I don't play western games because they are fucking garbage.

I judge every game based on its individual merits and flaws. How insufferable the community is does impact whether or not I'm interested in it, because if those people are the ones I will be talking about the game with (if I feel the urge) then I won't enjoy that aspect of actually owning and playing the game.

It's the same with a lot of forms of entertainment. There are some movies I love to watch alone, but other movies that are better with company. Talking about the movie after the movie is over, whether it was good or bad, is a legitimate reason to bother going to a theater or not.

So if you know the people you'll be talking about the game with are fucking retards then the game is naturally less appealing because in order to avoid those retards you'll be sacrificing those moments where you can talk about the game with people. Sometimes that is enough to impact a financial decision.

Same

Depends on the developer and their previous games.
I won't ever touch something made by a current EA or Activision dev because they're the most cancerous companies in existence.

It's not exactly starting off in my good graces if it's AAA these days but I'll still at least see/hear a game's case for a minute or two before completely writing it off.

If a game has to tell you that it's good, then it's not. Aside from that, I'm poor as fuck so I only play free games anyway.

if its AAA or popular then you usually have to deal with:

>bloated price tag
>microtransactions and dlc
>pre-order bonuses
>frothing casuals

i usually leave those games alone, until 5+ years later when its dirt cheap on sale

I play games I like. It just happens that AAA and western shit generally don't appeal to me. And the few I did like went down the shitter.

What if i refuse to play a game because of it's fan base like i did with undertale?

Fine reasoning for online games, pants on head retarded for single player games. You don't have to interact with a fanbase for single player games at all.

This.

I play games like that at the start of their popularity specifically because of this. If I didn't play Undertale within the first couple of months, I probably never would've.

I want to let kanbarus sweaty pantsu marinate in my mouth

Honestly if its western, it's an auto-pass for me. I dont care to experience a 5 hour long political soapbox combined with a casino simulator.

...

So you never play games.

I play games all of the time. I don't play trash with trash people.

Why is Ann so perfect?

I don't even play videogames.

If it's western, you'd have to kill me before I'd ever play it. They're literally all the same, and they'll never match up to Japanese games. The Japanese are the true saviors of the gaming industry, and they should be worshiped as such. Oh, how I wish I were Japanese.

And I also refuse to watch any anime that even has an English dub, just the thought of something so sacred being bastardized by western scum makes me want to retch in disgust.

Same

WHAT A WAY TO SPELL MAKOTO

WOW

>aaa
>open world
these things don't mix. it's like they miss the entire point. aside from rockstar but i havn't even enjoyed a gta since sa

This without even a sliver of irony

Unironically this.

>And I also refuse to watch any anime that even has an English dub
do you get retroactively disgusted when a dub is made for one you've already watched?

I would have to say about 70-80% of indie games are uninspired pieces of early access shit. I play what I think looks good, doesn't matter if its triple AAA or not because the same can be said about AAA games.

gamejolt.com/games/sah/320323

Everyone thinks I'm like this, when really I'm just so disinterested in most AAA things that I legitimately forget they exist or don't notice a new game.

Nah, I'll play any game that I find entertaining. It could be indie, popular or niche as fuck, I don't care as long as I'm having fun with it.

I've been trying to find an answer to this for almost a year now.

>If it's western, you'd have to kill me before I'd ever play it. They're literally all the same, and they'll never match up to Japanese games. The Japanese are the true saviors of the gaming industry, and they should be worshiped as such. Oh, how I wish I were Japanese.

Mass market trash made to appeal to brainlets is awful in every medium

I don't play most AAA games because they usually look like shit games

This guy gets it.

If it's Japanese, you'd have to kill me before I'd ever play it. They're literally all the same, and they'll never match up to western games. Westerners are the true saviors of the gaming industry, and they should be worshiped as such. Oh, how I wish I were caucasian.

And I also refuse to watch any cartoon distributed in Japan, just the thought of something so sacred being bastardized by gook scum makes me want to retch in disgust.

fuck outta here

...

I am and I don't regret it. And this place used to be for pedos, creeps, weirdos, social outcasts, hackers and other assorted scum. Is Sup Forums honestly different from modern Reddit?

I do hate it when think i love start getting mainstream appeal but im not gonna stop playing a series I love because of it but man is it so fucking annoying to see so many normalfags plebs and ironic weebs all over persona now.

I won't play a game if it's shit. That just happens to mean that I don't play any big budget Western AAA games

No, your just cringy weeabos. Same sort of fags that would say anime actually has good writing.

Anime can have good writing

It can, it just almost never does.

If there was a ranking for Persona 5 girls,Makoto would come third in it

If it's shit I won't play it. It's not like I avoid AAA games. It's just that there's a lot of overlap.

>western games
>good

FPBP

100% this

As stale as the other pasta

T.davido kun

You can't even spell Weeaboo right you fucking retard

So like western video games then, at least jap games are fun

It isn't that I won't play it but I will wait for GOTY edition with all the DLC .....
to go on sale for 20 bucks

>it matters
>(you)

no, in general western games do actually have better writing. I love japan as much as the next fag on here. But the country is really damn bad at writing.

