        Nope. The Japanese are the only people making good games in the modern day. Even a dumbed down Japanese game is better than 99% of western garbage.

        The only good western games were made nearly two decades ago, with a few gems sprinkled here and there since then. The entire Western industry is dominated by Ubishit, EA and Activision. The trifecta of dogshit. Any creative talent that goes into this machine, is turned into feces.

            The easiest way to find the difference is to look at thief/rogue classes in WPRGs vs JRPGs.

            JRPGs:
            >pick a thief class
            >you have skills A, B and C in your menu-based combat which scale with Agility and have "roguish" names
            >maybe a unique debuff or two
            >absolutely no impact in dialogue, activities outside of combat, skills outisde of combat etc.

            WPRGs
            >can hide in shadow/become stealthy
            >can lay traps
            >can pickpocket outside of combat; in certain RPGs giving access to unique loot otherwise unavailable (even fricking World of Warcraft did that)
            >has unique quests/quest chains
            >has unique reactivity in conversations

            You have only played the most basic b***h JRPGs if you've played any at all. And even those basic b***h JRPGs can be made into a fun challenge if you grind minimally or not at all, or apply clever speedrun strats. When you say "grindfest" you conveniently forget this, even though a lot of JRPG fans do enjoy the grinding in and of itself and maxing out the characters stats, and you can do that part very casually while watching movies or whatever.

                "The designed mechanics" my ass. You do not need to grind in JRPGs if you want more of a challenge. No one is forcing you to overlevel before a boss so you can beat it comfortably instead of using more clever strats and use trial and error. On the other hand grinding isn't "fun" in the sense that you're fully engaged every second of the grinding, but you have som mindless thing to do while you mainly do something else. Never grinded in an MMO RPG? Never played Diablo 2? Never played looter shooter shit like Borderlands while multitasking? It's not always about savoring every minute and being raptured every step along the way in all games, the reward is in "big number go up" or "I finally got that rare drop" after putting in work.

                This. Grinding in most of these games exists as a way out of might be an unwinnable situation for bad players, or for players who just want to be overpowered monsters by the end. A good JRPG lets you remain underleveled and you can beat fights by using the mechanics intelligently.

                As a kid, showing my level 99 files off to my friends provided a sense on pride. As an adult, it's about minimizing the levels I've gained and beating a game at the lowest level possible, in the shortest amount of time.

                Yes exactly and that's part of the appeal for RPGs in general for me. They work very well as time wasters across hundreds of hours with Ulillillia-like maxing of stats and biggest damage number possible as the payoff. But they also work very well as speedruns because you get to be clever about how you approach combat and other things, and percentage-wise the number of hours you shave off compared to a regular playthrough is much bigger than in your action platformers or FPSes.

                The arbitrary limitation is grinding to overpower fights instead of doing them at a level where they are challenging. But you are the type of people that think that if you can't dodge and run from every encounter on the way to the boss and still kill the boss, the game must be a grindfest that needs you to over level.

              Why do morons on the internet believe literally anything they read online. You can literally photoshop a delete button onto a tweet in less than five minutes. Fricking moron.

              I mean yeah, frick Phil Fish. But imagine if you were just some random dev and a moron on Ganker shopped a fake twitter message of you saying you wanted to suck donald trumps toes and everyone just fricking believed it

              I was here when it happened, it wasn't faked. I miss the old Ganker days. Complaining about summer meanwhile Ganker has been in perpetual summer since 2012 since dubs were removed. Frick.

    Indiegays were getting wienery, they saw the japanese industry in difficulty because they couldn't keep up with costs and thought they were the new japanese industry, not realizing that they all lacked talent like Phil Fish.

      Cave Story was an indie Japanese game made by one person only and yet it became such a huge hit worldwide that it was responsible for popularizing indie games. And the creator didn't even used connections to shill his game, unlike Phil Fish.

        Sure but i'd readily admit that the indie industry in Japan isn't up to standards with the western one, not like it matters since indies in general are wildly overrated, they became popular after the industry was collapsing and fast

        Yeah dude your average xbox and playstation user buys regularly the last Neptunia and Senran Kagura instead of Fifa and CoD, you are a delusional

        The average isn't what keeps good series alive but even the niche player on PC doesn't really support japanese dev, they'll rather buy Farming Simulator 2017 than an actual good videogame

        PC gamers ignored jap games because japs can't into sales. Sadly the big sales era is over so japs may gain more ground but they still suck at pricing their games even for the modern, shittier sales.

