Is there a reason arcade gaming died out in the West, but continues to thrive in Japan?
>>738904803dumb poser whore
>>738904803economy + no new arcade games at least in this place + joggers everywhere
>>738904803there's barcades everywhere do you not go outside?
>>738904803This bitch is a fucking ham planet by 90s standards
>>738904803western women are scrolling tiktok while japanese women are 1ccing garegga
holy /v/irgins...
>>738904803She's too fat for my taste
(((They))) made a concerted effort to destroy all social spaces in the west in order to heighten loneliness and loss of community
>>738904803Because PC and console gaming picked up in the West, but didn't become as big of a staple in Japan
>>738904803Population density
>>738904803>fat>tits don't even touch Well that's just sad.
I used to work at dave and busters and I can tell you exactly why.The main thing is in the west there is 1 major contender: Dave and Busters. The rest are all indie owned.In japan there are not only lots of arcades but there are lots of arcade chains.The thing is the vendors that sell these "amusement attractions" as they call them do not sell 1 unit at a time, you need to buy lots sometimes 20-40 units.You can't buy one of the newest Dance Dance revolution machines, you have to buy 10.For an indie shop this is impossible, so they stay alive mostly off old units. Only multi-location conglomerates can eat the cost of buying these cabinets and pawning off 10 older ddr cabinets, since it comes down to the individual location to deal with it and nobody wants to deal with it they're often destroyed as a write-off.It's purely a problem of scale and logistics, and it's also why you see significantly less japanese games, fighting games, etc in western arcades.
>>738904803i havent been to any major arcades that didnt have a combination of either movie ride "games", skeeballs, basketballs and whatever other sports machines, and the handful of other cheap games like bass fishing and ball droppers. arcades refuse to have anything actually fun and are split into either expensive fun games that give barely any tickets, or games meant to make you waste tokens for tickets
I think if a woman has a gut she's disgusting.
>>738904803late 90s/early 00s kidnapping hysteria.Kids weren't allowed outside on their own the same as they were in the 80s.
>>738905383you do not go outside
>>738905491They look ok to me But I agree she should definitely lose weight
>>738905335
>>738905383What they did is convince you that the jews killed everything so you'd stay inside and keep consuming their content instead of going outside
>>738905916Fucking kek, that’s how to deal with ‘em.
>>738905335I love being white but I would never ever date a white w*man.
>>738904803Every time I see a new arcade game it's taking up a massive amount of floor space and costs way too much to play. The fun of going to an arcade was having a variety of different games to play for just a quarter a pop. When you have one choice that's expecting you to drop a $5 to play an coked up version of Pac-Man, you ditch that spot.
I'd give anything to go back to the 90s.
>>738904803>Thrive in JapanSource of this claim?!
>>738906010I am generating ai porn videos of this as we speak
>>738905916You're proving his point if you think that you thick fuck.
>>738905335How old is she?

>>738906456Please share
>>738904803If you go out in Japan, nothing happens. You enjoy a peaceful day. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. No one bothers you and the streets are all welcoming. Going to the arcade for fun is a great experience.In the US, if you get out, there's a 90% chance you'll get shot. Deal with the most annoying people on Earth outside of India. And be lucky if you don't get shot in the arcade as well.
>>738904803Who knows.
>>738906545iirc sega pulled out of the arcade business, but a different company bought all their spaces and have a similar 4 letter name so they could have a similar logo. they basically are just sega arcades again but the logo has different letters and thats it
>>738906619https://files.catbox.moe/2axmaw.mp4
>>738906198Same they want respect but can't do one thing worth a shit
>>738906359I'd settle for the 2000s or early 2010s but same. The Internet, "smart" phones and social media being ubiquitous really changed a lot of social dynamics for the worse. It will recover but it will be a long time until that happens.
>>738904803Whats her OF?
>>738904803Journalists started shitting on action/arcade games during the PS2 era for being too gamey and not cinematic enough.Idiots followed them like lemmings and the market shifted dramatically.

>>738904803>thrives in japanNews to me.
>>738908961Don't know, it's not my edit. Probably a local model
>>738905491they're touching me
>>738905254So I kept hearing this. And I had a week off work in March, so I googled it up, and went to every "barcade" within a 1 hour drive from my house.5 of them could pass for an arcade (albeit a shitty one) and all the rest were just "video gaming" aka slot machines and video parker in a hole in the wall.I think if you actually go to these places you will see they are basically fake.
>>738906909damn, what model did you use?if that's a local one, holy shit. I still remember them being absolute ass
game centers are outdated.
>>738904803Zamn.. ai ain’t half bad…

>>738906909nice
I went to one where they had like epic characters fight each other spray art on the walls and the fucking food was overpriced,like 25 dollars for a 16in cheese pizza. Drinks were almost 20 with a forced tip option that wasn't percentage based. I had a kinda miserable experience.

