How come japanese games tend to look better than western games? i find western games often lack a beautiful aesthetic and often have ugly characters for some reason.
art and aesthetic is more important to their culture and they still teach it in their school curriculumcountries like US as a whole do not value or respect art and see it as an economic hurdle vs being the point

>>736403410thats interesting. i know theres talented artists in america i wonder why they arent utilized in video games much.
>>736403347Americans are really attracted to realism for some reason. It's the same with their art too, aside from the modern art psyop, american artists tend to value reaslism. Japs value style over all else.
>>736403347Eastern games attempt to look good because they want people to buy their games.Western games attempt to be as repulsive as possible to spite the chuds. The type of person who traditionally plays games has an appreciation for beauty, whether it be landscapes or architecture or characters. Developers gain a sense of satisfaction from knowing that 'the enemy' is upset. They might also sell some copies to fellow progressives as a show of solidarity, but profits are not a primary concern.
>>736403593When it comes to America, the answer is always "because it's cheaper to do" or "because it makes more money". The formula to sell is not to have a really good, but niche, art direction, but rather have a bland and generic art direction. While no one is going to love it, no one is also going to feel strongly about it enough to be turned off. Where as if you go a niche direction, the people into that niche love it, but everyone not in that niche are not buying it
>>736403908Design by committee is the disease that has been killing games ever since the first AAA game was successful.
>>736403410This. Also, art is seen as kind of a kiddish/feminine hobby. That's why cartoons and comics were seen as children's interests until anime and manga came along.
>>736403347America has been overreacting to its puritan values as hard as humanly possible since the 80s so anything that's not edgy or manly got painted as faggy. This only started to change very recently (mid 2010s) but it is still has some deep rooted hatred towards anything beautiful..>>736403848>Western games attempt to be as repulsive as possible to spite the chudsWestern games, hell western art, has been "ugly" way before social wars related to chuds were a thing. Go check any American cartoon from the 90s and most of them were trying to look absurd and ugly. Same with many western video games, even when they looked pretty good they usually aimed for grit rather than beauty.
>>736403347Japanese devs get to work with Japanese.Americans have to work with "Americans."Europeans are also plagued by said "Americans," especially in publishing.
>>736403347Leftists want us all to be seen as equal and beauty is unfair, so they make the games intentionally ugly as a subversion of traditional beauty standards.

>>736404127>Go check any American cartoon from the 90sBefore some fag gets mad at me for saying this, I'm not saying there's any inherently wrong with absurdist visuals and ugly caricatures but let's not pretend for a second that the vast majority of cartoons from the era were trying to capture beauty or anything like that
>>736403347Because so called 'western' games are actually Jewish, and Jews abhor beauty.
>>736403347>>736403830>>736403908The west focusing on realism that goes back for centuries and maybe even a thousand years, same with the East and their art style. Its not a America vs Japan thing, its a world history thing. There's a lot more to it but too old and dumb to brush up on my ancient history but more people really should brush up on ancient history and stop thinking art is nothing but US vs Japan. You'd be surprised at how deep eastern vs western art styles go.

>>736403830>Americans are really attracted to realism for some reasonAs an American, I can back that up. I think it has to do with more realism = more talent, so less realism = less talent. And cartoons being aimed and catered to kids significantly more than adults. So you grow up thinking realistic depictions are adult versus colorful weird things being for kids. You do have artists like Van Ghog which are honored as greats. However, his story of him chopping off his ear is commonly talked about too, so his mental issues are probably a way to explain away his talent as an exception to the norm. It is also why you probably get that idea of the 'Japan is weird' thing to both show appreciation for it as well as excuse away anything we can't explain as weird and against the norm we perceive as 'realistic'. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking this.
