What's the obsession?
Japan
They make the best video games and, if you look past all the thinly veiled porn and pol threads, this is a video games board. Not so hard to understand.
They are the only country that makes games that aren't realistic garbage. Nobody cares about 90s Western games because they all aged like uttery trash & need 100 of mods to even be playable. The highest rated game in every genre is Japanese
Cool and thanks
Shooters and Sports games. Checkmate atheist
They make good media and good video games that nobody else in the world replicates. Their culture gives way to cool media and that's about it.
It's called brainwashing.
Millennials were brainwashed by Japanese media, zoomers are brainwashed by Jewish media much like their grandparents.
A lot of inceltypes point to them and circlejerk how they're the only ones making sexy characters anymore(not true) and a lot of these people lurk here, you dont hear much praise for anything besides muh anime tiddies when it comes to japan games
What are you, a fucking casual?
yes, obviously. if you consider yourself a hardcore gamer then you need to reevaluate your life
The highest rated FPS game is Metroid Prime, which is a Nintendo game
Sports games were never good
>Shooters
Dime and dozen, also not much variation. Was it last year or the year before where E3 was just filled with zombie surival games?
>Sports
Fifa20 or whatever sure looks exciting. Not to mention casino NBA 2k20.
>JRPGs praised and actually still alive unlike WRPGs
>Character action games single handedly kept alive by Platinum Games with some DMC in-between
>Souls games are popular and praised, whether you like it or not
>Whatever Nintendo puts out at the moment, including Smash and Mario Kart
have this (you)
what about RTS games? grand strategies?
>it doesn't count because i don't like them
shit how can weebs be so braindead and see the positive points of superior euro games?
metroid prime is a shooter for people who hate shooters. it might be a good game (I personalky think it's shit) but it is not a good fps game
What obsession? The Japanese are fucking hacks and their best upcoming games are movies
Highest rated Strategy game according to both User reviews & critic reviews is Fire Emblem 3 Houses
Loneliness
>Dime and dozen
absolutely retarded opinion. There is such a huge difference between games like FEAR, STALKER and Hidden and Dangerous 2, but weebs don't know shit about gaming outside of Ninty exclusives and persona.
Cope more contrarian, nobody cares what you think. The 2nd highest rated shooter is GoldenEye 007, followed by Perfect Dark. So either way Nintendo wins.
> Huge difference between literal who buggy pieces of shit that nobody cares about like FEAR, Stalker & Dangerous 2 and acclaimed masterpieces like Bioshock, Metroid Prime, GoldenEye & Half-Life 2 that everyone except the contrarian minority on Yea Forums agrees is amazing
I agree
What the fuck kind of question is this?
Seriously? It's just retarded shitposting. Stop it.
I didn't say, they're bad, just that they don't have much variation. Granted I'm not into shooter and the only ones I've played for a while were tf2 and Halo, but nevertheless most of them qualify as "realistic garbage".
So? Some like shooters, others like JRPGs. Put enough people in a room (or on a board) and you'll see groups forming.
It's perceived as an exotic, foreign land that produces virtual toys and escapist entertainment to mindlessly consume
Haven't been ruined by shit skins yet. Only place in the world I enjoy vacationing anymore.
lmao thanks for proving my point. you have no idea what you are talking about if you think goldeneye deserves the 2nd spot, especially in front of perfect dark. it has aged like dogshit. you got your list from a group of people who have never played anything outside of a nintendo console
>tactical role-playing game
>rts
>grand strategy
Anyone that likes JRPGs should honestly just go watch anime instead.
It's time to stop Beepzorz.
You can go to a train station and the train will be there when it's supposed to be
Nobody cares contrarian, continue crying & seething that nobody cares about your literal who garbage except a niche echochamber
literally every acclaimed "masterpiece" you listed is garbage aside from Half Life 2 and it's especially hilarious you chose Bioshock as an example as even Bioshock fanboys admit the gameplay sucks dick and they only like it for the story. time to face the fact that your taste is shit and unrefined
ok i tried metacritic rts, no nip games at the top
I'm not even being the contrarian here. nobody who takes shooters seriously would rank metroid and goldeneye in their top 3, nobody.
>aha one genre where glorious japan is not superior
Clap for the American everyone, he won one
But I can't interact with anime
Contrarians on Yea Forums would
girlfriend simulators
They always made the best games,a lot of zoomers woke up a bit recently and realized that there is no reason to worship western shovelware anymore.
Even the genres where the west would usually excel (RTS,Grand Strategy and FPS) are either dead or have nothing of value anymore.
> Bbbbbut it's popular & people like it so it's bad & not "Refined" like me and my few contrarian friends on Yea Forums who also love the same games that i just cried about instead of niche pieces of shit
They make the best movies*
you couldn't even stutter post correctly. Try lurking a little more before embarrassing yourself
I dont even like japan or their people but they do make good games
why do you capitalise the second sentence but not the first?
anime girls and pussey get some lean over the counter bro
Because i do not Reddit Capitalize
so ronery
I'm talking about Japan not the west buddy,the west had its short golden age around 2000 and then went back to being a distant second.
The west has made more Top rated games then any jap studio. Name 3 top rated japanese game without listing low effort tiddie anime and nintendie shovelware garbage
Ocarina of Time, mario galaxy 1&2
What do I win?
top rated by who? Their journalist butt buddies?
