Why?
Are the Yanks the weird ones or are the Nips?
>>
easterners think about family and enjoy being family people and think that children are the future.
westerns are too busy consuming jewish drivel and cut off their tits and dicks and dying for countries that don't care about them, supporting policies to import more jeets into their countries
>>
>>740004351
Cute kid characters make every game better. It's one of the severe shortcomings of western games, along with their obsession with trying to unevenly force "realism" in tedious, uninteresting ways
>>
>>740004458
>easterners think about family and enjoy being family people
No, Japs are just obsessed with children and childhood because adult life as a worker drone sucks ass there. Hence lolicons and JRPGs staring high school kids.
>>
Depends on the game and the kid character. Some can be grating as fuck, some can be fantastic. Doesn't really matter if it's Western/Eastern. But yes, Japan is skewed because they tend to do it more often thanks to RPGs and so on, so they have a bigger ratio of good-bad comparatively. If they had an equal amount of games, it'd probably be about the same relatively speaking.

Children characters really depend on three things, voice acting, prominence to story, gameplay. Gameplay usually either being typically good for RPGs, or just escort missions. Prominence to story can go a myriad of ways depending on the story, and voice acting is typically bad in Western compared to Eastern just because of the difference in VA/Seiyuu quality control. A big thing for Western games is mainly "violence against children npcs".

Well what are we defining as children exactly. Because Ellie in TLOU is a child. I mean obviously she isn't 5 years old, she's 14, but still a child at the end of the day.

But if we're talking strictly younger than 13, then yeah it's probably been awhile outside of random indie games and so on. Really it's just rating/violence/PR issues in the West.

Others have similar problems with Gore/Sex for instance comparatively speaking. It's just a matter of cultural differences at the end of the day.
>>
>>740004778
Which is Eastern
>>
>>740004848
A teenager isn't a child. Lets not be retards now.
Though it does get really odd. In Australia there is a law that children cannot die in video games. So in Skyrim and Fallout 3 all the kids are invincible. You will see that stupid kid in Whiterun kill a dragon if you leave them to it.
>>
>>740005018
I mean I generally agree, child-teenager-adult is how it works, but I can understand the argument that teenagers at least 13-15 are children. Regardless, yeah it's just one of those cultural things. Like imagine if Saudi Arabia or Iran started making games, they probably wouldn't have female characters or have very specific things to their current culture.

A good example of a western game is GTA however, there aren't kids because they don't want you to kill kids, and they know like Skyrim for instance, invincible NPCs just annoy people. But imagine being in the news even more because your players are going around running kids over, executing them on the street, and just doing it because they can. It's just a PR mess.

>imagine being in the news even more because your players are going around running kids over, executing them on the street, and just doing it because they can.
You don't remember that Rockstar hired a PR firm to drum up hysteria when they released each GTA game? Hysteria = News coverage (free marketing) which results in more sales. All Press is good Press.

>>740005435
True, but children being hurt in video games tends to cause a lot of issues. It'd pretty much give them an AO rating rather than M and screw them entirely. Maybe less so with GTA these days given its popularity, but it's easier to just not do it and move on.

Feminists control the online discourse in the West and they hate children, specially female.
>>
>>740005470
Like I said, I agree, they're teenagers, but I can see the argument for it at the very least. Hell I remember when I was 13, I was very different at 15, and even 17. By this point I'm still very different. I'm the same as well, but I get it. Just one of those cultural things. Like the earlier example of Islamic countries, they'd probably have children you could marry if the rating didn't get an AO, women completely covered or removed entirely, etc. Compare that to America where AOC is 18, or in Albania where it's 14, or Britain 16. It's just a thing, not much else about it really.

No, but it wouldn't surprise me. I remember there being a big thing about Denmark like 10 years ago where Beastiality was still legal and had an entire like tourist industry because of it. Europe in general doesn't care about sex in games really, it's more you can fuck whatever you want, but the moment someone's arm gets cut off, that's a no-no, too violent and extreme.

Japan had a similar problem in the 90s, there were tons of violence with younger people due to the collapsing economy and people imitating anime, it's why a lot of blood and stuff got removed (DBZ is a good example, we never see Goku get a hole blasted through him anymore despite beams going through him, even when they redo him vs. Raditz). They just stop wanting gore/violence on those levels, it's such a weird arbitrary thing considering the stuff they still make.

Culture and contradictions are fun.

I've played a few myself, but it's mostly just with friends and I doing fantasy drafts and little franchises for like a month and then never play again for another 4-5 years. They're good in spades or when you're just feeling that itch, at least I think so. But EA is definitely predatory as fuck with a ton of stuff in those games, and it's gotten real bad. Especially FIFA, Europeans would gladly blow their entire annual salary just to get Messi on their team, wild.
>>
>>740006107
Yeah they banned it in like 2015/16 because of international pressure and because neighboring countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, etc. started banning it.

