Anyone else thinks Japan does Genre titles better than Americans?

No.

>Dramatic Simulation RPG = Tactical RPG
nigga that's fucking Mass Effect in a nutshell

As for SHMUP, it's written shorthand for "shoot'em up", nobody literally pronounces it "shmup"

>>387153339
>Horizontal scrolling exploration action game

Really rolls off the tongue

How about you use actual genre titles Mr Slant?

>>387153339
Add Raid Games(Jap) to Monster Hunter(Eng) clone to the list.

Its all about giving you the most information in the least amount of time necessary.

You say metroidvania and you know the intricacies of what to expect. You say any of that jap shit and you havent explained yourself well enough.

You must not pay much attention to the youtubes.

the only english genre that needs to be changed is "roguelike", and only because people keep calling any game with perma death a "rougelike".
some eceleb suggested the game "procedurally generated death labrinyth", which doesn't really roll off the tongue but its the best replacement I've heard

>Shmup sounds like what a fart sounds like.
It's a portmanteu of Shoot 'em up, if you actually say "shmup" you're a retard

I thought "roguelite" was the generally accepted term for a game with Rogue-like elements but not enough of them to qualify for "roguelike" status.

>>387153339
those looks confusing

>>387153339
Why is it (STG) and not just (SG)?

>You say any of that jap shit and you havent explained yourself well enough.

The Japanese term is a thorough explanation of all the gameplay elements. It's scrolling left to right, exploration base, and an action game. It's even a little to specific. Metroidvania is just two game names mashed together, and requires you to know what Metroid and Castlevania are.

ShooTing Game.

>>387154342
it is but almost nobody uses it outside people that play actual roguelikes

>I love playing Run n Guns, and Shoot 'em ups, but not as much as I like Metroidvanias and platformers!

Read this and tell you don't sound like an idiot.

>>387154159
So cringy that people still say "the youtubes"

>>387154686
Ting tong chang chong
damn gooks

>>387154686
at that point why not just make it SHoOtiNG game (SHONG)