I play ony games made in the US of A, thank you very much.

>he doesn't love other nationalities showing a huge interesting in where you're from

"If it's not Japanese I pirate"

interest* sorry

No, I just find it pathetic in the same way my own people fawn over Americans, how they want to go to America to get good jobs, or how Americans will save us from China.

People these days need some national pride for fuck's sake.

>If it's AAA
yes, guaranteed to be overpriced casual garbage with dlc and lootboxes
>or popular
dont care

Then you're stupid for letting other people ruin something for you.

i agree with having national pride and i'm not talking about the fags who just want to goto that place for a job

Thats not my reasoning. It just happens to be that I am not the target audience of the hyper popular games. DOOM and XCOM 2 were the only recent AAA games I've been interested to.

to a degree this But there are exceptions if it absolutely outrageously cancerous. The kingdom hearts fanbase comes to mind

Or Dark Souls.Jesus christ it's impossible to talk about this series anymore because there will always be one faggot who goes BUT DARK SOULS 2 WASNT SO BAD GUYS

the worst part about the dark souls fanbase for you is someone saying dark souls 2 wasn't so bad?

but it wasn't tho

Yes, because at that point, every semblance of discussion gets side railed by people arguing which Dark Souls was the best.

Tumblrtale is shit,you didn't miss anything

It's a pretty fucked up thing to say to be fair

I tend to avoid Western games altogether because they are either bland, full of microtransactions or made by companies that employ vocal cultural marxists. The games that have none of these are mostly genres that I feel indifferent about at best, which is a pity.

I stop playing western games I can't take the political correct shit anymore. After I took the redpill I see it everywhere.

personally i can't stand any form of memery in my video game discussion but i can see your point on why you'd hate that

Farcry 5 makes me cringe so fucking hard.

Over 9000 hours in paint

surprisingly correct

move western in the middle and japanese on the outside.

Its actually
>If it's AAA I won't pay for it

But who made the rest of the shit games on this diagram

Fpbp

The rest of the world of course. China and Korea is like swimming with garbage shovelware.

Do the opposite of

misc indie devs

this but unironically

stay mad westcucks

It's a "grass is greener" sort of thing for most people it seems. I went to Japan with an ultra-weeb, and some moderate anime fans while I myself have only watched a few anime series.

I definitely enjoyed my experience there, most of the shit we did was non-anime related, except for the one day we visited Akihibara. There were some things I thought they do better than America (generalizing), such as how little trash they produce, how polite and helpful everyone seemed to be, and how I only saw one obese local the entire time I was there.

There were some things they did worse, everyone seemed to be extremely stressed during the work week, places were mostly empty after work hours because the locals were too exhausted after their day of hard labor. Obviously the high suicide rate is related to this.

The ultra-weeb was very disappointed. He had a weird vision for what he thought Japan would be like. Most people were disgusted by him, as he likely weighs around 450 pounds (he had to buy 2 plane tickets). The locals aren't really interested in anime, outside of the kids and teens, and they consider any adults who take an extreme interest in it shut-ins, creeps, and weirdos, and this is what they viewed him as. 3 days through the trip his appendix ruptured, and he had to be sent to a hospital, and then sent home. Japan doesn't accommodate for fat people, and he wasn't used to have to walk so much.

The moderate anime-fans had a good time, they didn't want the entire trip to be about anime related shit, and they enjoyed Japan for what it was.

The point is, Japan isn't some anime-wonderland. It's like any other country, you enjoy the food and culture, and it has its flaws and advantages. For some strange reason people have an obsession with what they think is Japanese culture (Japanese animation and games), but the people there don't care for that stuff. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment if you think that these things represent Japan.

Thanks for reminding me that every single game released by Japan is an Aryan waifu simulator with absolutely no cashgrabs

FPBP, when the gaming industry went to shit in the first half of the 7th gen, the western front never recovered unlike japan

...

b-but Phil F-Fish told me that Japanese games sucked!

Spoken like a true follower
What a cuckold lmao

What did ATLUS mean by this?

this

The closest thing to a western game that I loved was Donkey Kong Country 1-3 and Metroid Prime, but Nintendo bankrolled and published those, so maybe that's a loophole.

nintendo of japan was heavily involved with prime but not DKC 1-3

>act like a beta
>get treated like a beta
Reality.

I just play games that catch my interest after going through my cheap ass filter

Sauce?
Is there nudity?
Is she touching her benis

I claim to hate artsy garbage and movie games but thoroughly enjoy all of Team Ico's games, Playdead's games, and thatgamecompany's games.

I play some popular and/or AAA but they're usually platform exclusives. I never buy EA, Ubishit, or Activision games and mostly buy Japanese games on Nintendo and Sony platforms.

Western games just try to be technical and visual spectacles that are basically movies, if you want that stuff there are really only a few studios that even do it well so most AAA garbage can be completely skipped. Why play an open world Ubishit game when Rockstar does it better?
