sjw agenda and make good games.
Levi Bennett
To have fun.
Camden Green
You realize their games primarily target Japan, right?
Why are Sup Forumstards so stupid?
Andrew Stewart
You realize that no one who has played the game will fall for this bait right?
Jonathan Lewis
according to who?
Carter Cruz
Japanese games: >fapbait for ugly, fat weebs
Western games: >fapbait for ugly, fat SJWs
Nicholas Anderson
>Anyone else have a huge fallout with Western games? Yeah, Japan's had a lot of good games this past ye--
>. Just look at pic related. That's a beautiful, cute female acting as the protagonist of a video game Oh just go buy some Viagra and use it to go fuck yourself to death.
John Adams
This.
Wyatt Collins
It's really narrow of you to make the assumption that having attractive casts is somehow pandering. Years back, you could make a character very attractive and not be punished for it for not catering to people who are less attractive for mediums. It's nearly conditioning. It can send a message to girls who actually are beautiful that something is wrong with them or that they are in the wrong.
Ryder Ross
Aloy is hotter than 2B, though. And I haven't even played Horizon while I loved Nier Automata.
Dominic Wright
lol. Anyway i choose fuck sjw scum for mankind sake:3
Benjamin Moore
I currently play the same game and I love it but the gameplay is just shallow and the story is more than meh. It's good if you're a weeb but I don't understand all those gay "quirks" everyone has and their personalities aren't deeper than a piece of paper.
Jeremiah Perry
>"you have to buy and play the game to tell it's good or not" nice shilling bro maybe i'll try it if it isn't complete shit
Jackson Hall
>having fun and not caving to retarded minority groups for sales they will never get is an agenda
Chase Johnson
Good for you. Autsists need some loving as well.
Zachary Martinez
>They're all obsessed with pushing their agendas instead of making good games The Japanese agenda is that tits are life and ass is hometown. Also that games should be challenging and fun above all else. They have an agenda but you agree with that agenda.
Western devs value cinematic and "woke" experiences that allow them to virtue signals their beliefs in the most bland easy to play games possible. Challenging games wouldn't let people see how woke the story is so that's a no no.
Josiah Gonzalez
Aloy and 2B both act pretty autistically. Aloy because she's grown up as an outcast and 2B because of her affected emotional detachment.
Gavin Robinson
The thing is, now more and more western developers are straying away from this beauty ideal of an MC or NPCs due to SJWs and get bashed for "ugly" models when they're trying to convey that the beauty standards of most people are simply fucked up. A negative example would be Geralt who, according to the books, looks like a freak and in the game he looks like a male model with a few scars and cat eyes. Why not making him unique like a freak? Why are so many protags looking like they're the product of one long line of eugenics?
Elijah Howard
The japanese agenda is that ugly weebs fap to 2D and stop reproducing. You gigantic fags praise mediocre games because the ass of some two dimensional fuckdoll is looking extra realistic or unrealistically good. I don't care if you have fun, you can have all the fun you want. At least be honest with yourself.
Daniel Smith
No, those are the sub-par games in each Genre.
Good Jap games = Actually good games
Good Western games = Same old formula, edgy dark generic shit done over and over again
Also people like this are the idiots who let themselves believe a game is bad just because the main character is sexy. They literally can't see past the waifu-threads and think the game is automatically shit just because people make Rule 34 out of the main character. They are the real cucks here and they give games unfair scores because they're subtly brainwashed by the Western Agenda.
Joshua Carter
>unrealistically good.
But user, this is a real female and her proportions are that similar to 2B. She is a real female, how is it unrealistic?
Also you're the one that is pretty brainwashed that you can't see past a "sexy" looking character in order to enjoy a good game. Literally only insecure males blow sexiness out of proportion and score the game unfairly because they can't stop paying attention to the sexy looking character.
Cooper Fisher
>"no those aren't the REAL japanese games" >"if you looked past the glaring shortcomings of japanese games you would see how glorious they are" >"shit japanese games are shit due to THE WESTERN AGENDA" >sweeping generalization of western games You're the biggest fag ITT, please commit honorabu sudoku with sword folded a mirrion times.
Luke Hernandez
Western games will keep being shit because Western devs follow posts on neogaf and tumblr which affect their games in extremely negative ways.
Jap devs on the other hand don't give a shit about what neogaf or tumblr thinks.
Brandon Brooks
>it's not fapbait because it still looks somewhat human >everyone calling it out is a hypocrite because it still resembles a human You are forgiving the game being shit because you love the fapbait. There is no way to disprove this.
Mason Walker
justify this character design
Colton Cook
It makes my dick hard.
Levi Ward
The Japs are the only ones who still remember we like beautiful things for a reason, because they are innately attractive to us (no shit). Pic related is a 14 year old girl wearing a miniskirt who performs an elaborate fully-animated dance sequence in a visual novel lawyer game. Is that in anyway necessary? No. But I'm glad that it's there, and the game would definitely feel less fleshed out if it wasn't.
