Famitsu came out with a poll recently asking Japs what their favorite first and third person shooters are. Japs normally aren't very interested in shooters, so the answers may surprise you. What do you think of Japan's taste in shooters?
not really surprising since japan doesn't play pc games so they missed out on timeless classics like ut99/03, rtcw/et, bf42, and q3.
Christian Johnson
1 and 2 aren't surprising at all, actually.
Austin Davis
Siege sounds fun to play with Japs but pretty pleb list.
Brayden Barnes
>thought No.1 is Doom >instead its the last fucking thing in the list
now im fucking angry
Isaiah Lopez
>04. Goldeneye 007 (N64/Wii) - 62 pt
WHY THE MUSIC SUCKS IT PLAYS LIKE SHIT IT HASN'T AGED WELL AT ALL WHY WHY WHY
Brody Gutierrez
>Titanfall 2 They need to make more art.
Adam White
>Battlefield 4 so high nips have superior taste
Andrew Turner
Well, the whole sum of polls are only three hundreds, which is really small compared to other genres if you take a look at
Anyway, for Japanese, shooters as genre is really niche
Evan Martin
Most Japanese gamers never played Doom. They usually kill themselves when the great shame of being an adult gamer kicks in.
Henry Diaz
probably because it was baby's first for most of them
Camden Campbell
>Massive Action Game
I had completely forgotten that game existed. It was a mediocre shooter but at least they tried something new.
Joseph Lopez
>Goldeneye 007 (N64/Wii) No matter how consistently bad Japanese polls are, there is always a couple cool people that make it interesting.
Angel Davis
>MAG
I am amazed that that many people were able to even remember it.
Christopher Roberts
>Massive Action Game I never knew that MAG stood for something. It was probably the best attempt to make a console planetside they could
Xavier Gray
>09. Alliance of Valiant Arms (PC) - 41 pt Holy shit. It was amazing back when Ijji brought it to NA.
Levi Nguyen
Still pretty fun with friends, dude
Jason Taylor
Spatoon and Overwatch are popular with elementary school kids in Japan. Overall though Japanese don't like any games with PVP in them, specially FPS games.
Brandon Hughes
Pretty much this. PC "gaming" in Japan is mostly limited to Korean MMOs and VNs (hentai games).
Thomas Myers
A bunch of those games are PS4 exclusive in japan (as they should be worldwide), why is PC and Xbox mentioned?
Nicholas Bennett
A-Aren't they missing something?
Luis Cooper
Asians get motion sickness form First Person games, do they don't play them.
Colton Perez
>2 EDF games
Charles Bailey
I'd believe Siege is that high tbqh. I see those niggas on that shit all the time when it's late night or when they use VPN's to try and play with other countries. They're laggy assholes who just rush into everything and it always works somehow.
Jaxson Davis
Overwatch and Splatoon won because they have waifus Not surprising at all
Landon Ward
>Goldeneye 007 (N64/Wii) is the guy reposting the article stupid, or does famitsu know so little about shooters that they think the goldeneye on n64/wii are the same game
Luke Ortiz
>Doom and RE4 are lower on the list than arguably the worst Call Of Duty What the fuck japan
Carter Clark
>01. Overwatch (PS4/PC) - 96 pt.
Lol, of course its the casual waifushit.
Cameron Gray
Does anyone even buy the xbox console over there?
I still don't get why xbox isn't as big as in america over there.
Brody Rivera
>cs didn't make the cut
lol
Caleb Wood
iirc the xbox has historically sold pretty badly in japan
name recognition for sony/nintendo? i dunno
Ian Martinez
It was the Street Fighter 2: Tournament Edition of console FPS games.
Joshua Perry
>5. EDF This list is redeemed
Lucas Jones
wow it's amazingly shit
Henry Price
IIRC, there was only a single xbone sold in Japan one week; the sales were that bad.
Asher Phillips
>Overall though Japanese don't like any games with PVP in them shut the fuck up idiot
Colton Walker
Holy shit that really is awful
Mason Sanders
What an amazing story that never happened
Blake Sanchez
>04. Goldeneye 007 (N64/Wii) - 62 pt why
Matthew Foster
>MAG even appearing on the list fucking hell i knew japan had shit taste but god damn
Carson Baker
>MAG #6 >ahead of battlefield
woah no wonder why they buy dynasty warriors everywhere
Henry Garcia
Oh yeah? Well what sort of games do you like? List them, now.
Camden Sanchez
I looked up the actual sales. They were abysmal back in January (less than a thousand sold) but I haven't found an update since then.
Austin Young
>the music sucks opinion discarded
Hunter Smith
I'm just surprised there are shooters besides Overwatch and Splatoon that are popular in Japan to any extent.
Owen Jones
> Battlefield: Bad Company 2 not on the list.
Fucking plebs.
Jonathan Green
What is this list, no Duke Nukem? Bioshock? Halo 1 and 2? Why is call of duty so high?
Anyways contrarianism aside, damn near everyone has played a CoD game at some point. Guns and loot crates are hard to resist. As for Halo, Japan never got into Xbox.
