They sucked. Still do btw

Only Yakuza and western-inspired games like Dead Rising were ever good (and DR failed once it stopped being a Jap's take on western gaming).
Yakuza isn't good
Yeah it is.
Yakuza is a better movie than movie games while having actual game content.
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.
What's so creative about Japanese games? They've literally rehashed the same tropes and IPs for decades.
What's the point when they do it better than westerners ever will
>Role Playing Games
>RTS games
>Turn based strategies
>Management games
>Puzzle games
>FPS games
>Simulators
Sure, better... They've even lost their touch when it comes to survival horror, when compared to stuff like The Void, Signalis, Pathologic 2...
why are your "examples" of things the west does better all dead genres or outright false? the most high profile rpg of last year was japanese. japanese puzzle games and turn based strategy games are still doing fine. RTS games are literally irrelevant.
Every single one of those genres you've listed are dead, as in the best entries were made in the late 90s or mid 2000s. FPS games are in a zombie state as they try to be competitive, live service turds.
Nah you're just a dumb weeb
>The only good western games were made nearly two decades ago, with a few gems sprinkled here and there since then.
this is literally no different to japan, not sure what happened to media in the past 15 years or so
production costs skyrocketed and small companies all got bought out by conglomerates who only care about profits, so all games are created by shareholder commitee.
Dead Rising literally died when it was taken in by and made by western studios moron
Yeah, I said that already you mongoloid. DR only worked when it was a Jap's take on western culture and gaming concepts (which is where Jap developers always shine the brightest - taking the best parts of Western games and giving them their own flavor). DR2 was good and it was made by Canadians though.
And yet Phil Fish made a crappy, watered down ripoff of a Japanese video game, Super Paper Mario
The people that are the most aggressive are usually the biggest hyprocrites
There is no "east", Japan still mogs the rest of the world, always did probably always will unless their economy crashes again.
because modern japanese games did suck. fromsoft was an exception to the deluge of unoriginal slop flowing out of japan at the end of the 7th and beginning of the 8th
it got so fricking bad that people were acting like they enjoyed platinum games that werent bayonetta
what a reach
this is almost as dumb as saying smash is an outfoxies clone
MadWorld was kino, though
Nah the only modern japanese games that sucked during that era were the westernized garbage the big publishers started vomiting out after Inafune shat on western games (before going on to make Might No. 9)
Plenty of AA or B list Jap games were still great and much better than contemporary western games, which at the time were all horribly consolefied garbage.
>Super Paper Mario
Don't know about that. But BlackBastard's games did do Fez's gimmick before Fez.
He'd be more right today than he was then, but he was still right. Japanese games have been on the decline for decades
FPBP
Cringe. Check my 5
>all these gays crying based
Give me some good alternatives to Jap games if they suck so much.
Vastly superior to your Black person worshipping eurojank and amerigarbage that is just 6 hour Talmud walkalongs. Elden Ring won btw
have a nice day
What a story Phil
They have heavily stagnated from the golden age that was 80's and 90's.
Isn't that a good thing though? Shouldn't everything attempt to "stagnate" into its golden age for as long as possible?
> rips off Super Paper Mario
There still is hate btw which is why people repeat mindless memes like and
Plus the backlash against Elden Ring from western hack developers and discord trannies on Ganker
Japan had a hard time transitioning into the HD era.
Pretty much this. Falcom rolled out a completely new engine. It has the graphics of late PS3 Bandai games.
Falcom hasn't been able to make a winning formula since Origin.
Hopefully they can course correct with X.
Once they had Adol lose the sword and board and go to a typical jrpg outfit it was all downhill.
This PS360 was so horrendously painful for japanese devs.
Gears, Asscreed, Mass Effect, Fallout, Halo were in the up & up
Meanwhile japan struggled to come up with decent competitors at the time. Their on-going franchises were tanking.
Western devs got too smug about their own shit. They started going off about casual gaming, and story-mode difficulty. And more famously "Bosses in games is outdated game design"
Then Japan did WRPGs better then the West and the Souls Series carried japan.
>Japan had a hard time transitioning into the HD era.
This
I agree but using game freak as an example is counterproductive, these people suck because they don't try in the first place.
This, the only reason they're not dead yet is Iwata saved their asses with Gen 2 and helped push Pokemon as a game even further. He did their clean up all the damn time. Since he's passed on everyone has been noticing that GF are fricking morons and didn't learn a god damn thing from Iwata when he was still around.

And ESPECIALLY this. Hell, that was the time Capcom gave Devil May Cry to Ninja Theory or Koei Tecmo trying and failing to do some Gears of War ripoff game
, Asscreed, Mass Effect, Fallout, Halo were in the up & up
All of those games were shit and objectively downgrades compared to their predecessors. Except Mass Effect obviously which had no predecessor, but it caught up fast by immediately going to shit with the sequel.
There wasn't. It was hate against Phil Fish, and that was it.
Western hacks were jealous, still are. While Japan was trying new shit, everyone was pushing out brown and bloom shooters or indie garbage.
