Why is Japan the only country making good games? The only games

No politics and 20h long work days

I hate to say it but it's the lack of pandering to people who don't play games

Luckily I enjoy being dominated.

>>382641763
Japan was always the best at video games.
t. filthy gaijin

>its a subtle sonybro lumps his mediocre exclusives in with 10/10 Ninty games, while misdirecting his intentions by having the topic relate to something else

yeah, no. go ahead and remove your games from that image, you pathetic sack of shit. there's only two GOTY contenders in that pic, and you know it.

Jap games are usually shit in every area but 1, while western games are polished in every area just a smidgen above mediocrity. Overall, games from both sides add up to be just ok, but Jap games shine in one area where as western games are easily forgotten because they don't do anything particularly well. Of course, there are outliers, but this is usually the case.

It seems like the Jap devs are people who actually play and enjoy good vidya.

>>382641763
Games have artstyle
Games have good soundtrack and not movie hornets
Games are actually polished
Games do not feel samey in characters (outside moeshit) plot and gameplay
Games do not feel like chores
Games do not try to be pretentious sadshit, or it isn't the entire fucking point of the game like most praised indieshit

>>382642354
No one said anything about it until you came along and had a tantrum. Also highly praising a game that isn’t even out yet is retarded and now you’ve summoned Horizon-kun, nice job.

It's a matter of taste, not everyone likes the same genres.

Yuroniggers and Amerifats tend to gravitate towards cinematic/casual games.

Yuropoors definitely have the worst taste though, never met one who didn't like trash games.

>>382641948
Definitely this, western studios develop games for people who hate videogames and enjoy cinematic trash.

Eastern European games are still really good. It's almost as if nip and slav gaming isn't infested by participation medal ideology and massive corporations. It's AA games are pretty much nonexistant in western games, but plentiful elsewhere.

>>382642381
>Nier Automata and Nioh aren't GOTY contenders at all.
Incorrect on Nier
Correct on Nioh.

What I don't understand is why are we still going along with the Persona is good meme? Every non-weeb knows it's shit, it always was shit. Only weebs like it because muh life in Japan. Why do we keep pretending it's good? Let's just come out and say it, keep you weebshit out muh country.

Really anon?
None of the games in OP are good because of graphics.

The last Japanese game I actually enjoyed was Dark Souls 3. (Which has so many western influences I'm not even sure it counts) I'm still sitting here playing the fuck out of Hitman, you weebs have no idea what you're missing out on.

>>382643176
>Eastern European games
Half of that is military F2P crap. Entire Eastern Europe shits out maybe 1 good game a year, and even that's a stretch. What's the one good slav game of 2017?

>Why is Japan the only country making good games?
Almost. You get like a couple of good western games per year if you're lucky, so we can't say Western developers only make shit games when there are rare exceptions every other blue moon.
Japan has always made better games, I don't know why it took until 2017 for some people to realize that. Lately there have been many threads like yours and videos made about this topic - what I don't understand is why it took this long for people to grasp that simple fact of life.

>>382642163
>It's a sonybro falseflags as a nintenbro filler episode

>>382643410
And what it wants to do is to give weebs the fantasy of living in Japan. That's it, that's the only reason this weebshitfest is popular.

>>382643475
Sure, thats not an argument against it though

>>382642163
Sorry Nintenbro, I know your butthurt levels are immeasurable because you aren't getting Monster Hunter World (or ANY Monster Hunter at ALL for YEARS on the Switch), but lashing out in random unrelated threads won't bring you back that franchise. Just let the big boys enjoy mainline MonHun from now on, while you play your kiddy MHStories Jrpg, ok?

>>382643519
It kind of is. Most people aren't interested in that fantasy. It appeals to weebs. The fact that GTA makes you feel like you're in US isn't really an important part of GTA, foreigners don't play it because of that.

>>382642381
BotW is in NO way a GOTY when it barely is a good game in the frist place.

If you are a PCc-u-c-k that enjoys unoptimized STALKER clones and EarlyAccess shit (again, just shooters) then sure, they make good games. For people with good tastes, no.

CDProjektRED are the only thing worth salvaging but they don't make good games so I don't know why I'm bringing them up. Their gameplay is fucking shit while character building and side-quests are good. Witcher series as games are 7/10 at best

Someone link the thread with the indie guy saying japanese devs need to keep up

Literally all the jap games in the OP are garbage. There are weeb retards who unironically think that western game is garbage because of cinematic shit and yet in the same breath defend and played godawful cinematic japanese shit like Yakuza, Nier and Persona V.

I don't know about GoTY but the best RPG this year is Expedition:Vikings and that shits on every Jap """"RPG""""' put together this gen.

