Japan has long been known for shit tastes, why does this surprise you?
Evan Torres
I assume its because Japan absolutely has nothing like it, and PC shooters don't take off. So when one has teams so friends can play, and a different style than anything available, it takes off.
William Lopez
Because you can make girl characters with schoolgirl uniforms
Carter Reed
Aren't LoL and PUBG both owned by Asian companies?
Probably why
Nolan Brown
Maybe it has something to do with this.
Kayden Baker
>hey vee why do people like dis game huh!?!?!? >"BATTLE ROYALE THEME PUSHES PUBG TO #1 IN JAPAN" literally the 3rd sentence in the post
sometimes people on here confuse me.
Carter Foster
Japan has every shooter we've ever got, really. It's not like they don't have access to the same games we do, they just don't really like them much.
Wyatt Young
noone in japan plays on p except for westcucks. Its obvious those peolle will have a similar taste to the west.
Ian Morales
Japs have no taste
Jaxon Wood
Very few people use PC in japan as a gaming platform and most people who do only play these simple online games or VNs on them.
Just because this game dominates the nonexistent PC market in Japan that doesn't mean the game is popular there compared to other games.
Hunter Smith
good for them, at least they don't have to play nip garbage games
Colton Brown
>Why do japanese love PUGB so much? How many other shooters are 3rd person with multiplayer? Japs like most asians can't play FPS due to motion sickness
James Young
yall might not be aware of this, but modern young japanese culture is not much unlike ours. We have an almost identical spectrum of values (from far left internationalists, to the far right nationalists)
it's actually really cool meeting japanese socialists/communists. I guess that's one of the cool things about being a leftist: no matter what country you're from, if you're a leftist, you'll have an amazing time with your international comrades
anyway, im not surprised at all that PUBG is popular in japan
Easton Williams
You realise that the game is still very unpopular with the Japanese audiences right? PUBG is only the top PC game in Japan because people there in general don't use PC for other games than visual novels and f2p online games with low requirements.
Nicholas Brooks
It's almost like its a video game that is
>easy to pick up >played in bite sized chunks >played in social groups >fun
It's perfect for pcbangs and shit.
Blake Cruz
>motion sickness this meme needs to die it was literally one Japanese guy who said that FPS games make him sick and then he was referred fucking everywhere as "why Japanese don't like fps games"
Ayden James
>easy to pick up
Riiiiight. I refunded that shit because it was impossible to kill people, every time I got in a gun fight RNG was always in their favor.
Noah Garcia
because they only play pc for westaboo games and doujin vn's
probably also because the original battle royale movie was really big
Jordan Lewis
>I refunded that shit because i'm shit at the game. FIFY

Couldn't they just go outside for the real experiance?
Justin Gomez
nips love it and i hope they get more into PC in general. all nips on steam playing EDF 4.1 are great teammates -- but most people just are in the EDF youtube.com/watch?v=Qhh0igzqtqY
Jonathan Adams
seethe OP is fucking misleading
Jordan King
For example, take a look at store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ Japan has 1.9PB while Sweden, an incredibly depopulated country in comparison, has 2.4PB That works out to a sort of Steam GDP of 15MB vs 250MB.

Jason Rodriguez
You just want someone to post the webm again.
Jack Moore
they have to
Jaxon Smith
well, that's actually also true seePC market is pretty niché in Japan. It's literally around 10 times less popular per capita than in the west.
Brody Sullivan
Japan invented the battle royale concept these games stem from
Lucas Roberts
Fucking anime this season has a PUBG reference in its intro...
Benjamin Perez
I thought it was more to do with cultural differrnces, similar to how they see weapons as a symiotic part of the player avatar rathern than a self-contained tool like the west does.
Parker Sanchez
wait, which one?
Xavier Williams
Gamers!!
Easton Cox
pubg is NOT popular in Japan at all
Dragon Quest is popular Splatoon is popular Monster Strike is popular Puzzle and Dragons is popular Monster Hunter is popular Pokémon is popular
but not fucking pubg, you guys are taking this shit too far. pubg will never be on the level of popularity of the games listed above in japan
Christopher Myers
see
Camden Peterson
FUCK WEEBBROS
WE SAID THAT JAPAN WOULDN'T LIKE THIS WESTERN SHIT
WHY ARE WE WRONG AGAIN?
Colton Stewart
Goddammit I'm on your side I thought you were disputing that claim because you replied citation needed to the post that said PC gaming is dead in Japan
Grayson Rodriguez
What fuckin chinese cartoon is this?
