I am Japanese.
When I was in junior high school, Monster 2ndg was very popular. There were 35 people in my class. There were about 18 guys, but 10 of them were playing Monster Hunter 2g and we were all in g class. After school we all played Monster Hunter together.
The game was so popular in Japan, but I was surprised to hear that nobody in other countries knew about it.

It's Capcom's most popular franchise now, what do you mean?
Also stop not having sex
>Also stop not having sex
Everyone in Japan should have sex to honour Abe
Possibly because getting together to play handheld games isn't popular outside of japan.
Did you miss the part where World sold like 20 million copies worldwide?
he's talking about fu moron
Not my problem he can't form a question properly.
If you can't understand him you are moronic and have a problem.
Frick off
Not anymore
World sold ~3.4 million copies in Japan as of September 2020
it still sold worse than p3rd and was overall not an outlier in japan unlike in the west
That nosedive for IB always cracks me up.
They were giving World away to anyone that bought a GPU promoting it at the time and it count as sold. How many of those GPU owner claim it is another story.
Looks like there were a lot of people that got persuaded by advertising into buying world and realized they didn't really like it
Up until recently, the west was mostly console gamers.
High barrier to entry. The old games are VERY clunky.
Americans dont live close to each other
We dont have country wide wifi
We dont use public transportation
Only children use portable gaming devices here.
And im mongolian and i dunno nothing about a wind that killed my ancestors and a ghost of tsushima game that said that we lost and we didnt raped your asses
I mean you could say the same for the opposite. why wasn't halo popular in japan? why wasn't Gta popular in japan? gears? god of war? they were huge in other countries.
just different audiences. also japan are weebs so majority of them being gaming geeks was a common thing back then. whereas in other countries, irl stuff was more important. have sex.

Because the West has absolute shittaste. There is a reason the most succesful MH in the West doesn't have a single monster in the top 30 Japan monster charts and is a fricking shit game
Franchises becoming big in America is always a huge red flag, also see DMC5, Zelda BotW, Fire Emblem Awakening, RE3 and everything after 4, Street Fighter
bro where are these top mon charts i wanna see
It's too Japanese with literally no cultural references outside of Japan.
>The monsters belong to the Japanese folklore
>the characters are all Japanese Japanese from Japanese Japan
>the food, the places of life, the architecture, etc. are Japanese
they arent though ?
There's exceptions. I had 4 friends that played FU with me back in high school, one of them lived close to the school so we'd just walk there after school every friday to get really high and play MH. We played together up until 4G and then the group kinda fell apart, though I still play the newer games with one of them.
You will never be japanese.
>I am Japanese.
No, you're not. You will never be Japanese.
People didnt like the psp here. I only had one friend who owned a psp and he was too much of a pussy to learn the game. I ended up buying a cheap one for my little sister to play co-op with.
The only people I knew who had PSPs used them for porn
Other countries only cared about shooters
Nerds were into wow and the west works om propaganda
