Why are the games from here so damn good? Is it because Japanese are smart as fuck?

Why are the games from here so damn good? Is it because Japanese are smart as fuck?

because jap games are games and western games are propaganda

They make the gameplay first, then mold everything else around that.

They are not you filthy weeb. Autistic repetitive cutscene crap.

They make a lot of bad games too, you just never see them since they don't leave Japan.

They've been in the business a lot longer than a lot of western companies.
Also, they know their fanbase *very* well.

No, nips are dumb as fuck with shit tastes. I literally don't understand why their games are so good, it doesn't make sense and honestly it feels like it won't last much longer.

...

Japanese games are just copies of each other. They haven't created anything new for a decade.
The only actually good games are either indie pc games, western games made before 2005 or the occasional slavic magic game.

kys

this; but a part of it comes from the Japanese game industry's slavish (almost to a fault) devotion to the history of games and game design. It's why used game stores are filled with impeccably preserved copies of decades-old games, or why games like Bayonetta have Galaga throwbacks in them. It's not about retro appeal; for Japanese game devs, there's a design geneology that every new game iterates on. It's why popular Japanese game franchises remain virtually unchanged for years and years (DQ is a perfect example). All changes are iterative and beholden to what came before.

By comparison, the west is fascinated with REBOLUSHUN in every step, trying to redefine the entire medium with the next hot fad, be it VR, cinematic storytelling, minimalist gameplay, or putting the meta (e-sports, streamability, marketing efforts) before the actual game experience. both styles have their merits. Japanese games tend to be more consistent in quality from game to game, where Western games shoot for highs and either reach them or fall pathetically short. just my 2ยข

>gameplay first

how so?
Tales of berseria or yakuza 0 feel like a ps2 game

Thanks for explaining Ken-sama

Because they know the basics of what a game actually is and the basics of how to make one.

Have you seen the video of Africans trying to make a helicopter? That's basically what Western devs trying to make a video game look like.

>build highly delicate and dangerous nuclear power plants near areas susceptible to floods and earthquakes
>population on a sharp decline
>invest the culture heavily into things like anime and hentai
>copy everything about western media from movies to games, make it worse, then profit off the weebs and nips
>intelligent
Ok user, sure.

>it feels like it won't last much longer.
LOL you're fucking stupid. You have no idea just how many great games are or have been released there, that never come out here in the West.

OP here, I really do fucking love Japanese games. I really want to pay my respects to these people. They're so fucking smart and cute and cool, they making living on this rotten, wretched world almost pleasant sometimes.

Because they only make single player games which is the only thing faggots like you can play.

It's because Japan doesn't have niggers and muslims

OP here I posted the wrong picture haha

I also remember reading somewhere that Japanese are more right-minded than left

I'm a western dev currently working with a certain nip company for the first time on prototypes for a possible future game. They have a different approach to game design than most westerners from what I've seen.
A very bottom-up approach is how I'd describe it, they'll focus down on the key foundation mechanics until they're 100% perfect and then build the game around that afterwards.
As opposed to many westerners who have an idea of what their game is before going in and build the mechanics around that initial concept.

>Is it because the Japanese are smart as fuck?
Retarded weeb, Sony exists.

Just like an autist, they excell a lot in some areas while being completely helpless on others (story)

HOW DO WE STOP THEM?!

...

Now post a bigger picture and see how terrible these games look

>idea of what their game is before going in and build the mechanics
If you're doing this, you don't have an idea for a game at all.
No mechanics = no game.
Don't want to be obnoxious, but that's how I see it. Of course, I still respect what you said since you're in the industry currently, but you're just wrong there.

Japanese gameplay isn't that much better than western games. It's just that if western games were anime they'd be good too.

>Japan
>cutscene crap
?????
As opposed to Western games not being cutscene crap? Lol

>being completely helpless on others (story)
LOL as if that's a bad thing. Japs have come up with the craziest and most entertaining fucking stories because they don't confine themselves to storytelling norms like the west does.

FUCK!
WHY'D I HAVE TO BE BORN CANADIAN?!
WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN BORN A JAPANESE OTAKU NEET WHO GETS TO PLAY EVERY (EVERY) JAPANESE GAME?!
EVEN JAPANESE GAMES PEOPLE CLAIM ARE GENUINELY BAD STILL FEEL GOOD TO ME BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE JAPANESE PASSION THAT WENT INTO CREATING IT
ALL WESTASHIT IS SOULESS, THAT FEELING IS NOT THERE
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAAAAAIRR!!!

This doesn't make sense, are you trying to say it's impossible to have an idea of the game then make the mechanics fit snuggly into the idea?

What I meant by that is that, going into a project westerners often have a set vision for what the game is and what the key mechanics are and adapt and pivot around that, while japs often seem to spread a wider net and then focus on the best things they catch.

It's okay man. Come, let's learn Japanese together.

>played through prey
>like 2 or 3 cutscenes pretty much just a really short intro and ending
>played through persona 5
>only about 30% of the game is gameplay

>tfw kim is going to blow up anime land
>he's going to blow up the one place on earth that gives me happiness

oh shit.. i thought his threats were empty... what the fuck will I do if Japan gets nuked?

