It's 2019

Why the fuck can't western devs make good combat systems yet?

Fun fact: I made this image 6 or so years ago, and the only thing I'd change now is replacing God of War with the new one because I just didn't know how good we had it back then

yeah
lets not focus on fighting games or anything that requires in depth fighting mechanics
lets also generalize literally all games based on where they come from
man
why dont japs man up and finally do something about mechanical depth of visual novels

Different priorities, I guess. I think all those games are good for different reasons, but Japanese games tend to stick with me more because most their memorable moments come from something you did rather than something you watched. It also helps that they tend to lend themselves to being replayed over and over.

I’ve played every game on this list and liked all of them, just don’t tell god hand I said that.

Why the fuck can't Japanese devs write compelling stories yet?

>every game is 3rd person action game (and 1 FPS, WTF is it even doing there)?

Why not make a more even-handed comparison across a variety of genres?

god fucking damit thats the problem with this "japs vs crackers" mentality
all you fuckers do is sum up shit with funny meme words and shitfling
i cant imagine the embarrassment of being you people

HL2 is one of the worst FPSes

Also based Max Payne

And despite all that, those Japanese games are more fondly remembered. Hollow Knight, while vastly more popular than Okami, has completely forgettable music and gameplay equivalent to something you'd find on Newgrounds.

I like all of those except gow and souls

>HL2 is one of the worst FPSes
It is, but what is it doing in that image, which consists eentirely of 3rd person action games?

In fact, it undermines the point the OP was making, since it implies the OP could only find 3 bad western 3rd person action games (2 of which are from the same series, the batman arkham games).

cringe

>comparing the best japanese action games to the worst western action games
>so desperate for examples of bad western action games that two of them are from the same series (rocksteady's batman)
>so deperate for examples of bad western action games that it includes half-life 2, a game from an entirely different genre

come to think of it that really is pathetic

>Fun fact: I was a cringerlord baiter 6 years ago.

western too

It would be too "video gamey".

That was a quote on why Mass Effect 3 had no final boss against The Illusive Man.

>wrpg fanboy cherrpicking and lying
0/10

>Japanese games
>deep and challenging

lol I beat those shit games by just mashing attack

Except demons souls, I roll and then hit and roll then hit then roll and guess what I did next!