>While Japan was trying new shit
Their RPGs have menu-based combat since the 1980s. Unless they can easily copy something from Western games, they don't improve shit.
>Their RPGs have menu-based combat since the 1980s.
And guess what? It still god-tier, meanwhile, even normies aren't buying ass creed combat number 2257 and cawaadooty number 2748492947.
>JRPGs
>God-Tier
They're the most dumbed-down, grindfest, coomerbait with nonsensical plot I can ever imagine.
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
>has backstab, which actually requires you to position properly in combat
And so on.
Yes but you don't play those types of WRPGs, you play Skyrim and Mass Effect and then pretend you know shit about videogames and that JRPGs are icky. Its embarassing.
Skyrim is one of those kinds of WRPGs. It's shit either way, but still.
>unique quests
>access to unique loot
>can lay traps
>unique reactivity in conversations
No its not, Skyrim is probably as """deep""" as the latest Zelda which i haven't played because i have enough good taste to avoid open world games like the plague
Or you could just play japanese Wizardry or frankly most japanese blobbers, at least regarding combat they blow the vast majority of modern WRPGs out of the water, only cRPG rightfully stand above those in complexity
The fact that you're a disingenuous homosexual notwithstanding, even the examples you mentioned have more fleshed out and realised RPG mechanics than 99% of JRPGs:
>A meaninfguru choisu? In mai gamu? Dishonorobu! Back to the combat menu!
I guess a Nip's brain would explode if he would actually pretend to be someone with a personality, A.K.A. roleplay.
true roleplaying games are for embarassing losers, d&d is dying and no sane person gives a frick about your garbage
And jrpgs is pokemon for babies whats your point?
pokemon is more popular than western rolpelaying games will ever be lol
>d&d is dying
Black person what? tabletop games have been growing
>tabletop games have been growing
And thats a bad thing.
>t. /tg/ gay
you will never be a woman
look up the D&D OGl drama
>>A meaninfguru choisu? In mai gamu? Dishonorobu! Back to the combat menu!
Like Mass Effect?
You don't play a role in RPGs from any country, you pick predefined choices with predefined outcomes. The only actual role playing where you make choices that matter is D&D.
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.
>It's fun if you impose arbitrary limitations, because the designed mechanics are shit!
>It's fun if you watch a movie in the meantime!
Is this bait?
"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.
>>It's fun if you impose arbitrary limitations,
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.
You're pretending that western companies have EVER made an RPG with good combat. It's always cookie cutter Baulder's Gate clones, ES clones, or WoW esque shit.
Let me guess, you think Soulsshit is good lmao
It's incredibly good and you will never not be mad about it. How the frick did one japanese Z list dev embarass the entire western video game industry?
They're extremely flawed and have barely innovated, but they're than any western RPG.
Nope. Pointless microtransactions, DLC and games as a service built out of the cancer that was Xbox Live and Horse Armor.
I will give you examples of Western games with as many installments as FF. Assassin's Creed or ANY modern Ubishit property, Call of Duty, any sports property, etc.
Guess what, majority of those FF games you brought up were released from the late 80s to 2000. FFXII came out in 2006.
Meanwhile, XIII and parts 2 and 3, XV, VIIR and XVI are the singular mainline, HD single player FF games that have been released since 2009. Meanwhile there have been 12 Ass Creed games since 2007. There are 21 cod games.
Nope.
play a Sting game Black person
Western games constantly experiment with the formula. Combat in Underrail is a completely different beast than in Baldur's Gate, which in turn has little in common with SpellForce, which in turn has nothing in common with WoW, and so on.
Big studios like Capcom resorted to being movie styled cinematic shit like turning Resident Evil into some Last of Us styled shit. please stfu
Japan worships undertale which is a western made indie game you fricking idiot
2010 was the start of the indie trend and the few gays who caught lightning in a bottle genuinely believed they were geniuses about to turn the entire industry on its head. Fish is still just a seething homosexual who can't get over his newer games not being as well received as Fez was.
Wait, Phil Fish did games after Fez? I thought he quit right after because he was that butthurt people didn't like his opinions.
He made a sequel which bombed then quit.
Fez 2 didn't bomb because Fez 2 never came out. He cancelled it as part of his tantrum.
Is Fez even that good? I don't remember nothing of it
fish himself was caught shilling the game on Ganker, that's all you need to know about its quality
Got a screencap?
Do people really believe this kind of stuff?
a little defensive aren't we
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.
If we're talking about what really ruined Ganker and Ganker as a whole, this was what killed OC on Ganker.
which is weird considering /LULZ/ was created specifically to nurture OC by making it impossible to post duplicate posts or replies.
robot9000 as presented as an idea was fundamentally flawed from the beginning as a Ganker board, because it leads to wordy replies with no meaningful content whatsoever in exchange for (you)s. This should sound incredibly similar to another site if you have a brain.
there is a reason moot left this place. we should all do the same.
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
newbie frick
Go away.
Yes it's fantastic.
No
He made a passable indie game at a time when indie games were still novel and weren't just cluttering up the steam catalogue.
If he made fez today nobody would even know his name.
