What went so wrong with them? Why can't America make good games?
>>738577001
>>738577356It's like the collective America decided to go full retard some time after the 2008 financial crisis.
I think they make games that are quick bucks for shareholders but lack any substance?But also Eastern developers are more hard working and do overtime? Idk
>>738577492>But also Eastern developers are more hard working and do overtime?American workers are generally useless, dumb and hugely overpaid. Everyone in America makes big bucks for doing fuck all.
>>738577403Metaphorically speaking, we were forcibly lobotomized.
We live in your head rent free
Can't remember the last american made game I bought. Must have been either Ghost of Tsushima or Titanfall 2.
>>7385770012008 nuked our AA studios, Microsoft shitted up our industry while making sure other western third parties became just like them, 7th generation wrecked our industry. Now left-wing/right-wing puritans infiltrated the studios and pushed their agendas killing what was left, we only have non-woke indies and AAs left. The good news is that indie and AA studios are spreading to different states and here and now just being stuck in California or Washington state. The death of the Xbox will fix us good. We're PC developers, our industry needs a wake-up call.
>>738577001The american experiment has failed and you are watching it crumble in real time.
>>738577001EU should be the black one
>>738577356>EERecommend me some.
>>738577001Hollywood sucks your soul and it got into gaming
>>738577001Cool cool, you still live in a fly over country though.
name three good japanese games thats not recycled (nintendo reycles the same 5 franchises over and over) or has anime art. visual novels are barely games inb4 persona.
>>738579284
>>738577001just like anywhere else, america is losing more and more relevance by the day
>>738577725
>>738577725>90% of trumps rambling is about other countries>the other 9% is ODS and BDSsure buddy
>>738579947>2nd year in a row rpg makerWhat was before that? Termina?
>>738579947are we just living in terrible times for RPGs or has RPG codex completely lost it? they used to be ultra autists, are they compromised by the modern D&D audience?
>>738580129Oh shit, it was Felvidek. Nice.And I'm actually surprised to see Skald even mentioned.
>>738577725I live in the US, and wish some of our god awful culture didn't spread. lol
>>738577001>Why can't America make good games?Californians.
>>738577725I love how mutts think this pic is some kind of own when it only emphasise their increasing irrelevance and absence of culture
>>738577001>What went so wrong with them?Women and gays.
>>738580236I love how Europeans still think anyone cares about them or their opinions. You're not China, you're not relevant, you're not growing, you're in catastrophic decline and you still sit around being smug.
>>738580392Pot calls kettle nigger.
>>738580392lol the american butthurt about europeans while getting scammed by their own elites is always hillarious to see.please go on.
>>738577725When a clown is making fun of himself on a stage, is it the fault of the onlookers?
>>738577001>What went wrong with them?Post occupy wall street the gender wars were pushed hard onto the gullible masses so the 1% (more like 0.0001% desu) could keep doing their thing.
>>738577001Yurofags getting uppity
>>738577001EU have games?I thought they're just making the same shit DEI America does nowadays.
>>738577356>no JRPGs before 1995cmon now
successfully brainwashed into thinking policies that almost exclusively benefit the fabulously wealthy benefit them and policies that help people almost incomprehensibly closer to them in wealth are robbing them yurop has the strongest gamedev at the moment because risk can be afforded
>>738577001dodge vs ford from the 1920s. since then it has been ILLEGAL for american companies to not have exponential growth and exponential growth is the anthitesis of quality. it's the root of all enshittification.
>>738577725KEK the seething replies proving the point every single timeAmerica and Japan is the world. You're not. Every popular thread on /v/ is about American or Japanese games. Mewgenics, Slay the Spire, and that furry game have daily generals.
>>738580236>European culture >2026
>>738577725god i absolutely love retards posting this template unaware about the context of the original he is very much thinking about him
The "real" american games industry was kinda raped by EA and Activision.Especially EA is such a graveyard of formerly great american PC game devs. They bought them out, carved them out, raped them and let them die.Then they bred a new consolized american games industry and artifically pushed it by buying out game journos in the 360 era to attack games not made in america.This extremely fake (and gay) environment let some truly awful shit fester that remained unchallenged for a pretty long time which lead to things getting worse and worse.Its all so incestuous now too. The already mentioned carveout left a void that obnoxious activists could fill and they all mingle between each other. Talented people quit or were removed because they were undercut so what was left was untalented but very politically motiviated goons. GDC is basically one massive circlejerk. Retards can ruin a game and then fail upwards because they get recommended by friends. Many journos who defend the current american AAA industry end up getting important jobs in AAA games.If the people who are meant to judge the industry can also be hired by the industry the whole system is corrupt and broken. And it is.
>>738577725This is true. Mutts are free loaders of the world.