>>738904803I'm lucky to have a local arcade. It's $20 for unlimited freeplay for the day. They've got most of the classics, although some of the machines could really use a bit of work. They've even got one machine that can emulate pretty much anything.
>>738905335What game is she playing? I played this back when I was in 1st grade and haven't been able to recall the name of it. This is the first time I've actually seen footage or a screenshot of it since, but this is without a doubt the same one.
>>738905335>>738916180Nevermind, I'm a dumbfuck. You said the name right in your post, I just didn't recognize it. Thank you for posting.
>>738906909how the fuck did you do this with grok? it was censored to hell and back let's see more
>>738904803Why spend $20 at the arcade when you can spend $60 for a game that you can play as much as you want?>all these fagsThe 90s obsession with being rail thin was driven by gay fashion designers and mean girls shit.
>>738904803i will find her
>>738916367I'm pretty sure that isn't grok. Unless he has some hidden strategy editing uploaded images with grok is super locked down now
>>738906198Literally the most bottom tier of women next to black women in terms of personality. You ain't missing much.
>>738904803>continues to thrive in Japan?Never been to Japan huh? The reason arcades "thrive" there is because rhey aren't arcades. They are:>Entire 5 story buildings of nothing but crane games (UFO catchers). And no, that isn't hyperbole. They really fill the entire building>buildings with 4 stories of crane games but one story for rhythm games>buildings with a bunch of machines bit they're all just one Gundam game>a tiny retro arcade tucked away on the second floor of some building you'd never find without google maps. There are ten games and half of the machines are damaged or straight unplayable>Round 1Round 1 is fun at least, but they're bringing those overseas. If you go to Japan expecting awesome arcades, ylu're gonna be disappointed. They literally only care about crane games there.
I miss DisneyQuest.

>>738906653weebs are so cringe
>>738904803The simple answer is because women go to the arcades in Japan which attracts males.Women don't go to arcades in America so it's just a hub for virgin incels, and then they develop a virgin incel reputation so no one else wants to go to them and they eventually close down because even virgin incels don't want to spend their entire life in a sausagefest.
>>738904803I fucking hate arcades so fucking much.
>>738927212You've never been to a real one, then.
>>738904803Every good machine that actually makes you money has price markup of $10,000 USD and above, and that's for the single versions, then if you are not in the US you have to import for China, and you can guess how well that can go because you're bring in some very heavy product, to make the most out of import costs you have to fill the container with as much games as you canHowever you can maybe find some games that survived outside Japan and still run after 30 years, this is my original Battle Gear 2 I have in my arcade, we constantly call a maintenance guy that keeps most games running. The shitty chinese games die often and some original 90's cabinets from japan break down because of video issues and graphical devices giving outYeah that's another thing about arcades, you'll depend on whoever can fix them up, not many people around who can do that anymore
>>738909570You can do shit like this on Tensor with ease. But honestly after Grok everything looks like shit.
>>738912778This is true, every Taito Station in tokyo now has 2 floors dedicated to UFO machines, a floor for few normie friendly games such as taiko tatsujin, and then the rest of the floors are rhythm games and kimotaku brait trash
>>738924239I've been to many cities in Japan. It's no better anywhere else.
>>738905598yes the games suck. whenever i go to these things with friends i just stick with the skiball and basketball hoop shit anyways because its more fun than “mobile game but… BIG??!!”
The last time I was able to visit an arcade in the US half of the shit was broken and unplayable. No one respects anything here anymore
>>738904803The eternal OOGA BOOGA BIXNOODfrican American
>>738904803Japanese public spaces arent overflowing with future doctors and astronauts. Their kids can safely commute to and from the arcades without becoming statistics.
>>738904803>Pose at arcade>tits on focus>OMG I'm such a gamer, remember to subscribe for absolutely no benefits Repeal women rights
>>738923545
>>738904803I have an arcade dance pad at home. I habe no further need for arcades.

>>738930894breasts
Let me give you a history lesson>Arcade games get made>Arcades start popping up>"Oh hey, you like these games? I like em too, let's hang out here and play together!"In the east>"Oh wow, all these people are hanging out in my establishment! I better do my best to make sure my arcade is a respectable place where people can get together, relax and have fun. Oh, you need an ashtray? Sure, we've got lots you can borrow. Happy gaming!"In the west>"Look at all those kids, playing video games that rot their brains. Woah, hold up. Is that person SMOKING? Who knows what other kind of ruffians predate these premises. Drug dealers? Criminals? We need to protect children from all these dangers that I never actually saw at the arcade. We need to set new laws!"To this day in my town it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to be at an arcade without an adult.
>>738920831>not one mention of mikadoopinion discarded
>>738904803Biggest thing is in Japan people don't relay on cars. They walk and take public transit more so while you're waiting for a train you got arcades around to keep you busy. We would have this too in America if we were so reliant on cars.