Maybe not from a design perspective but in terms of sales animal crossing is the most notable vidya example
It hurts me to say this but animal crossing has only sold more and more with each passing entry because the new female producers make it more of a dollhouse rather than a community life sim, which is good if youre a casual gamer who wants to play dress up and decorate, less good if youre a hardcore gamer interested in playing an artistic life sim
Look at this ancient interview by the guy who originally made the series, the design difference between dobutsu no mori on n64/gamecube and modern animal crossing is night and day

that's the conclusion I came to from just playing the game blind. I wound up watching the american krogan videos months later and agreed with his take on infinite (because his video was just restating the things I already believed) and hard disagreed with his video on bioshock 1.
I actually have no idea how to interpret the ending of infinite as saying anything other than that white oppression of minorities is uniquely uncaused evil and suicide is the only way to prevent it.
The game had a very easy pathway to have booker and elizabeth redeem themselves without suicide: have booker and elizabeth actually join the vox and defeat comstock. Just do basic bitch steampunk star wars where booker overcomes his potential for evil and instead does good. The game even pretends like this is what its doing until it flips the script and becomes entirely about quantum time travel magical bullshit and then ends with elizabeth killing booker.

but their evil is caused.
That's my issue with connecting infinite to bioshock 1. Bioshock 1 is a story that traces the heritage of evil from one event and generation to another, and about breaking the "great chain" of trauma-induced oppression.
American krogan is correct about one thing: bioshock 1 has a two-tiered interpretation. The basic bitch interpretation is that the game is about lolberts being hyppocrits when the chips are down. The deeper interpretation is that the objectivism of Ryan is simply a trauma-reponse from being persecuted by the soviets. Tenenbaum mutilating children is a trauma-response to being the jewish servant of josef mengele during the holocaust. Evil is self-causing. It is inflicted on you without your consent, but it is your responsibility to rid yourself of it, like original sin. It's not fair, and it's not easy, but it can be done as with tenenbaum and good-ending jack. Andrew RYan himself could have been redeemed but chose not to out of fear.
Infinite is so interesting because it creates a white, non-jewish analog for andrew ryan, but then goes out of its way to say that (1) his capacity for evil is uncaused (unless you count self-inflicted PTSD as a cause, but that's incredibly weak) and (2) his capacity for evil is so great such that he cannot ever be redeemed except through making it as though he never existed.

None of the BioShock games are that deep. The first game is a generic story about hubris, and Infinite makes less and less sense the more you look at it. BioShock 2 is also contradictory to your thesis.

I don't think that anything I'm saying is particularly deep or beyond the intended scope of 1 and infinite.
If a guy went up to someone and shot them to death for no reason, we would say that was evil and unjustified. However, if a guy goes up to another person and brandishes a gun at them and threatens to kill them and the person acts in self-defense and kills the guy, that would be justified and considered decidedly not evil.
That's all that's going on in infinite. Comstock and Fink and the rest of the white society brutalize minorities just because. Minorities brutalize fink, and the white society because they're getting retribution for what was done to them.
There's nothing deep about that, that's just intuitive.
>>
>>740004351
Don't care about your stupid question, I just finished Infinite for the first time and want to blogpost.
Great gameplay and amazing art, I enjoyed all the characters. The story itself is just fucking terrible though, I was laughing at the ending. Seriously what were thinking?
The level design also nosedives in the second half, and the early levels weren't even that good to begin with. Most of the game feels like a shooting gallery.
>>
>>740012684
Oh, and it was really strange how the game totally forgot about Songbird for hours and hours before suddenly rushing this emotional moment at the end. I was like what the fuck? Why didn't it get more time in the Shantytown and Fink section? Then that final Vox gauntlet on the airship would have been more impactful.

Male feminists are so creepy. They pretend to be decent men and then they say horrible, horrible, horrible things about any woman who's pro-life. They well and truly disgust me.

The amount of modern men who virtue signal, soften their stance on sensitive topics, or otherwise default to liberal opinion in the hope of being seen as a "safe" partner is genuinely pathetic. If you authentically feel that way, fair enough, but I'm willing to bet that most of them are pretending.

Everyone's is.
>That's my issue with connecting infinite to bioshock 1.
Its a 5 game series. Its your own fault. >Bioshock 1 is a story that traces the heritage of evil from one event and generation to another, and about breaking the "great chain" of trauma-induced oppression.
>American krogan is correct about one thing: bioshock 1 has a two-tiered interpretation. The basic bitch interpretation is that the game is about lolberts being hyppocrits when the chips are down. The deeper interpretation is that the objectivism of Ryan is simply a trauma-reponse from being persecuted by the soviets. Tenenbaum mutilating children is a trauma-response to being the jewish servant of josef mengele during the holocaust. Evil is self-causing. It is inflicted on you without your consent, but it is your responsibility to rid yourself of it, like original sin. It's not fair, and it's not easy, but it can be done as with tenenbaum and good-ending jack. Andrew RYan himself could have been redeemed but chose not to out of fear.

