>JRPGs bad
>>738762838>There was once upon a time where Sessler was taken seriously
>>738762908The last thing he was right about was Bioshock Infinite and that was a fluke because he was right about it for the wrong reasons.He didn't even play games like Morgan did.
>>738762838I feel like they wiled it into reality, because JRPGs were actually struggling for the duration of 7th gen.
>ummm, JRPG protagonists are all faggots, why do female characters all have big boobs? ugh, Japan, why can't you be normal?>anyway, we give The Guy Game 4/5
>>738763374That was more of a combination of 3D graphics and hardware not being able to support a 3D open world of any scale. So you got JRPGs that were basically hallway simulators.
>>738762908its absolutely crazy to think that "people" actually enjoy metal gear games
>>738762838Based
not a problem if you never watch xplay or the faggy talk showsg4 was all about cinematech, portal, cheat, and filter before it turned into the cops channel
>>738763380Jacking off to real women is normal, jacking off to cartoon characters is mental illness.
>>738763532Ok onlyfans paypig.
>>738762838I can't believe they thought they could make X-Play without the casual racism and sexism of the early 2000s. So many jokes were "Women are dumb, amiright fellas?" or "We seriously need to nuke Japan again".
>>738762838They gave SMT Nocturne 5/5 though
>>738762838Yes, JRPGs bad. This was commonly accepted before techtv or g4 were even a thing, and is only raged against now because this is a hive of japanophile anime faggots who think anything from the country of their gay cartoons has to worshipped.
>>738764038go back to your $5 budget dark snd gritty medieval knight game europoor. first worlders are talking
>>738764447There's another anime faggot now. "I-it's from heckin hentailand it has to be good, if you dont like the same faggot ass tranny cartoons as the unemployed neets from 4chins you must be europoor!"No, you're just a faggot and I'm sick of this queer shit being reposted by anime trannies.
>>738763374Jrgps were doing perfectly well on portables and there was a lot of cool experimentation going on with the genre in gen 7. Retards just saw final fantasy fucking up and imposing that on the entire genre
>>738763428They are pretty fun, during the brief moments you get to play a fucking videogame in between the 90 hour long exposition cutscenes that are just a failed film maker's mashup of references from other media he saw, entry level philosophy and faux deep musings on the nature of war and conflict, which to be fair WAS novel when the first game came out and sounds really cool to someone with zero exposure to that stuff, as gamers in the 90's would be.
>>738763428Oh? And what do you prefer?
>>738762838It was funny. It made weabs who took it seriously seethe.
>>738763772>resurrect a show that was known to air alongside shit like MXC, which was absolutely saturated with politically incorrect humor>let's get some fuck ugly crazy eyed narcissist dyke to rant about how much she hates men for half an hourwhat were they thinking?
nobody actually watched this crap
>>738764732Ark Knights, Girls Frontline, Honkai
>>738762838even a broken clock...
>>738764534>don't like what I like? Clearly a tranny lmaoThe western industry is fucking dogshit, dude
>>738762838>Gamers bad
>>738764729Spoken like someone that hasn't played metal gear games. There's way more gameplay than cutscenes in all of them
>>738763580NTA, but I get free porn in Porno Lab!I used to be a member of Empornium, but then I never actually used my account! You don't know what you have until it's gone!
>>738762838Westerners generally hate anything that is remotely Japanese unless it's very Westernized (souls, MGS, RE) or it's something that's related to their childhood/teens (reason why love FFVII despite hating JRPGs)
>>738764924Yea if you skip past 7 cutscenes in a row, then leave the game running while you take a dump, make a sandwich and do the dishes, that might be true.
>>738763518fuck yeah PORTAL
>>738765014>eceleb brainrot poster says dumb shitKill yourself
>>738762838It wasnt only jrpgs they dunked on it was rpgs in its entirety
Considering Xplay covered the ps2 era, the writers were probably exposed to a truckton of slop
>>738765119I wish we could get a full set of episodes.
>>738766743Portal was rescued from complete lost media status early last year when some random found his VHS recordings in an attic and uploaded the last missing episodes of season one, mostly. You can download them all on youtube.