Even if you are not telling the truth I love info like this, tell me more

You've been brainwashed by anime

Sonic the Hedgehog

Japanese aren't allowed to show their feelings and passion and are forced to keep all that shit bottled up.
Only place they can put that into is into their work.

what about it?

He's not going to nuke Japan, he'd get fallout blowing back onto his own country. He'll go for southern air bases. If he does hit Japan it'd be Okinawa at worst.

No. It's time to go to bed so I can wake up early and be a good wagie.

Cherry pickingTM
You know the majority of AAA Western games are a fiesta of cutscenes. Come on, now.

>The only actually good games are either indie pc games
99% of indie games are garbage

>feels it won't last longer
>some of the most vibrant PS2 era games that are still rocking the boat in the year of our lord 2017 are 99% Japanese
Stay bootyblasted burgerino.

Are Japanese games really that good or are Western games so trash that they just look that good from comparison? I mean, what was the last good western game? I don't mean opinion, I mean universally accepted as a good game. Witcher 3? What about before that? Fucking Skyrim?

also no whites
don't count those out because you're one, snownigger.

They're anti-immigration regardless of where you're from. They don't care if you're Tyrone or John Smith

PLEASE FUCKING SPARE ME

Name a single JRPG that is qualitatively better than Life is Strange.
Name a single Japanese action game that is qualitatively better than the Last of Us.
Name a single Japanese fighting game that is qualitatively better than Injustice 2.
Name a single Japanese shooter that is qualitatively better than Overwatch.

The answer? You can't. And if you cry bait, that only shows how right I am.

kaizen

Uh... I liked some sports games I guess....

>action game
>the last of us
what did he mean by this
the first super mario bros is a better action game than the last of us, and it was released before you were born
please apply yourself

I won't cry bait, I'll cry that you're a tasteless redditard.

The only game you listed that's decent is Last of Us.
>He thinks Overwatch is good
ha!

Because they're not cucked by sjw yet.

>Why are the games from here so damn good? Is it because Japanese are smart as fuck?

they don't let themselves get consumed by political shit and SJW garbage

>he thinks The Last of Us is good

Heh... I got some news for you.

And that's bad because?

>Name a single Japanese action game that is qualitatively better than the Last of Us.
I'm not a rabid Souls fanboy but that series as well as Bloodborne is infinitely better in terms of action gameplay as well as story because the player gets to seek out and piece the story together themselves instead of watching a movie.

what the fuck
I'll brush it off as bait

Those games are just spam slashers with fake plotlines. The Last of Us has actual heart.

Not good, decent.

Sorry but these are regular turds in japan and they think they can charge us 60 bucks for ps1 tier games

Japanese are more right wing than anyone. It's not a secret, they were an empire.

at least this provides fap material. the worst western games are just dull and uninspired

I'm not talking about politics you fuck. Look at pic related

>fap material

Oh please, there are better doujins available for free online why the fuck would you waste money and time on this garbage? stop grasping at straws here.

This is your answer why. In fact this post here is pretty much that, but with screenshots instead.

>it'd be Okinawa at worst.
Good, nuke us. 7th fleet was a mistake

games like that are made because there are niches that enjoy them and pay for them, and it's revenue for smaller companies
expecting games to be "inspired" is kind of a category failure
there can be drastic innovation, but most creation is about refinement around core ideas that sell
even as they change with fads, no one complains that trousers don't reach the level of adding superfluous legs or trains

Because they actually grew up playing games. They actually like playing games. They actually play games.

Just let them commit suicide and and not have kids or social interaction. That will do

>A bunch of dull zombie cliches
>heart

Joel was an interesting character but the rest of the game was just so fucking boring and predictable. Soulsborne games have their flaws of course but at least they don't shove a dumb movie in your face and pretend that it's high art. Hell you would have to be a fucking moron to give a shit about the story in Souls or Bloodborne and they're still better than most western games out these days.

>Shitty "The Road" ripoff
>b-but with zombies
>b-b-but they're not really zombies

>99% of indie games are garbage
Yes, but you don't have to play every single indie game, only the remaining 1% which is better than what mainstream studios vomit out.

TWD was better

They fucking sucks at making games tho

Japan doesn't have the same stigma of video games that the America (and Europe to a lesser extent) has. Over there the medium has been respected as an art form equal to others to be enjoyed by everyone without shame since day one. While in the US, video games have traditionally been seen as "boy's toys" up intil very, very recently, and the industry responds to this by trying to mold the medium into more "respectble" ones like film. The fact that "gameyness" can even be considered a pejorative in our culture should tell you all you need to know.
It's the same thing with the whole "nerd" stereotype, which holds much, much stronger negative connotation on the US than the rest of the civilized world.

>Japanese games
>PC

Serves you UMA DELICIA fucks right, quality Japanese games are ONLY for quality Japanese CONSOLES, like the PlayStation. But keep deluding yourselves into thinking you're a relevant platform.

Nice job cherry picking some random shovel ware from fucking Steam, a place that's notorious for that shit. Even then it still looks decent.

>pc nigger

Their culture isn't tainted by Abrahamic mindrot.

HAHAHA this is a damn good joke post

>tfw infintesmally greater sales means the Japs are already taking more and more after western "design" principles with their core sonking o to a bottomless mobile well while the west will NEVER EVER take inspiration from superior Nip gamecraft
