Funny how visual novels and JRPGs get amazing reception when it's Westerners making them.
>>725939261Almost like japs cant fucking make good games.Must be a conspiracy tho, there is no way that subhuman nonwhites cant make good games...
>>725939261Probably because their stories are just as retarded as the westerner subhumans
Normalfags hate Japs, especially urpoors who mindlessly defend anything made in europe (just like chinamen do for their games)
>>725939261>plays FOTM slop that makes unconventional genre palatable for normal fags>pretends you know the genre despite you never dabbled in it, props up the FOTM game as the best, and disregards everything that preceded itWhy does this always happen? The same shit happened with DDLC
>>725939261meybe cuz actualy gameplay is sumtin other then they shitty grid turn based combat nomsayin
>>725939725This so much.
>>725939261>Story games written by Western story tellers appeals to western culture.Fascinating.Did you also know that Russian books do very well in Russia?
Americans see an anime character in a bathing suit and call the police.
>>725940312No fucking way
>>725939261yeah, its really nice when people actually express themselves instead of awkwardly tittering and avoiding any direct confrontation to serve their own interests. its like japs go "how do we avoid romance as much as possible, and make every scene together as absolutely cringe and devoid of charm as possible? how do we make these characters like each other, but display zero chemistry or redeeming characteristics worth taking an interest in?" on top of shipping pairs with no chemistry, and accidentally making chemistry between characters that arent shipped. like, because they relegated a character to "not the love interest", they accidentally let them be human and have normal, human interactions with the main character, which accidentally displays more chemistry and reason to pair up than anything they set up for the main character.
>>725939725No idea what DDLC stands for but I noticed this with Sea of Stars. The game's complete dog shit and won indie game of the year. Just makes you go wtf
>>725939261Fuck Japan, the whole island should have been nuked.
>>725939261Almost as if you're not dating 14 year olds and have actual adult relationships in the foreground. We're like a Persona release away from people turning on Atlus
>>725939261Japs are the most soulless of all bugmen so no surprise there
Dispatch is extremely reddit
>>725939261>Funny how games made by actual ensouled white people instead of literal cogs in a corpo dystopia get amazing reception.
>>725939261Maybe it's because their actual good stories instead of blatant incel pedobait?
>>725939261Japanese games were never good
>>725939261E33 is fucking dogshit and I'm tired of pretending that it's not.It's Mario and Luigi with a pretentious plot that pulls a 'BUT IT WAS ALL A DREAM' a.k.a. the plot device they use as an example of BAD WRITING IN FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL
Japs lost
Why does /v/ suddenly hate Japan?
>>725939261Japanese are so demoralised by the capitalist shithole they live in that it's a wonder they can make games at all
>>725939261Production values carried Dispatch hard, that's what sets it apart from other visual novels. Aaron Paul really does an fantastic job with the voice acting too.
>>725939261Westerners make games for human beingsJapan makes games for pedophiles
>>725939261japan was conquered by the jews after 2007 while the west is finally turning on the jews
>>725943118this
>>725943023I don't think it has better production values than Mahoyo, but it's infinitely more accessible for everyone which is why it blew up
>>725939261>Make good game with good story and charactersApparently this is too hard for bug men.
>>725942846Because Japan hates themselves.
>>725939261Because Japanese are in an eternal state of arrested development. They're an entire society of "peaked in high school". That's why all of their stories are adolescent and shallow. They have no adult experience besides "drink and work", so they make games that pander to children and teenage loser otaku just like they used to be.
Are we pretending that the majority of western "visual novels" are not just poorly designed adventure games like Life is Strange now?
>>725939261China and Korea eclipsed Japan so who even cares anymore?
>>725939261Dispatch fell apart for me in the last week. The last few episodes felt rushed as hell, poorly written, and the "plot twists" were extremely forced and corny.
>>725943401TRVTHNVKE
>>725939261Japan sucks
I switched from a weeaboo to a koreaboo about two years ago, feels good
>>725943401accurate
>>725939261japs can’t write good characters, stories or believable dialogue if their lives depended on it, it’s always some really stupid convoluted shit that doesn’t make sense and relies on occult symbolism like Xenoblade, xenogears or ff10, also doesn’t help that the characters in Japanese games look retarded and the women have giant tits and slutty outfits for no reason when it doesn’t even fit the the tone of the game >inb4 LE WEST IS LE WOKE NO ROMANCE OR ATTRACTIVE WOMENDispatch and Expedition 33 both have sex scenes and romance unlike most jrpgs where the waifu goes “i love senpai”
Almost like the average westoid normalfag doesn't even like videogames and just wants to feel like he's watching a movie while holding a controller.>>725944114Dispatch has annoying whores and dykesE33 has fully clothes bitches with huge jaws.