        They lack the marketing power that western publishers have unless they are Capcom or Square Enix

      Japanese games excel at gameplay and music and generally at making highly adrenalinic games that you will enjoy since the first minute of play, a typical western game is like those videos where they keep cramming more food into burgers thinking that improves the experience because you will need to take more time eating it, a longer game isn't a better game and in fact it rarely is

      >Console players buy japanese games
      Outside Japan they don't, pc users are more friendly to weeb games from visual novels to just jrpgs

      Maybe if you stopped talking in memes you could sound like a normal human, if by "weeb" you mean japanese then you are wrong completely, if by "weeb" you just mean those games that don't pander to your western sensibilities then you are still wrong, those sell more on consoles too, that's why shmups still survive on consoles but not on PC, enjoy your euroshmups lol.

    I think before From Software got popular there were no Japanese developers or franchises the mass market looked up to for a long time during the Xbox 360/PS3 era.
    FF-XIII was a low point for the FF franchise, MGS IV released in 2008 and MSG V took until 2015 to release, PES fell hard behind FIFA, Japan had no important FPS game, Nintendo decided not to compete with Sony or Microsoft, Sony focused more on Western studios, SQ too by buying Eidos and trying to have big western franchises like Deus Ex.
    I think Japan didn't adapt well to the more expensive and longer development cycles of games of that era, as the market became more competitive and demanding, eventually Japanese developers have found their market and how to handle game development in this era, but it took them more time.
    I think with Western studios being more used to PCs and consoles become more and more like PCs, Western studios found easier to adapt.
    Although now there is a crisis for Western studios that doesn't exist in Japan, at least not to the same extent, Western studios became too bloated and now both Activision and Ubisoft are desperate to big bought, and EA doesn't seem to be in their best position.

      It's funny. The mid-00s through the mid-10s was a huge time for Japanese games for me. NIS games, Summon Night, Luminous Arc, Project Diva, I even got my first couple of imports then, one being Jump Ultimate Stars. Then with the 3DS and Vita I got into games like Neptunia and Senran Kagura. If anything, now I feel like there's an unfortunate dearth of interesting Japanese games, though that could also easily be a combination of less money, switching to PC exclusively, and just waning interest in gaming in-general.

    There wasn't any. Phil Fish is a psychopath who panicked when people exposed him for copying Fez's gimmick from Nintendo, so he defended his undeserved newfound fame by pretending like he hated Japanese games and thus couldn't have played the one he plagiarized.
    Kind of like that one niece-molesting guy who made a video jerking off with his own shit to claim to police that being a coprophile meant he couldn't possibly be a pedophile.

    It was probably already pointed out, but the Wii, and the PS3 in particular, set back Japanese game development tremendously. The Wii was under-powered, and the PS3 was a pain to develop, and also was poorly managed due to Sony's arrogance. So western "journalists" would shit on anything that was Japanese. It was basically Fromsoftware and Nintendo with the 3DS that was able to keep Japanese games relevant. Nowadays, the only good games are from Japan.

    Westerners loser with an ego the moment they think their enemy is weak. Now look at where they are. Its amazing it isn't limited to just moronic western game losers, but even to higher Western government officials when it comes to Russia and China and other leftist states. No, the Western upper class even treats the lower Western class with the same smug hateful contempt.

    Phil fish isn't one to talk given that he's made even worse games, but the japanese game industry is complete dogshit. Legacy teams full of old guard boomers that don't know how to develop a modern AAA and don't want to learn how, rigid corporate structures defined by pointless philosophies that hamper game design, and a seething hatred and inferiority complex towards western devs that makes them refuse to ever collaborate or utilize the gaijin ideas. The Japanese game industry needs all of its big players to die so it can move on, but weebs have turned them into living memes that can do no wrong. They made decent shit 20-40 years ago, not anymore.

        RTS are dead and for a good reason, like with FPS got mogged by FPS with RPG mechanics, RTS got mogged by RTS that are simulations like Graviteam Tactics or MOBAs, they are just too simplistic but also unfun clickfests.
        Adventure games are also dead because the western implementation was unfun, no one wants to spend time clicking all over the screen to find items, they just want to see dialogue and proceed with the story like it happens in visual novels.
        FPS also got brutally mogged by FPS with RPG elements like Deus Ex, System Shock 2 and STALKER, as soon as Doom came out the pure FPS genre was already "solved"
        I can give you turn based strategy games, in fact i can admit that westerners make better strategy games in general, that's the only genre that matters that they excel at in fact, Japan used to make pretty good management games when they had the budget a long time ago so i'm impartial.

