Do you think western developers will start taking influences from the Japanese to improve their games much in the way Japan has been adopting western attributes? Or do you think they will just double down further and further on the distinct aspects that make them inferior?

indie games tend to take much influence from japanese games though

Is Pyre any good?

Was there even a single good non-indie western game this year?

Pyre is good though. And two men kissin is fine. ME:A was just a buggy shitty pile of shit with cringe writing.

If only larger budgeted games could be more like them.

>East
>only from japanese

Whenever the west takes inspiration from Japan and isn't literally guided by the a japanese company, they fuck up the translation and end up being worse off for it.

I wish japs would make more games stylized like American games like Silent Hill 1 - 4. Modern jap games always devolve into anime shit.

They learned how to gacha perfectly.

Sonic Mania proves this wrong.

exception that proves the rule

>another cherrypicking episode
There are good and bad games in every region.

Except the western design process is literally rotten to the core. They are objectively worse by their very nature.

Damn. Gameplay is king above all else.

Both sides in this picture are trash

At this point it really isn't. There have been some mediocre western indie games this year, but nothing good has come out

Why mark it as "east" when it's just Japan?

>Pyre
>Generic indie
>Grotesque art style
Can't you at least TRY to come up with an argument that isn't objectively wrong?

>focuses solely on the game play
>ends up having the best stories
How is this even possible?

I like Bloodborne

By actually being respected as a medium, thus attracting the best talent.

>Do you think western developers will start taking influences from the Japanese to improve their games

Such as what? How to make ugly PS2 looking games? Having stiff clunky controls? Sexualizing little girls?

The japs saved video games you underage toddler

>twf no 50yo hollow-faced black waifu
why live?

>Shitting on Pyre
Disregarded

IMO, The New Colossus is the pinacle of "western game".
>single player only fps
>only unattractive female characters
>black women
>50% of the game is cutscenes or scripted sequences
>three different enemies
>same enemies in the first 10% of the game are in the last 10% of the game
>guns are: pistol, rifle, shotgun
>final boss is a pre rendered cutscene
>60 bucks
>beg consumers to buy the game before it's released
>politically shaming people into buying it

>Having stiff clunky controls?
That's what the west does. Japs are the only ones who can actually into play control.

I think what happened is that tumblr ruined a generation of artists. It's not that games are becoming more agenda driven/sjw (even though they are) but rather that the people who are helping make them are sjws.

It's hard to find a halfway decent artist these days who doesn't treat their politics/gender/sexuality/etc like a religion. Tumblr fucked this generation, Japan is only doing better because it wasn't infected with that nonsense.

ignore the shitty bait pic
pyre is super good

Wolfenstein II unless you are a Sup Forumstard

what does that image trying to prove

The only time I buy west games now is when It's Indie.

I might get Owl and Wonder Boy sometime since they are soon getting physical releases.

horizon zero dawn but it dont matter what anybody post some retard will call it sjw or a shit game like you always do

Lets be honest the MC could have been cuter.

It's like not wanting free sales.

since this pic is necessary in all of these discussions, here it is
"good" in this context means the game received positive feed back, it doesn't have to mean that you liked it or not

why does it matter if the game was made by the japanese or not if its a good game it dont matter

Except all the good games are from Japan now
Western games have always been shit

Ruiner is in there twice

Fuck off faggot

Because having all the good games being Japanese is bad because Japs can't sustain their own industry for much longer due to the move to smartphones and the fact that the Japanese embargo of the 6th gen that overtook the corporate marketing and journalistic side of the industry denies them the possible revenue needed to compete, just look at what happened to the JRPG genre.

...

I actually have been so tired of the west's video games that I have exclusively moved to playing Japanese titles only and I'm having a more enjoyable experience.

No, Western vidya wasn't always trash. Hell, during the fifth generation, they were arguably on par, if not better than Japanese devs. The fourth and sixth gens were pretty great for the West too. But something happened during the latter half of the seventh gen that sent the West into a downwards spiral, ostensibly kickstarted by Uncharted and Assassin's Creed. Now every major Western dev is basically Hollywood-lite, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

>Cherry pick the absolute extreme of each side
Just admit you are a weeaboo faggot who supported the bombing of Pearl Harbour

Kind of yes, and Japan honestly should have won the war. Look at the state of America right now. Japan is just better in everything at the moment including video games.

The irony is that everyone one in the industry was chasing behind Hollywood's shadow, and now the ideas being brought to the table have never been so limited, despite the access to the most powerful gaming development tools.
