Do you think Japanese games or Western (American) games are generally better? What in particular do you think makes them better in general?
I think Japanese games have historically been inspired by traditional games where American games are more inspired by movies and sports. They align very commonly but I prefer the traditional inspiration.

I like Japanese games more because they have cute girls, they have fun and original plot ideas, and they're not about identity politics or other stuff I don't really care about

Overcompensating because the countries are full of ugly people

Enjoy while it lasts

Tracer is most attractive.

But there's also a rule 34 pic of her tied up getting two dicks crammed in her ass that I really like, so maybe that's making me biased.

In PS1 era and before Japanese games were better, in PS2 games it was a mix, and maybe for a brief period American/European games were better, and now Japanese games are better again.

That said my favorite games of all time are mostly non-japanese.

there's just more quality and attention to detail with japanese games. you can tell japanese developers love their job. but western developers are just there for the pay check.

The west used to make good games, there are couple of time periods where western games were better than what japan produced.

I think overall the problem is politics in the west rather than greed. The competent guys all got replaced and those that survived got pozzed.

Gen 7 was so bad for Japan

Money isn't an issue in the west anymore, especially now that there's an abundance of it concentrated in a few people.
We have multibillion dollar corporations throwing away money at projects doomed to fail because the politics of these productions lines up with their own. Ideological grandstanding is more important to these people now. A similar example of this happening are the wars of religion financed by the Vatican hundreds of years ago. There was no monetary value or gain to be had from these expensive wars, but none of that mattered because ideology trumps economics.

This is why lolbertarians need to shut the fuck up with this 'the market will correct itself' talking point. The market doesn't matter anymore, especially when the people at the top of the market have so much 'fuck you' money that they can spend it on Gone Home-tier propaganda without consequence.

Western AAA has fallen off in the last decade while Japanese AAA has been okay. However the western indie/smaller studio scene is as good as ever. Yea Forums thinks all western games are bad because this place is full of consolefags who only play AAA titles

I tend to prefer Western games because I enjoy
>open worlds
>shooting
>driving
>graphics

please don't compare us to western subhumans cucks

>they have fun and original plot ideas
Kek.

i didn't, though. you're only geographically european. otherwise you're just a surrogate roachmutt slavo-turkish rapebaby

We need to create a flag to separate the post-soviet world from the western european world.

There are some Western developers I really like, but as a general statement, I like Japanese developers much more. They don't make movie games/walking simulators, and seem to not take themselves overly seriously like most Western developers, they make it about fun. Also, a lot of shit like microtransactions, unfinished games, etc are the fault of Western developers.

>and seem to not take themselves overly seriously like most Western developers
Is this a serious statement?
Japanese people literally create celebrity cultures surrounding their famous developers, and the amount of work hours they put into the creation of their games puts the west to shame.

>They don't make movie games/walking simulators
yeah they make gorillions of shovelware VN nonvideogames.

The games themselves don't feel like they take themselves too seriously, not the people. Maybe I worded it wrong, but compare a game like TLOU which is considered a pretentious walking simulator, to a game like Mario which is just just plain fun, or even a game like DMC which is loaded with over the top cheese. Not criticizing DMC, it's one of my favorite game series ever.

I think both are about equal
they both screw me over with dlc anti consumer bullshit and panders to shit i don't like

I don't care about japanese games because of the waifu pandering, the stupid stories and wacky characters. Call me whatever you want but I like believable stories even fantasy and science-fiction stories and settings need to follow a certain set of logic.

god damn and here i was thinking that Poland was in the EU .

You could source that m8

Tracer was made by a Chinese modeler bro. Here's a more relevant, high budgeted and highly anticipated character compared to a AA Japanese game.

Japanese are better, because they are not scared to experiment with complex gameplay mechanics in AAA.
