Why do japanese love PUGB so much? https://newzoo.com/insigh

>>387581589
Japan has long been known for shit tastes, why does this surprise you?

I assume its because Japan absolutely has nothing like it, and PC shooters don't take off. So when one has teams so friends can play, and a different style than anything available, it takes off.

>>387581589
Because you can make girl characters with schoolgirl uniforms

>>387581589
Aren't LoL and PUBG both owned by Asian companies?

Probably why

Maybe it has something to do with this.

>hey vee why do people like dis game huh!?!?!?
>"BATTLE ROYALE THEME PUSHES PUBG TO #1 IN JAPAN" literally the 3rd sentence in the post

sometimes people on here confuse me.

>>387582063
Japan has every shooter we've ever got, really. It's not like they don't have access to the same games we do, they just don't really like them much.

>>387581589
noone in japan plays on p except for westcucks. Its obvious those peolle will have a similar taste to the west.

>>387581589
Japs have no taste

>>387581589
Very few people use PC in japan as a gaming platform and most people who do only play these simple online games or VNs on them.

Just because this game dominates the nonexistent PC market in Japan that doesn't mean the game is popular there compared to other games.

good for them, at least they don't have to play nip garbage games

>>387581589
>Why do japanese love PUGB so much?
How many other shooters are 3rd person with multiplayer?
Japs like most asians can't play FPS due to motion sickness

yall might not be aware of this, but modern young japanese culture is not much unlike ours. We have an almost identical spectrum of values (from far left internationalists, to the far right nationalists)

it's actually really cool meeting japanese socialists/communists. I guess that's one of the cool things about being a leftist: no matter what country you're from, if you're a leftist, you'll have an amazing time with your international comrades

anyway, im not surprised at all that PUBG is popular in japan

>>387582375
>>387581997
You realise that the game is still very unpopular with the Japanese audiences right? PUBG is only the top PC game in Japan because people there in general don't use PC for other games than visual novels and f2p online games with low requirements.

>fun

It's perfect for pcbangs and shit.

>>387582867
>motion sickness
this meme needs to die
it was literally one Japanese guy who said that FPS games make him sick and then he was referred fucking everywhere as "why Japanese don't like fps games"

>>387582948
>easy to pick up

Riiiiight.
I refunded that shit because it was impossible to kill people, every time I got in a gun fight RNG was always in their favor.

because they only play pc for westaboo games and doujin vn's

probably also because the original battle royale movie was really big

For example, take a look at http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/
Japan has 1.9PB while Sweden, an incredibly depopulated country in comparison, has 2.4PB
That works out to a sort of Steam GDP of 15MB vs 250MB.

PC market is pretty niché in Japan. It's literally around 10 times less popular per capita than in the west.

Japan invented the battle royale concept these games stem from

Fucking anime this season has a PUBG reference in its intro...

>>387582867
>>387583007
I thought it was more to do with cultural differrnces, similar to how they see weapons as a symiotic part of the player avatar rathern than a self-contained tool like the west does.

It's a cringeworthy shit show with a super beta lead that doesn't want to join a gaming club because he only plays for fun and is too nervous to actually play with other people.

no it's not you retard
it's the most popular PC game, which is a dead platform in Japan

>>387583989
It's actually significantly worse than that. He only really plays mobile games. Has like 3 girls ready for his dick but is too beta when they're literally throwing themselves at him and apparently the whole thing is sponsored by Arc System Works because they're in every fucking episode with Guilty Gear or Persona Ultimax

>>387583906
It's "misunderstandings" the anime

The show drops vidya pretty much altogether and it becomes a romcom by episode 3,with the occasional vidya reference sprinkled it

Right now however,beta MC proposed to be the boyfriend to the love interest and she says yes.The title of the episode even has "good end" in the episode like VN route

In the manga,Chiaki is a jealous cunt that breaks up MC and Tendou because she's an insufferable bitch that should've stuck to shitty mobile games

>>387584269
keep bargaining with yourself, fatass

>>387583989
No. The protag actually plays and likes vidya.

>>387584391
Dropped.

>>387584213
It's not even him being beta. It's a shitty trope of harem anime where the MC is clueless as shit which in recent years has been overdone to the point where he doesn't seem to have any interest in getting his dick wet at all.

I can't believe this got an anime adaptation instead of High Score Girl. I gueess it wasn't sexy-moe enough.

>>387581589
The Japanese and to a lesser extent the entire Asian population of the world have a weaker inner ear on average making high speed shooters disorienting to them. The fact that PUGB of all things would get the entire nation interested is amazing in itself.

>>387584142
"most popular PC game in Japan" is like saying "most popular Xbone exclusive" or "most popular Battleborn mode"
>>387584705
>making high speed shooters disorienting to them
That's exactly why they love PUBG then, it's pretty slow

Probably because drop in drop out, and I'm guessing since it's a nobody dev/company, it's incredibly easy to get away with hacking on it.

Just two guesses.

High Score Girl was being adapted though and even entered production. It was just put on ice because of the law suits which made everything go to shit. So who knows what'll happen with it now.

>>387583654
>>387583730
The anime also has xbox references in it. Doesn't mean it's popular in Japan but that the animes like to refer to every kind of niché stuff.

>>387584864
Koreans are even more addicted to idolshit than Japs. They're not allowed to make porn so they stick to this instead.

Because shooters are getting less and less like shooters every passing year. Why do you think Overwatch is the first legit successful FPS over there? Japan is more character focused than the resource-oriented west, which is why they prefer renewable kung fu powers to hoarding and stockpiling floating guns and bullets to play with.