Stop calling them weebs, it's too polite. Call them what they are, self hating westerners. These people actively root for their own team to fail, and they call others cuckolds while they do it.

>>382641763
Is there even a single action game worth studying in the west? There might be a couple First Person Shooters the west has shit out over the last 20 years, A COUPLE, that it might be worth learning to bunnyhop in. The west has done literally nothing.

>>382644026
Ironically his game is better than literally anything in the OP pic except for Zelda. Mario isn't even out, not a game

>>382644123
NO NO NO SHUT UP! The west is terrible because they make games for people who don't buy games!

>>382644179

And whats better is that they'll never be able to hide their white genes.

Folks from the 50s would be rolling in their graves for kicking Japan's ass back in WW2 only for their descendants to go kiss the enemy's ass like loyal dogs.

There isn't a single action game in existence worth studying.

Oy vey the innovative world of Japanese action games where a 10/10 is a remake of DMC3 in a slightly shittier form with a different setting.

>>382644179
>These people actively root for their own team to fail
Because not being able to play good games would be such a win

>>382644216

If so, no, the only western hack n' slash devs I can think of are Ninja Theory, and they produce nothing but trash.

>>382644026
Phil Fish and Inafune have both slagged off Japanese games, which is funny, because they've both only ever produced derivative shit

>>382644225
Don't you even start, you know Fez can't even compete with those games

>>382644324
The vast majority of weebs don't want the west to make good games. You hype up every AAA game from the west as the next TORtanic before release because you like to see western games flop.

>>382644357
His game doesn't have any menus or a HUD. I'd say he gets to call people out for heavy usage of shit HUD.

>>382643421
>You forgot about GravityRush2 and Yakuza0.
GR2 is shit (except graphics, its worse in any other aspect compared to first GR) and Yakuza 0 should be swapped with Nioh, since Nioh is just a bit better than average games, when Yakuza 0 excels in many things and is fun.

>>382644424
It wasn't Fish, it was the Braid guy. Who made Witness now. And yes, it's a better game than weebtrash in OP.

>>382644350

To see people like you defend your lust for moon people

>>382642535

Don't even start that 'Japan's superior taste' nonsense. They're a mobile game country.

>>382644350
When I came to 4chan in 2006, Jap media was better than Western media. Not the case anymore. I'm not in a cult, I don't have to always hold the same belief no matter what happens.

>>382644552

Don't bother. /v/ even tolerates shit like FGO and FEH. People crucify 10-20 dollar DLCs but gacha games that can potentially burn 500 bucks just to get your waifu is a-okay apparently. You can buy every damn console with that money

>>382644114
The difference there is actually GAME with those movie-games in Japan, the same can not be said of the west, nor when the west does movie-game do they even do it well.

I only really need Japan for fighters and 3rd person action games that aren't shooters, the west can make everything else even if it doesn't right now. I'll just play older games that haven't gotten boring.

>>382644723
>uggggh I play Yakuza for the complicated combat system
Please stop, weebshit. Yakuza gameplay got boring by Yakuza 2, only the minigames keep it fresh.

>>382641763
Because Japan makes games because they want to make games and so does Europe by the way.
America makes games because they want money.

>>382644846

>Because Japan makes games because they want to make games

Then explain mobileshit.

>>382644876
We can't all be perfect.

>>382644446
Just because his game doesn't warrant it doesn't mean they aren't necessary

>>382644876
That's the Japanese equivalent of Fifa and Call of Duty. Retards fall for it and give their money to the big companies. But they don't sell it as full price titles.

>>382644936
You can't seriously think that Japan is good at making UI. Every JRPG is a clunky mess of menus to this day.

Quality weeb shitpost. Actual GOTY contenders so far are Horizon from the West and Zelda and Resi 7 from Japan. Nier, Nioh and Persona are trash.

>Games do not feel samey in characters (outside moeshit) plot and gameplay
Dude, get a fucking grip.

Well western devs are gutting their rpgs, focusing on multiplayer only games, and finally do any of those games in op's pic have microtransactions?
Jap games are fun games that feel finished unlike a lot of shit in the west that needs updates a weak after a game releases

>>382642521
>samey in characters
Ah yes, just look at something like Nier. Those characters are so unique and deep. Totally not anime cliches.

the way the longneck shifts at the end of the clip, guess they couldn't even find 10 seconds of gameplay that weren't technically fucked up. the draw distance is complete shit, when it starts raining you literally can't see anything. they had to add witcher vision to make up for the shit draw distance.

Hollow Knight is not GOTY material compared to the games up there nor compared to La-mulana 2. It's too uncreative and derivative.
