How does it feel knowing Western AAA games have evolved past archaic shit like points, combos, skill, and embraced storytelling, social commentary, and addressing real world problems?
Frankly, I'm so tired of having to worry about "getting good" and I just want a good story full diverse characters and human emotion.
That's why Japanese games no longer internet me. I want games that speak to me as a marginalized person.
I do not care for it.
Why?
No?
Feeling lonely tonight OP?
I wonder if westoid garbage will be referred to with the same tones as "anime" games a few years back
No, because anime games suck.
>No, because anime games don't suck as much as western or westaboo shitters
FTFY.
>I just want a good story full diverse characters and human emotion.
read a book then homie
Why, though? Why can't we have games that focus solely on story and leave shit like dodging and frame perfect shit behind?
that's literally what RPGs are you fricking moronic Black person
Still much emphasis on gameplay.
you should actually just have a nice day or read a VN if gameplay scares you that much
VNs have too much sexist fanservice.
Watch a movie/show, or just watch someone else play the game for you. I know you're just being a moronic little devil's advocate, but come on. If you don't like execution or decision making, gaming is not for you, literally not designed to entertain someone with your sensibilities.
Black person please

How about no? Games have catered to people like you for too long. It's time for a change. They need to be more inclusive, more progressive, and more catered to everyone else besides you.
Bullshit.
>Bullshit.
Provide one example of a group of people that at least some part of is not being killed due to hatred and misunderstanding
White Christians.

Fake wikipedia articles aren't proof.
You are shit at being a devils advocate I could do it ten times better
Least I'm not full of shit.
we've been making those games for years, they're called dvd menus
Why are you talking about two entirely different things? You can have both in different games, they aren't mutually exclusive.
No, it's time for gaming to evolve past that shit. I'm tired of seeing games I'll never get to play because you have to actually be good at it.
Story should be the focus.
Representation should be the focus.
Social commentary should be the focus.
Gameplay had its time. It should be a thing of the past.
>because you have to actually be good at it.
LOL this isn't 2007
Games are entertainment media and are meant to be interactive. There's better storytelling media than vidya
I know it's bait for the culture war board tourists, but there's a reason why the only popular japanese games are games with no story, meaning or characterization and are pure gameplay, however good it may be (soulsborn, zelda, mario, etc...).
It's why a character like Astarion, Garrus or Kim Kitsuragi are years ahead of any eastern character ever done in terms of depth of character, and they're not even that complex or that well written, asia is just that far behind.
That's why I wish Japan would get the hint and just stop putting gameplay in their games and start focusing on narrative, feelings, and focusing on marginalized groups?
BG3 was great because of the diverse and interesting characters. Yes, I had to use cheat engine to basically skip the gameplay, but I don't care about that. I just like knowing that people like me are represented.
Yeah, and that reason is because story doesn't matter in games and has VERY little place there which makes the Japanese ones superior because they're actually fricking games.
What about games like Yakuza and Metal Gear, which have west-tier amounts of story and cutscenes anyway?
Compare them to Kageaki minato
What the frick is this nonsense
One of the most popular Japanese games in current year is a 100+ hour RPG about dating your classmates
Pretty sure "it gets good 100 hours in, just bear with the exposition" is strongly associated with Japanese VNs and RPGs.
Tho I will give you that the stuff that makes it to the West is usually "friends kill god" tier plots.
Just because you don't agree with me because you have shit taste, that doesn't mean I'm baiting you.
>to me as a marginalized person.
You gave away your intentiond with this one line. Be more subtle next time homosexual
Meant for
Hating marginalized people makes you a virgin.
Stop it anon. If it is (you)s you want go practice on /misc/ a bit more with making your bait.
You will find it a lot easier to get them to sperg out at you
I really don't understand how me wanting games to be more accessible to everyone is bait. Oh well.
>I want games that speak to me as a marginalized person.
As a white christian man in 2024 America I feel the same
You are literally the most privileged person on the planet. Oh wait, is this the bait you guys keep referring to?
>and addressing real world problems?
Like?
Systemic racism, white supremacy, climate change, LGBTQ hatred, Islamophobia, Anti-semitism.
The marginalisation you speak of is a self made prison you made in your own head
Hundreds of trans people are killed every day. That is not made up.
Millions of people are killed every day, how does that relate to marginalization at all?
Trans people are directly killed because of hatred and misunderstanding.
There is no group of people that a part of is not directly killed because of hatred and misunderstanding
TGA 2023 is absolute funeral to Japanese game.
No Japanese game won award this time while Mihoyo got 2.
Genshin,Starrail,Lies of P, Dave the Diver,Zenless zone Zero,BG3,Black myth Wukong mogs DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
No wonder why Japanese devs have inferiority complex on genshin so that they manipulated metacritics like TLOU2 by bribing critics such as Elden ring,ToTK and Xenoblade 3.
At least we Westerners still make good game like Avowed, MS flying sim, Diablo 4 and OW2,Halo infinity, AoE4,STARFIELD,
Modern warfare 3,Sea of stars,
BG3,Mortal kombat 1,
Spiderman 2,Remnant 2.
Phil Fish was right. Japan has no where to stand in gaming.
Japanese game used to be great in 2017-20 but how can they fall so soon and get mogged easily by Mihoyo,Lies of P,Dave the diver and BG3? No Japanese game since 2021 has higher metascore than Genshin.