The West in comparison is going on a tirade of how beauty is a social construct therefore using beautiful things is bad and should be avoided in order to show how progressive we are. They would never have 14 year old girl perform a dance sequence, because that would be sexist and misogynist for some reason.
Charles Smith
artistic freedom
Matthew Price
we are wacky slanty eye recoiling at the thought of world building just because some western turds decide to push their shitty political opinions in their games
Jacob Mitchell
>sweeping generalization of western games
But it's not a sweeping generalization tho, literally every video game from western game devs that comes out has to copy the atmosphere and tone of The Dark Knight:
Grim burly man characters: Check Females who are intentionally made ugly: Check Overly dramatic characters who have emotions clearly painted on their face with Zero Subtlety: Check Story is like a Sopranos episode or a Shitty "Saving Private Ryan" war flick: Check
It's all mediocre B-Move action flick shit, and games that are winning GOTY are barely even games nowadays, they're 80% Movies, 20% Games.
If you would open your eyes, you would see this, but you intentionally close your eyes to the facts because you feel special inside your bubble.
If you even played NieR you'd realize that it's nothing like a typical Japanese game, but you're too brainwashed to believe otherwise.
Luis Powell
'games should be fun'
Ryder Ortiz
I feel like the big difference between something like this vs something like Mass Effect is that 2B being female isn't her only apparent character trait. I've noticed in a lot of recent western games they'll take some underused type of character (gay, lady, etc) and make the entire character about that one trait. I feel like it's just insulting and cynical.
Parker Bailey
It's mostly just RPGs
I'm having a great time with both Nier and Warhammer TW
Camden Myers
But the game is not shit, you're just an idiot who hasnt even played the game.
Witcher 3's Gameplay is complete SHIT, but you defend that game to your dying breath, because it caters to your western desires.
Just admit, you're a blinded westerboo.
Nathan Perry
name even 3 games that describe what the fuck you are talking about? risk of rain is more of a game than anything japan has shit out in a decade
Brody Perry
You're also stupid because there is plenty of Porno and Hentai to fap to. I play video games for the gameplay and adventure, if I wanna fap I can load up some Porno, you retard.
Your excuses are just pathetic really.
Jackson Butler
Western games are shit because Western studios actually sacrifice budget to hire fucking useless community managers and they also advertise far more than Japanese game studios.
Like Microsoft spent more money on Halo commercials than the actual Halo games for example.
So yeah, Western studios just like wasting a lot of money rather than only use money for the game.
Also, Western developers are much more attentionwhore than Japanese developers and get influenced by social media much more than Japanese devs.
Daniel Roberts
The only real reason I like japanese games more is because of the more precise, mechanical control schemes in action games. Western controls are more 'broad strokes' or 'fluid' where your performance won't be as consistent. That's why western developers have never made good fighting games. I think the only genre where the west compares to Japan is racing games, because car autism is universal.
Ethan Hernandez
For me I think they just make more well rounded games. Yakuza 0 is better than any western game I have played recently and it probably doesn't even have half the budget. West is on a larger scale of money making so they tend to latch on to the trends which is why you see ubisoft and other studios making the same game 5 times until it flops. There isn't as much room for creativity here as the big wigs just wanna maximize profits.
Henry Sanchez
Japs just like to game more than Westerners.
It is why the arcade scene didn't die in Japan but remains very active.
Kayden Jenkins
I agree with this but I'll stick with Japan, at least their's is appealing
Justin Rivera
He's right though. You get an achievement iirc for looking up 2B's skirt a few times or self destructing to remove it I beat the entire game already and just found out about it a few minutes ago, don't have the achievement
Literally no one in the threads talks about fanservice apart from people like you who try to bash it and obviously haven't played it. I'm beginning to think at least one of you is an actual marketer trying to ruin competition for whatever big game has come out recently
Kevin Price
[Spoiler]bladeknife?
Ethan Thomas
Aside from autism simulator games I really don't play Western games. I never have, they are too dark, too bloody, too Hollywood. Of course there are edgy Japanese games too, I don't play those either. When Western devs try to do fun colorful games they always feel like pic related to me.
Matthew Myers
To be fair, Automata is the first great game out of the entire series including all Drakengards.
William Gutierrez
I just made the decision recently to stop caring about western devs, fucking hacks all they want is grab your money and make fat ugly women with Green hair a thing
Asher Ortiz
Western games are interested in being movies and favouring graphics over everything else. I'd almost be ok with this if it weren't the case that the stories were shit and the graphics are uncreative.
Glad japanese games are coming back.
Luke Cooper
>eastern game industry >add pretty visuals, sweet character designs, amazing soundtracks, and put a fuckin heart put into the development (most of the time)
>western game industry WE GOTTA PUMP OUT MORE FIFA 2K MADDEN SPAWTS, EPIC MOVIE SCORE SOUNDTRACKS WITH SKYRIM GAMEPLAY
gee I wonder which one is more appealing
Nathaniel Rogers
>The attractiveness of the characters is more important than gameplay
Justin Lee
and western games sell much more people love them more checkmate weebs
Easton Butler
I never bought a FIFA or Madden game, but they are different kind of games. They are made for college dorms, not for your typical "I play the big hits" gamer.