        Big studios like Capcom resorted to being movie styled cinematic shit like turning Resident Evil into some Last of Us styled shit. please stfu

              Well Resident Evil has been revived though. VII, Remake 2 and Village range from good to excellent (and not in the order I listed them). The dark age of 5, 6 and Rev 1-2 is over. Remake 4 is looking to be fantastic. Capcom also confirmed there will be no cuts and it's a longer game, and have a story that wasn't made in 2 weeks.

    The Japanese were really struggling to move into the HD generation. Western companies like EA, Activision and Ubisoft had the finances and technology to quickly adapt to the modern generation. What ended up happening is that these companies thrives and released title after titles, while famous Japanese companies struggled. Look at a company like Squeenix, that dominated in the PS1 era - then suddenly they struggled to put out anything technically competent on the PS3. Atlus had to wait till the end of the 7th generation to release Persona 5, when Persona 3 and 4 were made fast.

    At this time, the Japanese became invested in handheld development. This is why the 3DS became such a powerhouse. Companies who couldn't release games in a timely manner on HD consoles moved to handhelds and cell phones. They could rake in money without having to invest in new technology and engines, without worrying about the huge investment that HD development took. Look at Capcom for example, with MH being cancelled for PS3 and instead being made for handhelds. Konami stopped making in-house games all together, minus what Kojima managed to pressure them into releasing. That's why they pushed for western companies to work on all their IPs, who already have workstations and available engines.

    So guys like Fish, and the big companies used this opportunity to try and dog on their competition, as they must have been salty for having been mogged for multiple generations in a row.

    What did the western dominance of that generation bring? Games as a service. Endless DLC. Virtual economies. Endless reiterations of trash like CoD and Ass Creed.

      Persona 3 and 4 just reused the Nocturne engine which was a refinement of the NINE engine. There was also a ton of asset reuse throughout the PS2 era. You can't really compare P3 to P5, as P5 had nothing it could reuse from previous games.

      NINE and Nocturne also had trouble development. They were developed simultaneously and the plan was always to use what they made for NINE and import what they could to Nocturne. But they failed to incorporate many of their ideas with NINE while Nocturne had a really troubled development as well. Atlus has always struggled for one reason or another, especially since they tend to have incredibly bad luck when it comes to the business side of things. Index Holding going under fricked them pretty hard as well.

    They weren't doing great. They were having trouble making games that looked good in HD as flat-screen LED screens became mroe and more popular and CRT started to phase out
    Games targeting photo-realism adapted better while games built on tools and art-styles designed to use the fuzziness of CRTs suffered.
    It also didn't help that Japanese devs started chasing the trends of the west but poorly. RE5, Ace Combat 6, and JRPGs in general were kind of in the shitter. Even best attempts like FFXIII also dumbed down mechanics a ton for the west

    Japanese games legitimately sucking ass and/or chasing Western trends and failing. Japanese companies that were more interested in putting manpower into pachislot machines instead of commercial games. The only Japanese games in that era that weren't shitting the bed had trouble getting localized, weren't doing the best numbers they could overseas, or were highly mediocre games with embarrassing writing and underutilized tech.

    The West fricked itself by chasing the almighty dollar and turning every franchise under the sun into a GAS engine while Japan has stayed the course making good fricking video games

      Japanese games during the 7th gen were still okay, at least better than they are now. Chasing western trends is something that happened and still happens there, that's why Nintendo is now making open world games that have no music because the west does the same fricking thing, the industry shined when Japan was in command, not when the west was leading the industry, not in the "Atari" era and certainly not now.

    Western developers were leaving PC development to turn into console developers, and their arrogance and seethe towards Japanese devs who were their business rivals manifested in open racism against the japanese industry.
    Jap devs, of course, had a MASSIVE lead on console gaming development since western games were always PC first until Microsoft pushed Xbox and notorious spergy moron Tim Sweeny decryed PC as a dead platform.

    AAA gaming went to shit. The problem is Japan does not have a healthy indie game scene like the west does. If you want to make games in Japan, you must work for a shitty AAA/AA developer that pumps out low effort otaku pandering trash. Meanwhile AAA publishers in the west are investing in and even buying up indie developers because they recognize that lower budget games are the future.

    Capcom was doing some fricked up shit. On disk DLC. DMC Reboot. Lost Planet got westernized via Lost Planet 3. They said the west would not like MonHun so they gave the rights to a Chinese developer thus that Monster Hunter Online game.