Gavin Roberts
>currently the most played game in japan >not popular what did he mean by this
Ethan Baker
They don't though
Ryan Mitchell
there is a reason why they lost WW11
Parker Ortiz
Install Sup Forums X and hover of the "title" thing or open the webm in your favourite media player and look at the title.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S WEEBSHIT
Liam Allen
overwatch has one of the worst UIs that probably can actually give people motion sickness, but koreans are the best at it
Anthony Cook
sorry dude but they're already referencing it in anime....looks like we lost, fellow weeb lardaass :(
Caleb Mitchell
The anime in question
It's a cringeworthy shit show with a super beta lead that doesn't want to join a gaming club because he only plays for fun and is too nervous to actually play with other people.
Dylan Garcia
meant to quote
Dominic Gray
oh, i see. i should have guessed because i assumed either that one or new game. i should probably watch gamers
Oliver Wilson
>PUGB >player unknown grattle bound
Alexander Myers
>because he only plays for fun and is too nervous to actually play with other people. So it's really about the average Sup Forumsirgin
Wyatt Bailey
>currently the most played game in japan no it's not you retard it's the most popular PC game, which is a dead platform in Japan
Aiden Brown
It's actually significantly worse than that. He only really plays mobile games. Has like 3 girls ready for his dick but is too beta when they're literally throwing themselves at him and apparently the whole thing is sponsored by Arc System Works because they're in every fucking episode with Guilty Gear or Persona Ultimax
Lucas Myers
>most popular pc game >not popular huh??
Evan Powell
Japan is starting to like shooters.
Hudson Gutierrez
NORWAY AND ICELAND STRONK
Nathaniel Adams
Japs switching over to PC is pretty gud news because it might incite jap studios to do the same
Colton Wood
>He only really plays mobile games. Has like 3 girls ready for his dick but is too beta when they're literally throwing themselves at him
Nathaniel Richardson
they aren't
it's just korean/chinese students
Brody Russell
It's "misunderstandings" the anime
The show drops vidya pretty much altogether and it becomes a romcom by episode 3,with the occasional vidya reference sprinkled it
Right now however,beta MC proposed to be the boyfriend to the love interest and she says yes.The title of the episode even has "good end" in the episode like VN route
In the manga,Chiaki is a jealous cunt that breaks up MC and Tendou because she's an insufferable bitch that should've stuck to shitty mobile games
Dominic Roberts
keep bargaining with yourself, fatass
Camden Hughes
No. The protag actually plays and likes vidya.
Landon Mitchell
Dropped.
Oliver Powell
It's not even him being beta. It's a shitty trope of harem anime where the MC is clueless as shit which in recent years has been overdone to the point where he doesn't seem to have any interest in getting his dick wet at all.
Gabriel James
Is this an edit or do they actually play pubbyG?
Elijah Johnson
I can't believe this got an anime adaptation instead of High Score Girl. I gueess it wasn't sexy-moe enough.
Isaiah Ward
The Japanese and to a lesser extent the entire Asian population of the world have a weaker inner ear on average making high speed shooters disorienting to them. The fact that PUGB of all things would get the entire nation interested is amazing in itself.
Ryder Carter
"most popular PC game in Japan" is like saying "most popular Xbone exclusive" or "most popular Battleborn mode" >making high speed shooters disorienting to them That's exactly why they love PUBG then, it's pretty slow
Gabriel Jenkins
Probably because drop in drop out, and I'm guessing since it's a nobody dev/company, it's incredibly easy to get away with hacking on it.
Just two guesses.
Tyler Johnson
Koreans are masters at knowing what addicts the Japanese.
Parker Cruz
you should really read the thread
Luis Bell
High Score Girl was being adapted though and even entered production. It was just put on ice because of the law suits which made everything go to shit. So who knows what'll happen with it now.
Lucas Campbell
what's with koreans and idolmaster, though? they even have a shitty live version and the girls are ugly
William Smith
The anime also has xbox references in it. Doesn't mean it's popular in Japan but that the animes like to refer to every kind of niché stuff.
Elijah Cruz
Koreans are even more addicted to idolshit than Japs. They're not allowed to make porn so they stick to this instead.
Thomas Harris
PC gaymers in japan are westaboos that like call of duty and battlefield so they eat this shit up
Kayden Ward
Japan has had socialists and communists since WW2. Impotent anti-americanism does that to you.
Dominic Miller
nips will never have the PC audience the rest of the world does because nip publishers want to keep gaming on consoles and region lock all their steam games to not work in japan
Aaron Howard
The last Rainbow Six has always been decently popular over there so your theory is wrong. Not to mention BF and CoD.
Adam Johnson
You forget Sup Forums is underaged and has not seen this masterpiece, but they rather blame it on shit taste.
Hudson Sanchez