Envy
jealousy
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. And a decade later indies have never been worse, proving they did in fact had very little to offer aside from mountains of copy and pasted roguelites and the rare gem.
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
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
They lack the marketing power that western publishers have unless they are Capcom or Square Enix
>still the most sovlful indie is nipponian
>still frickall for indies from other nipponians while westoids steal all attention, even in japan
how
hello anon
There are near infinite doujin games they just don't get translated.
>i'd readily admit that the indie industry in Japan isn't up to standards with the western one
WHAT?
Are you moronic? The western indie scene is the weak, little b***h here.
>Touhou a literal powerhouse with it's own events that run each year by popular demand made by one composer who's kinda shit at art
>Ryukishi07 - horror game writer who has now made his big break into the main industry itself with Silent Hill f
>Type-Moon - makers of the Fate series
>AliceSoft - Eroge company going well over 30 years strong
The west has what? Faceless mook walking sims, cat Mario knockoffs and a frick ton of roguelites and shitty platformers.
How do they hold a candle to developers who established a whole damn subsector of the games industry 20-30 years ago?
Japs were afraid of PC and their games weren't selling because console players don't buy weeb shit
>console players don't buy weeb shit
Console players buy japanese games, its PC gays that having no taste don't care about japanese games, not even their fault per se since they neevr had access to those titles by only owning a puny computer
So he attacks the japanese industry but also attacks the main repository for western shit on the planet? I always knew Fish was a moron but not that big of a moron. Or maybe he just wanted the attention but then why did he go away?
>Console players buy japanese games
Outside Japan they don't, pc users are more friendly to weeb games from visual novels to just jrpgs
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.
He also thinks PCs shouldn't be used to play games, his opinions don't really matters.
What is Fish even up to these days? Still waiting for people to suck his dick and choke on it?
He's 38.
They were falling behind western devs in popularity and sales, so they tried too hard to appeal to western audiences and failed.
*Back in the late 2000's/early 2010's.
they just hated japanese culture i guess idk
This image tells you all you need to know.
It really does.
No, it's helpful to also know he's French-Canadian
Insufferable canadian, that says enough for me. Leafs were always shit
Perhaps the least flattering professional photo that anyone has ever taken
This spawn of the antichrist is why gaming suck these days for indie devs
Also he is the sole reason of why pixelBlack folk infested the retroscene and went on to shit on CRT and later on CRT Shaders.
He is the original soiboi
Japanese games are fine if you just want style over substance
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
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.
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
Japanese games sell better on console than Pc
This is fact
Doesn't Gran Turismo still sell well on PlayStation? GT is a japanese game after all.
Because it's true...?
Shut the frick down, boco.
That’s it I’m canceling Fez 2
Yes but western games just sucks more.
AAA japanese games fell off, but A and AA japanese games were still just as good as ever
Where's that screencap of him actually posting on Ganker and we caught him because the screengrab of the tweet was only from the account holder, which was him.
Literally who?
He made Mario, I think.
Japan ran out of Western ideas to steal while the while man continued with his innovation. See how bugmen never invented anything worthwile to history white northwestern europeans contributed to 97% of them.
indie game hacks thinking they were better than they actually were.
the only person with a constructive response at that panel was the only person who wasn't a total hack, jonathan blow.
Americans still being racist Japanphobics since WW2.
He's French.
even worse, french canadian
Both the west and the east have shitty games
The Japanese were being shit on by game journalists at the time as well. They legitimately felt threatened by their vidya they made and were as racist as American businessmen fearful of a Japanese takeover back in the 1980s.
indies were mad that people were giving japanese games more attention than their lukewarm turds. it was a bid for attention as the western indie game industry was fairly new, niche and overlooked at the time.
bought and paid for by microsoft
Phil Fish is moronic and always has been. But now he's just a has-been.
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.
>Japanese developers or franchises the mass market looked up to for a long time during the Xbox 360/PS3 era.
What is Gran Turismo?
Imagine wanting to play japanese games but refusing to learn japanese. Yep thats how it happened.
The alphabet people and their supporters are scared of attractive fictional girls.
Everyone who isn't a troony hates tranime now
I don't think so and its unfortunate. Shemales have won, its not even a topic anymore. That's because they have moved on to their ultimate plan which is to hurt children.
tranime has infested popular culture to its core, even western media is influenced by it in some way now
Yeah, I don't know why people say otherwise. It makes sense that shemales won. 95% of all men under 50 say they have no problem sucking shemale dick because its not like they are gay. Being gay to them is being in a relationship with a man, and that alone and nothing else makes them gay lol.
deflecting vidyAGP troon
ok troony
That explains why genderbend anime like Onimai and feminist anime like Tomo chan is popular.
Its your standard yu*iggers aka pussy worship
This was like 6 or 7 years ago, he left the game industry. Let it go. Literally all of the gg era "special boy/girl" indie devs have moved onto other things.
Instead, their successors are ruining every major game studio now 🙂
Stagnation and a rough time going into the HD gen. Big blockbuster games and shooters were huge. The average gamer, given a choice between Another Big Shooter 3 their friends were playing and Pantsu Maiden: Requiem Nocturne Garterclism VI Pt. 4 (that had PS2 graphics) would choose the former.