Lotta incel vibes in this thread.
Well yeah. What else would you expect in a thread about western shitters except the troon lobby defending the garbage they've made?
How does it feel knowing that a woman would rather have sex with a trans woman than you?
Well, I think that frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt, frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt, frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt, frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt frrrrrt.
You CLAIM this but havent read Slow damage, I have, Your words have no weight here, I know your commitment is paper thin, ignorance is no excuse, anyone claiming things like you do would have their ear to the ground and heard of Slow damage when it was announced (like me)
Cross channel as well is a masterpiece by your description, if you havent read that already then you are beyond help. The absolute disrespect your ilk show this medium

The fact that even a single person bumped your thread reflects how moronic the average Ganker poster is.
But I'm here forever, see you tomorrow
Liking Japanese games make you a virgin.
Hating POC makes you a virgin.
Hating LGBTQ makes you a virgin.
Hating israeli folk makes you a virgin.
Hating Muslims makes you a virgin.
Nice try, but pretending to be a super conservative doesn't change the fact that you're a single mother of 6 with 4 men.
>super conservative
Huh? I hate conservatives like you.
i don't know anymore
It's not bait and standing up for marginalized groups is not moronic.
>standing up for marginalized groups is not moronic
arguable but the real reason you are moronic is because you want games to lose the things that are unique to them just so they can imitate movies better
And that's a bad thing why?
Because you can already watch movies doofus, hence the redundancy in turning games into movies. Your non-skill intensive games already exist in the form of movies. And if you really can't "play Dark Souls" or whatever you're pretending to cry about, you can always watch a no-commentary playthrough if you're so butthurt about "missing out".
You're not even trying.
Frick off, chud. The industry is moving on without you.
Games WILL be more inclusive. They WILL have less gameplay. They WILL be browner, gayer, and more trans friendly and there's jack shit you incels can do about it. It is not your hobby anymore.
No western game has nor ever will surpass the strory telling perfection of titles like Swan song, Cross channel, Subahibi, Saya no uta
They havent even come close, and why? The westoid market is entirely illiterate prudish pigs, they cannot push the medium as their entire heritage rejects the idea. When I play westoid slop I specifically have to mentally adjust my IQ down 50 points and enjoy it like an action movie.
If I ever want true art then I stick strictly with Japanese games because they did so multiple times, only they actually care about this medium as an artform.
Spoken like a true incel.