>>725939261It's weird, at first Dispatch felt like it was Visiepop coded with all the fuck words being thrown around, but after seeing some more there are some actual humorous scenes and the MC isn't a complete doofus.
>>725944114>relies on occult symbolism>FFXit's so funny seeing these jp seethe circlejerks being filled with sub 80 iq brownoids every time, there is literally more esoteric symbolism in E33's name than the entirety of FFX's narrative
>>725943118>after 2007lmao
>>725939261I was going to type up some big long effortpost but these >>725943401 >>725944114 said pretty much everything I was going to but better.
>>725939261As a huge VN and JRPG enjoyer: this should be obvious, why are you saying it like some big revelations? It's all about cultural sensibilities. People are not opposed to those formats (even if they may say so as an excuse to not appear xenophobic/racist), they just vibe more with something that feels culturally "theirs".
>>725939261Japs are retarded, news at 11:00
>>725944856Xenoblade 1,2,3, xenogears have way more cutscenes, dialogue, text than your average wrpg weeb troon
>>725945890and their all utter tripe
>JAPAN LOST JAPAN LOST>reality: picrel>inb4 but Metaphor is le bad because...I don't give a fuck about what you think, don't waste your time.
>japanese deep story be like>here’s some random alchemical symbols and Kabbalah quotes now the story is very deep
What's even the point of Japan when Europe, China, Korea, and even apparently now America can do everything Japan does but better?
>>725944892you’re very retarded if you think e33 has more random symbolism than xenogears, Xenoblade and ff10
>>725942253It's not a single island, retard.
>>725946093Who fucking cares?
>>725942515>blatant incel pedobaitThat's in E33 too though.
>>725945981Metaphor is irrelevant, it sold 2M copies riding on the coattails of the biggest jrpg publisher, made the most shilled jrpg game dev team and it still lost to some new studio, cope more
>>725939261>sexual degeneracy woke cape bullshit for double digit iq mongoloids. streamers payed to play, the game is already fucking dead.>turn based pretentious baguette faggotry art, that isn't even a good story with gameplay being: press to dodge. good boy.No, they don't get the praise from westerners.
China needs to annex Japan ASAP
Ironic weebs should be hanged in public.
>>725939261I played and loved Dispatch, E33, and Silksong and my GOTY is still a remake of a 2015 JRPG.Also, Dispatch isn't a visual novel and E33 isn't a JRPG.
>>725943401Video games never stopped being viewed as a childish medium in japan, same with manga and anime. The only difference between western and japanese manchild media is basically that japan is honest about it being manchild media, they never tried to "elevate it" beyond what it actually is, they know their audience. They even created their own little sub culture for "light novels" where its basically saying "This is manga without the pictures its not boring booky books"
>>725946093>>725942253Nuke one of the uninhabited islands to make this anon feel like a fool.
>>725946143I care about knowing basic things about the stuff I reference.
>>725939261Its cause they have production value+entertaining writing. I can't call the story well-told or GOOD but its absolutely entertaining. If Japanese VNs had the production value of Dispatch people would care alot more, but even then the problem is they aren't fucking entertaining. Class of 09 got super popular because it was just entertaining.
>jrpg>westernLearn what words mean, retard
>>725941478>Sea of ShartsThe number of retards who tried to compare this slop to Chrono Trigger like they were making some kind of Statement, when the resemblance is the most superficial shit imaginable drove me insane
>>725943401Japan has been living in the 1990s since the 1970s. And that's why Japan is so much better than everywhere else on Earth right now. Everything went to shit after 2008
Weebs malding.
>>725944114>japs can’t write good characters, stories or believable dialogue if their lives depended on it, it’s always some really stupid convoluted shit that doesn’t make senseThat's partly because Japanese is a language that lives off of implication and also partly because you're a brainlet.
E33 fanbase is the most pretentious fanbase I've ever seen in any medium including literature.