>Pantsu Maiden: Requiem Nocturne Garterclism VI Pt. 4
Sounds great actually, would play.
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.
Yes, there was no stagnation. This is just a parrot-squawk that people perform.
Their proof is
>muh graphics
ETC.
Western gaming during that time was a drought.
>one gay hates them
>this means everyone was hating on them
nice base boys
thats spawn area though, its just that peopple build what they want on it
i am not joking, i think it looks cool
well thats nice to hear anon. theres plenty of other cool things on it too. i just have very little pics yet
shame bout the game version though. might as well not play
server is on 1.18.2 or 1.19.0 you can connect with both or pirated account too
>Server is full of ironic/unironic homos
Hard pass
western and asian media in general sucks dick now
asian media is slightly more tolerable as its less pozzed but its still mind numbing shit aimed at the lowest common denominator
Japanese games stagnated and continue to stagnate. Tell me the last time you saw one actually do something new, switching between established styles of gameplay doesn't count.
We don't need something new, we need something good, every "innovation" and push for useless shit like better graphics ended up with making the industry worse, so frick you and people that think like you.
Innovative gameplay has never made gaming worse
Yes it did you mongoloid, those walking simulators that are all the rage now are something that wasn't really in vogue before, not even when they were first introduced because people at the time still wanted, no required games with good gameplay and that wouldn't put them to sleep. Shmups of the 80s that you would define "archaic" are still more entertaining that your crappy 100 hour long modern games that have more dialogue lines than button presses required
Bro you're stuck in 2013
80% of western games from the last decade are first or third person shooters. Stagnation isn't something only the east is guilty of.
Depends what you mean by first or third person shooters. Is Portal a first person shooter?
It's a puzzle FPS.
Even BotW and ER are more "innovative" than the derivative western games we get which is saying something.
BOTW is literally recreating the achievements of 90s western developers. ER didn't innovate at all.
>BOTW is literally recreating the achievements of 90s western developers
what did he mean by this
Proto-ImSims, fully open worlds and physics puzzles mainly
can you give any concrete examples?
>Tell me the last time you saw one actually do something new
Wonderful 101
the only innovation i've observed in western gaming is innovating in how quickly you can alienate your original fans and kill your franchise while chasing the call of duty audience
Japs do plenty of that as well
>innovated train gropes TRPG
>meanwhile in western cuckland this trash cost 3 million dollar to make
god please name.
Shin Chikan no Kiwami Groper of Glory
English never ever
translation when?
KINO
>call of duty modern warfare II 2.0 two
What is innovation gameplay? everything has already been done under the sun and Japan is the one who innovated the nost though
fez was shit
Friendly reminder that he didn't make a Fez II, because there was nobody he could steal Fez II from.
It was a time where Japanese game sales were struggling against Guitar Hero and Call of Duty clones taking the market by storm. I remember gameinformer articles featuring lists of recommended Japanese games to play because they were afraid they were gonna die out. If you weren't Nintendo you had no hope
Why did Ganker harass Phil Fish to the point he quit the gaming industry? Did he deserve the hate?
western games are so innovative. assassin's creed, god of war, the last of us. breaking new ground
All innovative compared to jarpig slop
Hey wait a minute god of war is just a dmc clone! However Assassins Creed, The Last Of Us, Uncharted, etc, are all just Tomb Raider clones so I guess the only competent game devs are brits then...
Westcels always mad
modern games just suck, mr. fish
Superiority breeds jealousy
westroons devs still jealous till this day hence Elden Ring and the freaks that worked on HZD
Japanese media hasn't be pozzed by woke bullshit yet.
Figures a mega SJW like Phil Fish would get triggered by that.
>hasn't be pozzed by woke bullshit yet.
it sort of has, and you even have shit like hajime no ippo weirdly worshipping blacks during that early arc where he fights one
>hajime no ippo weirdly worshipping blacks during that early arc where he fights one
what the frick are you even talking about? ippo literally has the american hawk acting Black personish, and ippo is literally a simp for everyone he fights
rewatch the early arc where he fights the black boxer
>rewatch the early arc where he fights the black boxer
what about ozuma? it's been years since i watched it
there's quite a few weird lines in that arc about blacks that comes across like the author has a massive race complex, really strange pity-worship stuff
>Japanese media hasn't be pozzed by woke bullshit yet.
They've been making pozzed shit way before Steve Jobs killed the internet.
Is Onimai considered as Poz shit? It seems strange to see genderbend anime is popular.. (most of these are rejected by Billbill who is Anti LGBT)
>ranma is pozzed
moron alert.
he's right tho
No, he's a troony obsessed moron
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.
Isn't Fez a Super Paper Mario knock-off?
>modern japanese games
He was actually right. They were the absolute best in the 80s and 90s but they absolutely lost their way after that.
That is true for all videogames you stupid frick
Dilate
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.