I already said that some zoomers are starting to realize that western shovelware is not as good as their massive marketing campaigns would want them to believe,you should get a clue too.
>listed nintendie shovelware garbage
maybe i should have written this in bug
>user doesn't know what shovelware means
Imagine my shock.
country famous for selling the exact same games to westcucks for 40 years, that and their RPGs are all the same shit set in the same location with the same stories and the same MC + any party memebers
Real answer is that Japan is incredibly right–wing, and this resonates with a lot of the nerds on this board. Me included
DMC3-5, pick your favourite
MGS3-5, same
Some Souls game
Something from Platinum Games
Some SMT
Chrono Trigger, FF6, Skies of Arcadia
>Actually makes games people will like
>Caters to dedicated fans
>If enough fans are upset with something they will fix it
>Has attractive females and male to appeal to everyone
>pays talented musicians to make legendary osts
>Hires only the best of the best voice actors
>Stories always catch your attention and always leaves you in awe
>Philosophy and metaphors all used heavily
>Characters are never flat unless its a cute girl
>2 games will never look the same
>Gameplay is usually good too
Prove me wrong on any of these
You can't
>if you look past all the thinly veiled porn and pol threads, this is a video games board
Topkek this is my personal shitpost board/(you) farm. Video games can fuck off for all I care.
its hardly right wing in a american scene
japan is pretty liberal on gay rights and women and has many socal programs
they dont let in immigrants but that is a right wing idea anyway
games will never look the same
Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5
lol btfo faggot get off this board TRANNY
>>Stories always catch your attention and always leaves you in awe
Mario Bros is the pinnacle of story telling I know
>>Philosophy and metaphors all used heavily
Not always a good thing
>>Characters are never flat unless its a cute girl
LOLWAT
1. pokemon
2.pokemon
3. Pokemon
7. Their are a ton of examples but i will go with Persona 4 to prove you wrong
8. technically true if you do not mind babies first philosophy course
9. If you mean personality wise i suggest you look towards many Jrpgs, if bust size then that 10,000 year old demon/dragon/any excuse to sexualize a 10yr old
Cope more, you can count the amount of Western games on one hand. But sure continue crying that "It doesn't count"
it's a weird, insular country that makes fairly unique content due to being weird and insular
Also by flat I mean personality but threw in a flat joke.
PES is made in Japan, right?
Prime was developed by a studio in Texas.
not him but i literally had to look up what PES was, i had never heard of it
It's like FIFA for people who think Konami is a lesser evil to EA.
They make some good anime once in a while and some decent games. The weebs are just weebs
I like them because their games are usually good and they trigger resetera by putting attractive actual women in their games.
is my peanus weanus off course
haha my peanus weanus
This thread is shit.
yeah no duh, most thinly veiled america hate threads are shit
>that has his soul binded to a mecha
spoilers you fucking dolt
is literaly in the reveal trailer for the fucking game
>preach capitalism
>get mad when people choose to consume other country's media instead of yours
Pottery
It has nothing to do with hatred by the way. Grow some skin, faggot.
why the fuck are the Japenase so bad about keeping secrets in their game? I fucking hate them so much holy shit
yeah i am sure this was not supposed to be a i hate california (the known western world) thread. come on OP try a little harder
They're the only ones making fun games anymore. With rare exceptions (like the recent Spider-Man game) Western devs don't actually care about videogames anymore, they only care about looking smart and cool. Look at what they did to God of War and RDR, for example - both games are story-focused and look beautiful, but they're boring as sin to play and they're clear downgrades gameplay-wise. That's modern Western industry in a nutshell. Meanwhile, Japanese devs always try something new and they're not afraid to appear weird or childish in the eyes of gaming journos that value pretentiousness above anything else.
The experimental age of Playstation 1 Japanese games was kino
They make the best movies, the best videogames, the best animation, the best comics. While not on par with the finest of the world in historically older art forms like painting and literature, the above combination ensures them a centralized place in contemporary pop culture.
>They make the best movies
How come I never hear anything about them? pic unrelated
The difference with experimental PS1 games is that they were good,contrary to all the unfun and uninspired indie shit that you see in these days.
That's because they were made in Japan while 99% of indie games today are from the west,it hurts but its true
Yeah. To this day, I don't think there exists a game more unique than LSD, that whole thing was fucking fascinating in a wide variety of ways.
The jews have all the advertising space bought for their own movies
I dont really agree though Japanesse movies are extremely hit or miss
They make good games, I don’t know man.
Good games for the most part. There is also otaku culture that a lot of people here drool over and dumb pol memes
thats true. i like a lot of asian films and shit but japs are REALLY hit or miss movie wise (not including any anime stuff)
Because for them story telling is not a succession of twitsts and turns, in a way the story doesnt really matter is about what it makes you feel and the mood it evokes, it doesnt matter if its obvious your mentor is going to betray you
He might be talking about Kurosawa, for example. Sergio Leone literally ripped off Kurosawa's Yojimbo when he was making A Fistful of Dollars, sometimes scene by scene. Toho even successfully sued him later, because all he did was switching samurai for cowboys. And A Fistful of Dollars gave birth to both Clint Eastwood's carrier and America's entire obsession with spaghetti westerns and everything that came with them. So that whole thing was started by a Japanese movie.
>2 games will never look the same
They all look the same
I don't like the idea that I can come to Yea Forums for japanese culture and have people openly act like fucking retards here.
They make games that aim for the ideal while the west makes games that aim for the real.