>>725946691>And that's why Japan is so much better than everywhere else on Earth right nowChina says ni hao
Western games had their first good year in a decade and a half and people are acting like Japan isn't better at making games again.
>>725939261>FMV game>visual novelstop pretending you're japanese, worthless nigger
>>725947016name at least one really good, preferably offline single player, non-woke game, non-lgbt, not pretentious art, videoGAME with good/great gameplay released in 2025. Bonus for no niggers anywhere in the game.
>>725946682it's just as bad as chrono trigger. it's an obvious comparison to make.
>>725947006China is a Cyberpunk Dystopia except without the cool augments and life-prolonging mechanical implants.
>>725947006China (in he big cities) in not the horrendous shithole it used to be even 25 years ago, but it's delusional to pretend people have it better than in Japan.
>>725947123your splitting hairs
>>725947276>China is a Cyberpunk DystopiaJapan is worse
>>725945890I'm not saying they're bad, I'm just saying this western stuff is pretty alright.
>>725947214Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive EditionHollow Knight: SilksongClair Obscur: Expedition 33DK BananzaSilksong fits all of your parameters to a T, what with there being no online component and no nogs.
>>725947224Go rape yourself half to death and then I'll be around to finish the job
>china shilling goes up>japan hate goes uphmm
>>725947405There's nothing dystopic about Japan. Not even Tokyo. The birthrate is low and you can't own guns, but other than that they're alright.Keep in mind that Japan has the 2nd highest birthrate in East Asia behind only Mongolia, so Japan's low birthrate is actually significantly higher than China's.
>>725947739no one hates japan thoughonly worthless niggers that pretend they're nips
>>725946392>Dispatch isn't a visual novel and E33 isn't a JRPG.What are they then?
>>725947753Japs are literal cogs in a corporate machine, at least Chinks have worker protections.
>>725947305It's still horrendous. Anarcho-tyranny is everywhere. They still do the gutter oil shit, low-class people still get killed in hospitals for their organs, they still prefer to kill you if they hit you with their car because the punishment is lower, they still scam everyone they can, they still have an insanely low-trust culture (even worse than infamous shitholes like London and NYC), and there are still very dangerous bits of infrastructure where the construction workers skimped on quality control to save a few RMB.t. traveled to Shanghai in MarchI would still prefer to go back to China after insulting the grorious CCP than ever go back to India or Pakistan, though.
>>725947614>Hollow Knight: Silksongmight indeed be the only one mediocre game released in 2025. the rest are trash gameplay or no gameplay at all. Hollow Knight is a platformer however, a genre we've been playing for the past 50 years and there is no innovation in this title. so meh. mediocrity.2025 sucks for gamers, becauset there is no amazing gameplay.
>>725947930Dispatch has its own unique style of gameplay (the whole dispatching thing) and is otherwise a movie game just like Telltale's other games. E33 is a turnbased RPG.
>>725947614>DK BananzaHe said no niggers
>>725948116t.
>>725939261because they have mature stories aimed at mature gamers just like me....
>>725943209What kind of stupid response is this? We're talking about production values here not the quality of the end product. Mahoyo is a literal visual novel telling it's story solely through text and static images while Disptch is a fully animated 3D production with a small gameplay sectionMahoyo might have better writing, but the production values in Dispatch blow it away. Show me action scenes like Dispatch has in any visual novel and then we'll talk
>>725948169>Dispatch has its own unique style of gameplay (the whole dispatching thing)It's just a capeshit management game.
>>725939261I love Dispatch. But it's kind of insulting how you can access the steam store page without 18+ privileges and or even without an account altogether. And yet they ban Japanese games and VNs left and right, occasionally even when they've got no explicit visuals whatsoever. And yet Dispatch, or plenty of other western games, can have explicit sex scenes. But it's fine if it's western? Unironic anti Asian, anti 'anime' bias. Fucked up.
What surprised me the most was Stardew Valley being more successful than any Harvest Moon game ever was by copypasting the formula.
>>725948190He's not a nigger, he's an evolved bulborb. The DK universe actually takes place about 1 million years into the future of the Pikmin universe.
Worst thing that ever happened to jrpgs was voice acting and generic nu anime artstyle.
>>725947930E33 is an RPG with turn based combat. It's not a JRPG on grounds of not being Japanese and quite frankly the term JRPG shouldn't even exist. We don't call platformers that took cues from Mario and Sonic J-Platformers. Call of Duty is not an American First Person Shooter game.