>The Japanese game industry needs all of its big players to die so it can move on
so it can become irrelevant and western companies can have all the market for themselves*
you've been spouting this old "japanese game devs are finished" line for two decades now and it still hasn't happened, companies like capcom and nintendo are doing better than ever, new companies like fromsoft are doing better than your sorry ass would have predicted. keep repeating it though i'm sure it'll become true by accident at some point
Okay HOLD ON! wait a minute.
Japanese Visual Novels > Western Walking sims.
Jp vn's are quick to the next scene while western walk sims have artificial loading screens in the form of walking and thus waste more time.
VNs often stall between pages for no reason as well.
I <3 Purse Owner
I always liked this one.
If Japan's videogame industry had never took off, I fully believe this medium would've been dead by now, ammounting to dying wasteland of mediocre simulation games. Why are western devs so worthless?
Sure, if Japan's vidya industry died, we would've never gotten:
>The entire RTS genre (Age of Empires; Command and Conquer, StarCraft, WarCraft)
>The entire CRPG genre (Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment)
>Puzzle Adventure Games (Grim Fandango; Monkey Island; Myst)
>Shooters (Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein, Blood)
>Turn-Based Strategies (Civilization; X-Com)
>Management Games (X Tycoon; Sim City)
Oh, wait...
It's really impressive how little Japan has actually contributed to vidya in terms of new genres or concepts. Is it just their aversion to PC making it so they have to stay within a very limited control scheme, so they just default to the same shit JRPG mechanics and VNs 99% of the time?
The Japanese are amazing at copying and refining in that robotic "I will make a perfectly polished and and curated and framed and boutique-ready packaged product" way. But not always the best at taking risks.
it's literally the exact opposite
you're comparing one (1) island country to the entire rest of the world combined, and it turns out japan has contributed almost as much if you compare them side by side. platformers, fighting games, platform games, shmups, turn based rpgs, action/adventure games have mainly been dominated by japanese devs for a long ass time
The only genres that would *maybe* be affected would be platformers; fighting games, and survival horror.
Stealth games as well
>Castle Wolfenstein - 1981
>Metal Gear - 1987
You disingenuous Black personhomosexual.

>No! Baka gaijin, you needu 3 hours of tutiorars moru!

Yeah it's more like 20 hours these days
>i'll just blatantly lie, provide 0 examples, and they will be none the wiser
Persona 5
i don't even remember a tutorial in persona 5
>5 minutes cutscene each time they have to explain something basic like hiding, all out attack, backstab etc
>social link didn't open up until 15 hours into the game
>cant go to shops until the game introduced you to them in 15 minutes cutscene
Persona is visual novel
Persona 5, here you go.
Gosh, I sure wish I had more movie games and real time strategy games to git gud at... I bet this time I will beat my SimCity highscore...

Another dumb homosexual.
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.
Japan also worships Last of Us or whatever shitty game that the west also loves, the industry right now is just a giant pile of shit.
>This genre is dead!
>That genre is dead as well!
We're not holding a popularity contest, you insecure homosexual.
I'm just saying that west weirdly was dominating genres that also died or got warped into something completely different, that's why i can agree with the other guy that without Japan the industry wouldn't be remotely as large as it is now. And now that i think about it maybe that would have been a good thing, less casuals is always a good thing
Imagine still caring about Resident Evil after RE4 came out, couldn't be me
Japan absolutely makes better puzzle games, the rest is as i said who gives a frick, also no shit the west makes better simulators, they have big budgets and since they tend to have no creativity they love REALISM, which is really all you need to make a "good" simulator
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.
>Japan also worships Last of Us
Don't say that to these demented fricking moronic weebs. They love pretending modern Resident Evil isn't just a last of us clone
LoU is just a moviefied Gears of War.
Funny how morons in this subleddit keep jerking off about "the revival of CRPG" when 99% of the games from this revival shit was shitty and cringe or unfinished janky as frick
Do PC gays really? None of those are relevant aside from shooters.
>I fully believe this medium would've been dead by now
Hmmm...maybe that's the real reason as to why the 1982 video game crash happened. It was truly a 100% American industry back then.
>What was up with the hate towards Japanese video games back in the early 2010s?
Blatantly obvious jealousy
Sometimes I wonder what would happened if Ultima was the one that got big in Japan instead of Wizardry.
*would have happened
Didn't most of the devs who were in this quit the industry?
truly the grandest of ironies
One made isaac reborn, other made the witness. Nothing new as of late.
It was right when woke shit was on the rise and japanese games were the antithesis of it.
Why are people comparring western rpg's to jrpg's? Aren't all jp rpgs turn based? Last wrpg I played with turn based combat was the old fallout games (I ain't playing indie shit). Basically they're not even the same genre anymore.
Phil Fish was just your average moron forum user, who thanks to making a pretty good game, suddenly got catapulted into famousness by said game, but since he got ZERO media training, he now blasted his moron forum user opinions out to millions of people, and millions of people shouted back "You're fricking moronic".
I mean think about it:
>Japanese games all suck
Super broad dumb statement
>PCs are for spreadsheets not for video games
Super dumb statement
>Compare your life to mine and then have a nice day
>I guess I'm Hitler, then
I mean look at these and tell me you can't imagine them coming from some random dumb youtube comment, or some 15 follower account on twitter.