Daniel Torres
Why would Duke be anywhere on there. The main reason it exists is to parody popular American media, retard
Luke Kelly
Wasn't the only reason people bought 360's in Japan because Idolm@ster was exclusive to it over there for a while? I remember hearing that at some point.
Juan White
The top 3 are all trash games.
Blake Sanders
>no reply
I thought so. All talk. Sad!
Jonathan Evans
Dust 514. It's where we all went after the shutdown.
Noah Ortiz
Nice work, user. You showed him who's boss
Aiden Reyes
Unsurprising.
Aaron Walker
Siege should be #1.
Ethan Garcia
Is hating on Goldeneye the newest meme? Or is it just that whenever people play it now, it's always at 3AM while hanging out drunk with their friends, and they play the godawful multiplayer instead of the campaign which is actually fun?
William King
only people who think goldeneye is so amazing are dumb console babies who didnt even know what a FPS was when it came out
Colton Morris
Siege is hot garbage and the only reason it's being liked on here now is because of all the newfag Redditors. Ubisoft's last good game was Rayman Legends, back in 2013.
Lucas Sullivan
Most of Sup Forums is underage and wasn't around for games before graphics, they'll shit on anything to get a leg up in their miserable existences. Then you get faggots like who think "they know better" because they played system shock once at an older cousins and think they're god's gift to the world because they're self entitled cockbags.
Nathaniel Torres
I'm older than dirt and had lots of experience with FPS prior to it coming out, but I still thoroughly enjoyed Goldeneye's single-player. Though I do think your argument holds water when applied to the split-screen power-point presentation deathmatch, which some people bizarrely seem to remember fondly. I assume they just hadn't played network multiplayer on a PC FPS yet.
Eli Kelly
System Shock is gods gift to the world and if you deny this you have no taste.
Luis Clark
Can nips even own guns?
Jack Hill
I fully expected Splatoon to be a top 3 game, kinda surprised Overwatch is #1 but not that much, Siege is legitimately out of left field though.
What the fuck is Massive Action Game?
Brody Ramirez
>MAG Holy shit nice taste Japan
Henry Evans
Surprised a lot of that is so high on the list tbqh... this. maybe it offends them. monsters and gore and skeletons are probably taboo there just like their bothers in china.
Jason Sullivan
i only remember one thing about MAG
i ran into a barn of enemy snipers and stabbed like 10 of them all clustered up because no one else was watching the stairs
cool idea for a massive team FPS for consoles just wasn't good enough to keep going
Easton Gutierrez
Only the civilians.
Thomas White
>EDF
Jace Williams
MAG. It was an awful PS3 exclusive whose only gimmick was having 256 players per match or something like that.
Ethan Taylor
all of these sales are also from the gaijin that moved there for work and stuff. If you see Halo and xbox sell a couple hundred or thousand copies, i promise, not one was japanese.
Justin Lopez
All opinions from japan henceforth are to be considered invalid
Nolan Taylor
Yes
Lincoln Sanders
>EDF on top 5
I'm content
Cameron Nguyen
>look up a video >indicators that an enemy can see you >its not single player drooooooooooooooopped no wonder nips like it
Lucas Murphy
>Japanese don't like any games with PVP in them
Kayden Sanders
Japan having shit taste as per usual.
Austin Martinez
its like fighting games don't exist in his mind or something
Andrew Garcia
Too bad console Battlefields are garbage.
Robert Stewart
CoD has a lot of fans in Japan, not too many Japs have played Doom.
Jayden Jones
>maybe it offends them. monsters and gore and skeletons are probably taboo there just like their bothers in china. No, not really. Plenty of gorey action games and spooky skeleton games in japan.
Christian Watson
>tried something new
No it didn't.
Nathan Ross
why do westerners always look at nip polls with like 200 votes and think it's worth anything? every time famitsu runs a poll with like 150 responses Americans think it's a legitimate representation of nipland
Parker White
You didn't even mention the awful graphics and color palette. The game was literally nothing but shades of brown when I played it in beta.
Isaac Wilson
>music sucks
How mentally challenged are you?
Oliver Nelson
>Duke Nukem Most pc games are pretty unknown there sans a few exceptions. >Bioshock? Halo 1 and 2? Those aren't too good and Halo's on xbox so that means it sold like shit there due to the unpopularity of those consoles.
Evan Garcia
The frame rate can be kinda obnoxious if you replay it nowadays on console but you can emulate it with improved frame rate.
David Reed
Pretty sure he wrote that about fags who only played the first System Shock once at a cousins house and think they know better
Austin Sullivan
Splatoon, lol
Matthew Harris
>japs have shit taste more news at 11
Jacob Hughes
The Japanese have shit taste whats new
Ethan Stewart
Well, I am surprised since such game as GalGun is better game than latest Doom for example. And I don't even joking.
Julian Green
>Titanfall 2 just barely in top ten You're alright sometimes, Japan.
Christian Morgan
(You)
James Rogers
>And I don't even joking. I don't english too.
Noah Ross
Will the Japs ever make their own high budget FPS? Other than Splatoon.
