I do.
I just don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. There is a reason why there is a stigma on japanese pop-culture, for the same reason why there is a similar stigma on majority of comics, fantasy literature etc...
It's because a lot of it - statistically significant portion without a doubt - is at best very difficult to recommend, at worst shit. And that comes from somebody who spend one third of his life watching anime.

Just fucking accept that and do a better job recommending shit to people. It's really not that hard to work with pre-concieved notions of other people if you aren't completely braindead.

Also, the problem is not that it comes from Japan. There is no similar problem when you recommend Japanese literature or cinema. Hell, nobody gives you any funny looks if you recommend Silent Hill 2 or fucking Dark Souls. The problem is with the extreme pop-cultural nature of the so called "weeb shit".
Nier sabotages itself right from the gate with the fucking character design. Of course non-weeb people will not trust it on a fist glance.

Unless you're talking to someone who is a hardcore dudebro who only plays Madden or Fifa, or you're trying to recommend shit that the only thing it has going for it is that its anime (think Neptunia), it isn't too hard to recommend more weeby games like P5 or Nier.
Just recommend them. It's not hard.

>>377521293

>There is a reason why there is a stigma on japanese pop-culture, for the same reason why there is a similar stigma on majority of comics, fantasy literature etc
Except you don't have to fucking push and sell to get your peers to try one of those things, but if your game recommendation is Japanese? You better have a full fucking sales pitch to give people, or they'll just shrug.

>>377522376
She just wants people to stop being so fucking biased. She shouldn't have to convince people that a "weird lookin" Japanese game is worth playing.

>>377522495

You clearly have no understanding of that she's saying. She's saying she has to convince people further than just recommending, because people treat JP games like second tier experiences.

>>377521293
Weebs should all kill themselves

>>377522713
>She shouldn't have to convince people that a "weird lookin" Japanese game is worth playing.
Actually that is exactly what she should be doing. The bias is there for a reason. It's not fucking groundless.

>>377521293
Anime is on par with marvel/DC to most people, but without the connections those things have to their childhood. So it's not viewed as an embracing of the inner child, it's just straight up manchild. The reality is both can be used to deliver damn good stories, but their aesthetic is juvenile, as are their tropes. After a lot of exposure it just becomes a normal thing, and those that break through the western barrier are usually lax on the anime-tropes because anime is mostly shit. Like comics.

>>377522882
>Actually that is exactly what she should be doing.
No. Because that implies that most Japanese games are dogshit, and the REAL reality is that most of ALL games are dogshit and not whatever the fuck you or some other fag was trying to push about how Jap games are generally shit.

Being set against it because it's Japanese makes you a fucking shistain of a gamer.

If they just don't want to play Japanese games, then there's literally zero reason to force them to. If someone is going to judge a game based on whether its anime or not, then just let them.

Maybe because 99% of the trash weeaboos rave about is literal trash (sometimes not even games) selling purely from fanservice.

It's no surprise then when people are skeptical on your tastes, much less aware of your bias.

>>377523048
>"Nah, it's a pretty great game. Beneath the anime exterior there's a fantastic experience to be had."

This is the part she's trying to cut out. I completely sympathize. I really shouldn't have to tell you that the game is worth it "despite" something. The hesitation on a suggestion should center entirely on the genre/gameplay and not something so trivial as the country of origin.

> If someone is going to judge a game based on whether its anime or not, then just let them.
That's what most of us well rounded or weeb gamers do. but it's fucking tiresome trying to talk games with people when you're always on the backfoot because everybody is a biased fucktard.

No.

I have 4 friends in college.
Two of them talk about Metal Gear and Dark Souls all the time.
The other two read anime and watch manga.

Is this "anti-weeb" sentiment an American thing?
Is it jealousy?

>>377523284

>>377523284

Yes, japanese entertainment has been pretty much better than western one for a while

Reminder that unless you play all your Japanese games fully in Japanese (text and voices), you're still an EOP = barely any better than idiots who play western games.

>>377523284
Americans are ignorant mouthbreathing retards who aren't readily open to new or exotic experiences. Anybody can tell you that when abroad, Americans look unhappy and stressed out. It's hilarious.