Now imagine that idiot suddenly had thousands and thousands of followers. And every time he posted another shit tier opinion, thousands of those tell him he's an idiot.
Of course he'd lose his god damn mind.
Frick, some anons on here lose their minds when they get 3 replies telling them they're moronic. Imagine getting thousands.
Every issue Western games have with over-tutorialization, Japanese games have x10. Of course not every game, and for kids' games and family-friendly stuff it sometimes makes sense, but it's often painful.
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.
>Games as a service. Endless DLC. Virtual economies. Endless reiterations of trash like CoD and Ass Creed.
You dumb Black personhomosexual.
>microtransactions and pointless expansions
Borrowed straight out of gacha games.
>endless and pointless sequels
Japan's entire vidya industry has been riding this concept since the late 1980s. Give me a Western series that has fricking SIXTEEN main titles plus another half a dozen sub-titles, like Final Fantasy.
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.
All modern games suck
I enjoy fighting games, shmups, platformers, dungeon crawlers, and TRPGs, so obviously I gravitated towards Japanese games at the time since they were mostly the only ones still making them (and still kinda are).
The Western indie scene has improved over the years, at least in regards to my interests, but I'd actually argue that the AAA space has become even more stagnant and redundant.
This was during the early 360/PS3 era and yeah, Japanese games were kinda sucking.
Finally someone said it, frick jap games and the trannies that shill that shit.
Japan and the West are basically the same.
phil fish is such a fricking homosexual
The need for websites to generate daily clickbait created the (literal) dick sucking relationship between western devs and media, and people actually believed the latter's shit until the mid-2010s.
Like you can literally point at the timeline between GG and people suddenly believing Japanese games were good again.
Meanwhile
Paid review scores and daily opinion pieces about how Japanese are big dumb primitive babies are different things.
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
Americans have viewed the japanese as subhuman bugmen since they first made contact and it never changed. To be an american is to uncontrollably seethe at the thought of the japanese not being enslaved and destroyed because the white man's empire must grow larger.
Lack of originality. Japan kept making the same copy-paste bullshit for over a decade
Who gives a shit about Phil Fish?
Ganker would call him based if fez came out today
Ganker is full of redditors who think Ganker is /b/, their opinion means about as much to be as a pile of elephant shit
No we wouldn't, he was a pozzed leftist who was pro-Anita Sarkesian.
And thats why....
Because this shithole is full of plebbitors and troonycord raiders.
you're not fooling anyone, leftist
>Goldbloom
why is it always ~~*them*~~
no, couldnt be the decade of trap threads
FF13 and FF14 (OG) also besides Dark Souls it felt like there was a biiiig drought of really good Japanese games around that time and SC2, Mass Effect 2, God of War 3, Red Dead Redemption, Witcher 2, Portal 2 and fricking Skyrim all came out in the early 2010s while the western indie scene was going crazy with super meat boy, bastion, binding of isaac, terraria, amnesia, and fricking minecraft of all games.
the west was in a massive upswing for games and japan was kind of flying under the radar.

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.
Even if I agreed that recent jap games are garbage, I would still pick them over any of the shit that passes for games according to western developers without a second thought.
never forget
japanese games are shit and so are western games
why does nobody understand what makes games good 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.
Phil Fish isn’t one to criticize someone else’s work. The guy made exactly one game, had a tantrum, then left forever. His expertise doesn’t extend very far.
Frick both.

Reddit, you'll fit right in
You must be new
I never heard of this. Sounds like indie shitters were just mad that they couldn't make legitimately good games.
Probably because video games became super normalgay garbage in the 00s, so when Fish made this comment, it was really him making fun of Japs for not having jumped on the bandwagon yet.
But don't worry, they did.
He was right. Look at any souls shit game. Japanese gaming is trash.
Western devs simply coping and seething. Still goes on to this day, although most accept and understand the order of things.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. In Phil Fish's case it was this and when he made the executive decision to not make videogames himself.
Hopefully the time matches your hands soon.
Ok but why was HD development so hard for Japan?
You won't get an answer. It's a meme Ganker keeps spouting, hoping if they say it enough, it will eventually become true.
Hey wait a minute…
>east is le bad
>no west is le bad
real homies know what's up
Krauts made that. They channeled their Attila the Hun genes and made something decent.
Maybe I'm just getting older, or maybe Japanese games have been slipping, but they're not as reliable as they used to be. I mean shit, we're literally memeing on Forspoken right now.
square enix has largely made shit for the better part of 2 decades, forspoken is just continuing the trend
Disrespectful piece of shit
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.
Do you know what "Doujin" games are? Indie games.
You should check out DLsites Allages "doujin" section, there are literally thousands of games there that are made by indie devs.

>is a
Literally all indie games are rip offs of Japanese games.
Other way around. Asians have never done anything original in their entire negative existance. The world would be a better place had they never existed.
Nah, if America was nuked to smithereens the world would lose nothing, you’re the most disgusting, vapid people on Earth in comparison to Japanese people.