>>738767189Oh shit really?! Fuck yeah
>>738762838it is bad i only play it for toriyama art style and sugiyama music
>>738764729>>738764924>>738765046
>>738767536hack
Did people really get assblasted at xplay mocking their favorite games? I'm speaking as a zoomer looking back in retrospect, but I find the humor in old xplay clips funny even if they're making fun of a game I like.
>>738763532What if modern real women are 200lb+ tatted up pierced mystery meat abominations?
Games journalists were just as shit in 1990 as they are now, nevermind 2000
>>738763836they also gave persona 4 a 4/5
>>738762838Thry literally gave SMT3 a 5/5, calling it v the GTA of RPGs though.
>>738762838>JRPGs ba-...ACK!!!>Shadow Hearts - From the New World: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e64slHvha4A>Shadow Hearts - Covenant: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_MT5Vh6uTg>Final Fantasy X-2: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G-uE1Ogv98>Final Fantasy XII: 5/5youtube.com/watch?v=yoRqDt0GiSE>Dragon Quest VIII: 5/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3mZAAwZW-I>Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne: 5/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ckniA7YbB0>Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 FES: 4/5youtube.com/watch?v=9LP_TkQs7vI>Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMI8KTniCZk>Jeanne d'Arc: 4/5youtube.com/watch?v=7cPDeGzz4iU>Enchanted Arms: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LN03yYA-L8>Kingdom Hearts II: 4/5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxa0JOSrhW0There is not a universe in which American media outlets are "unfair" to JRPGs while giving Enchanted Arms a 4/5 rating. X-Play were equal opportunity haters of shit and also made discriminatory jokes at the expense of everyone, no matter WHAT country they were from (including self-deprecating American jokes).Of course, you'd only know this if you were actually born early enough to witness X-Play and other Western video game journalism outlets during that time period.
>>738762838I remember them gushing over KIngdom Hearts 2.The Eruopean/American hate of JRPGs is recent and mostly insecure zoomers scared of bring made fun of for like anything anime related.
>>738768009>>738768135I also forgot to add they dhit on bad games too like giving Sonic 06 a 1/5. Thry hate shit games and had ZERO biases.
>>738768039Again, speaking purely as a zoomer who did not live through the era, their supposed "bias against jrpgs" to me just looks like typical shock jock humor that was common in the 2000s.
Gentlemen.I fucking love JRPGs.
sexo mit morgan von vebb
hot stuff coming your way
>>738764729this 23 year old has the HOTTEST takes
>>738768235the fuck is shock jock humor
>>738768135I don't know if I would still call it "recent"It definitely wasn't a thing when KH II was new, but I feel like it started around the time Bioware was converting to become a console first developer. Which is like almost 20 years ago now.
>>738768580He said he was a zoomer, ignore retardation.
>>738763428it's all faggot ass boomers..it's always faggot ass boomers pushing retarded games that nobody you know has ever heard of let alone played. they haven't played them either because boomer retards don't play games
>>738768580>”woooah Japanese games?! When’s the tentacle porn and shouting minigames, amirite!”, “We give Sister Pee Party Blast, 2 enola gays *hehe gay*, out of 5!”
>>738762838Sessler did mention something about this on a podcast in like 2014. At the time Xplay was in it's heyday basically anyone with a stake in G4TV were also big investors into Microsoft and a few other major US based gaming concerns like EA/Activision. So they basically got ordered to shit talk any and all jap games unless doing so would be a major dent against their brand (like FF's or some other smash hit)
>>738768358I'm 34, fuck off retard.>hot takeZoomer lingo even spoken in irony makes you gay.
>>738768832>on some podcast back in...One you heard in a dream?
>So you like Xenosaga?>What the FUCK is your problem?
>>738768924>34oh good that means I was probably on here calling you a stupid faggot 15 years ago, I was right then and I'm still right now.
>>738768282me too anon? Top 5? also watch playing rn. Im playing P3Reload, XB3, Monochrome Mobius, and Shadow Hearts 1 atm.
>>738768282Okay now do the rest
>>738768924i hate that we are the same age because i must be as pathetic as you are.
>>738768968>>738769023You are a poopy diaper eating penis face too, you petulant child.
>>738762908The top guys were right. MGSIV is complete garbage.