This. Japshit is a regressive tumor on gaming that repeatedly denies that in this day and age, the gay cartoon aesthetic that all easternshit tries to push will never be considered a selling point and only serves to hold gaming back and prevent it from evolving as a medium.

>>377523784

It already is, but weebs are trying to cling onto the past when it was nothing a niche. Video games were in the same spot 20 years ago and have gradually become more appealing to mainstream society. Anime is slowly going down that trend.

Its the same as Dragon Maid last season. A SoL show full of loli sexualization and yet the normalfags were loving it.

>>377523023
The likelyhood that a Japanese "weeb" game will appeal to average non-weeb western audience is smaller than the likelyhood that a western game will. That is a pretty simple fact. Just like there is a stigma towards western games in Japan: it's a product of people having negative experience with the common prevailent trends in the medium.

>Being set against it because it's Japanese makes you a fucking shistain of a gamer.
Being weary of something that is extremly rich with patterns and trends you are extremely likely to find annoying just makes you normal. It's wrong to assume that it's shit because it's Japanese, period. It is completely normal to assume that it's MOST LIKELY shit because it's Japanese.

Then the argument is done. It's because these flaws bother people, and since they are more likely to appear in a Japanese games, people will be more weary of Japanese fucking titles. End of discussion.

These typically Japanese issues bother more people more than the typical flaws of the western ones. That is all. No fucking magic here: People correctly assume that western games will annoy them less than the Jap ones, and they are, for the most time, absolutely right. What YOU think does not fucking matter at all.

>You're cute.
And you are stupid. I don't see how either of those two statements are relevant to anything.

>I threw an argument at you that you can't rebutt, so you've decided t openly ignore it.
You did not use an argument at all. "ALL GAMES SHIT DURR" is not really an argument, it's a vapid, shallow and largely incorrect generalization. And it's irrelevant because this discussion is about issues that the particular audience is statistically more likely to find annoying, not what you think about the industry.

>All games share the exact same probability of being good or being bad.
But not the same probability of being actually enjoyed by an audience with particular likes and dislikes, moron. Japanese games are more likely to contain weebshit elements. Most people find those annoying. Most people will not enjoy weebshit games, which is why they generally look at them with serious suspicions and they are completely right to do so.

Yeah, because they're ignorant mouthbreathing American shitstains. Y do realize the US took an entire fucking decade to warm up to ITALIAN food? PIZZA was a fucking exotic treat almost 50 years ago. Fucking Americans. So fucking scared of new and different things.

You're defending a hopeless shallow mindset. I genuinely hope you die unsatisfied with your bland shithole life.


>You did not use an argument at all. "ALL GAMES SHIT DURR" is not really an argument,
Yes it is. You're the only person in this whole thread who ACTUALLY thinks JP games are LEGITIMATELY more likely to be inferior. It's like you forget that 99% of the "worst games of all time" came out of the West. I don't see any gook names on Ride to Hell or Superman 64.

Because weebshit is annoying in a way other shit isn't.

It doesn't help that the people who do it post with anime girls as their avatars and go on and on about "muh waifuism". It's fucking annoying in a way that fans of other interests simply aren't.

There's obviously a cultural barrier, it's not because people try to actively avoid Japanese media because they are japanese.
Even if you were to translate it, or learn japanese yourself, there are simply a LOT of subtleties and details you will not get unless you're Japanese yourself. Japanese Media, from their movies, or cartoons or jokes, is simply made for a japnese public in mind. It shouldn't be surprising to see non-japanese people put off by it constantly, that is to be expected, even subcounsciously.

Were you waiting for that? And you said you weren't asshurt. I said I loved two FPS games out of an industry that's plagued with shitty ones, and maybe if you had played them you could spot the difference. Meanwhile between Bayonetta, MGR, and Nier Automata, none of the games do anything drastically different from the other and I typically find the games rife with emotional manipulation meant to make the player feel like they're doing more than they really are. The best example of this is MGR's shitty dynamic soundtrack and the QTE finishers that define the game.

I think there's truth to this.

