Western gaming is the main powerhouse of the world in terms of sales, and games like Elden Ring only exist because the engine was programmed by European men.
They use their own engine, you double mud baby.
Absolutely seething, gender-fluid westcuck. Try not getting ganked by roving bands of immigrants, pal.
>Thanks from the tech assist, bro(s). We'll take it from here
Not only that most of the people who plays Fromsoft games are westerners, outside of Sekiro and maybe BB rollslop games never made a dent on Japanese market.
Dilate harder, dickless.

Elden ring sucked. Beat if offline, melee only, prepatch.
Dreadful. Insane the same company made DeS, DS, SK, BB, AC6.

see above, he started off as the lowest grunt at FROM to get into the gaming industry
>becomes zero to hero
how can i become the next ceo for fromsoft like him?
just b urself
game companies are staffed and run by such morons that coming from a real industry would almost automatically lead people to just fall in behind you - their jaws would be on the floor at the way you expect their to be like quality processes, procedures and standards etc. proven ways of doing hard things that you didn't just make up yourself and get lucky with once, like any game company head
His story is really inspirational and motivates me since I've started recently in a new field that I'm actually passionate about. People always act as if in your 30s it's over when you can still make great and drastic life changes.
playing Ico was the reason he left it all behind, definition of a SOVL game
Yeah and it's one of my favorite games. The entire trilogy is simply great. He has a based taste in vidya just like he's responsible for some of the best games in history.
A large part of his success is luck though
>Yeah, we have no expectations for this game and think it'll bomb, but we're too far into development to cancel it, so just do whatever the frick you want bro
I cannot see something like that ever happening in AA, much less AAA game studios ever again with the size of budgets these days
He is extremely intelligent guy.
Good, western gaming in it's current state deserves to die.
I like Dark Souls 2. I like Elden Ring. I like Dragon's Dogma. I like Dragon's Dogma 2.
How do you know you 'like' a game you've never played. DD2 has no more e-girls. Frick that game.
Forgot to mention in from the future. It has e-girls also I have 2k hours in it.
I would be happy if it's extremely moddable and modders go crazy with e-girls.
industry workers are absolutely not on 100k a year, its a minimum wage job because everyone wants to work on games
actual engineers are making decent money(less than FAANG though), some of the cuck jobs like QA, marketing, design, etc. do make peasant wages. Hence the 100K average across jobs, especially in higher cost of living areas
why do designers make such shit pay? i can't design for shit but make bank as techbro.
I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for him. Not only he (and the team at Fromsoftware) make the best games in the industry. He also said in some interviews how he would frequently show sketches or explain ideas to others in the studio, then accept suggestions and talk frequently to anyone he works with, not just other co-directors or designers, to see if there's a better approach or way to do things or if a design for something works well in conveying certain emotions or messages.
And he actually reached the top chasing his dreams, even when so late and already with a career path
it is not possible today, it was possible as gaming wasn't giga corporate like right now during his years joining the company; also from was just a small company back then
>from was a small company back then
so join a company that is small today, you've got indie companies putting out quality games that sell better than AAA studies. Miyazaki basically hijacked an existing failed project to make DeS
That article is brilliant
>t. from New Jersey, the Forsaken Land
How mad is he right now?
Guarantee you this homosexual would be the first one to post the “Let people enjoy things” meme when someone dunks on his disgusting Whedonesque slop
T
why teeth like that? also cute with all the snow tbh
>due to Miyazaki stealing revenue from failing western developers
truth is, only a handful of these companies actually had loses, the rest were just playing the hype and drop game with better or worse results.
In the end, this is pure and unaltered greed, these companies most of the time are so big workers become just an statistic on an spreadsheet, it's like war casualties, at some point victims just become irrelevant.
TOTK outsold this trash in less than 3 months on one system at 70 dollars. Fujibayashi shits in miyazaki lmao
>asset flip sloppa
kek
That's exactly what Elden Ring is. It reuses assets from literally every single soulsborn game they ever made.
>reuses assets from every game
>90% of the trolls complain about the enemies being too hard compared to previous games
can you morons get your story straight, is it an asset flip or an overly tuned game with "forced difficulty"?
the bosses are sekiro bosses, the game is DS3. DS3 doesn't play well with sekiro bosses. They really should have done more. If the combat against the bosses was actually decent I'd be this guy's biggest fan
>withheld his magnum opus from releasing the same year as ER only to lose to Bear Gay Sex 3 in the next one
KWAB
>implying almost anyone in games outside of senior lead developers, designers, art directors, and executives makes anything above $70k/yr salary (if lucky to land a fulltime job in games development/publishing).
That's what I love about you Ganker. You're perpetually unemployed NEETs who can't even be bothered to do some research on GlassDoor in the very industry you obsess over.
>he doesn't know
if you aren't a hack the game industry pays well
Roblox is rich as hell. Most devs are not, and the average person working in video games is not working in AAA studios and publishers, or even a project/game they would ever play outside of work. That's reality, kiddo.
And a lot of work is outsourced to the Philippines, China, or South American countries or some other third-world shithole to do the bulk of testing, development for cheap.

He made Alice real
SLOPden Ring isn't what killed Western gaming.
It's been dead for years, they just can't hope to compare in slop.
more like destroyed his own franchise/credibility after ER and is never releasing dlc while running away with the money.
>no pre-sale for DLC
>running away with the money
discord trannies aren't sending their best
Western video game industry is full of publicly traded companies, pension fund share holders all risk averse cause they don't want hurt their portfolios to reduce in value.
So they demand all games be made as inoffensive and woke as possible, as well as insanely over monetized in every way they can and as cheaply as they can.
Japan has not managed to attract these kinds of investors yet, so Japanese video games are still being made to appeal to customers.
This will not last, it's just a matter of time till the success of JP companies attracts the western investors and they ruin them too.
This is inevitable and you should prepare for it to happen, soon. It's already happening with Sega and their latest game.
I find it amusing that the success of the Japanese video game is what will end up destroying it, there is some kind of delicious irony in that.
Gay sex with animals is as inoffensive as possible? You understand them wrong. They want games to be offensive: to straights, to families, and to heterosexuals. Obscenity is promoted as long as it aligns with intersectional interests.
Thank you, Himitsu Mikazuki
In the west companies that make too much revenue have to pay higher taxes. Those taxes can be reduced by having more personel working on the company.
Majority of AAA companies end up hiring people which no real job title just to keep them on a payroll to meet the quota to cut down taxes.
Reason why you see these lay offs is because companies have not been profitable enough to get taxed out so theres no reason to keep them employed anymore
source? sounds interesting
thank you based Miyazaki
I don't care how many poison swamps you shove into the games
Funny how a single game can make more than one billion dollars.
Don't surprise me israelites got their attention to it and flooded games with sjw shit.
But what was the net revenue? Thats is the most important
they can't really clone what FROM does, best they could do would be to buy them out and ruin them from within
He didn't destroy the western industry though.
It's just that we have some buttholes here from america that want entertainment to be all about their boring political agenda