>>725939261Crazy what happens when you get these styles of game without the "UGUUU SENPAI TASUKETE!" dialogue
>>725939725people want the credit for being part of a subculture without having to partake in the actual subject matter. Thats why anti jrpg retards on /v/ are always looking for the next casual RPG to play that makes them feel like they're playing a jrpg.Human beings are funny like that.
>>725939345>Almost like japs cant fucking make good games.more like japs can't write a good story>EHHHHHH?
>>725939261>Funny how westerns like westerns games made for western people
It's because the Japanese cannot understand nuanced approach to improving a formula. They either make the same product over and over and over unchanged or they sperg out and change the original product to the point that the original is unrecognizable. It's largely why Japanese gaming has stagnated and quality Western releases lap the East 10 to 1. It's also the draw back of being them running small teams. It takes them F O R E V E R to release something largely unimpressive.
>>725948397SDV ended up being more successful because:>Concerned Ape has continuously updated the game over the years>SDV is easily moddable to round out its rough edges>It has more layers of progression which makes it more addicting to play through (skill levels, romance levels, building unlocks, crafting recipe unlocks, etc). >Only costs $15Oh, that and the Harvest Moon franchise crashing and burning because of corporate mismanagement.
>>725939345Japs makes better games, its just that they fucking suck at stories.
>>725947753>There's nothing dystopic about Japan.>The police is so lazy and corrupt they report every murder they can't immediately solve as suicide.>The justice system is so corrupt it has a conviction rate of 99% - if they prosecute you, you are basically fucked, because the statistic needs to stay high.>Massive teen and child prostitution problem swept under the rug to save face.>Massive number of homeless runaway teenagers, who are then sex trafficked, also swept under the rug.>Forced culture of workaholism that backfired into the hikkikomori phenomenon.>Forced culture of workaholism that disintegrated the family unit, which lead directly to their non-existent birth rates.>A permissiveness towards adultery unknown basically anywhere in the world.>Massive alcoholism problem swept under the rug.>Many sources of water so poisoned you have to watch out which fish you eat and in what amount. I hope you like the taste of mercury.>An economic downfall that started in the 90s and never stopped.
Name one (1) Japanese game with a good story
>>725948035>Chinks have worker protections.Yeah that's why all those workplace accident videos come out of Japan all the time.
>>725948807Japs are way better at storytelling than anyone in the West post-2007.
>>725948836You described almost every single first world country in the modern age.
>>725948886See>>725948836
>>725948791dont forget ape gives out keys on vee every christmas
>>725948739
>>725948934No. The only one common are the low birth rates, and those started in Japan much, much sooner than anywhere else.
>>725948959Deflecting from how retarded of a statement, "chinks have worker protections" is. I didn't say anything good about Japan either.
>>725948836>The police is so lazy and corrupt they report every murder they can't immediately solve as suicide.This doesn't happen.>The justice system is so corrupt it has a conviction rate of 99%That's because they don't bring charges unless they think they can convict you. Prosecutors in the US do similar things where they'll decline to press charges if they need to bolster their prosecution rate.>Massive teen and child prostitution problem swept under the rug to save face.This is happening in most countries, especially those with larges Muslim populations (grooming gangs)
Can't you just enjoy a good game when you see one? It doesn't have to be a battle of east vs west. Dispatch has problems and the writing isn't that good, but the characters are endearing and the pace is nice and fast. Its got nothing to do with real Visual Novels either. If you hate japanese games then you have mental problems, and if you hate western games you also have mental problems. Just play what interests you.
>>725939261still pretty sure House of Fata Morgana is one of the highest rated games on Metacritic.Pretty sure Persona 5 is one of the highest rated JRPGs of all time.
Imagine still being a weeb
>>725948915Both are bad because popular culture in general is shit. I want capeshit to fuck off and die.The only problem is that the only other thing they know is to milk the ever loving shit out of 80s franchises that's also been done to death.
>>725948572>It's not a JRPG on grounds of not being Japanese and quite frankly the term JRPG shouldn't even exist.How come nobody has this type of energy for French fries, fine China, Korean Pop, or Portuguese man o' wars?
>>725948963Well yes, but he only gives out a couple hundred keys on /v/ so that's only a couple thousand copies. It wouldn't make a dent in his 40 million+ sales.