Praising something by drawing a line between it and its genre or country of origin seems pretty patronizing.

No, Japan made its bed with making way too much of their media pander towards lonely virgin otakus, and it fucking shows. The reason people look down on japanese culture is because of how frequently it panders to otakus.

That doesn't change the fact that yes, Japan is the artistic center of the world and does produce the largest amount of legitimate and formidable content as well, but its human nature to always remember the bad more than the good.

I have a feeling "Smang" is some cringey Ken-san or Kendra-san who tries to push how cool Japan is on people who don't give a fuck. Just let people play what they want from wherever they want.

The only acceptable genres of anime are Shonen, Seinen, Mystery Thrillers, and Comedy. If you aren't laughing, getting hype off fights, or on the edge of your seat watching a keikakku unfold, you're watching moeshit or ecchi, which is pointless when you can just watch porn. People who shit talk shonen or greentext
>manime
are the problem, watch cool shit not dumbass schoolgirls and people won't judge you. You can have waifus in shonens too, it's when the show is ABOUT waifus it becomes trash. This is why /a/ is only good for DBS and Jojo threads. Moeshit is for lonely teenagers and loser neets.

>>377530039
This is where the business is. Tastelessness and lack of daring may be the brush in some of cases but telling Japs not to market to otaku is like telling EA not to market to Joe Blow, albeit on a smaller scale. Japanese games and animation might be unrecognizable if they were to start ignoring the tug of otaku dollars.

>>377530383
/a/ loves loads of shounen shit what are you talking about.
>shounen and seinen are genres
I see that 20 years left you wanting anyway. A lot of great comedy shows are similarly participating in the gay loser beta manchild etc. etc. moe shit of having cute girls. These stupid lines in the sand help no one and just serve to make you feel more GAR for not liking Kuma Miko or whatever shit.

Moe anime are generally shonen/seinen and are largely comedies themselves, though.

Also regarding anime I personally dont understand how studios even make make releasing shit that is average 12-13 episode single season series. Because most if them have 0 plot, character development and arent targeted at kids or adults, that ir I have seriously misjudged japanese.

Whoa say it ain't so. Curiously, it's not hard to recommend Japanese titles like BoTW and fucking Mario, I wonder why?

I want anime to be as derogatory of a thing as possible, for irony to die off, and a widespread return to genuine, shameless enjoyment.

At least I still have manga, bros

>>377523354
If you are talking about "stereotypically Japanese" then I see no problem with someone always being turned off by it. In this case, it has nothing to do with country of origin, but rather the presentation.

>>377521293
I imagine these are the same sort of people who genuinely wonder why people are put off by half-naked lolis in games like Rabi Ribi

I've noticed a lot of people criticize Persona 5 for being "tropey", which is about the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Literally every game is "tropey". P5 no more so than (insert your favorite western game here).

I think these people are just fucking stupid and racist so every little thing in the game they don't like they say "oh it's because it's from Japan and I heard they are too tropey, I'll say it's tropey" instead of actually thinking about what they're saying like they would if it were a western game. So instead of reasoned criticisms like "Ryuji is so stupid it breaks suspension of disbelief", or "why did they forgive Yusuke so easily for being a sexual criminal that tried to get them arrested under false pretenses" you get "this game is le anime tropes but I guess it's okay anyway xD"

>>377523354
True, dark souls doesn't really look like weebshit. One of my friends didn't even know it was a Japanese game, he figured it was western because of the medieval Europe aesthetic

Christ, they give you a hentai board and this place still has hentai spammed on it. That says literally nothing good about you retards.

Anime art-styles often are turn offs because of how homogenous the designs can appear and this homogeneity may appear to reflect on the gameplay and story, to some.

I've watched several anime and definitely still feel that way. Generic Japanese fantasy setting does nothing for me and I'd say most people have a less experienced view on anime so I would assume their derision for anime would be even less focused. Not to mention that most Japanese games are RPGs.

I'd see people using "anime" as a criticism to mean the exact opposite thing, though. Complaining about characters looking too unique.