>>738768951I love deep stories that explore the human condition
>>738769037Its true, I am a poopy diaper eating petulant child
>>738764641This.
>>738769065>If I ever said anything that stupid I would shave my ass and shoot myself!
>>738768982Nta but you should play Digimon story time stranger even if you never played Digimon. It is great.
>>738769154You know anon, i have it, i started it, and i got kinda burned out in the water area. I should replay it, thanks for the reminder.
>>738768235I grew up watching G4 on TV (at friends' houses. Didn't have cable) and we all thought it was hilarious. I love JRPGs, and did back then, and these type of reviews were one of the only ways I ever saw actual game footage without actually buying a game or playing it at a friend's house.And yeah, youtube came around eventually, but everything on there was like 240p and only people with capture cards really could record anything easily. It was a different time.
I AM THORAXTHORAX THE IMPALERAND YOU SHALL BE STEVESTEVE THE VAGINA
>>738768039>>738768235Here you go childrenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19pd5Q_B0I4
>DO YOU LIKE JRPGS NOW?!
>>738763428You had to be there, little zoom zoom.
>>738768235Pretty much this basically
>>738769287Classic
jrpg's are in fact trash but an ios poster like op can't comprehend 2000s gaming media. sage goes in all fields.
>>738768580Think of your Howard Sterns who would say offensive shit just to get attention.
>>738769062The gameplay is fun. Only problem is there's only 4 hours of it in a 40 hour long game. It's like finding a chocolate chip in the dumpster.
>>738762838They're right, JRPG's are bad games. They're illusion of complexity, only pretending to be games. They're more like visual novels. The people who argue that they are good argue that the stories are impactful, the characters are memorable, and that the settings are interesting and unique. There's some good stuff in JRPG's but as far as game mechanics go they are lackluster. Every JRPG boils down to a simple test. Did you grind enough? If yes, progress. If no, do not progress. Despite their menus and systems giving off the appearance of strategic depth, none of these systems matter more than having a bigger number.If there are any JRPG's with strategic depth, please let me know.
>>738768982god I wanna like shadow hearts but the writing is so amateurish, it cant just be poor translation right?
>>738762838A ThreeOutOfFive
>>738764787i watched the screensavers on tech tv, it's how i got into building computers too. i also watched attack of the show, portal, cheat!, judgment day, arena, and their anime block showed serial experiments lain and last exile before they became more mainstream, along with some other older animes. toonami's late night had witch hunter robin. then i got into torrenting fansubs.
>>738768924>34 and posting on 4changrim
RPGs are games you play for the story, worlbuilding and atmosphere. Japs can't write and are creatively bankrupt so all you're left with is mind numbingly boring ms excel gameplay.
>>738762838didn't they go way too far in doing their oriental racism in one of the episodes that it got pulled from syndication after it aired and almost became lost media
>>738772806Bump
>>738777141It was a skit they did going over DDS.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5DyoGkEQEU>I fear for the day that zany bean-curd-loving race finally rules over us
I remember a time when Americans would take jabs at Japanese media in general. Think Chinpokomon from South Park or Dragonball parodies.
>>738772806Most JRPGS level scale with you these days, you cant grind.
>>738773080Its charming as hell just cozy up nigga.
>>738764787You gotta remember that web 1.0 had very minimal video content. Even web 2.0 was limited in the early years.
>>738777492That's really late-stage slowpoke style surface level mockery. Pokemon had Pokeballs at McDonalds with cards inside them. Johto League was on main channel, DBZ showed after Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog due to first-run syndications in the 90's, before 4Kidz and the like started licensing animes. So I remember pretty much the time when anime was for nerds only. It wasn't til the 2000's when other media started mocking anime. The video game fan was already steeped in the Japanese market.
>>738777492For me its Kappa Mikey
>>738762838"JRPGs bad">Goes to get high on cocaine and suck a trannies dick
>>738768039>giving shadow hearts sequels good scoresyea they didn't play them
Makes me want to lean against a glass table.
Just saying this still makes weebs seethe to this very day, long after Xplay went defunct, and it's funny every single time.
>>738768580Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, etc.
>>738768580learn to google, faggot
>>738762838So based
>>738768762>no one has heard of metal gear solid>no one has played ituh?