I've been playing nothing but jap games so far. DMC V, Elden ring, Bayo3, Zelda BotW, Master duel, etc.. What's a good western game that is worth a damn?
Try Hidden & Dangerous 2. It's Czech though, so I don't know if that counts as western for you.
It only blew up because a japanese guy is asking in a panel full of westerners, clearly struggling to speak english, in hopes of learning some western craft only to get shut down by "lol jap games suck"
If it was in any other occasion nobody would give a shit
he's right but he's still a massive homosexual.
also japanese games are by comparison no worse than the absolute garbage that the west puts out, so the comment is meaningless at this point
The most impressive part of that clickbait is that it manages to be categorically incorrect within the first four words.
He's kinda right.
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.
Western Imperialism, unable to accept that their products were of lower quality they began a campaign of subversion against the East.
He had a point. Japan peaked in the 90s. They aren't any better now. Seriously, how many Japanese games in the last 10 years are even remarkable enough to be a contender for best game in their respective series/genre?
Bloodborne, Zelda BotW, Rhythm games, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade, FFXIV, etc.
>He had a point. Japan peaked in the 90s. They aren't any better now.
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.
Reminder: He was b***hy about Zelda because it was too hand-holdy. He basically said every Japanese game is like this, and presumably western games are not. Unless you are zoomer, you will understand how fricking moronic that is.
Seething jealously and xenophobia
>back in the early 2010s?
You're implying that it's ever ended, If anything both developers and consumers are both much more openly xenophobic towards Japanese devs, and it's only gonna get worse.
Not really.
Yes really. Do you remember how many western devs were seething over Elden Ring's success? And let's now even mention how many consumers nowadays openly advocate censorship of Japanese media they find distasteful whereas before they'd just be unaware or not give a shit.
How are either of those things xenophobic?
Because they only feel that way about those things because those things are Japanses.
If you don't worship everything Japan does you're xenophobic
Nah. Japan and the west can do the same thing but only Japan is bad for it.
Take sex scenes and fanservice for example.
There are no sex scenes in any AAA/AA Japanese game, meanwhile you have shit like OG God of War and TLoU2. But Japan is bad for showing panties sometimes or having a girl in a swimsuit as a clothing option.
Because silly. When I show my disgusting troonybodybuilder do some sweaty unappealing humping I'm telling a STORY. You are just trying to make your customers happy with fanservice.
This guy gets it. Japan will continue to draw the ire of the west until it's games become more congruent with western games in mechanics, themes, and social values..
Wytes only have one mindset. If they rise, other must fall. Back then western game dev just finally got its footing back.
I used to love Japan in the 2000s
The only comparison I see is the past and the present.
I still love Japan
Imagine the sex after a good dance workout session
You'd have to be a shota for that.
Yes, japanese games sucked during the PS3/X360 gen before Dark Souls came out because everyone was trying to please the US audience instead of doing their own thing. Now go check the most successful games, they are all japanese.
That began in the 6th generation, though.
I went back and watched this conference, and Phil Fish just came off like an obnoxious narcissist homosexual. Jonathan Blow actually had some interesting insight to offer, though.
Did any Japanese people find out about this? Does anyone have any links to any of their responses?
>What was up with the hate towards Japanese video games back in the early 2010s?
It still hasn't ended. They just realized it looks bad to do it so publicly. Instead they take underhanded actions now like Sony's "content review" board, or Xbox flipfloping on game approval, or the whole shitshow with the handful of Steam approvers denying every non AAA japanese game.
Don't forget Nintendo of America regularly checking in on development and policing Nintendo Japan's content.
This was also the era of Reggie arbitrarily deciding not to localize games in NoA because he didn't like them.
Phil Fish is a homosexual
simple as
He wasn't wrong, Nip games definitely hit a nadir at around that time that they only came out of in the ladder half of the decade once they stopped being quite so desperate to appeal to the international market directly and stopped copying western design philosophies
Imagine saying this the year Dark Souls came out, what a moron.
This dude screwed some little Japanese guy out of all of the code for that game.
Then made these comments.
Hilarious. Nothing funnier than these bourgeoise, white homosexuals.
He would have been wrong in 2017-2020 when Jap devs are encouraged thanks to him. Sadly he was right in 2020. En arudin Phil Fish(In memory of Phil Fish).
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 how can they fall so soon and Dominated by Genshin so easily?
Genshin is the Black ship(Which opened the Japan's door in 1860) which turns Elden ring,Sekiro,Bloodborne,Dark souls 3,DMC5,MHW,RE7 into shovelware.
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.
Where did Japanese game's glory when they revived in 2017?
At least we west have Hogwart,Starfield,Diablo 4,Cod MW2,Elder scrolls 6,Dragonflight.

They were doing some fricking stupid shit.
Just look at Capcom and their boneheaded moronation during then. Asura's wrath and Marvel 3 are good examples of this, not to mention the whole megaman legends 3 debacle.
The early 10s was a moment of weakness for Japan so westoids tried their hardest to capitalize in that. Like soulless vermin vultures circling arlund what they thought would be a dying industry.