>>725939261Both look ugly as fuck
>>725949140Shhh, let them have this one.Westoids have been having dining on nothing but cope since 2016.Let them dream their little dreams of resurgence.
>>725949140>Can't you just enjoy a good game when you see one?not on v, where its expected of you to hate everything
>>725948836anon....try to guess what this picture represents
>>725949195Imagine not being a weeb in 2025
>>725949195You mean like the guys who made Expedition 33?
>>725948980its so much funnier for the guitars when you learn that at that time, gibson and fender were making basically their most dogshit products of all time during the 70s when the lawsuits started against the asian clones. most of the biggest japanese guitar makers now were making american guitar clones when they started, because american guitars had such piss poor quality and construction in the 70s it created a cottage industry for superior clones.
>>725949509Its pretty clear that Expedition 33 is an ironic weeb game. I mean, catch up on persona 5? Fucking seriously?
>>725949509the game is good in spite of their shit taste
Funny how the West outdoes literally everything once woke is gone.
people who think the western game industry makes better shit than the japanese one nowadays are so bizarre
>>725949826Anon, this year has had several major Western shitshows.>Ass Creed Shadows>Doom: The Dark Ages>Metroid Prime 4: Deadpool>Mafia: The Old Country>Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2>Killing Floor 3And this is after the obscenely bad 2024. We've had 3 good Western games this year, one from France, one from Australia, and one from America. All of which took several years to develop.
>>725950314Still not bad as this year for movies.
>>725950314Mafia the old country was extremely successful though?
>>725950151They don't really like games, they like cinematic experiences.If you only like 3D adventure games with simple controls and detailed cutscenes, then yes the west is way better at those. Japaense 3d games that focus on narrative experiences are extremely cringe to them.
>>725950425Yeah, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle mogging fucking SUPERMAN should show that the West has completely collapsed its cultural sector. This must be revenge for the hubris of Westerners believing Superman could beat Goku.
>>725950656Comics superman is so outrageously OP, I wonder why they made him such a jobber in the animated series.
>>725950314>one from France, one from Australia, and one from AmericaI suppose the one from France is Expedition 33, so what are the other two?
>>725948915
>>725939261>Funny how visual novels and JRPGs get amazing reception when they aren't written by cliché-brained gooks.Who would've guessed?
>>725951000Silksong from Australia, Dispatch from America.
>>725951047The Chinese and Koreans do not count as Japanese.
The glazing of E33 and this VN is really weird to me. Like that robot game on the Playstation last year that won game of the year. Don't even remember the name. People were pretending like it was this really big deal and now nobody ever talks about it. And I'm not saying it was a bad game or anything, but people were glazing it to a ridiculous degree. Same here.
>>725939261It almost like anime is shit and even Japanese games that aren't technically anime have well worn anime character archetypes and those tropes make it feel like shitty anime. For example>a childhood best friend who is now a supermodel that secretly wants to fuck/marry protag-kun. Tifa, every female character zelda OoT, at least 1 character in every fire emblem game.>an annoying rival that's constantly showing up and entire personality is just wanting to beat protag-kun.Liquid Snake, every pokemon game ever made, at least 1 character in every fire emblem game>Protag-kun is just a regular Japanese teenage highschool student but an the end of of the story he will find out he is the most powerful and supercool guy at school.Every Persona game>Don't get me stated on Isekai.JRPG and VN are held back by shitty generic writing. Not to say Dispatch didn't have well worn tropes like the lover being secretly a spy but people in the west don't see them as well worn. Also Dispatch had a higher production budget than any japanese VN ever made. E33 looks amazing compared to any and every JRPG ever made.
>>725946507That's Korean territory, not Japanese, thoughbeit.
>>725942653>'BUT IT WAS ALL A DREAM' a.k.a. the plot device they use as an example of BAD WRITING IN FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL'Pseud take
>>725951745Which VNs have you actually played completely? Because you sound like you're getting boss baby vibes from every movie - even though you haven't actually seen boss baby, or any other movie for that matter.
