Why so many Japanese games don't give a damn about plot coherence and focus so much on making it "cool" and flashy instead?
I just finished pic related and had to rationalize a ton of backstory for the plot to make sense, I assume that actual Umbrella executives keep the Ashworths in the facility in de facto detention since they're bad PR and only need them to make use of family wealth, rather than believe that Ashworths' cartoon villainy is Umbrella's typical MO. Even then the story has some hideous plot holes. It's the same reason I bounced off of MGS3 - I really can't give a damn about small talk over the radio when I've just been paradropped and should carry out my damn mission, much less get invested over forced emotional divagations with a character I literally just learned of.
Is it just my impression and most Japanese games aren't like this, or are Japs just hacks that don't know what makes a good plot?

Are you implying western games have good stories too?

Are you literally new to gaming? This has been the case for 30 years.

They are coherent. Take something by Naughty Dog and put up against something by SquareEnix. The latter would seem like somebody dropped acid and huffed paint when creating the lore for a game.

Cool, I was looking for one.
When it comes to resisting the bad shit BBI can cause to your party, which of the three debilitations do you find the most important to be able to withstand - sleep, possession, or petrification? I wanna make sure my pawn is immune to at least two of those.
If you could rank them, that'd be even better.

I'm glad I bought my 1070 last Black Friday, I could arguably sell it now for $100 more than I paid thanks to the fucking retards thinking Etherium will actually pay off.

is there a more obnoxious fanbase? gamecubefags think that the gamecube era was nintendo at their peak even though NO ONE bought the shit console. it was so fucking bad nintendo completely ditched its fanbase and pandered to casuals with wii. the only games that peaked on this shit console was smash and f zero THATS IT and fucking f zero was made by sega kek.

Gamecube games hold their value ($50+ each) while all the PS2 and Xbox "classics" can be found for pennies at fucking yard sales and swap meets.

mfw nintendo hasn't made a decent console since n64

>>388464708
Probably because more people bought Playstations and Xboxes rather than Shitcubes.

A.R., maybe.
But you're a fool if you think this is the end of the V.R. gimmick. In a few years, people are gonna pretend that it's coming back in a big way once again. THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL, DUDES!!!!!

There is something oddly compelling about this game. Just visiting all the different comfy gyms, playing cards, and walking around the map...Something about it is just really fun and unique. Anyone remember playing this game?