William Lewis
Ive done the same thing. I'm pretty much done with western games, and I'm not even a person that watches Anime on a regular basis, I'm just fucking tired of the unpolished garbage that they spew out and the "grim-dark" shit for edgy teens, plus literally 80% of western games are shooters and its boring as fuck to play point and click games all the time.
It's funny too because NieR even had a lesbian insert thing in one of the dialogues (which is what SJW games shove in your fucking face all the time) but nobody cared because it wasn't even a big deal in game.
Easton Reed
Man I can't get over how long it took me to realize that western devs/publishers are everything wrong about the "industry" right now.
Aaron Campbell
It's so easy to make the same bullshit list with japanese games
Males who are intentionally made gay Seriously why are japs so gay? There is more gay stuff in japanese games than in SJW infested western games. Everyone intentionally made non-threatening You can spot the villain by who the edgiest character is, he also looks the faggiest and has the most spiked hair The villain is always the brother/uncle/substitute teacher/landlord of the protag Characters can be categorized into 9 types of personalities like tsundere, yandere, all characters follow this to a T. At the end of the game you fight against God, the religious dudes are the bad ones You can see every plot point a mile away because everyone verbalizes their emotions like autistic japs. Cutscenes are numerous and awful, most often not even real cutscenes, just a still picture of the person speaking and worded because weebs love playing it with the original japanese sound and subtitles Gameplay is often repetitive, game may be 100 hours long but the substance of the game is only 20 hours long Blatant fanservice, sometimes borderline pedophilic. More often than not fapbait should substitute for the horrible gameplay. The story is either horribly over-the-top grade A bullshit from someone high on LSD or brutally boring, often it's a combination of both.
Jeremiah Wright
>Aloy is hotter than 2B
If you're attracted to men
Jordan Torres
They sell more because they're marketed more, and the normies who got into gaming around 2007-2008 now make up the majority of the gamer population.
You realize the transformer movies made tons and tons of cash right? You realize that Twilight movies made tons of tons of cash right?
You really think those are good movies? LOL
Checkmate Westerboos
Justin Smith
Where have I defended Witcher 3 you retard? I even critizised it in an earlier post. Why is there so much fapbait in japanese games then?
Brayden Bennett
>Literally no one in the threads talks about fanservice
taking delusional to another level there, lad
William Thomas
This is correct. Western games target the Western mainstream. I believe this is why they got so popular starting with the PS3/360 generation. Before even normals played many Japanese games.
Jaxon Peterson
Western games have more onscreen sex than Japanese games.
Some even proudly advertise it like Mass Effect.
Levi Walker
>western tech makes games gorgeous, always pushing better physics/lighting/shadow/weather/etc >eastern tech makes games fun, always pushing creativity and entertainment >west frequently gets lazy or flat out forgets to add the game underneath the graphics >east literally can't be bothered to stop using the same outdoors textures they've been using for the last twenty years >because of intense butthurt and egotism alternatingly based on self-centered conceit and asian nationalism, these fucks won't just get together and make the perfect game >or at least get together and make the worst trainwreck of all time
Julian Smith
I agree user subtlety is key, pic related is an example of how not to do it, I mean this game is able to trigger me in ways I never knew anyone could
Jonathan Powell
The best games are made by multicultural teams.
Carson Kelly
Problem with Western games is that Western game devs wish they were Hollywood directors instead.
Camden Williams
>Why is there so much fapbait in japanese games then? So just because a character is sexy looking, I have to immediately pull down my pants and start jerking off?
How fucking stupid are you?
Also Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy (aside from a few characters) literally are not fapbait. You're obviously a hyperbolic retard who has no control of himself.
Daniel Foster
>I play videogames for the gameplay
No reason to play western games then
Asher Bell
>those movies are bad because they are popular they are good movies though
Andrew Nguyen
This. /thread
Western game devs have no respect for video games, they only respect movies because gaming isnt taken seriously in the west.
Dominic Wilson
I find that Japanese games tend to be more about gameplay and satisfying item/environment interactions, while western games just hurrrrr war n shiet, or middle earth soap operas.
Don't really give a shit about the waifu stuff though
Brandon Ward
FUCK THIS GUY
Nathan Clark
Sex scenes that you have to strive for to see are not the same thing as the game being pretty much softcore porn all throughout.
Brayden Bailey
Characters being sexy serve no other purpose than ronery weebs stroking their small dicks. Also you may have posted one of the few major developers not fully following this shitty trend: Nintendo.
Brody Hernandez
They're really not.
Tyler Morgan
Is that a vape thing? Beacuse if it is it might as well be ironic.
Liam Sullivan
Why do so many western games have sex scenes?
Lucas Watson
>Good looking characters must automatically be jerked off to
I like playing as characters who are well designed and don't make me go "ugh" whenever I look at them.
That's not too much to ask.
Sadly american game designers aren't talented enough to create characters like that.