>>377534934
This same criticism can be levied against so much shit from all over the world.
The idea that 'homogeneity of character designs may reflect in gameplay' is really stupid. So is the idea that there actually even is a great degree of illustrative homogeneity in Japanese media. There is a lot of variety these days in art styles, with anime being about as prevalent as dude with gun or any other 'overused' aspect of anything

>>377521462
Too popular for them not to take notice. Many still have problems with the anime elements though and you can bet that a (((certain))) crowd of journalists and "fans" are going to lobby for a.) Persona 6 to be set in the United States and b.) cater more to them. After all, Persona's now a mainstream global hit and you want to continue earning those shekels don't you?

>>377535245
Fuck I don't know. I think it mostly the idea that they all center around fights I think. Plus not all people like the aesthetic I guess. Which I understand because before really getting into mecha I wouldn't care about a lot of design.

I think I'll try convincing the dude I'm on internship to go and watch Gundam 00.

>>377534934
I do agree. Mangas have a much better range of artstyle but even then there is a lot of identical looking work.

>>377521760
This is actually genuinely literally for-real an indicator of autism.

>>377535375
To the outside viewer the differences you see are miniscule. And I still stand by my point that games looking similar could make people who don't understand their differences write them off as "another weeb game".

>>377521293

Only on the Internet.

I never met anyone in person who discriminated between Japanese and Western games or who held Japanese media in contempt. The most I've heard was something like "Japan sure makes some perverted stuff", but that's it.
Then again, the amount of "hate" Japan gets in my country's side of the Internet is nothing compared to the English speaking one, and ironically this shithole of a site is the worst of it all.

Japanese media is probably a lot like ours, but the thing is that we only import the things that stick out and are unique to the entire world aka the anime and the hentai.

I mean, Japan has fucking dull tv-shows and tv-news and normal movies and all of that, but we never get to see it and I never get to see people who claim to love Japan recommend those things either, no it is always the otaku-culture.
You guys are actually just as "racist" againgst Japan as all those people you claim are racist againgst Japan because you only acknowledge one small part of Japan, kinda like a guy who is only dating a girl because of her huge rack and ignores that she is a human being completely.

>>377521293
I generally don't enjoy products targeted towards otaku because I am not one. Ergo, most as most anime styled video games are targeted at this audience, I do not like these games.

The problem with most Japanese games is that they rely too much on anime tropes and fan service. They don't innovate anymore outside if a few devs like Platinum and Nintendo. They're almost all turn-based rpgs. They simply don't take risks to make something fun and original. Outside of BotW, Splatoon, Nier, and W101, the only other Japanese game I myself have, and continue to have fun with, is Puyo Puyo Tetris. That's fucking sad. Western devs too have also stagnated . All these big AAA companies aim for is muh graphics, that's it. Sad.

>>377521293
>it's hard to build a sense of legitimacy from what I enjoy with all this going on

What does this mean and why should care about it?

>>377522203
>Also, the problem is not that it comes from Japan.
Yes there is. I have plenty of music I listen to from bands that happen to be Japanese. Nothing explicitly "Japanese" about it outside of the language but I've had people dismiss that shit to me because it's Japanese.

Japan in general is played up in the west as being a weird other where the laws of normal society don't matter and there are used panty vending machines on every corner because the Japanese are just giant autistic weirdos worthy of derision. Anything from there that succeeds in the west succeeds in spit of its origin. You basically have to have anything "Japanese" stripped entirely away from the work. Something like Persona is the rare exception and you can bet that between now and P6 there's going to be loud calls for things like "set Persona 6 in the US".

>>377537132
I think a lot of what they're talking about is more of a passively dismissal, othering attitude, not outright hate.

>>377537324
>They only recently illegalized childfucking, and the age of consent is still only like 13. They're weird.

Both of these statements are bullshit, every single prefecture in japan has had an age of consent of 16 for decades.

Except weebshit is 99% visual novels. Even their J"RPGs" are just visual novels with combat that's just as braindead to click through as their dialogue. It's basically just "one button to win: the game". No thought required. Shit's linear as fuck too so you can't possibly fuck up.

And their action games are no more complex. Just one button with no thought and you too can beat a weebshit action game. People just praise them because it's overly flashy garbage.