>>738577492I'm sure there's talent hidden in the states, but before one can make their dream game, they've got to budget for at least 100 dei consultants
>>738580135It couldn't be better for cRPGs, it's not xbox360/PS3 era where all crpgs and strategy games died.E33 simply couldn't be allowed to win. aRPG is preferable to jRPG
>>738577403Yeah. This is it. They went full retard and spread their retardation across the world so everything got much worse.
>>738577356>top RPGs no japanhuh?
>>738581146>Muttsare unapologetic slaves to corporations and corpos(globalists) have no nationality
>>738580135wrpgs are one of the most raped genres ever.
I just wish the west left asian entertainment alone, the fact that DEI ideology is spread japan and korea makes me miserable.
>>738581273Not a single good game was ever made in Asia
>yuropoor maybe got GTAV2>nihon got pragmata and new fromsoft title>burgerstan got ?
>>738581134To list a few.The american games environment would look very different if it wasnt for EAs meddling.
>>738580850You joke, but this seemingly small change genuinely resulted in less visible trash in my city.I'd welcome more things like this.
>>738581424it didnt change anything because everybody just rips them off.kys
>>738581403Witcher 4The Blood of DawnwalkerHunter: The Reckoning – DeathwishLords of the Fallen II
>>738581657>it didnt change anything because everybody just rips them off.Then they somehow became very nice and responsible people overnight as they dispose of the torn caps instead of throwing them on the streets.It must be because I would see them otherwise if everyone just rips them off.
>>738581362The inverse is true.Only asians and asian bastards (eastern euros) make good video games.
>>738577001California has a stranglehold on our games now. they're insane far left activists. there's no hope for us here anymore until the inevitable colapes.
>>738581407Reminder that these a majority of these companies were on the verge of bankruptcy. It was either take a buyout or shut down. Being a PC-only dev was not a fun time for financial stability from the mid-late 90s. Meanwhile the console games were getting all the big bucks.
>>738581713but those are all yuropoor as well, i asked for games from burgerstand
Currently peak Euro and India hours. Weak bait overall.
>>738577001The game development is purely European / Japanese thing.Americans for some reason don't have enough talent for it.
>>738577001us game devs believe that control of narrative in media is enough to guarantee their domination on the market.
>>738583010worked long enough. but that kind of strategy is corrosive to itself and now trust in media is completely undermined by their own actions.same happened with many established institutions recently.
>>738583119>worked long enoughThe USA never dominated the gaming market, never. Xbox 360 was their golden era, and they still lost to ps3.
>>738577001i thought europe wasnt a country
>>738583119doesnt matter. they lost control because of how widely unpopular their beliefs ware.not enough third world shills to control the discourse online.with the rise of ai datacenters they will no longer be limited by the limited number of shills they can hire.they will use american peoples taxes to steer the narrative and make them believe whatever is convenient to the 0,1%
>>738583238sony moved its headquarters from tokyo to california in 2016 to become part of that problem.
>>738577001Off the top of my head is simply because most people with talents or skills in the states aren't going to be working in the game industry. They're better off working a normal tech job. Don't have good labor protection laws like Europe and don't have the work ethic of the Japanese. Nothing good can come from working in game industry over there.
>>738582371this cope? there's nothing stopping bethesda/rockstar/blizzard studios in texas from making good games
>>738583238The US generates three times more revenue than Japan does in the gaming market in 2026. The US does indeed dominate the market, this thread is just full of lying crybabies.
>>738583639>The US generates three times more revenue than Japan does in the gaming market in 2026Yeah, thanks to COD, NBA and MLB. Fucking laughable.
Normal person>I only play Japanese gamesEuropean>I THINK ABOUT AMERICANS 24/7 AND MY UBISOFTWARE IS JUST AS GOOD AS JAP GAMES
>>738583639>The US does indeed dominate the market, this thread is just full of lying crybabies.You do realize that the last big game Americans made since Skyrim is Hogwarts Legacy, right?
>>738580531My home town is being turned into this and it's happening very fast :/
>>738577403pretty much thisjews raped them into docile npc's to worship corporations forever.
>>738583639This hasn't been true in a while, it fell to like just x2 around 2024, and it's still rapidly dropping thanks to the economic crisis in muttland that your greater israel war caused.
>>738577001Depends on the studio a lot of indies haven't drank the far left's cool aid hell left wing politics aren't even a deal breaker its the devs need to be massive faggots at all times. The insane need to make every thing ugly.
>>738577403I think 9/11 was the switch that triggered mass hysteria and paranoia amongst mutts.
>>738577725How many times did your shitty president tweet about Europe in the last months?This meme has aged like milk in the sun,m8
>>738577001Because companies started focusing on live-service AI nft DEI slop to please investors that only care about speculating on stock value