>>725946067Is it random or does the narrative rely on it rajesh? Make up your mind
>>725942653>the plot device they use as an example of BAD WRITING IN FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOLThe primary cause for people not liking this is because it was referenced a million times in bad skit comedy series after a single TV show pulled it off
>>7259517851. Korea deserves to actually be nuked2. That island is in the middle of Seto Inland Sea
>>725939261Dispatch is a movie game like TLOU, not a vn. You read nothing
>>725939261funny how v sucks off dispatch but hates on other movie games
>>725952176Dispatch has actual gameplay even if it is 80% movie game.
>>725952237so does every snoy slop game
>>725952389But it actually looks nice and not like pic related.
>>725951785same shit, both can't write
i wrote an essay about clair obscurahttps://youtu.be/A3Q_NZNF2HQ
>>725946495Video games are only as manchildish as we let them be you fucking faggot, this isn't to say that what western devs have tried to do with it hasn't backfired horribly for the most part but there are some real stand out titles that actually proves that games can be art more than toys for children and manchildren.What Japan did was give up, what the west did was sell out and the rest of the world all seem to be stuck in some sort of in between if they even have the knowledge on how to make a decent game in the first place.
>>725952042>TLOUNow now, TLOU has some great action. 2 has some of the best.Hillcrest? Fun as shit. Everyone will agree.
Pretty sure visual novels generally get better reception than most story based games in general because they are just books, or in Dispatch's case, a cartoon drama. It's kind of funny how full this thread is of probably 2-3 faggots bouncing their japan hateboners off of each other while completely ignoring any actual evidence of OP's claim
>>725952556>This is a J...>This is a J R... eugh>This-this is oh my gawd you
>>725952004You have a below-Asian-average-sized penis, Makoto.
>>725952672I'm American
>>725952441so the difference is just arbitrary bullshit? who could have guessed that
>>725952869Too much graphics makes games look bad
>>725939345>>725939261it's almost like whitoids are biased towards western games
>>725953065White people worship non-whites and vice versa. That's why all the non-whites chose Blonde Blazer in Dispatch and all the whites chose Invisigal.
>>725952661>9 reviewslmao
People here putting down Japanese games due to some sense that they have superior taste for stories is retarded, we are talking about video games, which are toys. Rdr2, GoW, TLOU, FF7, E33, Metaphor, Witcher 3 none of those will ever be taken seriously by normal people that aren’t gamers. Western vs Eastern is all on the same field. Games are treats to relax to, not something that is comparable to discussing literature or somethingTLDR I dub thee cringe
>>725953648How does that fence post feel up your ass?
>>725939261And most of dispatch was waifufagging to boot, but since it was western and woke twitter advocated for it.
>>725951341>terrible sequel to a decent overhyped platformer>a shitty VN novel>goodleast name some actual good unique games like look outside, instead of marketed slop
I don't think it's funny
>>725939261Funny how just using normal white guys and hot waifus help
>>725943401Blame boomers and their autistic obsession with studying
>>725939261Another reason why I hate the majority of humanity. No wonder people go on killing sprees.

>>725939261Cinematic fantasy RPGs are the other side of the "niggas when a game doesn't have guns or a ball" coin. We're in a phase where games that are simply enjoyable to exist in are niche. You either need guns or a ball, or you need Lord of the Rings/Capeshit/Star Wars with level ups in order to get media hype.
>>725948572True, but it'd be funny if we started using Sonic-likes and Sonic-lites. Because then 99% of western AAA would become Sonic-lites overnight.>Homing attack, the obnoxious hand holding and guiding the player and telling them what to do and never shutting the fuck upTechnically they'd all be Sonic Heroes-lites.
>>725948572The term JRPG exists for the same reasons the term anime exists. They're not just RPGs or cartoons, they're products and expressions of a unique culture that influences every other culture that follows in its footsteps.

>>725939261I think there's something about jap games that is inherently "for kids". It's like they never grew up with their customers but continue to cater to kids. They seem unable to make something appealing for over 30yo people who are not manchildren. It's only okay when Nintendo does it, because that's their audience and will always be.
>>725939261left is the most reddit shit ever
>>725973609>What happenedThree groups that hate how Japan is beloved, two of whom have only recently shown up and gained a small level of notoriety are furious that with all their shitposting and spreading of propaganda, people still love Japan and their games.The two new ones in question being chinks and gooks. They spam their gachaslop and claim that because it's making endless amounts of money they're better than Japan. Then, when a Japanese game comes out and it's beloved they start seething and complaining about it because to them it's not enough that Japan isn't first, they need Japan to be dead last. Anything else isn't a win to them.Then you have the western side that still believes "the only reason gaming isn't taken seriously as an artform is because of Japan and their pervy games THEY ARE THE ONES HOLDING US BACK" and they're just a different kind of mentally retarded since their supposed "mature games for mature gamers" are so dumbed down and "hand-holdy" that Mario or Sonic is more demanding of the player's ability.>tl;dr - retarded narcissists that want Japan taken down for various reasons. Narcissists are known to have zero self-awareness.

