>Person A: WHY DON'T THEY MAKE GOOD SINGLE PLAYER GAMES?

Because they're scared of being a weeb, which makes no sense.

Who doesn't want to have Samuel L Jackson's taste?

People assume those games are going to be autistic.

I would argue those games had a heavy focus on story over gameplay.
Not only that Japanese stories in vidya give off the impression that they will go full retard thanks to JRPGS over the last decade.

I could understand why Person A would avoid trying them

P5 and Nier weren't that good, anon. They're actually really similar when you think about it, both are mostly acclaimed because the gameplay is a bit less unplayably terrible than the last entry in their respective series

God damn you Person A. Always strawmanning Person B.

Here's the thing:

They're still better than pretty much every other single player Western game of early to mid 2017.

With maybe the exception of Hellsing: Shenmue's Sacrifice, I can't think of a single decent Western SP game of 2017. The only good Western game this year after all is a buggy Western multiplayer early access Battle Royale game.

>>389021710
Yeah that and it made me realize how much people hate mouse controls in run and gun games. Its a shame because its some of the most fun Ive had in a run and gun game that isnt Contra, and it really shines on very hard

>>389021867
Haven't played it.
I played Nier Automata though and it was beautiful and sad and only slightly autistic but what can you expect from robots? Actually a really tough question.

>>389021861

The gameplay of these games are just serviceable

Nip games are better because they are made as escapist products that takes you to a different world.

Western games desperately attempt to instead virtue signal and ruin that escapism with poorly constructed social media pandering.

>>389022126
No wonder they don't appeal to me then, I'm not some fucking loser looking for an "escape".

>>389019841
so, i looked up some "gameplay" videos of your mentioned "good" singleplayer games.

persona is a turn bases rpg where combat consists of you selecting what the character should do and then watch a 12 second animation of said action. this is 2017, the only reason for turn based rpg with these kind of flashy animations without giving the player the possibility to pull this off by himself is lazy devs.

nier looks alot like a uninspired clone of bayonetta. i already played bayonetta, ninja gaiden and metal gear rising. there is no point in wasting my time with a reskin and paying 60$ for this.

yakuza looks like a QTE borefest. combat looks too easy. again, there is a better contender with sleeping dogs, if i want to be an asian mafia guy.

so these are the "good" singleplayer games?

>>389022276

I want to know why there aren't any local multiplayer games.
Are you fucking serious? Where are the single player games?
Every fucking game on a console is a single player game.
What game doesn't have the option of having a single player?
Online multiplayer only needs to STOP.
This is not good for the gaming community.
It only leads to more anti-social behavior.

>>389022330
Persona 5 is a boring and mediocre game but you're a flaming faggot for thinking turn based is bad.

>>389019841
Because people just want nostalgia for shit they played as a kid

>>389022424
>I just want to have fun
They can be fun, you just have to stick to stuff you might be interested in. They're not all generic anime RPGs littered with overused tropes, there is plenty of unique games and others that aren't unique that are still done well.
Same applies to the west, obviously.

>and anime doesn't really appeal to me anymore
That's perfectly fine too. Not all Japanese games are anime styled either, though I guess by literal definition they are all pretty much Japanese Animation.

You don't have to like them, but it'd nice if you could accept that others do and that they can be great games. Judging games by country of origin doesn't even really mean anything to begin with.
It's common sense really, it amazes me that we even have these kinds of discussions.

>>389021098
>food analogy

>>389022454
can you read? i said turn based that forces you to watch a visual novel after each action.
i love divinity o. s. for example. you select attack, the character does exactly this, next round. if i wanted to see kung fu movie, i watch a jackie chan movie and not "play" a game that lets me "play" the boring shit and the engine has the fun.

>>389019841
Persona 5 is a VN, not a game
Nier is extremely disappointing as a game and people just jerk off the story
Yakuza has too much scripted shit and QTEs

I want a GAME not a movie. A good SP G A M E

>>389023068
>Persona 5 is a VN plus a game
Fixed. Please insult games with correct information.

>>389021053
Rain World
Hollow Knight
Endless Space 2
Injustice 2 was surprisingly good and way better than anything NRS has ever made for both SP and MP (you get your $60 for just SP)
Sonic Mania
Styx 2

Hoping Project Cars 2 is good
Getting real tired of a bunch of cutscenes, aimlessly running around, and filler dialog that has zero impact on how you play. This is a problem for a lot of western games, but it's a fucking problem for more and more Japanese games and people are praising them for this shit.

>>389021861
Story matters too, unless you like games like Minecraft or Call of Duty

>>389022126
Well, it's a different kinds of escapism.

My own intolerance of weeb games can be explained, that I prefer to sink in a somewhat realistic worlds. I want to feel myself great, overcoming my fears, and coming on top of the difficult situations. For that, world must be somewhat believable and internal rules must be consistent. Even in the more fairytail-y western games, characters are usually grounded, and humane.

Japanese games usually consist of worlds, plots and characters, that are completely unrealistic. Characters don't act like humans, they are usually not even humans, but rather some kind of fallen gods edgy ninja assassins. Even if the characters are formally humans, they dont act like they are. Weeb games, just like anime, give us the worlds, that has nothing in common with real world. If you escape there, you admit, that you have no hope of getting better IRL.

>>389021098

>>389025328
>Dungeon Crawler
You just go from point A to B while killing Shadows it hardly counts as dungeon crawling