    Square Enix was literally going bankrupt until FFXIVARR saved their asses.

    Konami was also doing some wild shit.

    Platinum Games went to shit after making 3 amazing games - Bayonetta, Anarchy Reigns, Vanquish - and all they've made since then is terrible work for hire games. Also Bayonetta became a Nintendo exclusive because no one gave a shit about Bayonetta except for Nintendo.

    Namco & Nintendo seems to be the only ones that was consistent at the time. But everyone forgets Namco because Anime brand game goes in and out the other ears for a lot of people.

      In the context of AAA games, I don't think they peaked, but there were more good games back then. I think the same could be said of good western games too. Now we get a few good games spread throuhgout the years while the rest are neutered or sterilized so they can have the least amount of effort for the highest profit. Fortunately indie games took up some of that slack.

      There are no Jap games that you have to grind in to beat the main game.
      Any post game or extra content is made for people who like that kind of thing. All main game content is doable without grind. However this doesn't mean you can skip everything but the bosses and win. Anyone who brings up grinding only outs themselves as a shitter who can't think enough to beat a game they supposedly call "press attack to win" without spending hours to get power beyond the intended level of the encounters.

      Well, 2020s is even worse than PS360 era, for Japan used to make some great games like FFXIV,Persona 5,Nier Automata,Animal crossing,BoTW, Xenoblade chronicles 2, dark souls 3,Sekiro, Nioh,MHW,RE7,DMC5,Yakuza 7,death stranding,Smash bros ultimate, splatoon,three houses, to match even with Western games in 2017-2020, but they fall so soon and got mogged by Genshin so easily. which turns Elden ring,Sekiro,Bloodborne,Dark souls 3,DMC5,MHW,RE7 into shovelware.

      Recent ones like MH rise, Soul Hackers 2,SMTV,Pokemon SV,Fire emblem engage were pure garbage which shows the Japanese game's fall. For there is no Japanese game with higher metascore than Genshin(81-84) since 2021. OW2 has metascore of 85.(Junker Queen main)

      But Their glory when they revived in 2017 has fall so soon in late 2020 when Genshin mogs even Elden Ring,Sekiro,Bloodborne,DaS3,DMC5,MHW,RE7,BoTW. And recent Kusoges like MH rise, Soul Hackers 2,SMTV,Pokemon SV,FE engage shows the Japanese game's fall. For there is no Japanese game with higher metascore than Genshin(81-84) since 2021. Right? (Overwatch 2 has metascore of 85)

      At least we west have Hogwart,Starfield,Diablo 4,Cod MW2,Elder scrolls 6,Dragonflight.

    It’s funny how these threads are always made while the catalog is filled with Japanese games. It’s like all the fricking homosexuals who agree with Fish are Reddit crossboarders who don’t fit in on Ganker.

    Japan went into the PS3/XB360 with little access to the major middleware that the West was, commonplace dev tools such as Unreal Engine were at the time of limited use due to their lack of Japanese language documentation. While that would be eventually resolved, in the mean while they had to roll their own solutions which were often less versatile or more time/money consuming, leading to failures and set backs like Crystal Tools and later on Panta Rei.

      It's just WRPG fans the senile old fricks. Try asking them about good WRPGs released recently and see what happens.

        Yeah. Even China censors less than Japan now. Japan got bikini banned from the weebshit by feminist NPOs like Colabo,PAPs and Kishida, the sweet male feminist PM. Their anime got bikini banned since last summer. And Even FGO got swimsuit toned down as ugly shirts to be "appropriate" to Colabo,PAPS and Kishida's Gender Equality Department. Japan got Porn banned by new law on AV, by PAPS. China have no feminists. Azur lane got bikini restored.

    Has he even made a game since Fez? Even if he was right, they're still better than the fricking garbage the west is pumping out. Sweden is the best western dev country right now, that's how shit the state of westerns games is.

    these people don't play games for its own sake. They play games to gain clout and add to their social identity. Its not about fun, its about letting people know what you play.

    So Phil here realizes that telling his friends he played Seiken no densetsu Watari: The Soaked Panties of Hanamura won't improve his social standing at all. He has to tell them he played a game like Gone Home. Even if Seiken no densetsu Watari: The Soaked Panties of Hanamura is ten times the better game than Gone Home, it isn't mainstream so it adds zero social credit. Its useless to Phil.

    They aren't gamers or people who even like games, they only consume what's placed in front of them or what algorithms decide they can see.