>>725939345FPBP. Japanese games are mostly cheaply made slop that's near showelware tier. No wonder they get crushed by things like COE33 or dispatch.
Dispatch sucks and people just like it because the crappy love sim garbage and streamers acting like it's the greatest story in the world.
>>725975086Games with an actual adult as the protagonist, off the top of my head, I can think about those recent ones:>The Witcher 3>RDR2>Disco Elysium >E33>CP77Only Fromsoft games and Kojima try to cater to that same audience.

How is RDR2 a mature game when it's so dumbed down a toddler can clear it?Oh, you meant in terms of visuals because that's the only thing you can think of when it comes to maturity. With that mentallity, you'd unironically praise a Dora the Explorer tier game if it had swearing, gore and drug use in it.

I’m trying out E33 due to the relentless shilling, but the image quality during cutscenes is disgusting. How do I fix it? I’ve never played something where the cut scenes look worse. Also, I find the dialogue and sound design or lack thereof very aggravating. It definitely has that cheapo JRPG feel, but with unreal graphics for better or worse.
>>725974887Chinese people appreciate Japanese games more than you do. They supported the new Ninja Gaiden while white people were busy playing a gay French rpg.
>>725939261that's not a JRPG, retard

>>725972974you lost brother
>>725975046Stark is an incredible character though
>>725939261Asians can't write for shit. They may be reasonably high IQ, but they're abysmally low agency. They can recognize and therefore repeat the patterns of things that happen in what they're told are good stories, but they're unable to actually write different characters, a whole world, and how they'd all interact and progress like the superior White mind can. That's why effectively all anime is shallow, corpo trope checklist dogslop. And that's the JAPANESE, the one type of Asian that isn't wholly a bugbrain.
>>725945981metaflop got it's deluxe version cancelled kek>>725946198>sega>biggest JRPG publisheronly one of their JRPGs have ever sold more than 5 million. Nier, DQ11, and FF7R all did.

>>725979546You're garbage.
>>725948807jap storytelling superiority is the main reason why manga has driven western comic into extinction.
>>725977807Well yes, since story and visuals are the only things that matter in terms of "maturity". Gameplay doesn't matter, since kids are actually better at videogamin than adults.
>>725984389Western comics aimed at kids and teens. It's actually the point, Japanese can't write anything appealing to adults, but are good at making appealing content to kids.
>>725939345Japs can make games. What they can't do is write. All they really understand is high-camp, and memes.
>>725939261Ok George Soros. Fuck you and die for this shit thread.

More of them have been the absolute worst piles of dog and cat shit it has been my great misfortune to waste any part of my life on (Ni no Kuni II, Tails of Graces, FFXII, FFXIV, Tales of Vesperia, and most definitely Trails of Cold Steel).I know good and god damn well that JRPGs are dogshit, and I'm going to spell it out for you why:1.) As RPGs, the gameplay is usually mediocre. Specifically JRPGs are often the rock bottom dirt worst Three Niggas In A Line selecting the Win option out of the menu, and "ATB" bars like Chrono Trigger are the exact same thing only with additional pain in the ass2.) They aren't actually RPGs. They are perfectly linear narratives of perfectly linear characters going through a perfectly linear plot. There is no player agency regarding any of this. No, putting the cat in a maid outfit, while funny, doesn't count. There has never been a Japanese game that is actually a Role Playing Game.3.) As hardware has improved to allow the center left unlifting onions manlets of Japan to write MOAR, the writing in their games has become fucking abominable. I swear, 50% of Tales of Graces was the whiny retard characters repeating whiny shit they already whined. Chrono Trigger was probably only "well written" because there's a fucking word limit when you're on the SNES.All of this is why Japanese "action games" (Ys, Metal Gear, Dragon's Dogma, etc) are all not just better to play, but better written. The gameplay is good and there's USUALLY less rl;dr dreck