A shame that Japan completely dabbed on the west in the latter half of the decade and continued that momentum.
And 2020s was even worse than PS360 era for Japan. 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 Dominated by Genshin so easily. which turns Elden ring,Sekiro,Bloodborne,Dark souls 3,DMC5,MHW,RE7 into shovelware.
Recent games like MH rise, Soul Hackers 2,SMTV,Pokemon SV,FE engage are so Kusoge that they show the Japanese game's fall. For there is no Japanese game with higher metascore than Genshin(81-84) since 2021.

China is the Protoss/Eldar of Reality.
>who love grindans
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.
Yeah i never play asiaticshit piss of you fricking zipperhead
Jprgs have always been shit
90% of the western indie scene wouldn't exist without japanese games to rip off. That includes Fez.
the transition to HD and chasing western trends turned them to shit. How many near and dear Japanese franchises had an entry considered the best during that gen?
Disgaea 4 is usually concidered one of the best in the series (Under Disgaea 1, of course)
Why did Switch sold more than PS5 and XSX worldwide then?
>the transition to HD
Graphics are not a good thing. Notice the quality of western AAA dropped hard when the quality of graphics increased.
Resolution isn't graphics. It's the exact opposite.
Discordspammers are getting very transparent
Nintendo and Sega used to carry the Japanese industry. Sega died after the Dreamcast and Nintendo was dead during the Wii/Wii U casual era. But with Nintendo stepping up again the japs look much better now.
he's not wrong, all throughout the 00's japan fell way way behind the west in sales in pretty much every genre with Fromsoftware being the only outlier. Theyve been turning it around since 2015 or so now.
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)
It was a step to ~~*Westernize*~~ them. Sadly, it worked out all too well.
Americans are disgusting, uptight and arrogant people who are lashing out now because Japan makes better games than them. they need to be carpet bombed.
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.
What the frick are you talking out dumb schizo chink?
Chinese people are automatons incapable of making anything new or original.
And Lies of P will mog every Japanese game.which is Pure Korean development. No Japanese or Western devs poached at all.
Lies of P is a rip off of Bloodborne.
Its fricking blantly ripoff you fuvking piece of shit suck a wiener

What?
Why is OW2's score even lower than Kusoge named FE engage?
This is a few years before western entertainment went off a cliff, so for a brief time his statement was at least arguable.
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.
Fez was great.
>100% fez before I knew fish was a complete homosexual
I was thinking of replaying it but I have no desire because phil is such a fricking gay.
I like him. Also Fez has no poop people it.
The most b***h thing he did was rage quit game development. He had to be addicted to social media to be that affected.
a whole entire thread and only like one of you remember to say "suck my dick choke on it"
disappointment
>Western shit is filled with shitty pozzed open world garbage, live service cancers and le depressed quirky indieshit
>Ganker still defends western shit to the ends of the earth when they are the cancer killing gaming
I swear its a bunch of PC gays that cant let go the fact that the western games theyve all grown up with either had their series die, genre die or turned into a soulless husk of itself so they lash at japanese games
>I swear its a bunch of PC gays that cant let go the fact that the western games theyve all grown up with either had their series die, genre die or turned into a soulless husk of itself so they lash at japanese games
It's just WRPG fans the senile old fricks. Try asking them about good WRPGs released recently and see what happens.
>implying japanese aren't pozzed
Have you played any Nintendo game recently? They're even more pozzed than western games now
>They're even more pozzed than western games now
>more pozzed than western games
PFFFF HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
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.
What with this moron ar toran el dono nadono arurun shit? some forced meme?
The Three Rules of Western Inferiority Complex
>You can end “the thing about Japanese games is…” with anything and people will nod along
>The failing of any Japanese game is indicative of all Japanese games
>The success of any Japanese game - design, sales, critical or technical - is at best anecdotal and irrelevant
Looking at this thread, i think this is pretty accurate
>ITT PC gay meltdown
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.
FROM single-handedly redeemed Japanese gaming in the HD era.
FFXIV,Persona 5 and DaS3 has revified Japanese game in thanks to Phil Fish's encouraging and bitter word.
racism
i don't know what Fez is
Phil and Japan can both get fricked. The best industry was the European one before IBM compats became universal and the industry got ovverun by Intel, Microsoft and the American shart of endless israeli greed under which we all now live.
Cope, Eurogay. You stopped being relevant when the Amiga died.
>look at me, I'm a European Amiga dev, it's 1993 and I still can't do platformer controls correctly even though Mario has been out for over half a decade
2010 pixel indie devs were basically delusional neckbeards who thought they could do better than the Japanese classics lol
It's part of the demented white psyche to overestimate and aggrandize themselves
I remember every other day some western homosexual writing an article claiming the death of JRPGs
They’re attacking imagepoch as worst thing ever when they made amazing toushin toshi remake on 3ds. Toki to towa had dun battle system but high encounters
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.
shit take
Western journalists propaganda since they’re getting paid by western companies to shill their gay shooters and walking simulators. I remember shilling for grafxxx when they looked like shit. Gamergay exposed paid reviews
Cute asian girls!