This is extremely midwitted shit that makes a LOT of assumptions, and is more of an essay on your iwn moral worldvuew

Infinite is about Booker being trapped in purgatory. When you get a game over you see him "reset" from his office as he steps out and (presumably) is shot dead for not paying back the money. I have no clue how and why this flies over the heads of so many people, the entire game is his own personal hell on a figurative level too. It seems to me a lot of people only pay attention to the explicit "told" story - the words you read and hear, rather than the subtextual "shown" story.

Combination of ratings board differences and different genre appeal. ESRB bumps you for things specifically happening to children- hence games that do include them like Bethesda's Fallout being so mechanically weird around them- where CERO doesn't because they're harsh enough to bump you on things like violence in the first place. America also generally doesn't make games that don't involve violent scenarios, so there's little space for equivalents to fluffy Japanese stuff like Splatoon.
>>
>>740004351
Western kids want to be adults so the characters in their games are either adults or kids who act like adults.
Western adult gamers are either ball N gun dudebros or D&D autists, neither genre benefiting from having child characters.
The specific type of slice-of-life narrative where child characters are important is usually found in VNs and JRPGs, neither of which is popular in the West.

tl;dr he fucking hated this cult. He wanted to kill the whole Moon family but figured it'd be unrealistic to wipe them out. Abe was one of their sympathisers (for some reason) and so Yamagami targeted him instead.
On a side not he was likely a Silent Hill fan.

Westerners have been conditioned by their jewish overlords to look at children and IMMEDIATELY think of pedophilia, while the rest of the world is normal and acknowledges children can exist in fiction without it having to be about child rape. It's so bad that ADULT WOMEN OVER THE AGE OF 20 who have physical small petite bodies are often accused of only obtaining male partners because they satisfy pedophilic urges. You have no clue how deep the mental illness goes. Of course, the government officials that run western countries all practice actual real life pedophilia on real children but society would much rather let them do that and argue on twitter about fictional characters instead.
>>
>>740039346
That's because they're projecting. All western govs are filled with child rapists, and if you don't think of rape when talking about children you're the anomaly.

"Shock game" just means system shock and bioshock. It's not really a term since it's just lump together 2 fairly diffrent series together.
>>740044441
The actual genre is immersive sim which bioshock barely qualifies for. The actual definition from Ken Levine is a game with systems that allow for "emergent gameplay", basically having tools to deal with problems and the game not arbitrarily forcing to deal with those problems in a specific way. In reality it usually just means an action game with rpg mechanics and a stealth system that doesn't stop you from climbing a fence with a stack of soda cans.

>System shock is a pair of open dungeon crawling shooters with 2 having a a full rpgs system.
They do not have rpg systems. They have player builds. This is not an rpg.
>dungeon crawlers
You clearly donn't know what that is.

>Bioshock is a level based shooter with semi open levels and small rpg elements
Bioshock is a worldspace focused shooter with an emphasis on player builds and narrative. Like SS.

>There is not narrative connection
Yes there are.
>and are completely separate franchises
Nope.

Actually I prefer SSR, but hey, keep being a disingenous faggot.
It's serving you well lmao

All of those points apply to Red Faction and Saints Row. I don't think you know what a series is. Bioshock doesn't even have Shock as it's own word like System Shock does

You're denying reality and its genuinely sad to watch

A 'space' is all you have left?
Your last remaing argument is a 'space'?
Damn.

Bioshock (the whole series) is mid as fuck but the idea that Prey is a shock game is pure delusion and retarded. They aren't even immsims.

Thank you, holy shit

The citadel has the exact same level structure as ultima underworld.
You are dumb
>>
>>740056982
And? Doesn't make System Shock a dungeon crawler, are you high?
>>
>>740057049
System shock is closer to ultima underworld then it is bioshock.
Maybe I should start calling ultima a shock game.
>>
>>740057306
Sheer delusion.
If my mother had a door she would have been a microwave.
>>
>>740057401
System shock was literally to ultima underworld what bioshock was to system shock. Sames dev taking a concept to a radically new setting with the same gameplay philosophies

Bump

I can't look at Bioshock the same ever since I have been redpilled

The extreme shizo reaching of American Krogan is hilarious

You collect audio logs and do cool shit with your left hand while shooting with your right in a supernatural sci fi environment.

That's enough for me to call it a shock game desu
>>
>>740061284
Fair fair.
Shock-like imo.
"Shock game" refers to the shared Shock universe of games.

Thanks for the rec tho. I hadn't heard of it.

Oh christ I'm not ready for people to start arguing the fine differences between shock-likes and shock-lites

She became anorexic and doesn't look so good anymore..

>>740062439
What about Shock lights?

>>740062439
That's a rogue only thing, no one has ever said "soulslites"
>>
>>740063690

I just said it to my wife.
Now what?
