Anyone remember that time when /pol/ was butthurt that CDPR was adding black people to some Witcher 3 expansion?

Replace Mechanics with Graphics and Story with Fan Service and we're golden

I'm under no obligation to support lazy, cheap or boring shit that costs that much fucking money. Make the game worth my time and I'll buy it.
Journo scores and critical praise don't work since the second I see you have sliding melee attacks I've already decided to not buy the game.
If its shit I'm not supporting it, fuck you if you think I should.

Ubisoft are leafs... or French, it depends on the weather. People keep forgetting that.

Kek

>East = Story
Kinda, but I would say their strength is more about themes, artistic vision and general creativity.

i want someone to name me a japanese game with a good story that came out in the past 50 years

West just takes mechanics from the Japanese and refine them, then break them down into something unrecognizable over time. Casuals eat that shit up the. Spout about how innovative the west is. The only original things the west does is FPS, Sports games, and cRPGS.

West = Graphics, Coding, Advertising

East = Art, Story, Mechanics

They both have shitty DLC/monetizing practices so I'm not including that

>West just takes mechanics from the Japanese and refine them
so your basically admitting that the west takes what the japanese does and makes it better? kek

this is probably the most correct one. music is kind of hit or miss regardless so it doesn't fall into either category.

>Samus as a distressed American symbol.

hmmmmmmmmm

west + east = BFF

Here's also admitting that they turn them to shit after a while.
>then break them down into something unrecognizable over time

Wouldn't it be crazy if she's fulfilling the role of a distressed French symbol

Fuck that, japs advertise games way better than the west since they actually ADVERTISE the game and it's features rather than prerendered cinematic bullshit that shoots the franchise's own foot and kills it's reputation/longevity
Case study, guess which one's from the west and the east:
youtube.com/watch?v=o31HyrM9f6U
youtube.com/watch?v=OCRRH1DMpPM

dont assume genders.

But the Japanese took the basic concepts of video games from the west to begin with

and they made them better, like everything else japan takes from the west

west = player freedom
east = tightly regulated "PLAY MY ANIME STORY!" trash

west is best

delete this kiddo

West has zero mechanics/gameplay whatsoever

fpbp

Japanese developers couldn't write their way out of a damp paper bag.

East = gameplay and story
West = diversity and first person multiplayer

Name a single mechanically good Japanese FPS game.

Who cares, Japan is just a puppet state of America anyway.

>west = tightly regulated "PLAY MY CINEMATIC STORY" trash
>east = tightly regulated "PLAY MY ANIME STORY!" trash
Modernized.

West = Shitty Movies
East = Video Games

>>west = tightly regulated "PLAY MY CINEMATIC STORY" trash
Have you never played a Ubisoft game in your entire life?

Japanese developers are the ones who make games with cutscenes that go on and on and on, though. Japanese games are basically playable movies, while western games focus on game mechanics and player freedom.

Not anymore, sweaty.

Name a single Japanese open world game that can compete with Far Cry 5 or Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.

Ohohoho.. that was a good one. Video games originated in west(USA) first, no matter how much you hate it, if somebody is imitating somebody, its Japan imitating west.

western games focus on homoerotica and cultural cancer

No, because open world games are all shit, including your trash examples

The Last of Us and God of War were better movies than MGS4 and KH3

America is failing as a country because of idiots like you that will support anything, regardless of how shit it is, simply because it is "American". You can't improve if you refuse to acknowledge your problems.

>western movies are better than Jap movies

No shit. Only the weebest of weeb retards would ever think otherwise.

>No, because open world games are all shit, including your trash examples
It's okay. One day Japanese developers will learn how to make open world games that aren't terrible. Also, one day they'll finally, finally learn to make a game that can compete with Deus Ex from 2000.

>deus ex
not open world
>open world games that aren't terrible
actually impossible, as western devs continue to prove

Name a Japanese-made RPG that can compete with KOTOR or Mass Effect or Dragon Age or Deus Ex or VTMB or basically anything that's an actual RPG.

They never said Deus Ex was open world. Merely that Japanese devs suck at open world games and also suck at immersive sims. They especially suck at creating first person immersive sim experiences.

east makes a handful of bad games, west makes a handful of good ones

Dragons dogma. Next.

The Japanese have always taken what the West did and made it better, that's why we have jap vidya and anime to begin with. And that's a GOOD thing. Best colony we ever created.

uh, most JRPGs lol

JRPGs are not RPGs.

wrong person brah

Dragon's Dogma is a technical joke, with an empty open world. Notice how Japanese developers struggle to create living, breathing worlds so they create these empty landscapes? MGS V is a good example of this.

All open world games are terrible.

I play Bayonetta, watch dogs, street fighter 2, call of duty ghost, sonic transformed, and dragon ball fighterz.

Is there a good Japanise shooter (besides arguably splatoon)?

Zoomer

STALKER is a masterpiece, and exactly the kind of game Japanese studios are incapable of making.

