Same reason it's so good at art that the west has spent the last decades trying & failing to copy it.
Japan is an ideologically freer nation. That's simply it. Censorship and repression (like that which comes from western Judeo-christian control, or western megacorporations) has serious, permanent effects on the human psyche. It's why China and its 1.4 billion minds can't think up an original idea.
japan actually likes video games. they see video games as a medium worth making and playing.
the west views video games as the most lowbrow form of entertainment. video games are the backup plan for failed hacks who would rather be making movies.
They're based.
Even today, their target audience is people playing videogames.
Japan made playstation ludo
America made xbox trash
Enough said.
imagine being this retarded. Witcher 3 is highly overrated.
It's funny how people claim they aren't creative when they clearly are. They're the only Asians capable of creativity.
Before the US castrated them during WW2, the japs only knew one thing, war and conquest. Being denied the ability to wage war lead the japs to pursue other means of spending their time like anime, video games, building cars and tech etc.
Compared to Americans who are completely lacking in originality and creativity. Half their "rpgs" are ripping off British settings and stories.
thats not true, censorship in japan and the rest of the world has been growing. Its sad because the world wants us to stop using it and not grow stronger
and that's why we have changed. its great that we are trying to change this.there's so many people in life wanting to change the world now so we are trying to change it.
Are you ESL, or mildly retarded?

Here's your (You) retard
Literally just money
The economic boom of 80s made Japan the richest country in the world by far compared to any other country for a decade.
The influx of infinite cash allowed them to develop the infrastructure and technique for making good games.
This is why you see a slow decline of qualiyt in Japanese culture (JPOP killed by KPOP, Japanese cinema dead, etc). The standard is pretty high since they have the high quailty infrastructure but they just don't have enough money now to make it as quality as before.
Japan really wasn't that interesting before WW2, it was highly barbaric and uncultured, the modernization reform after WW2 then the massive influx of cash made them highly advanced, which is slowly fading away but still apparent
Yes, Japs are cultured like that. Would everything being in feudal Japan be original enough for you?
>Jap devs all praise Rockstar, and GTA. a single dev in the west and hold it as the gold standard for vidya.
lol
english is not my first language but a lot of other people speak english and it is pretty easy to learn english if you learn it in a few weeks (and yes your brain is smart you are learning english without much effort on your part)
>le medieval detective man walking simulator with a 100 gorillion dollar budget is a perfect game
It's good, especially compared to the previous witcher titles, which were all shit, but it's not a 10/10 masterpiece like Yea Forums pretends.
Pic related sums it up pretty well.
You play jap games for the soft core porn?
Too bad that Yea Forums hates big tiddies (which nintendo censors) then sharts their pants in anger when based sony censors paedo crap
>the country that self-hating weebs claim is inferior was directly involved in the events that led to their favorite things being created
Another victory for America
They don't listen to women
This is obviously just shitposting but things were not always the way they were now. Quality was the thing to strive for in both the Japanese and Western video game industry for a long time, it only changed when shitty practices and corporations got too invoked.
>Slavs are better
No it wasn't. Westerners have long made inferior games to the Japanese. While Japan was creating legendary games, franchises and hardware in the 80's and 90's, the West was churning about shitty movie licensed games, educational games and rip-offs of established Japanese games.
The West was out of the game for so long because it was getting thoroughly dominated by the Japanese industry.
japs make things they think will be fun
even when it comes out janky or cringe it has soul
everyone else too busy virtue signalling
I know second line is half buzzwords but it feels true enough
>it feels true enough
Yea Forums insights into the industry in a nutshell.
Western video games were more aimed at niche audiences such as tabletop RPG players or PC gamers which were Niche in the 80's and 90's.
Japanese games had a lot more all ages and mass market appeal and thats why they became more widespread and more cherished, not to mention the Western market never really bothered to make a console to compete with Nintendo or Sega after Atari's fuck ups.
Its not fair to discount all the non console western classics due to a bunch of LJN movie tie in games that came out during that time just because Japan focused on the mass market appeal of consoles.
yeah, all these awesome japanese strategy games. these guys are fucking geniuses and not just autistic moe skinner box creators
Based
anime is just a copy of disney though.
Hmmm, but I wondered... just how true was this?

>Why is Japan so good at making games?
You do know Japan is getting their asses kicked, right? Apart from Nintendo they all get shitty sales unless they outsource to a western dev.
Isn't Playstation pretty much held up by western games? sony also would've been on the verge of bankruptcy without the success of playstation since none of their other products are doing well.
>a country where you can publish 200 pages lolicon porn magazine
It's because they have more creativity freedom.
Yeah, Disney makes animation about giant robots fighting each other.
I don’t know how they, the US, and the UK got to be the biggest game makers at all
But they are, and I’m thankful
But honestly, is there a country that hasn’t made any good games at all? For the sake of concise answering, we’ll say “good” is a mixture of sales and following.
Even China's managed to churn out a few okay indie games.
North Korea and most of the Middle-East and Africa haven't put out anything of note afaik
We're talking about animation style though not genre.
symbolism and nationalism
there is no jewish resentment
When reality reeeeeeeeeaaaally suck, you end up getting good a dodging it
