Are Japanese games going through a renaissance?

No, they are just temporarily free of the censorship and political pressure which is destroying Western games. This will change come the 2018 Tokyo olympics when the country is mass censored to pretty it up for tourism.

That implies there were Dark ages.
Western game however should reach Renaissance soon or it's vidya crash all over again

>>382406342
All of those except Persona 5 and Yakuza 0 are shit.

>Are Japanese games going through a renaissance?
No you retarded weeb

>>382406342
>Street Fighter V
I've defended SFV for a while, but one word I'll never call it is "Good". The best I can give it is a "Eh, it's better than anything NRS has ever made". Still, even if people hate it more than it deserves, that doesn't make it good.

Tekken 7 is dope tho.

Western games are in a Dark Age
Only the Light of Christ will save them
Japan has accepted Christ long ago - look how many Japanese Games have Christ Like figures and Symbolism

>>382406423
Agreed.

>>382406091
When have western games even been "good"?
Most western devs have only ever been good at point and clicks, RPGs, and strategy games, which aren't even fucking made anymore.

>>382406228
Why are you not allowed to like games on /v/? Most games have their faults, but how do you enjoy anything being such a nitpicking bitch?

If this board is any indication, don't count on that anytime soon. Half this board seems to be completely apathetic to the bullshit that Western games are inserting and Japanese games are periodically forced to endure in the west. As soon as you bring something like that up, people will jump right down your throat with "nobody gives a shit", "I hate censorshits", or my favorite, "NOT FUCKING VIDEOGAMES". If you're lucky enough, you'll even get your thread deleted by mods, even if the bullshit directly affects the content of the video game (see the Last Night incident at e3).

>>382407039
Or the Yooka-Laylee, of course.

Honest question, but what do people who hate "weebshit" actually play? The only games that the West makes that are worth a damn nowadays are Grand Strategy and 4x's, not counting indie games, and even then most indie games are utter garbage. I thought Doom 2016 and Prey were pretty good though.

Don't you mean a law enforced by Japan? Hentai games tend to get UNcensored when brought to the US.

If you play handhelds they never went anywhere but insofar as greater cultural relevance then we MIGHT be on the cusp of a renaissance. 2017 has been the best year for high profile Japanese games in quite a while but I doubt it'll be toppling the baseline western commercial dominance, now about a decade strong, for some time. But it's looking better now than it has throughout the late 00s and early/mid 10s.

>>382414930
Japan was fucked up because of military leadership during WWII. U.S. won their war with Japan and tried to fix their government. I think this is where the U.S. enforced laws are coming from.

Western devs are having an arms race who can pander to Anita's loony crowd the most while forgetting their old dedicated fanbases.

>>382415434
So basically Japan uses US laws from the 1950's. Okay then.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Japan

Apparently was just a censorship of press but also included censorship of "indecent material".

>>382415462

That's also certainly a factor, the west is all sorts of fucked up and distracted right now, politics are more en vogue than good gameplay is. Japan's simply trucking along the way they always have, more or less.

Well, you tell me OP.

>>382405957
no, this is like the highest shit stuff to good stuff ratio in japan since like forever, i meant i get that you were probably born in 2002 so you don't know how good japan used to be at making games, but they're the "sick men of video games" at the moment

>>382406228
Thanks for the recs.

>>382412619
I'm not that anon, but that's not bait. It's the fucking truth. Look at what happens every time the West tries to make an action game. They make dumbass shit like Arkham and then pretend that it's a gud battle system. Why is it that most of the Dark Souls fellating actually goes on in the West yet not a single one of these assholes has the guts to do their take on a Dark Souls style game. A game which was supposedly Western influenced even though the gameplay is unlike any Western game.

The majority of the Western games that I do consider good actually are strategy games and some FPS.

>>382415462
That seems to be the most correct assessment.
I don't think it's a Jap resurgence at all. Most of these games mentioned are old ass shit that just recently came out to the West. Nioh & Purseowner 5 are games that both had a decade or near decade long development time.

Not that I ever liked the games from the Xbox 3shitty era, but I recall Western games actually being cool back then. Gameplay-wise they were never good, but I was actually interested in Western games before they tried to pander to S-J doubleyous. These damn motherfuckers even got to Mortal Kombat.

How are western games appealing to sjws right now? The only example I can think of at the moment is Mass Effect Andromeda and that game fucking bombed hard.

uncharted and the last of us are my favorite games.

This internet autism war will be the end of western gaming.

PS2 is successful in the West with tons of Japanese games - "Renaissance"

PS3 bombs in the West with tons of Japanese games - failure

PS4 is successful in the West with tons of Japanese games - "Renaissance"

To answer your question, OP, no

not necessarily shit but just not as good enough or worthy of the word Renaissance because they are just okay games to average.

I think persona is the only good one.

Just fix your own country's devs instead of praise Japan.