Dragon's Dogma is a mess of mechanics stolen from western games and then poorly implemented. As an RPG the only thing that doesn't suck about it is the combat but that gets old quick because it's pretty shallow. People like to show off flashy animations in webms from the game but it's all just smoke and mirrors around something that isn't actually all that compelling to play.

>The Japanese have always taken what the West did and made it better
Why is Metal Gear Solid V a bad version of Splinter Cell, then?

Gal Gun.

>buggy slavshit
ive played through CoP several times and the main quest always bugs at some point (usually once you get the rail gun)

Stalker is far from a masterpiece, and it isn't a western game

Are Far Cry and Crysis western? Where does Turkey and Germany fall on this scale?

>Stalker is far from a masterpiece
It's a literal masterpiece.

West = graphics, optimization
Japan = everything else
Korea = graphics, nothing else

That looks about right. There was a time when the West excelled in other areas, but every good Western developer died off a long time ago.

Name two (2) Japanese games from the last five years with a good story. I'll even help you out, one of them is Nier: Automata.

based

NieR: Automata has the typically Japanese problem where its narrative is riddled with holes and the events of the plot don't really make sense. They're a series of contrived narrative beats designed to service character melodrama and twists for the sake of twists, which Japanese writers historically mistake for character development.

All that's true. And it's still head and shoulders above basically any other recent Japanese game in terms of story.

So much this

Attached: IMG_20190424_104024_973.jpg (784x1024, 98K)

This is cherry picked as fuck,all the japanese characters are decades old while the western ones are the recent ones everyone hate.

Why dont you put in western classics aswell you monkey?
Lara Croft,Spyro,Doomguy and more

Can you?

Gothic 1 and 2 did it well.

Vanquish

finally someone said it

fpbp like always

Cuphead.

West = Graphic
East = Everything else

Funny because Cuphead is better than most Japanese games I've played this year. Surely better than KH3 and DMCV.

Japanese games can be grossly overrated, which is the case of those two FOTM games.
Not to even talk about RE2 because it's a third person shooter with a camera over the shoulder... Gears of War did that much better.

>RPGs are not RPGs
Every time

But they are

Speaking of indies I think the west has been killing it for a long time now.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is such a good game right my dude? How many dildos do you keep inside your closet?

Such a good story, not even the deva understand it.

Youtubers make more sense of it than Miyazaki does.

>america is failing as a country

yikes, not currently senpai. We're doing great and the whole world is kinda starting to crumble around us.

u got baited lmfao. Japs can't make good stories to save their lives, they're only really good if you don't want something that won't make you think too much.

Imagine saying Japan makes better games than the west because of KH3, DMCV, RE2 remake and Ace Combat.

How much brain damage one can be

Bases

>dakr souls

>Dark Souls
>good story

>Miyazaki also said he needs to get better at communicating the story of his games to the team, who often don’t understand the overall plot of the games they’re working on.
The people who work on the Souls games and who write the dialogue and item descriptions don't even know what it's about, they are literally just making shit up as they go along. You can even see this in how the story develops through the series, e.g. what being a Hollow entails is completely different in every game:
DS1 - You become completely mindless, only retaining some basic function you held in life. Is triggered by the "real death".
DS2 - Overcomes you over time, like a disease.
DS3 - You can be completely hollow and still retain your sanity and intelligence. They have an entire kingdom.

>Consumers prefering the supperior product has destroyed the U.S.
No, the U.S. not producing anything worth buying has destroed the U.S.

I'm as partiotic, as the next guy, butI 'm not gonna pretend to love a piece of shit, just because it has made in the U.S.A. stamped on it.

This is a problem that starts at the top. Tell our state funded universities that they cannot eductae people who are going to take that education to a foreign country as soon as they graduate, and tell our videogame consumer funded videogame companies to start producing games, stop shittong out cinematic visual novels.

The fact of the matter is, you are a part of the problem too. The fact that you don't demand a higher quality product from western devs, and are willing to buy any well advertized piece of shit they crap out, is why American products are the laughing stock of the world today. In the 50's American's demanded nothing but the best from our manufacturures, and they got it. then retards like you came along, and were willing to settle for less, and now the cars are made of plastic, the food is made of poison, the money is backed by paper, women are expected to work because it takes TWO salaries to buy ONE house now, we have to pay taxes on our income so kids in Africa don't get ebola and so military contractors can buy a fifth home, and to top it all off the video games we produce are just poorly animated movies.

So you'll have to excuse me if it seems like I'm not chomping at the bit to support American buisiness, and the U.S. government lately.

Low IQ, low quality individual's like yourself have been the downfall of this country, as both voters, and as consumers. Just about the only aspect of this country left that I don't hate is the constitution, and if the millenial's get their way that will be gone too in another decade or two.

The problem with America is not that the people aren't nationalistic anymore, it's that America isn't a great nation anymore.

Everything western is half assed these days. Old Disney animation can definitely still hold's its own against anime, but recent stuff is just low effort trash.
