Would you say Japanese developers attempt to appeal to male gamers

Yes, because they actually know their audience.

>18-30
>Male
>White for the west, Asian for Japland
>Heterosexual

Not hard to understand that TnA + Waifus can sell a game, even making cool, muscular male characters is appealing to this kind of audience.

Such a simple thing and yet so many western studios keep fuckin' it up.

Too many western devs are too worried about triggering ham planets, Jap's are much more receptive to overly sexual designs and couldn't give a shit about what their western audience thinks.

Seriously, if it's this easy why don't they just follow suit? No likey money?

>>388995424
Yes, though separate to the west there is an established niche for fujos that is catered to adequately instead of muscling into the wider market.

>>388995424
No. Western devs actually attempt to people who play games. Eastern devs attempt to appeal to social outcasts who tugg their schlong to cartoons and/or little girls

>When looking up at the eclipse from japan

Western developers appeal to the groups that dont even play videogames - women, fags, trannies..

Not really, no.

>>388997024
That why western games have more gameplay and eastern games have just more sex appeal and terrible dialogue?

>>388996679
That's what's so odd. The worst companies like EA and Activision, who only see games as a product and not a passion, are still trying to appeal to smaller audiences.

Admittedly they try not to step too far into any one direction, and try to keep the main audience (18-30 males) interested in their games. Blizzard and Overwatch are the perfect example.

>All kinds of characters of different ethnicities, even has Zarya with her pink hair
>Quite a few characters, both male and female, are clear fap/schlickbait
>Overwatch continues to be incredibly popular

They wanted to have their cake and eat it too, and it's working. Sex sells for everybody, and they've made that work while not being too overt about it. The main audience get their SFM/Maya porn, the rare tumblrites that actually play games get to feel that they aren't being discriminated against or objectified. Everybody, somehow, wins.

Though that's a game with the Blizzard pedigree to boost it. A smaller or budding studio would be better off appealing to straight up TnA.

they arnt really aiming for the western audiene, its just the eastern audience prefers the western look more, nobody wants to look asian

Western publishers don't publish content specifically for male gamers anymore because enough have been cucked that they will buy it and shout down anyone who disagree's.

The Japs don't have a feminized society (yet) so publishers still need to make exactly what guys want to get their money.

>Only men can like attractive women
And there is the problem. Why SJW shit doesnt sell well. Women like sexy women in their games too.

>>388998970
Can confirm. GF's favourite Soul Calibur character is Tira. Specifically her SC3 appearance.

>>388998970

You've made a mistake. Women like to pretend to be the sexy women, that's why they are ok with female protagonists and love character creation.

They are not big fans of a set-up like the Witcher, male protagonist, sexy secondary female characters.

Since when?

>>388996119
>anime games
>target demo 18-30

youre kidding yourself

i honestly don't care if a character is attractive or not
it's not even a selling point for most people

only smelly otakus make it a priority

>>388996542
Jesus christ that thing is huge.

>>389001414
The most common consumer of videogames are in that exact bracket. This is pretty set in stone by a lot of censuses and market research from both West and East.

If you've got some research that suggests otherwise, link us all up.

>>388995424
No.

Both cater to males. They do so in different ways.

Eg. Western nu-males want to be emasculated.

>>388995424
>appeal to male gamers
You'd be amazed at how many women actually enjoy attractive female characters. Only ugly, bitter and/or fat girls get made at babes in vidya.

>>388996542
I've never understood what excuse a feminist has for wearing makeup, earrings and other jewelry.

If there was ever anything that represents the patriarchy it is nonsensical and arbitrary forms of sexualization.

Interesting.
So when most guys meet A2 they go "ah sweet another waifu in the game" but most women would go "REEEEEEEEE DON'T EVEN LOOK AT HER 9S".

>Would you say Japanese developers attempt to appeal to male gamers more so than western developers?

Yes, that's a part of it, but you're ignoring that they ALSO appeal to the female gamers more too. They put in all the perfect prettyboys that fujoshis drool over. Basically, Japanese designers make appealing to the audience a core goal, while western designers seem to think that's foul play somehow and focus on virtue signaling instead.

Nah. The difference is that video games don't have the stigma over there that they do in the US. In Japan, everyone plays video games of all kinds so Jap developers don't need to make them more like movies in order to appeal to a demographic wider than suburban white high school nerd boys.

>>388995424
Women don't buy vidya.

Women do buy video games, the video games they buy are just shit.
